Listen to your skin (and mind too)!
Still struggling with your skin concerns despite having a proper skincare regimen? If yes, it's time to look within! Did you know your emotions can affect your body? Skin, being the largest organ, is not an exception. The goosebumps you get when you are anxious or excited says it all. Your skin, body and mind are closely connected to each other. Well, now it makes sense why even the best skincare products won’t work when you are stressed. But here's a secret to healthy skin that glows from inside - a proper skin care combined with a healthy lifestyle!

Wondering how to get that healthy balance?We will help you!
Eliminate toxins
Did you know that your favourite dessert may have BHT, a lab-created chemical used to preserve freshness in foods? The same chemical is used to give that artificial fragrance to chemicals-based skincare products. What's more scary is the health risk they pose — from itchiness to cancer. Say a big no to these chemicals-based foods and skin care products, if you want a healthy skin (and a healthy you).
Reduce stress
Some days are hard. We get that. But do you know that stress could have adverse effects on your body, including your skin? Cortisol, the stress hormone, is proven to cause inflammation of the skin. It can even weaken your skin barrier, the outermost layer of your skin. And the worst part? A weak skin barrier can give you dry, itchy and rough skin. But relax! Here's the happy news. Calming techniques like meditation are proven to decrease oxidative stress or ageing of skin. So don't let stress take over your healthy skin glow anymore! Start your mind care and boost it up with goodness of natural skincare products.
Get that high-quality sleep
Did you know that 8 hours of beauty sleep is not just a 'beauty' sleep? Long hours of sleep help the cells repair and regrow. Thinking of taking a nap to compensate for that sleepless night? Sadly, it doesn't work like that. Your body needs continuous long hours of sleep to work on your damaged cells. So each time you compromise on proper sleep, you are doing it at the cost of your health. Start your body care with a proper sleep routine. Let your body rest and you will see it doing wonders.
A balanced diet is the key
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away". We all know this. But ever wondered how? It has plenty of vitamins. From building the immune system to repairing skin cells, the apple offers many health benefits. Lack of essential vitamins can result in poor wound healing of the skin. So hurry! Include healthy foods such as leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet to get your healthy skin glow from within.
Remember to take that sip of water
Do you find that even the best of brands do not help you out on dry skin? Maybe it's time to care for your skin from within. Dry skin is your body's way of letting you know that it’s thirsty. Don’t let your skin and body feel dehydrated. Drink enough water and keep your skin hydrated all day. And here’s a little secret. A natural skincare regimen and good water intake can be your one-time magic solution to healthier and softer skin.
You want sunlight too!
Why sunlight, you might be wondering. Because it’s the best way of getting your natural dose of that sunshine vitamin (yes, vitamin D). Did you know that deficiency of vitamin D can increase the chances of dryness, acne and skin infections in general? Getting the balance between sun exposure and sun protection is very important to maintain a healthy skin. Those first rays of sun can help you with vitamin D. But going out in the scorching heat at noon to get that sunshine vitamin will do more harm than good. Yes, we know how dangerous UV rays can be. No worries! Adding a natural sunscreen to your skincare regimen will help you care for your skin.
Alcohol or no alcohol? It depends on you.
Did you know using alcohol-based skincare products can leave your skin dry and rough? Saying no to alcohol-based skincare products is the first step towards a proper skincare regimen. But is intake of alcohol really bad for your body? It all depends on the amount of alcohol consumed. Drinking smaller quantities of alcohol has its own health benefits such as reduced rate of heart failure. (PS: It depends on your individual body type and health concerns. Be careful about deciding the ‘right’ amount for you). Anything excess can prove harmful for your body. Drinking excess alcohol will not only lead to major health concerns, but can also leave your skin dehydrated. So, knowing your body is essential for that perfect body care and skincare.
Connect with community
Sometimes certain skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema can lead to low self-esteem and even depression. That is why connecting with a community of people with similar concerns becomes important. It will help you have a deeper and realistic understanding of your condition and help you deal with it in a better way. And relax! You can always get it under control, with help of a dermatologist and a proper skincare routine.
Skincare goes hand in hand with proper body care and mind care. Now we know how important that mind-skin connection is. If you want that glow from within, take care of your mind, give your body the essentials, and pamper your skin with 100% natural skincare products. A proper skincare routine is as essential as a good diet or beauty sleep. So, be kind to your skin (and to yourself) by choosing all-natural brands that can give your skin that natural glow. Be ‘skintelligent’ and get your hands on the right brands such as TheUnbottleCo.
