Unwrapping the Impact of Stress, Social Interactions, and Summer Heat on Skin and Gut Health during the festive season and Summer

Facial Impressions Avalon Unwraps the Impact of Stress, Social Interactions, and Summer Heat on Skin and Gut Health during Christmas and the Summer Festive Season"**

*Stress and Skin Health:*

The festive season sparkles with joy, but amid the celebrations, stress can cast its shadow. Stress isn't just a mental burden; it's a complexion disruptor. Cortisol, the stress hormone, can be a catalyst for skin issues. It unleashes havoc on our skin, triggering breakouts, aggravating acne, and even hastening the aging process. This holiday, amidst the hustle, let's not forget to give our skin a breather.

*Social Interactions and Gut Harmony:*

'Tis the season for reunions and gatherings! Yet, amidst the laughter and warmth, our gut might be sending distress signals. Our gut health is intimately connected with our mental well-being, and social interactions, though joyous, can throw this equilibrium off-kilter. Digestive woes might sneak in, reminding us to strike a balance between the joy of connections and the sanctity of gut health.

*Summer Heat's Caress and Challenge:*

As the sun showers its warmth upon the festive season, the heat can become a double-edged sword. While it offers the pleasures of summer, it also poses challenges for our skin and gut. Dehydration can knock on our doors, leaving our skin parched and our gut yearning for hydration. Balancing the festivity with hydration might just be the key to unlocking a healthier holiday glow.

In the symphony of merriment, it's easy to overlook the chorus of our body's needs. So, as we embraced the festive cheer, let's not forget the tunes our skin and gut are playing in response to the season's unique symphony.

How sugar ages your skin: the process of glycation

What is glycation? Glycation is a reaction that occurs in the body where sugar molecules, such as glucose or fructose, bond with protein molecules to form a new, differently-shaped compound. These new substances are known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and are responsible for many of the negative effects of glycation [1].

Collagen, elastin and skin structure - Glycation's impact on the skin is multi-fold, and the process contributes to numerous signs of skin ageing. It changes structural elements in the skin, including damaging collagen and elastin.

How Your Skin Changes During Menopause

The skin changes during menopause in several ways, all related to other changes in the body. When this happens, our skincare regimes can need a shake-up. Understanding what skincare is best for menopausal skin and why the skin changes during menopause is one small way to ensure wellbeing at a time that can be unnerving.

What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a powerful light source to improve the appearance of skin. It is a popular treatment for a variety of skin concerns, such as sun damage, age spots, freckles, and rosacea. The light energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigmented areas, causing them to break down and fade over time.

IPL stimulates collagen production, which can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. This treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands and other body areas. It is suitable for most skin types.

Feed your skin from within.

By only treating the outside of the skin with topical creams, you are only doing 50% of the work. By feeding the skin from the inside, you are nourishing the skin from head to toe, achieving 100% skincare.

Did you know the human body makes 200 million skin cells an hour? We make skin cells from food, vitamins, and nutrients. In fact, the food you consumed yesterday has already entered your bloodstream and, in one week, will be in the outer layer of the skin (the stratum corneum). Advanced Nutrition Programme's science-led ingredients work to feed your future skin from within.

Hello 2023! ✨

Naturopathy is a great way to help nourish your skin from the inside out. There are many natural treatments that could be beneficial for your skin, such as dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, and supplements. The skin and gut axis is a connection between the two systems that is based on the bidirectional flow of information. This connection is important for maintaining the normal functioning of each system and the overall health of the body. The skin and gut axis is regulated by the immune system and hormones, which play a role in controlling skin health, digestion, and metabolism. By understanding the mechanisms of this connection, researchers are able to better understand the relationship between skin and gut health and develop treatments that can improve overall health.

Let’s talk about Glutathione!

Glutathione is a tri-peptide, which consists of a combination of 3 types of amino acids such as glycine, glutamate, and cystine. Glutathione is a moisturising and brightening component that improves the skins tone by inhibiting formation of eumelainin in the skin.

Glutathione is an effective active ingredient that leads to a brighter skin complexion with reduced pigmentation.

It is effective yet safe ingredient without any free radicals or toxins that are harmful for the skin.

What Is Product Sandwiching And Should You Try It?

The idea behind this trend mainly lied within trapping moisture into the skin to prevent transepidermal water loss, and keep the skin looking glowing and hydrated. It is recommended that the skin is damp from the first cleanse prior to applying active and hydrating products. The flow of each product supports an enhanced result that locks in moisture and “sandwiches” the accumulative benefits of the formulations. Retinol sandwiching on the other hand is quite literally sandwiching your retinol between two layers of moisturiser to help avoid retinol burns or irritation.
