We all covet silky smooth, nourished skin – and with warmer weather on the way, now is the perfect time to pump up your skincare routine for that naturally healthy glow.
From beauty-boosting superfoods to our favourite moisturiser of the moment, here are five easy ways to nourish your skin.
Soothe your skin
A great body moisturiser is key for keeping skin soft and smooth. We like the Palmolive Oil Infusions Body Moisturiser range because it’s non-greasy and absorbs quickly, but still leaves skin feeling nourished – and the light fragrance plus stylish apothecary bottle offers a little touch of added luxury.
“The fragrance was the nicest I’ve used in a scented body moisturiser – it’s not cloying or overpowering and it leaves a lasting scent,” says Chelsea from Auckland, who trialled the body moisturiser range.
“The non-greasy feeling is definitely a huge drawcard.”
Stay hydrated
The importance of drinking enough water every day is a no-brainer, but it bears repeating. When skin is hydrated, it looks plumper and fresher, so it’s important to make sure you’re getting a steady intake of water consistently throughout the day.
If you find the taste of plain water a little boring, try flavouring yours with natural fruit and herbs such as peach, lemon or mint to give it a little extra kick.
Snack smarter
Ever heard of the expression, ‘you are what you eat?’ When it comes to skin, what you eat can help give nourishment from the inside out.
Try to include a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet. These are full of antioxidants that help to protect skin from the damage caused by free radicals – for example, pumpkin, carrots and kumara are rich in beta-carotene, which can boost skin health, while avocados contain nutrients such as vitamins C and E and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Stay protected
Sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. Up your sun protection when out and about by sticking to shady areas, wearing sunglasses and a hat, and reapplying your sunscreen every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating it off.
Sweat it out
Regular exercise isn’t just good for your health, it may also benefit your skin.
Working up a good sweat increases circulation and the flow of nutrients to the skin, as well as helping to get rid of dirt and oil.
