Did you know that the skin is the body’s largest organ? Surprising, I know!

For reference, the average person’s skin can cover an area of 2 square meters and contains more than 17 km of blood vessels. The skin renews itself every 28 days, and changes in it can indicate changes in overall health. That’s why you need to take extra care of it and stop underestimating its importance.

Ditch the stress

The state of your skin is strongly influenced by the chaos in your mind. We have all experienced stress and know how debilitating its effects on the body might be.

Add skin problems to that list as well, because unfortunately, they are not just a cosmetic issue.

Psychodermatology is a new field that deals with the effect of stress on the skin. It has an interdisciplinary approach that would allow new treatments to be used to cure skin problems. Options might include antidepressants, relaxation therapy, or counseling.

Hydration is key

Appropriate hydration is not an easy task at all! The market is flooded with all kinds of moisturizers, toners, and creams that it is no surprise how hard the choice can be sometimes. Moreover, their list of ingredients is often so long that you can easily get lost in translation.

That’s why you should always aim to choose products that are more natural and contain ingredients that are beneficial for your skin and overall wellbeing! You don’t want to put anything nasty on your face, right? Who knows what’s lurking behind the labels of some of the more popular brands. HAYA LABS Aloe Vera Cream is made using only high-quality aloe that leaves the skin soft and healthy. It is abundant in vitamins A, C, and E that give it strong anti-inflammatory properties. This can help with wound healing, scarring, soreness, and swelling. Furthermore, it can slow down the aging process and reduce fine wrinkles.

Lastly, don’t forget to take quicker showers as longer ones can strip away the oily layer of the skin, resulting in dry and flaky skin. Use warm water and no harsh soaps. Moisturize with our aloe vera cream immediately after!
 


Sleeping beauty

People don’t say “get your beauty sleep” for no reason. These precious 6 to 8 hours every night give your skin a break and time to repair itself. If you don’t get enough rest, your skin can’t recover efficiently from sun damage, harmful exposure to particles, and inflammation.

Getting a poor night of sleep can result in:

• Dark circles under the eyes
• Swollen eyes
• More wrinkles and fine lines
• Pale and dull-looking skin

Moreover, lack of sleep increases cortisol production, which is also known as the stress hormone. This can lead to flare-ups in conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Sleep also enhances collagen production, which prevents your skin from sagging.

If you want to be able to say “I woke up like this” and never worry about the state of your skin, then create a healthy and cozy night routine. Get those 8 hours of sleep and wake up fresh and beautiful!

Taking care of your skin and keeping it healthy doesn’t have to cost you a small fortune. Follow these simple steps and enjoy your fresh skin!.
