Sunscreen

Okay, you probably saw that coming, but hear us out. There are more intriguing techniques later on, and just because something is popular doesn’t make it false. In fact, it has been heavily proven that UV rays and extended exposure from the sun account for 90% of all cases of skin cancer. It is well documented that the UV Rays from the sun cause the skin to age more rapidly as cells are severely damaged due to the UV Radiation, which leads to wrinkling, redness and blotchiness, and even damaged veins. 

 

Switching to Soft Water

Alright, let’s get into the meat of this issue. Did you know that more than 2/3 of U.S. households only get hard water from their taps? You would probably be surprised… if you knew what hard water was. Hard Water is a type of water high in heavy minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. Hard Water is also the reason for those spots and residue on your glasses and dishes that refuse to go away as you wash them. Those are heavy minerals that go through your house and onto your skin, every…time…you…wash…yourself. Some studies have even shown that hard water has links to dry and unhealthier skin and weaker more brittle hair follicles. To put it simply, every time you shower with hard water, you are actively damaging it, which may lead to hair loss or dandruff.

The Solution? The expensive solution is to install a water softening system into your water lines, which can cost you up to $2000!

You shouldn’t focus on softening all your water, but just when you use it most; We recommend getting a water softening shower head,(such as the Pure Oasis) which not only offers soft water filtration but also tends to your skin with a vitamin c filter built in to strengthen your skin and which uses ascorbic acid which can neutralize harmful chemicals and known skin irritants in your water such as chlorine.

Vitamin C

Your oranges, lemons, and limes actually provide a significant benefit to the health of your skin. Vitamin C’s most common form, ascorbic acid, provides antioxidant protection of the skin from damaging and harmful UV Rays. A lack of vitamin C can speed up or even cause the development of skin diseases like atopic dermatitis.

Vitamin C is mainly found in citrus fruits such as lemons and limes. 

Highly recommend trying out the Pure Oasis, a one of a kind vitamin c shower head that also softens your water.


Face Yoga

Face yoga is an emerging technique that is rapidly gaining virality because of how it can boost skin health. By performing specific exercises and stretches, face yoga can help to strengthen the muscles in the face, which can prevent sagging and improve skin elasticity. This can result in a more youthful and vibrant appearance. It also increases circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage, which can improve the overall health of the skin. Furthermore, regular face yoga practice may help to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. By using face yoga as a natural and non-invasive way to improve skin health, you can reduce their reliance on more invasive and chemically infused cosmetic procedures.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a natural and versatile plant that has been used for centuries that has been well-known to promote skin health. Its soothing and moisturizing properties make it a popular ingredient in skincare products, 

and it's used in its pure form to treat various skin conditions. Aloe vera contains antioxidants and vitamins that can help to protect and nourish the skin. It can also help to reduce inflammation, soothe sunburns and other irritations, and promote the healing of cuts and wounds. Aloe vera can be used on all skin types and is gentle enough for daily use. By incorporating aloe vera into their skincare routine, individuals can potentially improve the health and appearance of their skin in a natural way.
