Nurturing healthy skin through winter

As we enter colder months, our skin undergoes its own seasonal shift. The cooler, drier weather can strip our skin of its natural moisture, leading to dryness and sensitivity. However, with the right care and adjustments to your skincare routine, you can maintain radiant, healthy skin throughout the colder months.

Here are key strategies to keep your skin glowing as we embrace the cooler season.
During winter, the shift in climate and lifestyle requires a parallel shift in how we care for our health, particularly our immune system and our skin, which is an integral part of our immune defence. Understanding the interplay between these elements and incorporating natural aids like omega 3 fatty acids, activated phenolics, activated apple cider vinegar can keep you in top shape throughout the colder season.

Optimising Skin Health

The skin acts as a physical barrier against pathogens, and its health is vital in supporting overall immunity.

The Role of Nutrients:

Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been touted for its potential health benefits, including supporting the immune system. Its acidic nature can help balance the skin’s pH, making it less prone to infections. When ingested, ACV is believed to have prebiotic properties that may promote a healthy gut microbiome, an essential component of the immune system. However, it’s important to use ACV with caution, as its acidity can also irritate the skin and digestive tract if used improperly.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
These essential fats, found abundantly in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, are known for their anti-inflammatory properties which are crucial for managing the body’s immune response. Inflammation is a natural part of the immune system’s reaction to threats, but chronic inflammation can lead to a host of issues, undermining our health. Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain the skin’s lipid barrier, essential in hydration and protection against environmental stresses.

Activated Phenolics
Activated phenolics, a class of potent antioxidants found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are another cornerstone in the fortress of our summer health regimen. These powerful compounds help protect the body’s tissues from oxidative stress and inflammation, which can be exacerbated by increased sun exposure and outdoor activity during the summer months.

The role of activated phenolics extends to the immune system, where they contribute to the defence against pathogens by enhancing various immune functions. For skin health, they are particularly important; they help to defend against free radicals and repair damage caused by environmental pollutants. By ensuring a diet rich in these active compounds, we can support our body’s resilience to the stressors of winter, promoting a robust immune system and a vibrant, healthy complexion.

Skin care routine:

  1. Moisturise Generously
    The cornerstone of winter skincare is ample hydration. As humidity drops, your skin may begin to feel drier and tighter. Use moisturiser that contains hyaluronic acid which is powerful hydrator and help to reinforce your skin’s barrier. Don’t forget about your body’s skin, which can also suffer from dryness. Applying body lotion after showering to help lock in moisture.
  2. Gentle Cleansing
    While it may have been tempting to use stronger cleansers to combat summer sweat and oil, winter calls for a gentler approach. Opt for a hydrating cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils and maintaining skin’s pH.
  3. Hydration
    Keeping the skin hydrated with active moisturisers that restore skin health and staying hydrated can help maintain its integrity. Indoor environments can become particularly dry, exacerbating skin dryness. Using a humidifier in your home or office can help maintain a more skin-friendly level of humidity, keeping your skin hydrated. Internal hydration is just as important for your skin. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps to maintain your skin’s moisture balance and overall health. Incorporating foods with high water content, like cucumbers, tomatoes, and oranges, can also contribute to your daily hydration needs.

Renovatio Bioscience was founded by Dr Vincent in 2016 following his breakthrough discovery while undertaking antioxidant research at the University of Newcastle. He developed a laboratory technique to extract the world’s most potent antioxidants ‘activated phenolics’ from Australian apples and other produce using only water. His innovative work solved an issue, which had been perplexing scientists all over the world for nearly 80 years. Dr Vincent patented and translated his innovative work into a range of ‘turbo charged’ health and wellness products to help people access the world’s most potent antioxidants in an ‘easy to consume’ form.

The entire Renovatio range can be purchased online: www.renovatio.com.au
