Our skin is the largest organ and with that important role comes a lot of hard work. It helps to regulate our body temperature, but its main role is to provide protection, creating a barrier between us and external substances. As we wind down, the evening gives skin a chance to renew itself and heal any damage from the day like UV exposure, pollution or stress.
Let’s find out what happens to our skin while we sleep.
Many of us at some point in our lives may experience acne. Dirt, dead skin cells, and oil can clog in the pores leading to blackheads, whiteheads or cysts. Other factors such as diet, hormones, lifestyle, and stress can also cause flare-ups and in some cases the spots can leave behind scars on the skin.
It’s a skin concern that can vary in severeness and duration. Sometimes, seasonal changes can affect the skin too. Today we’re looking at how the colder season may affect acne.
The thought of covering your face in oil may seem at odds with what a good skincare routine should look like, but there are many benefits to using a facial oil. The key is to choose an oil that will balance and nourish your skin without clogging pores.
As well as providing a deep boost of hydration, facial oils can help to balance sebum (natural oil) production and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
At ishga, we use four types of seaweed in our organic skincare; Fucus Serratus, Fucus Vesculosis, Pelvetia Canaliculata, and Ascophyllum Nodosum. The two types that go into the majority of our products are Fucus Serratus and Fucus Vesculosis, both of which hold powerful benefits for our skin.
