How to get the right skincare routine with dry skin.

Image
  Dry skin? We have your skin care routine Dull complexion, flakey skin, an uncomfortable, too-tight feeling around your face: If you have dry skin, you are all too familiar with these challenges. But dry skin isn’t an unsolvable problem. With the right skin care routine, you can repair your hydration issues and enjoy the feeling of moisturized, balanced skin. What causes dry skin? Like all skin issues, dry skin can be caused by several factors including environmental, hormonal and genetic. Dry skin produces less sebum than normal skin, and sebum is a substance that helps skin retain moisture. Without enough sebum, skin lacks the oil it needs to maintain a healthy moisture barrier . As we age, our skin also loses some of its ability to retain moisture, so it’s normal and natural to notice your skin trending to be drier as you get older. Weather and seasonal changes can also affect your skin. Wintertime is especially harsh on dry skin because of the dry he...

5 skincare tips to win with visibly healthy skin

Image
  Skin care tips: 5 ways to win with visibly healthy skin You may not think of skin as being a defensive organ, but it is. Our skin provides a layer of protection from head to toe against all the pollutants and toxins the environment throws at us every day. Maintaining a strong skin barrier is the first step to help prevent damage, stress, dehydration or anything else that can compromise the skin. A critical part of that step includes a healthy microbiome, the invisible ecosystem of good bacteria that lives on your skin to help keep it in fighting condition. When that microbiome is in a balanced, harmonious state, it’s a winning combo for keeping good stuff in and bad stuff out. But when skin health is off, the guard comes down. Keep skin in a healthy place with these five happy-skin habits. [RELATED: Learn more about the global collaboration of Artistry Skincare and Nutrition products. ] 1.

7 tips for better beauty sleep

Image
  7 tips for getting a better night’s sleep Go to bed. Toss, turn … zzzz. Wake up … toss, turn … zzzz. Wake up … toss, turn … zzzz. Sound familiar? You’re not getting enough sleep, and that’s not healthy. Plus, it can make you really cranky (Get your own coffee!). Here are a few tips to help you get more sleep. Keep it quiet Snoring sleep partners? Noisy traffic? Loud neighbors or roommates? Consider a white noise machine or a loud fan to drown out the racket and whir you to sleep. You could also investigate soundproof curtains to keep the outside noise outside and carpeting to muffle noise from below. And rearrange your bedroom to place your bed the farthest away from any noise sources. The lowest cost solutions are earplugs and having a friendly but direct conversation with your neighbors about being considerate. (No, bongo drums at 2 a.m. on a weekday are not OK, even if they did invite you to the party.) Create a sleep sanctuary Keep your bedroom ti...

The science behind skin dehydration

Image
  The science behind skin dehydration When your skin is well hydrated, it looks vibrant, smooth, and fresh. But when your skin’s natural processes for maintaining hydration break down, it can start to look dull and have visible lines. No one wants that. That’s why it’s so important to keep your skin hydrated by caring for it in a way that helps maintain cell health while sealing in moisture. What causes dehydrated skin? In a perfect world, your skin does a pretty good job of keeping itself hydrated, but our world is rarely perfect. Your skin’s natural hydration process is easily disrupted by a lack of water and other risk factors that are part of everyday life, including harsh weather, extreme indoor environments, everyday stress, or even daily cleansing. Can oily skin be dehydrated? And those of us with oily skin are not immune to dehydration. While oil provides a type of moisture, it doesn’t combat the dehydration that occurs due to a lack of water. So,...

Vitamin D deficiency is more common than you think

Image
  Vitamin D deficiency is more common than you think Life has moved indoors. Admit it — you spend way more time inside than outside. That means, like most people around the world, you’re probably not getting enough sunlight to provide your body with the vitamin D it needs to thrive. Why is vitamin D so important? Vitamin D enables normal mineralization of your bones, supports normal function of the cardiovascular system and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. † Reports actually suggest that over half of the world’s population suffers from a deficiency of vitamin D. “The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the general population is significant in many regions of the globe,” says Alli Klosner, a clinical research scientist for Nutrilite. “Very few foods in nature contain vitamin D, and most of us don’t get enough sunlight to provide us with the vitamin D our bodies need.” Sources of vitamin D Sunshine gen...

  Want healthy looking skin? You need these 5 things Is your skin nutrition on point? You know your body has nutritional needs to be healthy, right? Well, your skin has nutritional needs, too. So, if you have skin (and we’ll go ahead and assume you do), there are a handful of nutritional requirements you should address to look your healthy best – no matter your skin type, skin tone or age.

Here’s how to build your skin care routine for oily skin.

Image
  Oily skin? Here’s how to build your skin care routine If your face looks shiny or feels greasy, there’s a good chance you have oily skin. Oily skin can actually be a plus — your skin naturally produces oil to keep itself hydrated, so people with oily skin tend to have fewer wrinkles. On the other hand, oily skin can also be the source of stubborn breakouts. Oily skin has a lot of causes, but with the right skin care routine, you can help your skin find balance so it looks and feels fresh all day. We’ll show you how to create the perfect skin care routine for oily skin. How do I know if I have oily skin? Think about how your face looks and feels at the end of the day. Does your skin look shiny or greasy? Do the pores around your t-zone look enlarged? Does makeup seem to “melt” off your face by the end of the day? If so, you probably have oily skin. Another possible sign: frequent breakouts. Overproduction of oil means it can get trapped in your pores an...

Do you protect your skin during winter weather?

Image
  5 Tips to protect your skin during winter weather Skincare is important all year long, but winter has its own special challenges: dry heated rooms, dropping temperatures, biting winds – all of which can lead to dry skin and chapped lips. And all that cold weather makes you want to take nice long hot showers, which, unfortunately, only adds to the problem by further drying out your skin. Help your skin survive Mother Nature’s coldest months with these tips: 1. Exfoliate Try dry exfoliation. Grab a soft brush or dry washcloth and gently brush the skin on your arms, legs and body to remove dead skin cells. Those cells make your skin look dull, and that is the opposite of the look you want to achieve. For your face, consider an at-home peel for a fast refresher. Using a unique mushroom enzyme, Artistry™ Intensive Skincare Renewing Peel gently and effectively exfoliates your skin, renewing its radiant look in just eight minutes. 2.
