For even the most zen of us, stress can easily creep into our daily lives. High levels of stress can often lead to acne, wrinkles, dry skin and more. We know we can’t pour from an empty cup, so it’s important to practise calming your mind through small, mindful rituals that help you to slow down and show yourself some love!
1. Meditation
Meditation not only reduces stress and strengthens immunity, it can also produces a natural sebum oil on the skin, filled with happy hormones that balance the skin. Pausing and coming back to your breath is one of the most grounding, calming practices we can do.
Created to treat more than just skin, the Ginger&ME Mindfulness Sessions acknowledge that life is busy, people are time poor and that often there is little time left for self-love. This scientific yet indulgent meditative facial treatment using medical-grade actives, is guaranteed to calm the mind and body and refresh and awaken the skin. A holistic combination like no other!
2. Run a candle-lit bath
As we head towards Winter, it is the perfect time to warm up in a luxurious, steamy bath and reap all those restorative benefits! A 30-minute soak lit with an Anam Cara scented candle is the perfect way to unfurl tense shoulders and soothe nerves. Add a cup of bath salts for added relief and if your skin is a little dry splash in some body oil.
3. Call a friend
Never underestimate the power of conversation. Connecting or re-connecting with friends and family is a means of self-care that can help get through stressful situations.
4. Care for your skin
Once you have spoken to your skin therapist about a tailored made skin care routine for your individual skin goals, looking after your skin is a wonderful ritual as it is soothing, calming and meditative. It is also the perfect way to really take time out for yourself after a busy day or to set good intentions in the morning for the day ahead. At night, we love applying the O Cosmedics Hydra Plus Sleep-In Mask for deep complexion hydration that literally restores radiance while you sleep!
5. Move your body
If you’re feeling mentally spent, the endorphin rush that accompanies exercise, whether it’s a HIIT class, yoga session or a brisk outdoor walk, is hard to beat. Moving our bodies daily is essential for not only our health, our strength but also for healthy skin. For added support to our bodies, especially in an age where we are time-poor, over-worked and under-rested, and where natural foods aren’t always as nutrient-rich as they once were, adding Kiki Health superfoods and supplements into your regime is a wonderful way to glow from the inside out!
6. Give yourself the gift of pampering
Why not show yourself some extra love with an advanced facial or massage treatment? Pre-booking a treatment encourages you to book in the diary some “me time”. The benefits? Glowing skin and a long lasting impact on the way you feel! Read More…
