Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies and our lifestyle choices greatly impact and affect our skin, lack of sleep, diet, alcohol, smoking, UV exposure, stress, environment and exercise may all be the underlying cause of skin conditions such as ageing, dehydration, sensitivity, rosacea, acne and pigmentation.
Our bodies have a natural 24 hour cycle which responds to light and dark which keeps our systems running and our skin in its best condition.
During the day, our bodies work in Defence Mode, protecting our skin against environmental assaults of pollution, UV damage and skin ageing. We are advised to apply daily moisturisers containing UV protection and active ingredients to prevent skin ageing.
Did you know that on cloudy, dull days during the winter months, UV can penetrate the skin causing sun damage and skin cancers which is why it is imperative to use SPF in your moisturiser to protect all year round, not just for your holiday abroad.
At Essential Well-being, we have all your protection covered, we have a product which will meet all of your skin concerns weather your skin is old and dry or young and oily. So, wrap up your skin with the right product and protect it from all of the environmental assaults out there.
At night time, our bodies change from Defence mode of the day to Regeneration mode. While we sleep our bodies naturally regenerate, skin renewal doubles, DNA is repaired, cells detox, collagen levels rise and the body works to suppress UV damage. During this regeneration our body temperature rises, we lose water and our skin dehydrates.
A sleep deprived body can lead to poor immune system, accelerated ageing, inflammation, skin sensitivity, redness and dehydration, so to keep our skin and bodies in optimum condition, 7 hours’ sleep is recommended each night. A regular time for bed, avoiding caffeine during the afternoon and evening and keeping brightly lit mobile devices to a minimum in the evening all help us to achieve a healthy sleep regime.
During the Regeneration Mode overnight your skin requires special night time products which assist with the cell renewal process and aid collagen stimulation. These products intensely moisturise and hydrate and help to maintain skin moisture levels.
Sound Sleep Cocoon is one of our night time products which can be used alone or to cocoon other active serums and creams onto your skin. Sound Sleep Cocoon is a revitalising treatment gel-cream which transforms the skin over night by optimising night time skin recovery. The active ingredients reduce signs of skin fatigue, restore radiance, increase hydration and are clinically shown to improve and brighten skin tone.
Sound Sleep Cocoon combines the active ingredients with encapsulated aromatherapy oils of lavender, Patchouli and Sandalwood to sooth the senses and help to promote restful sleep for healthier looking skin. Treat your skin with this winter and wrap it up both day and night with Dermalogica’s protection day creams and restorative night creams.
