Unlock your skin’s natural glow: Essential tips for healthy skin

by amaryllisturman

Did you know your skin is your body’s largest organ and a vital protective barrier? Taking care of it isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about supporting your overall health and well-being.

Here are some key habits to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin:

1. Nourish from the inside out: Fuel your skin with a balanced diet

  • Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables: These are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that combat cell-damaging free radicals and promote skin health. Brightly colored varieties like berries, tomatoes, leafy greens, and nuts are particularly beneficial.
  • Incorporate healthy fats: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, maintain the skin’s moisture barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated, plump, and supple.

2. Protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays

  • Wear sunscreen daily: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, even on cloudy days, to protect against sun damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer.
  • Seek shade and wear protective clothing: Minimize sun exposure, especially during peak hours, and cover up with hats and long sleeves when outdoors.
  • Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps: These emit harmful UV rays that accelerate skin aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.

3. Establish a consistent skincare routine

  • Cleanse gently: Wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser suited for your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. Avoid harsh scrubbing that can irritate the skin.
  • Moisturize regularly: Apply moisturizer after cleansing to hydrate and nourish your skin. Choose a formula that’s right for your skin type – lighter lotions for normal or oily skin, and richer creams for dry or mature skin.
  • Consider targeted treatments: Incorporate serums or treatments with ingredients like vitamin C or retinol to address specific concerns like fine lines or hyperpigmentation

DIY Lotion Bars

by amaryllisturman

In my latest DIY project, I made lotion bars and I used the dandelion infused coconut oil I made a few weeks ago along with shea butter and beeswax.

I melted those ingredients in a double boiler (or glass bowl in pot) over medium high heat.

FYI: The beeswax helps it to remain firm in warmer temperatures .

Then I scented the batch with lavender and frankincense because these are both great for supporting healthy skin.

Then I poured the oil into the mold and chilled in the freezer until completely solid.

Side note: I love these cute molds!!!
