It strengthens the strands and roots of your hair and prevents them from split-ends and hair fall.
Another essential advantage of almond oil is that it is widely used as a cleanser. It absorbs all the particulates and dusts if applied before bath. As you washed your face, the oil washed all the unwanted dusts and particulates.
How to use Almond Oil on hair:
Almond oil can be applied a lot of different ways. Take some amount of oil in your hand and apply in the scalp of your hair using your fingers, then properly cover your hair with a towel or plastic wrap. Give at least 6 to 8 hours to your hair so that it absorbs the oil completely. Use shampoo and thoroughly rinse the oil. If you want flexible and shiny hair do this procedure twice or thrice a week.

Apply two to three drops of almond oil on the skin and you have the best facial treatment at home without spending too much money. The oil contains oleic acid that protects your skin from dirt and dust. If use regularly, it will make your skin radiant and soft.

Sun Awareness Week – stay safe in the sun
Prevent sun burn and skin damage this summer with this need-to-know guide
Get sun savvy and learn more about staying protected from the sun’s damaging rays with this expert advice from LloydsPharmacy Pharmacist, Anshu Bhimbat.
How much sun cream should I apply?
If you don’t use enough sun lotion you can be at risk of burning, but equally, applying the sunscreen to the same area twice won’t double the protection. Make sure you use an amount equivalent to the size of a golf ball (or six teaspoons) to cover your entire body. A 200ml bottle has enough for around six adult applications so try and use accordingly.
Which sun protection is right for me?
With so many products on the shelf, picking the right one can feel a bit overwhelming. We all know about the potential damage that can be caused by not protecting your skin adequately, but different skin types have different needs. LloydsPharmacy is here to help you pick the right sun protection for your needs.
- Very pale skin, freckles, blue eyes and blonde or red hair – requires SPF 50+
- Fair skin, blonde or red hair and blue, green or hazel eyes – requires SPF 50 or SPF 30
- Fair to medium skin and skin that tans quite well but sometimes burns – SPF 30
- Olive or Mediterranean skin, brown or dark brown hair and brown eyes – SPF 30 or minimum SPF 15
- Naturally brown skin, brown or dark hair and brown eyes – SPF 15
- Very dark skin, black hair, dark brown eyes – SPF 15
How should I protect my child from sunburn?
Children’s skin is more delicate and sensitive to UV damage, so try to prevent sunburn. To protect your child’s skin, we recommend using an SPF 50 or more, and never below SPF 30. If your little one is in and out of the pool, make sure to reapply after each towel dry, while many sun lotions are water resistant they are not friction resistant and can rub off when drying.
Why doesn’t lying under a sun umbrella protect your skin?
Although being under a sun umbrella is better for your skin than being directly in the sun, it won’t completely protect you from damaging UV rays. Whilst spending time in the shade will keep you out of reach of UV-A rays, UV-B rays can reach the skin indirectly so you may still be at risk. To avoid UBV-B rays, you need to find a shaded area where you are unable to see the sky so none of these harmful rays can penetrate, or opt for sun care with UV-B protection.
Anshu’s top tips for safe sun protection:
- If you have a history of sun damage or skin cancer, always wear the highest sun protection factor and seek shade where possible.
- Apply half an hour before going outside, and again shortly after to ensure the sunscreen is fully absorbed.
- Use an amount equivalent to the size of a golf ball or 6 teaspoons to cover your entire body.
- Reapply sun cream a minimum of every two hours.
- Dehydrated skin is more prone to sun damage, so drink plenty of water.
- Water-resistant sunscreens are not friction-resistant, so reapply after towel drying or sweating.
10 new myths that we hear a lot
But one fact to remember is to not let sunburn catch you out, because too much UV from the sun (or sunbeds) causes most cases of skin cancer. This might feel like old news, but rates of melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer) are still increasing.
By dodging these myths, we can all do our best to protect ourselves when the sun is strong.
Myth 1: ‘The sun is strongest when it’s hottest’
The heat of the sun doesn’t come from its skin-damaging UV rays. The UV rays are always strongest when the sun is highest in the sky, which in the UK summer is between 11am and 3pm (it can be different abroad). But the temperature varies more and tends to be highest slightly later. So if you want to get out and enjoy the nice weather later in the day when it’s still warm, the risk of burning won’t be as high.
Myth 2: ‘You can only burn in the middle of summer’
The sun can be strong enough to burn in the UK from the start of April to the end of September, even if it doesn’t feel that warm, or it’s a cloudy day. The UV Index can tell you how strong the sun is where you are today, you can find it on weather forecasts and the met office website. If the UV index is 3 or above think about protecting your skin. And take extra care if you get sunburnt easily or have a lighter skin tone.
Myth 3: ‘Sun damage always looks red and peely’
Not necessarily. If your skin’s gone red or pink in the sun, that’s sunburn, and it’s dangerous due to the damage the UV rays cause to DNA inside cells. If your skin goes pink but then a tan develops that still counts as having burnt.
But you can’t always see the damage. For people with naturally darker skin it might just feel irritated, tender or itchy rather than your skin changing colour.
Myth 4: ‘The odd sunburn doesn’t make much difference’
Getting sunburnt doesn’t mean you will definitely develop skin cancer. But sunburn just once every 2 years can triple the risk of melanoma. So if you have had sunburn in the past, it’s a good idea to think about what more you can do to protect your skin next time.
Myth 5: ‘Higher SPF sunscreens are lots better than lower SPF ones’
No sunscreen is 100% effective and as SPF increases, sunscreens provide less and less extra protection. SPF15 should be high enough wherever you are in the world, if it’s used properly. Higher SPFs don’t add much in terms of protection and might encourage you to spend longer in the sun inadvertently leading to more damage. Sunscreens with SPF lower than 15 aren’t recommended, and also make sure sunscreen has 4 stars or more, for UVA protection.
Myth 6: ‘A ‘base tan’ will protect me on holiday’
Some people think a pre-holiday tan or sunbed tans will protect them from burning, but a tan offers very little protection against the sun. Some studies have found that tans only offer protection equivalent to using factor 3 sunscreen. And tans from sunbeds could be as low as SPF 1.
Myth 7: ‘Putting sunscreen on once is enough’
It’s not. Even if it says once-a-day on the label, all sunscreens should be re-applied regularly. Some products rub, wash or sweat off more easily than others. But it’s also really easy to miss bits of your body so don’t be shy with it, put plenty on. The best way to use sunscreen is to think of it as the last line of defence for the parts of your body you can’t cover up with clothes.
Myth 8: ‘Sunbeds are a safer way to tan’
This myth is a persistent one. But the evidence is clear, sunbeds cause skin cancer and there’s no such thing as a safe tan. A tan is a sign that your body is trying to repair the damage caused by UV rays. That’s why we want to see more people embracing their natural skin colour through our Own Your Tone campaign.
Myth 9: ‘Sunscreen lasts forever’
We’ve probably all turned to that old bottle of sunscreen at the back of the cupboard that’s been there for an unknown number of years. But most sunscreens expire. Look out for a small open jar icon on the bottle with the number of months the product can be used after opening. And like most cosmetics, sunscreens should be stored in a cool place and not in direct sunlight.
Fear not though. You don’t need to worry about the cost of replacing expensive sunscreens. When it comes to protection, price doesn’t matter it’s the SPF and star rating that does.
Myth 10: ‘You can’t get sun damage through glass’
Indoors you’re mostly protected from sunburn, but some UV rays can get through glass. So if you spend lots of time driving or sitting in a conservatory when the sun is strong, then long-term you might be at risk of damage from UVA rays. If you’re stuck by the window, protect your skin with clothes and sunscreen with 4 or more stars.

Stop! Don't Open Things With Your Teeth!
Thursday, January 7, 2016
Before you rip a piece of tape with your teeth, or use your pearly whites to pry the lid off a bottle, think about the possible consequences of your actions. Using your teeth as a tool (other than for chewing) can result in a very negative effect. In the worst case scenario, using your teeth for any purpose other than for what they are intended can cause them to chip, crack or even break.
A human's teeth is meant for one thing: chewing. Teeth are definitely not meant to be used as scissors or pliers. Unfortunately, it can be very tempting to use your teeth as a tool other than for chewing because they are convenient and they can often get the job done quickly. But don't let this practice become a habit. The more you use your teeth as a tool for cutting, ripping and opening various tough objects, the greater your chance of causing permanent damage.
Take time to Look for the Scissors!
It might take a few extra minutes to search a pair of scissors, but the extra time spent is well worthwhile. When you use your teeth to rip or tear objects such as thick tape, string, tags, plastic, or food containers, your teeth can easily sustain serious damage. The amount of time, effort and money you will spend repairing the damage is hardly worth the extra few minutes it would have taken to find an appropriate tool to complete the task appropriately.
Even if you've been pulling lids off bottles with your teeth for many decades, there is no reason to continue this potentially damaging habit. If this is a regular practice for you, it's possible that your teeth have already developed grooves, chips or cracks.
How are damaged teeth repaired?
If your teeth are damaged because you persistently use them as a replacement for scissors, pliers, a hammer, or any other type of tool, your dentist might recommend any of the following:
- Dental crowns
- Dental veneers
- Dental Implants (if the broken teeth cannot be saved)
It's Tempting to Use Your Teeth... But Resist the Urge!
It can be very frustrating to be presented with a package that will not open easily, a tag on a piece of clothing that will not rip easily with your hands, or a nut or seed with a hard shell that won't crack open with your fingernail. Your instinct might be to place those items in your mouth and use your teeth to quickly solve your problem. When these situations arise, remember that a broken tooth can be painful. And repairing or replacing a broken tooth can be time consuming and expensive.
What to do if You Have a Broken Tooth
If you have one or more broken teeth as a result of using your teeth as a tool other than for chewing food or gum, make sure to schedule an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Having the broken teeth evaluated early might prevent further damage. If you do not have a regular dentist or you do not have dental insurance, contact a discount dental plan as soon as possible. A membership in an affordable discount dental plan can help you save a significant amount of money on many types of dental services.

ABOUT THIS BRANDWhen her brother handed her a one-way ticket to Kauai for her 21st birthday, Leah Klasovsky knew it was the perfect place to relax and reset her body, mind, and spirit. What she didnÕt know was that Hawaii would offer her a fresh start, opening her eyes and heart to a world of beauty and possibility she had never imagined for herself. On the night she arrived, the island air wrapped her in a tropical, balmy hug. The morning light revealed lush mountain terrain, exotic wildlife, and blooming flora. She instantly felt that this new home was her healing sanctuary, and she decided to stay. LeahÕs path to creating Leahlani was paved with physical breakdowns and spiritual breakthroughs, but it was her instinctive decision to enroll in a holistic Esthetics program on Maui that gave her the foundational training she needed to bottle her passion and create a name for herself. A lavish nourishing and illuminating face mask for plumped, supple skin with a mega-watt glow. Brimming with enzymes from fragrant tropical fruits, nutrient-dense beauty oils, moisturizing hyaluronic acid, and stimulating clays, this creamy nectar infusion works on a molecular level to nourish and strengthen your skin.
A long time favorite
Getting the Meli Glow mask in the monthly box was such a bonus for me since I have repurchased this mask many times. I have used it for years. My skin is dry but also needs light exfoliation. Using this mask is a sensory experience that also leaves my skin smoother and plumper. it feels gentle but effective for my skin type.
Didn't work for me
I love Leahlani, but this mask made my sensitive skin red, blotchy, and irritated for at least a couple hours. It's also a little too goopy for me, and even a thin layer led to drippage on my clothing.
Nice scent, which I don't mind in a wash off product. The mask is thin and easy to apply, plus my skin does look plump and happier after use. Will happily use it up, but like 99% of the thing I recieve
Amazing very impressed
I feel super pampered after using this mask. My skin is left smoothed and soft everytime. Love the smell and texture. Will purchase again.
Probably the main draw to Leahlani products are all the wonderful tropical scents in the products. Not always sure whether I would prefer to put them on my face, or eat them. I find this product modestly effective. It does leave the skin feeling more hydrated, although I find I get best results mixing it with the Mermaid mask and using both at once. This mask is very runny (from the honey) so it needs to be applied in a thin layer so it doesn't drip off everywhere. I'm happy that Beauty Heroes is carrying Leahlani now, but I hope they add the Garden Isle body oil, because I think the lush tropical scents would be even more compelling in body products.

The story of my knees begins when I was 12 years old. I had played sports for my entire youth and started Martial Arts around the same time. I began developing knee pain and was told by several doctors not to pursue Martial Arts. Of course I didn’t listen and have now been practicing for forty years. In my early 40’s (I’m 52 now) my knee pain and mobility had begun to worsen.
Improving my flexibility and range of motion of my hips has helped. But in the past two years I had a few bad falls skateboarding which compromised the integrity of my knees. I also had two severe MCL sprains and dislocation. So when one of my students told me about the “Knees over toes” program I immediately looked into it. After diving deep down that rabbit hole I realized it was worth a shot. I signed up for the program (it’s $50 / month). You sign up for the program online and it works through an app you download. The app provides you with a daily workout that requires no real equipment or even a lot of space. I only bought a slant board for $30 on Amazon. Other than that… it was all I really needed.
The exercises work great if you are starting with limited mobility. The best part of the program is that you have your own coach. Your personal coach is available through a message program in the app. You can send them videos of your form (also in the app). My coach has always responded within 24 hours and often times that day. We have even texted in real time. The ability to have an actual coach makes the program really stand out for me. The small tweaks in form they provide and coaching is essential. The program itself is pretty amazing because it allows you to add strength in ways that were impossible for me in the past. I was definitely thinking there had to be some kind of upgrade or up sell… there’s not. The program is $50 / month and there’s no other fees. You follow the program 5 days per week with weekends off.
If you are consistent and follow it to the “T’ it really works! Like anything you have to do the work. Some of the exercises were tougher than others… and some I thought I would never do. But little by little I am doing them all with phenomenal results. One of the most interesting parts of the program (which I have grown to love) is the daily 10 minutes walking backwards. This alone will change your life! Backwards walking may look strange but it works. You have no strain on the knees but get all the benefits of mobility and strength building. If you could take anything away from this post: START WALKING BACKWARDS TODAY!
Results: Over the past two years the only real exercise I have been able to do is upper body and Jiu-Jitsu training. The BJJ training allows me to work around my knees to a certain degree, but I have had issues with pain management post training. It is also worth noting that I have worn knee braces for my ENTIRE life. (I had even switched to the Bauerfeind $200 high level knee braces for extra support) After four months in the program I am now able to go 100% KNEE BRACE FREE! Even when I am grappling, playing basketball, climbing stairs, holding twin babies LOL…. I’ve never been without knee braces. I give this program my highest recommendation – It’s not just game changing …it’s truly life changing! The Knees over toes YouTube channel and Instagram page have a ton of free content. Dive into it and see what you think! https://www.youtube.com/c/TheKneesovertoesguy

What You'll Get
Maintaining healthy skin can help project a professional image more easily than sewing a three-piece suit from business cards. Finesse your façade with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a 75-minute citrus body polish or a brown-sugar scrub (an $80 value) with a head, scalp, and foot massage (a $15 value), a rejuvenating eye treatment (a $5 value), hot towel, and aromatherapy at Touch of Tranquility in High Point (a $100 value).
Touch of Tranquility pampers and softens epidermal coverings with relaxing, exfoliating body scrubs administered in tandem with a smorgasbord of surface-soothing services. During the 75-minute citrus body polish, experienced massage therapists administer a thorough scrubdown to clients' bodies using exfoliating products that fuse apricot-seed powder and herbal components to refine skin without having to send it off to a finishing school. The brown-sugar scrub, alternatively, sloughs away extraneous skin cells via a blend of seed oils and pure brown sugar, infusing newly unveiled layers with a dose of skin-silkening nutrients. Throughout the body-beautifying process, massage therapists coax stresses out of muscles by massaging hands, kneading feet, and stroking scalps as an on-staff orca hums tranquil ocean sounds. The pamperfest concludes with a refreshing eye treatment augmented by an invigorating hot towel and nostril-delighting aromatherapy.

Have Acne? Get Collagen
For anyone dealing with acne, especially adult acne it can be discouraging at times. Having your face and sometimes other parts of your body covered in acne feels terrible. Not only does it physically hurt sometimes, but it hurts your self esteem and self image and makes you just feel yucky. I know, I have dealt with it myself, that is until I started drinking bone broth regularly.
The funny thing is that I started using bone broth to heal my digestive system and also knew that it would be highly beneficial for my joints, but there was one other effect that I was not expecting and that was healthy glowing skin. You see bone broth is chock full of collagen, and collagen is what makes your skin healthy and happy. I noticed it after drinking a cup of bone broth every day for about a month, I wasn't breaking out anymore. Or if I did it was just right before my period and was very mild compared to how it used to be. I would get maybe one or two small blemishes and they would subside rather quickly.
I have been drinking bone broth daily now for just over a year and my skin has never looked better I swear. It feels good and looks healthy and glowing. I am 37 years old and look 15 years younger. Not that I ever have looked my age, people have always thought I was younger than I am, but now my skin is following in those footsteps. So for anyone with acne, in this case, adult acne, I would highly recommend trying to add collagen into your daily routine somehow. You can do it through bone broth like I have, but there are other options as well if that doesn't sound appealing. There are supplements you can get, collagen protein powders, and more. So do your research and find a form that feels right for you to try and see what results you get. It doesn't hurt to try.
Collagen isn't just for your skin either, as I mentioned it's beneficial for your digestive system and joints. It's also good for your bones, hair, nails, all connective tissues, and all organs. It's a win win for you and your body. Blessings all.

How do you feel about cold medications? Do you start popping tablets at the first sign of a sniffle, or do you try and avoid taking them all together?
I remember sitting with my husband, at the time my boyfriend, in our apartment, watching this news expose on cold tablets. Feels like it was last month, but I’m doing the math and it was more like fifteen years ago. At the time cold tablets were still a relatively new product, or at least that’s what my foggy memories tell me. The news show we were watching claimed that taking cold tablets would alleviate your symptoms but actually lengthen the duration of your cold. I don’t remember the details, as I mentioned it was many years back, but it must have sounded pretty convincing because watching it persuaded me to give up cold tablets.
Hubby felt differently. He was, and still is, hugely in favour of taking cold meds. He explained his rationalization to me, he’d rather feel crummy for a few days then feel absolutely unbearably miserable for a slightly shorter time period. So we keep cold tablets on hand, for the numerous inevitable colds my immunosuppressed husband comes down with and he starts taking cold medication at the first sign of symptoms. I, on the other hand, normally try and tough it out. Telling myself I’ll get it over with quicker if I just hold strong. I have to be feeling really amazingly lousy before I start taking cold medication. Or at least that’s how things used to be, up until a few months ago.
See back in October I started using a CPAP machine to treat my sleep apnea. This means I wear a mask over my nose, which pushes air at me at a certain pressure, helping me to keep breathing evenly all night long. It’s an improvement over the whole stopping breathing, gasping and snoring, thing, which is what was happening in my sleep prior to my using this machine.
When I first got my CPAP machine, the folks at the medical centre where I picked up the machine reiterated the same thing the specialist had told me, you absolutely must use the machine every time you sleep. They said it over and over, and emphasized it quite a bit. Every night, must use machine, Naps, must use machine. If you ever have to be sedated for an operation, bring your machine. Use it every time you sleep. Really. We mean it.
The thing is, the mask for my sleep machine only covers my nose, which means breathing through my nose, and not my mouth, is key. In fact if I do try and breathe through my mouth, while having the full pressure from the CPAP machine blow at my nose, I gasp and choke. So what happens if you are stuffed up and can’t breathe through your nose? Well then you are pretty much out of luck, you either need to sleep without your machine, or use a full face mask. (They do offer full face masks, where mouth breathing is an option. I may get one at some point, as a back-up for when I am sick and my sinuses are blocked,)
Or wait, maybe there’s a third option. How about taking some cold medication?
The first time I came down with a cold and I had to wear my CPAP machine I panicked. I tried to use the darn thing, but I found myself choking on phlegm. I ended up having to sleep without it, which didn’t exactly go well. To heck with this whole toughing it out thing, when I am sick I need to sleep and to sleep I need to breathe. Given that I’ve been holding out and not taking cold medication based on something I watched on TV fifteen or more years ago, I started wondering how accurate my reasoning was. So I started searching around with Google and reading articles on the effectiveness of cold medications, looking at studies they’ve done to see if taking tablets helps shorten (or prolong) colds.

image source: pexelsMeta: If you’re having difficulty conceiving, use an ovulation predictor kit to find your fertile days. Learn how these kits work to find the best ovulation kit. For many couples, getting pregnant isn’t always a case of having sex and letting nature take its course. Couples who are having a hard time getting pregnant can thank modern medicine for a home test that helps women find out when they will ovulate and increase their chances of getting pregnant. If you need help with having a family, this review can help you find the best ovulation kit for your needs.
How do Ovulation Predictor Kits Work?If you want to have a baby, but you’re having issues with getting pregnant, then an ovulation predictor kit may be able to help you. A predictor kit tests the hormone levels in urine, so you can find out if you’re about to start ovulating. A woman is the most fertile around the time she ovulates, which is why these tests can help couples conceive when they are struggling to have a family.
1. How Do These Products Work?An ovulation predictor kit, or OPK, measures the levels of the LH hormone in urine. Luteinizing Hormone, or LH, is found in the anterior pituitary gland of both women and men, and it helps to control the reproductive systems in both sexes. In women, it stimulates the ovaries to release an egg, or ovulate. If a woman becomes pregnant, it also stimulates the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to help sustain the pregnancy. A high level of LH in the urine, known as the LH surge, comes about two days before ovulation. A woman is most fertile 12 to 36 hours between the LH surge and releasing an egg.
2. What Is the OPK Test Effectiveness?While each OPK will have instructions on the best way to collect urine to take the test. The best time to take an OPK test is between 10 am to 8 pm, when the LH hormone is at its highest levels in urine. It takes about four hours after getting up for the day for the hormone to show up in urine.
3. What Else Should I Know?Also, drinking too much water, or other liquids can interfere with the effectiveness of the test because it may not detect an accurate level of the hormone. The test may not be effective for women who have recently been pregnant, take certain fertility drugs, or who have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Reading this review about ovulation prediction kits may be helpful if you’re thinking about using them to help increase your chances of having a baby.
How We ReviewedWe did some research on OPKs and read about the different ones that are available, as well as their manufacturers. As we were researching them, we also read the testimonials from women who tried them.

They are 99 percent accurate for detecting an LH surge and pregnancy, and they can detect HCG levels as low as 25 miU/ml. It is better to test HCG levels first thing in the morning when they’re at the highest level during the day. To test LH levels, wait until about 10 or 11 in the morning to take a test. LH levels are at their highest from around 10 am to early evening. It is important to note that the package has two dates on it. The earlier date is the production date for the test strips, and the last one is the expiration date. When you’re ready to take the test, collect some urine in a container, and then dip the test strip into it for about five to 10 seconds. Then, lay the strip on a flat surface and read it after five minutes. Try not to let it go past five minutes before reading the result. The instruction insert should tell you how to read the results.

The VerdictWhen you’re shopping for an ovulation test kit, consider the type of test that you want. You can get a digital test, test strips, or paper strips are also available. All the tests work. Similarly, they must go into a urine stream, or you’ll need to collect urine to dip the strip, so the main difference between the kits may be their budget. While most of the tests are similar in terms of supplies and use, selecting any of the OPKs should provide information on whether you’re about to ovulate or if you’re pregnant. However, the best seems to be the PREGMATE OPK kit. By using a PREGMATE kit, mothers-to-be can track their cycles to figure out when to conceive and start their families.

Sensitive skin can be hard to manage, especially when it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing the skin sensitivity. It could be a part of your genetic skin type, or maybe it results from damage from your environment or skincare products. Whatever your cause, we're going to lay down just how to repair and nourish your sensitive skin by implementing a science-backed skincare routine. In most cases, sensitive skin is on the drier side. However, if you have sensitive, oily skin, you can check out our article here.
What is Sensitive Skin?
There are many different types of sensitive skin, each with its own array of potential causes. Some skin sensitivities, like eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea, are genetic. These skin disorders are generally not curable but are treatable with an effective skincare routine. Non-genetic types of sensitive skin are typically caused by damage to the skin barrier. In these cases, we're looking at overly dry skin that has suffered barrier damage from excessive exposure to environmental factors such as sun, wind, heat or cold. The use of harsh chemicals or rough handling of your skin could also lead to a damaged barrier, causing increased sensitivity.
What is a skin barrier, and why is it important?
You should think of your skin barrier as your natural protection against the elements. Your stratum corneum, or outer layer of skin, is made up of tough skin cells known as corneocytes, which are bound together to keep moisture in and bacteria out. This barrier is essential for keeping you hydrated. However, a damaged barrier will struggle to function correctly, leaving skin susceptible to bacteria, pollutants and dehydration.
What might damage my skin barrier?
Many things can damage your skin barrier, both externally from your environment and internally. External factors include prolonged exposure to an environment that’s too humid or too dry, irritants or pollutants, excessive sun exposure, using skincare products that contain drying alcohols or harsh chemicals, or over-exfoliating your face. Internal factors can include not drinking enough water, high-stress levels and genetic factors.
How do I know if my barrier is damaged?
If your skin barrier is damaged, your skin might feel overly dry or “tight”, especially first thing in the morning. You may also experience breakouts, enlarged pores, redness, itching, peeling, flaking or other uncomfortable symptoms. Fortunately, these symptoms can be relieved by implementing a good skincare routine, and over time, your skin will become less sensitive.
How to Treat Sensitive Skin?
First and foremost: it’s essential to be gentle with your sensitive skin, both with the products and methods you use when treating it. Your damaged barrier is already struggling to function, so the use of abrasive scrubbing tools or harsh chemicals will cause further damage. So, you should take a look at your skincare routine and remove any products that may cause irritation or have a drying effect.
What Not to Do
1. Don’t scrub or over-exfoliate
When our skin is rough, dry, or textured, it can be tempting to over-exfoliate to remove the “dead skin”. However, this actually has the opposite effect to what we want. By removing the dead outer layer, we’re making way for new cells to come through. But, these new cells won’t be any more hydrated than the old cells. Exfoliation is just a temporary fix. What we really need to do is treat the cause of dry, flaky, textured skin. This involves hydrating and healing the damaged skin barrier.
2. Don’t wear heavy makeup
It’s not recommended to wear makeup when you have a damaged barrier. However, if you do, it's vital that you remove all traces at the end of the day to allow your skin time to breathe and repair. Keep in mind that you need to be gentle when removing makeup. Some makeup remover tools can be highly abrasive on your skin, so it's best to use your cleanser or a gentle microfibre cloth designed for sensitive skin, like FACEPAL TOUCH. Facepal has been scientifically researched and dermatologically developed for sensitive skin types. The reduced friction fibres gently reach into pores to remove pollution, congestion and makeup without abrasiveness or irritation. You should always follow up cleansing with hydrating products to fortify your skin barrier.
What You Need in Your Sensitive Skin Routine
You will need to fortify your damaged skin barrier by introducing extremely hydrating products into your skincare routine. By refining your skincare routine to suit your skin's exact needs, you will be able to repair your damaged barrier and thus heal your sensitive skin concerns. You will need to use two types of moisturising ingredients to achieve this: humectants and ceramides. Humectants are ingredients that continuously draw moisture into your skin and retain it there. However, humectants can't do it all on their own. They need ceramides to help seal in and retain the moisture in your skin for extended periods of time. Ceramides are essential for fortifying and conditioning your skin barrier and overall improving barrier function and moisture retention. You can implement products with these necessary ingredients at every step of your skincare routine. Here’s what we recommend for your sensitive skin routine.
1. A Hydrating Face Cleanser
"Hydrating" isn't exactly the first word people think of when it comes to face cleanser, but when it comes to sensitive skin, it should be! We primarily rely on our face cleansers to remove impurities, but what if we could add in some of the good stuff simultaneously? That's precisely what H4O™ Resolve HD does! H4O™ is a gentle, non-foaming cleanser ideal for stressed, sensitive skin types. The unique H4O is a deionised water compound with a high level of oxygen. This allows water to penetrate dirt and pollutants without foaming agents, which are not ideal for dry or sensitive skin. H4O™ Resolve HD also contains blue tansy, an incredibly soothing ingredient with antioxidant properties. The blue tansy calms irritated, sensitive skin, reducing redness and inflammation and stress on the barrier.
2. A Humectant to Draw Moisture into the Skin
As mentioned above, humectants are essential to repairing a damaged skin barrier and treating sensitive skin concerns. One of the best humectants for skin hydration is Hyaluronic Acid, which is a complex found naturally in your skin for collagen maintenance and to support your barrier function. However, common hyaluronic acid products on the market have large molecular sizes that are not easily absorbed by your deeper skin layers. In order to achieve increased hydration and skin rejuvenation, it's important to apply a hyaluronic acid serum that is formulated at a similar molecular size to that which is naturally found in our skin. The DERMATOLOGY SCIENCE FORMULA MOLECULAR HYALURONIC ACID HYDRATOR features a combination of multiple molecular sizes of natural hyaluronic acid to fortify your skin barrier by offering multi-dimensional hydration.
3. A Replenishing Moisturiser to Fortify the Skin Barrier
We previously mentioned that humectants need to be followed up with ceramides, and we really want to drive that home! Whilst humectants will draw moisture into the dermis (middle layer of skin), it can quickly be lost if not sealed in properly. Ceramides absorb into the epidermis (outer skin layer) to lock in moisture, so they are best applied immediately after your hyaluronic acid to avoid moisture loss. For a moisturiser designed to deliver barrier building properties and improve damaged, sensitive skin, try ACTIVITA® VITAL CREAM. Formulated using molecular science, the VITAL Cream infuses damaged, sensitive skin cells with much-needed hydration. The micro molecular formula is easily absorbed into your skin, making it perfect for healing a damaged skin barrier.
4. A Deep Conditioning Mask to Boost Hydration
Along with hydrating, it's essential to deeply condition your sensitive skin one to two times per week. A hydrating mask is necessary for giving your skin the extra moisture it needs, which will allow your sensitive, damaged barrier to heal and improve over time. Not all face masks are created equal, though. To properly improve your barrier function, a good hydrating mask should include functional, active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and Vitamin E. Look for a mask that contains no alcohol, like ACTIVITA BE ACTIVE CONDITIONING MASQUE SKINCARE FACE MASK. This mask has a beautiful light texture that easily soaks into your skin to rapidly hydrate in as little as a minute. The formula consists of a combination of essential vitamins designed to provide instant relief for stressed, sensitive skin. These vitamins condition your skin to adapt to the skin environment, resulting in a more effective barrier function.

No more sleepless beauty rest with this DIY acne-busting serum!
Let me tell you about the day I first used Aloe Vera gel: I bought a bottle of Aloe Vera Gel, used it on my face, and never stopped loving it ever again.
I used it right around the same time my skin decided to go rogue on me. I figured there could be no harm in using an all-natural product on my face. And boy (girl), was I right.
I only knew it as a remedy for sunburn, and I knew it worked by calming and moisturizing the skin. Apparently it does a whole lot more than that: Aloe Vera Gel reduces the sight of pores, keeps your face matte and balances oily skin.
A few weeks ago, I decided to make an improved version of my favourite serum, and I’m loving the result!
What you need:
- Aloe Vera Gel
- Your skin’s favourite essential oil(s)
1. Prep your tools
If you’re using a used up serum container, push the pump mechanism all the way down again. Clean it out real, real good. I like to use this, because with every pump you get the exact right amount of gel.
2. Squeeze in your Aloe Vera Gel
Ah, Aloe Vera. It quenches your skin’s thirst, and at the same time it keeps it nice and balanced.
3. Add your special Ingredients
I added 6 drops of lavender essential oil to mine.
Another lovely acne-fighting essential oil is Tea Tree. It works great for oily, acne-prone skin, but Lavender just smells better than Tea Tree. It’s like France on your face.
Lavender is also known to calm and relax everyone who smells it, so this makes the perfect night time moisturizer. I use it after I cleansed my face, right before I go to bed.

Like many college girls, I went through kind of a hippie phase back in the day. I tried the “no ‘poo” thing (‘poo=shampoo, this has nothing to do with bowel movements). It was gross; my scalp did not, as I was told it would, “compensate” and produce any less oil, so I used the baking soda wash more often than I was supposed to, and my hair actually suffered a lot of damage. I respect people who use and like this technique, but now that I know more about the actual science of skincare and beauty products, I have some serious concerns about the effects of the extremely alkaline baking soda on the acid mantle of the scalp. I suspect this may have been the main cause of my chagrin; my skin reacts much better when kept within its healthy pH range. The suggested vinegar rinse didn’t help my skin recover as quickly as it does for a lot of people.
I also experimented with the oil cleansing method, which I still like and use, although I modify the method that circulates the internet most frequently. My skin cannot handle castor oil (it seems to dry it out) and I also like to add an emulsifier to make the oil easier to clean off.
The point is, if there’s some kind of “natural” alternative, I have probably tried it. Most of them, like oil cleansing, and the sulfate-free shampoos I stumbled across after my failed no ‘poo attempt, are perfectly great alternatives if you are truly striving to live a greener, cleaner life. I’m not here to tell you that you should be using dish soap to wash your hair or slather your skin in a $500 face cream when your bottle of sunflower oil works great. I am, however, here to tell you that some of your concerns are misguided. The internet has lied to you. I know, it hurts; I’ve been there.
So, here are some internet myths that I will attempt to either debunk, or explain with a fuller picture.
- Myth one: mineral oil and petroleum jelly are toxic and will give you cancer and (gasp!) acne and will destroy everything on the planet. The truth: mineral oil and petroleum jelly (Vaseline) are both completely non-comedogenic. The molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, thereby making it impossible to either clog pores or create acne. Additionally, mineral oil is great for sensitive skin specifically because it does NOT come from a plant. There’s nothing in it but hydrocarbons. It’s nonreactive and biologically inert. It doesn’t have any essential oils or phytochemicals that could potentially irritate skin. Of course, sometimes this is why plant oils are nice for skin use. Sunflower oil, my personal favorite, contains ceramides, vitamins, and antioxidants. You won’t get these with mineral oil or petroleum jelly. They will, however, gently remove makeup, seal in moisture to prevent trans-epidermal water loss, loosen blackheads when used as part of an oil cleansing routine, and should not irritate skin except for the rare occasion where somebody might actually have an allergy to mineral oil or petroleum jelly. As for the cancer argument, I’m not sure that one should be ruled out. The best argument that I have seen against the use of petroleum products is that they contain hydrocarbons and that cancerous breast tissue contains more hydrocarbons than healthy tissue does. The place where I read this did not provide a source. Does this mean the hydrocarbon in the cancerous tissue came from Vaseline use, or that Vaseline could even penetrate the skin barrier and get into the body somehow? No. It doesn’t mean that. It also doesn’t mean that this isn’t exactly what happens. If it concerns you, I would try to limit the use of petroleum products used on the lips, where ingestion is much more likely. Also, if the idea of petroleum products bothers you because of your concerns for the health of the planet and atmosphere, that’s a perfectly noble reason not to use them. I encourage everyone to stand behind their convictions. However, to use your ideology to spread misinformation about the safety and efficacy of some of the world’s least expensive and least irritating skincare ingredients is immoral.
- Myth two: you should only use “natural” products, because “chemicals” are bad for you. The truth: When the word “chemicals” is used in a statement mirroring the one above, it is used as a fear tactic. “Chemical” is supposed to make you picture bottles of household cleaners with a skull and crossbones, large refineries where the workers have to wear hazmat suits to manufacture your body lotion, and strong acids bubbling away in your high school science teacher’s fume hood. The reality is, the entire universe is made of “chemicals.” Vitamin C is a chemical. Water is a chemical. Chemicals are what give coffee its flavor. Now, let’s take a look at the word “natural.” This is supposed to conjure images of flowers, smiling puppies rolling in grassy meadows. In reality, all the word “natural” means is from nature. Additionally, there is no legal definition or requirements for the use of the word “natural” on a skincare or beauty product. Of course, consumers assume this means that the product’s ingredients come from plants, don’t harm the environment, don’t contain potentially carcinogenic preservatives, etc. While there is nothing wrong with wanting those things in a product, a label that says “natural” simply does not mean anything. Lead, for crying out loud, is “natural.” I would even make the argument that Vaseline is natural. It comes from petroleum, which comes from the earth. It’s basically compressed, aged, dinosaur juice. What’s more “natural” than a frickin’ dinosaur? There is nothing wrong with wanting to leave a safer and greener life. Just please, please realize, that “natural” companies are marketing to you; they want to make money just like everyone else does and they will use any scare tactic they can come up with to brainwash you into buying their products. Personally, that makes me kind of mad. So mad I may just go rub some dinosaur oil on my face.
- Myth three: If it is “natural,” that means it’s safer. The truth: NO. No, it absolutely does not. For instance, baking soda is often mentioned as a great do-everything substance. Personally, I love it for household cleaning, and I used to use it on my face to scrub out blackheads. Then I started learning a little more about skincare and I realized that our skin is coated in an oily, acidic layer that helps protect it and kill bacteria. When we introduce something, such as plain old “natural” soap, baking soda, etc that is highly alkaline, this layer, called the acid mantle, is damaged. While many people don’t seem to have any problem with doing this, it’s probably one of the least helpful things you can do for your skin if you are trying to alleviate any kind of ailment such as acne, eczema, etc. Healthy skin will recover its acid mantle within a few hours, restoring the proper pH. Toners can also help bring the acidity of the skin up (SOMETIMES. Many toners contain alcohol which can be drying to your skin, and I have seen very few products that actually list the pH). However, if you are battling skin problems, it’s best to just leave your pH where it’s supposed to be: slightly acidic, 4.5 to 5.5, so that your skin can protect itself, kill bacteria, and hold onto moisture. This is just one example of misinformation, coupled with the “but it’s natural” argument. Another mistake I once made is purchasing a sunscreen from a “natural” company. The bottle claimed that the sunscreen had vitamin c in it, and it used physical sunblocks, which I still prefer for my sensitive skin. I used it for a long time and really liked it. It smelled good, didn’t irritate my skin, and went on smoothly. Come to find out, the product did not actually contain any active form of vitamin c capable of penetrating the skin barrier. While I thought my skin was getting an additional protective boost from the antioxidants, there weren’t any. It did contain citrus oils, which is presumably why they were making the vitamin C claim. Citrus oils actually increase sun sensitivity. It makes me angry that while I thought I was protecting my skin with sunblock, and even giving it a little extra protective boost, I may really have done more damage than if I had skipped sunblock entirely. I have also seen many things on Pinterest that are downright dangerous. For instance, whiten your teeth with lemon juice. Lemon juice is highly acidic and will wear away the enamel on your teeth. If you want dentures by the time you’re 25, go ahead and try this daily, let me know how it goes. Please, if you want to try out something that you’ve read, research it a little. There are plenty of methods and products in the world that will fit your preference for what is “natural” and won’t damage your teeth or skin. Homemade is not always the best route to go. Homemade with thorough research and safety precautions can be awesome. J
Thank you for listening to my rant. Please understand, I have nothing against people wanting to live a healthy lifestyle and eliminate potential carcinogens from their homes. I think that’s awesome. I just think it’s scary that people will buy into marketing hype and sometimes do things that can actually harm their body because they don’t take the time to put a little more research into what they hear or read. When we hear something that fits in with our pre-conceived notions of what is right or wrong, we are more likely to believe it without a second thought. Don’t believe anything blindly; take everything with a grain of salt and do your own research to determine what’s best for you and your family.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, epileptic, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. For more information on oil safety issues here.
