When it comes to skincare, less is often more. In today’s skincare landscape, the search for healthy skin often leads us through an overwhelming maze of skincare products and routines. However, our skin is a reflection of our overall health, influenced by exercise, well-being and the nurturing of our body’s microbiome. Sásta Skin Health is dedicated to educating on the impacts of these elements on skin health, advocating for a simplistic approach to skincare.
Exercise:
Did you know that exercising does more than just get your heart pumping? It boosts blood flow to your skin, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen. This increased level of blood flow also stimulates collagen production and improves cellular turnover, resulting in a healthier, glowing complexion.
Additionally, studies reveal that moving your body can enrich your gut microbiome’s diversity, even without changing your diet. This surge in beneficial bacteria not only balances your body but also promotes overall health and wellbeing .
Aside from mood boosts and glowing skin, regular exercise enhances sleep, balances hormones, and improves gut health. All these factors are key players in achieving glowing skin and overall well-being. Incorporating exercise into your daily routine may seem daunting at first, but making simple adjustments such as taking the stairs over the elevator can yield significant benefits for your health and skin!
Wellness:
In simple terms, wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to improve both physical and mental health. Wellness comes in many forms, however simple additions to your life like spending time outdoors, getting good sleep and eating well not only improves your overall health, but has substantial benefits on your skin.
Breathing in fresh air with an outdoor walk isn’t just a form of exercise but can change your microbiome for the better, boosting beneficial microbe diversity. This means better metabolism, more essential nutrients and stronger defences against pathogens.
Quality sleep is heralded as a cornerstone of skin health. Deep, restorative sleep supports cellular repair, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation, reinforcing the importance of prioritising rest alongside skincare routines.
A well-balanced diet rich in Omega-3s, a variety of fruits and vegetables, and high-fibre prebiotic and probiotic foods nourishes the skin from the inside out, combating inflammation and enhancing complexion. Incorporating these habits into your daily routine can enhance your well-being ultimately resulting in healthier, happier skin.
The microbiome:
At the heart of our skin’s vitality is our microbiome – a community of microbes that live on our skin. They feed our skin and stimulate our skin’s immune system. They are a part of our body’s ecosystem and provide a mutually beneficial support network. Each area of our body has its own unique microbiome of microbes, which includes good bacteria, fungi, and viruses. A balanced, healthy skin biome is essential to clear, even, and glowing skin.
