honey, skin care

Life is busy. Remembering Tuesday is rubbish day and your nails appointment is on Thursday can be troublesome enough, let alone remembering rituals such as applying your skin care and to take your medicine.

It’s so easy to forget to apply your facial & skin care products daily, especially at night when you are tired and the comfort of your bed is calling.

So today’s skin care tip is one of those simply yet effective ones…. Keep your face creams, night creams and moisturisers on your bedside table. There is no excuse not to apply just before you head off to sleep, or as a nice wake-up call first thing in the morning.

Applying Skincare at night is one of the best things you can do for your skin, because while you are in a deep slumber, your body naturally enhances its ability to fight environmental and natural damage, which translates into a better and brighter complexion.

Sleep reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), which is responsible for thinning skin, stretch marks, and discoloration (think of an apple that’s been sitting out for too long—gross!). Sleep increases melatonin (the sleep hormone), which acts like an antioxidant to fight age spots, fine lines, or in the worst case scenario, skin cancer. A good night’s rest can also increase the efficiency of special growth hormones that repair and regenerate collagen-producing cells, which are responsible for skin’s elasticity and tightness.

So we couldn’t just stop at one tip this Friday – here is a list of nighttime skin care tips to help you have beautiful skin – naturally.

Supplement Your Sleep
“As we age, our bodies naturally produce less melatonin, which affect our skin’s ability to repair itself at night. Take Royal Jelly chewable tablets at night to help combat decreased hormone levels. Royal Jelly chewable tablets should be used at night about 30 minutes before going to bed.
Choose Moisture-Attracting Ingredients
“We naturally lose moisture during the sleep process, so it’s very important to maintain healthy levels of cellular hydration topically. It doesn’t hurt to moisturise pre-sleep! Look for products that include shea butter and manuka honey to lock in hydration and attract moisture to the surface of the skin—on your face and body.” Royal Skin rejuvenating night cream includes Shea Butter, Royal Jelly and Active Manuka honey. Now that’s what we call a royal face cream.
