Post New Year’s Eve Skincare

Easy To Follow Simple Skincare Steps.
- Remove all the make-up – You absolutely must take it all off!! Sleeping in your make-up is just terrible for your skin. If you do only one thing at the end of the day wash your face properly, it’s the fastest and least expensive way to see positive results in your skin. To start with makeup can trap dirt and environmental pollutants inside the skin. If that alone wasn’t unappealing enough this type of environmental stress can result in increased free radicals which can cause DNA mutations, collagen degradation and over time the dreaded premature ageing. Eminence Herbal Eye Make-up Remover is suitable for even the most sensitive eyes, the eye area is left perfectly cleansed, refreshed and revitalised with puffiness reduced and the eye area protected with antioxidant rich herbs. Remove skin impurities including all scraps of make-up with Eminence Stone Crop Cleansing Oil which leaves the skin fresh, dewy and soft.
- And cleanse again! – Even if you used a cleanser to help remove make-up, use one again on your make-up free face. The make-up remover/initial make-up removing cleanse will take off all your make-up but using the cleanser on your bare face will make sure that we have removed all possible pollutants from our faces. We love Eminence Kombucha Microbiome Foaming Cleanser, it leaves the skin clean and refreshed with a healthy looking complexion, maintains the skins microbiome and leaves the skin primed for further treatment.
- Serum for an extra skin boost – Those of us who love our skincare products may have some extra steps to their usual night time skincare routine such as a balancing essence or exfoliator but considering this is post New Year’s Eve and we just want to go to bed we’ll keep this brief! A serum is a really important step particularly when burning the candle at both ends, serums penetrate more deeply than moisturisers and give the skin much needed nutrients and vitamins. Serums are great for reducing wrinkles and making your skin smoother and firmer. They are in no way a substitute for moisturisers as they are lightweight and don’t actually hydrate your skin enough alone. If you’re looking for a must have serum Eminence Stone Crop Serum is an intense hydrator which relieves the appearance of signs of ageing. It’s suitable for all skin types including sensitive and pigmentation.
- Night Time Hero! – During the night our skin loses a lot of moisture but is also very absorbent. As a result, using night cream is a really good idea as it both prevents the loss of moisture from the skin and also means that products are extra effective on the skin overnight. Eminence Marine Flower Peptide Night Cream works like overnight magic, locking in moisture and reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. You’ll wake up fresh, hydrated and with firmer looking skin. You can use Eminence Day moisturisers at night if you want to use a lighter textured cream, due to the high percentage of active ingredients in our products (85-95%) you will still get great results.
- Get some sleep! – Even though it’s late and you probably won’t get as much sleep as usual it’s so important to get as much good quality sleep as you can in order to wake up looking your best on New Year’s Day. When you sleep blood flow to the epidermis increases which is when your skin begins to rebuild and produce new collagen which prevents sagging. More collagen means skin is plumper and less likely to wrinkle, by only getting an average of 5 hours sleep a night as opposed to 7 you are increasing the likelihood of developing twice the number of fine lines!
Wake-Up fresh and ready to follow up on your skincare resolutions!
The New Year offers us a blank slate and an opportunity to get things right. The concept of self-efficacy means that by virtue of aspiring to a goal and following through on it we have a sense of control over what is happening in our lives. It is a cyclical marker to re-evaluate and take inventory of our lives and looking after our skin as a New Year’s resolution isn’t just about putting on moisturiser. It’s a whole package, by vowing to take care of our skin we are also taking a pledge to our bodies and minds as skin health is part and parcel of what we eat, how we exercise, how we sleep and most forgotten but just as essential, how kind we are to ourselves. When you feel stressed your sympathetic nervous system releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline into your body. Cortisol causes increased oil production in your skin glands which can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts. Stressed skin also presents as eye bags, dry skin, inflammation and an increase in fine lines and wrinkles.
You really can make significant improvements to your skin health, just keep at it and remember not to give up if you slip up. It’s not the end of the world to make a mistake just get back on that horse and keep riding!!
