A little knowledge can
give us phenomenal power when it comes to our bodies and looking our absolute
best. Stretch marks can really affect some people’s confidence, but they can be
improved, and in some cases become invisible, by reversing the atrophy
(weakened, ‘shrivelled’ skin), repairing damaged/depleted collagen and calm the
associated inflammation.
During the summer
months we can also suffer from flare-ups of body acne, open pores, keratosis
pilaris (red ‘bumps’ normally at the tops of the arms and/or legs and buttocks).
Products that contain
ceramides, plant and fruit extracts, can all assist skin repair, whilst
simultaneously giving anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing benefits. These give
the appearance and feel of increased firmness by stimulating collagen and
elastin, plus reduce excess pigment that can age the face, hands and decollate.
Remember that skin is
the body’s largest organ and the concentration of oil glands and follicles vary
dramatically from the face, to the torso and the limbs.
Ask your skin
specialist to recommend a product containing the correct essential oils with
the appropriate antimicrobial, antifungal and hydrating properties for the
area(s) that concern you. Some of them can even assist with conditions such as
eczema, psoriasis. Many of these are ideally applied at night, and by the
morning you will notice an improvement, what an ideal way to start the day!
