5 Healthy Ways to Restore Your Skin

Better skin in two months? Improve your skin complexion and texture with these tips from the experts.  We have to swap out some daily habits and be more aware of other lifestyle factors that could help you figure out how to get better skin.

  1. Cleansing

It may sound ‘old-school’. Washing your face is super important as it cleans away dirt, oil, bacteria and traces of make-up that would otherwise be left sitting on your skin. This includes touching your mobile phone to your ear, touching your face as you brush away loose strands of hair, or even accidentally touching your face during the day.  Not washing your face lays the ground work for clogged pores, irritated skin and breakouts. Plus, the stakes get even higher if you are also wearing a face full of makeup.  

  • Stick to washing your face twice a day – once in the morning to cleanse any oil and dirt that has built up overnight, and once in the evening to remove any dirt, bacteria and make-up.
  • Use a non-soap cleanser that is suited to your skin. If possible, try to avoid harsh chemicals as these can be irritating and drying out your skin. Choose a ‘non-soap’ and natural cleanser that helps to maintain your skin’s pH balance, leaving your skin feels fresh, clean without dryness .
  • Treat your skin gentle. Use pure cotton muslin cloths for gently exfoliation, lifting away dead skin cells to reveal smoother and clearer looking skin.
  • Choose natural skin care that is rich in essential oils, herbal extracts, natural vitamins and plant-based extracts that are assimilated easily and quickly by the skin. Check out Kathleen Natural Refreshing and Lightening Cleansing Lotion.

 

 

2. Drink Water

Even with a small amount of dehydration, your body functions in a less optimal way. It will take a toll on your skin, causing it to look dull, flaky, saggy and loose.

  • You need to drink a minimum of 2.5-3 liters (6 to 8 glasses) of water per day.
  • Drinking water also helps to eliminate toxins from your body.
  • If drinking water isn’t your thing, you can drink herbal tea or add slices of lemon to your drink.
  • Water is your best friend and it helps keep skin healthy, smooth and plump!

 

 

 

3. Skin Hydration

Skin hydration keeps the top layer of skin cells hydrated and seals in moisture, and emollients to smooth the spaces between skin cells.

 

 

4. Nutrition

Tips from Natural and Organic Brand Kathleen

Eat healthy helps keep your skin, hair and nails glowing. Our expects provide the following tips.

  • Vitamins are nutrients your body needs to work properly and stay healthy. Cheese, oily fish and eggs contain Vitamin A. Oatmeal, eggs and fresh fruits contain Vitamin B. Lemons, oranges, bell peppers and cauliflowers contain Vitamin C. Olives, spinach, nuts and seeds contain Vitamin E.  Leafy green vegetables, meats and dairy products contain Vitamin K.
  • Oily Fish is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids that work to hydrate and lock moisture into cells.
  • Mangoes, Tomatoes and Berries contain compounds with antioxidant properties. Eat less saturated fats, sugar and salts.

 

 

 

5. Skin Nutrition

Even the best skin cleansing routine your skin still looks dry, dull, red or flaky in your 25+ because of hormonal imbalance, heavy make-up, obsession for wines and over stress etc.

  • Look for brightening skin care products with all natural ingredients, such as cranberry, liquorice, strawberry and papaya extract, they are rich in antioxidants, fruit acids and vitamin C  that  helps even the skin tone and leaving the skin glowing.

  • Hyaluronic acid has a super ability to attract and retain more than 1000 times their weight in water.  It can be absorbed by the skin and keeps your skin plump.
  • Coenzyme Q10 is a natural anti-aging hero that has energy carrier function to benefit the skin cell regeneration. Check out Kathleen Natural Glamour Ageless Anti-Aging Serum.
  • Always cleanse hands and face thoroughly before applying any products in order to prevent germs, bacteria, dirt or other contaminating substances from being transferred from your fingers.
  • If you can afford to set aside a facial fund, getting a facial every 4-6 weeks.

Ginseng Root – Science Behind The Wonder

 

Rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and photonutrients – Ginseng Root is prized for its host of skincare benefits. Its substances and vitamins help to maintain the skins elasticity, vitality and regenerates the capacity of skin cells.

Ginseng Root is considered to be one of the most precious plants in Asia and is traditionally used as an herbal medicine in Korea, Japan, India and China for thousands of years.

There are many benefits of using the healing ingredient for skincare:

Induces Collagen and Diminishes Signs of Aging

  • Ginseng Root is praised to be an effective anti-aging skincare treatment due to its natural ability to promote Type l collagen production which helps to make the skin more toned and elastic thus giving it a firmer, brighter, plumper and more youthful appearance. The phytonutrients packed in Ginseng Root work to stimulate the metabolism of the skin resulting in the removal of ‘free radicals’ which damage the skin and speeds along skin aging.

Complexion Booster

  • Ginseng Root is packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which work to slough away dead skin cells and in turn, produce healthy skin and boost the skins complexion. Its properties also work to rehydrate, regenerate and detox the skin by increasing oxygeneration which help to promote a healthy, radiant and glowing appearance.

Wound Healing and Calming

  • Ginseng Root is widely used as an herbal medicine to aid skin regeneration. Its natural healing properties makes the ingredient useful to heal sunburn and skin irritations such as razor burns. It is found that wounds are known to react to even low doses of Ginseng Root as it contains powerful repairing functions. Ginseng Root is a healing ingredient which will leave your skin feeling renewed as it hydrates, brightens, plumps and tones your skin.

 

Kathleen Natural only uses high-grade Ginseng root extract in our Caviar Enrich Eye Cream. Whether you want to find the best eye cream for dark circles, wrinkles or puffiness, this advance formula will refresh and restore your peepers.  This little pot has been packed with 23 actives ingredients including caviar, marine collagen, algae, ginseng, silk peptides, barley, horsetail, sandalwood, green coffee, black willow back and phellodendron, hyaluronic acid and sea buckthorn etc. It promotes the firming and lifting of the skin surrounding the eyes, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Over time, you will notice the under eye area looking more lifted and brighter.

Yes, it is expensive because it works.

10 Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is a hot topic in skincare right now – but how does hyaluronic acid actually benefit the skin?

 

Hyaluronic Acid is one of the newer wonder ingredients taking the skincare industry by storm. Upon hearing ‘acid’, it comes to no surprise that alarm bells may start ringing to some as ‘acids’ just springs ‘harmful chemical!’ to mind, and that’s something you’d rather not have near your delicate skin. We get that – but not to worry, the star ingredient ‘Hyaluronic Acid’ is quite the opposite. Known as the ‘magnet for moisture’ for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water (impressive, huh?), hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in our bodies and aids our skin by replenishing moisture and enhancing the health and appearance of your skin.

 

So, here are 10 ways Hyaluronic Acid benefits the skin (and why Kathleen has chosen to use active ingredients in their best sellers – Caviar Enrich Eye Cream, Amazing White Illuminating Serum and Glamour Ageless Anti-Aging Serum):

1. Hydration – Hyaluronic Acid is able to hold up to 1000 times its molecular weight in water and so, it penetrates the skin and binds skin cells to water, infusing all layers of the skin with valuable, rejuvenating moisture.

2. Humectant – After infusing the epidermis with valuable moisture, Hyaluronic Acid continues to draw moisture in from the surrounding environment to provide lasting hydration benefits.

3. Lipid barrier enhancement – Hyaluronic Acid fortifies the skin’s natural barriers to lock moisture in for an even more dramatic hydrating effect.

4. Increased resilience – By enhancing the skin’s natural barriers, the skin is better able to defend itself against environmental age-factors and pollutants.

5. Tighter skin tone – As it fills the skin with moisture, Hyaluronic acid tightens the overall complexion and firms facial contours for a more youthful appearance.

6. Smoother texture – Much in the same way it tightens the skin, it also smoothes the texture of the skin for a silky smooth finish you can see and feel.

7. Less visible fine lines and wrinkles – Hyaluronic acid reduces the size and visibility of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating skin cell production of collagen and elastin, two fibers that contribute to skin elasticity.

8. Stimulates skin cell regeneration – In addition to stimulating skin cell production of collagen, hyaluronic acid promotes skin cell regeneration for healthier cells and a more vibrant complexion.

9. Pigmentation A description of hyaluronic acid wouldn’t be complete without mentioning ability to reduce and prevent age spots and pigmentation issues.

10. Clarity – By promoting proper moisture balance in the skin, hyaluronic acid prevents the over-production of oil that clogs pores to cause breakouts.

Enjoy Hyaluronic Acid in all its moisturising, anti-aging glory and try Kathleen’s Caviar Enrich Eye Cream, Amazing White Illuminating Serum or Glamour Ageless Anti-Aging Serum.
