What does self-care mean to you? Lighting a candle? Popping on a face mask?

A healthy gut is the secret to better sleep, clear skin, and less stress. The microbiome of the gut consists of trillions of micro-organisms including a vast number of both helpful and harmful bacteria. The balance among these micro-organisms is critical in determining a person’s overall health. Links have been established between a persons gut health and their skin integrity, mood, and hormone balance to name a few.

If you suffer from bloating, inflammatory skin issues or fatigue then your gut health may be the problem. Unfortunately many of us do not get all the essential nutrients we need from the food we eat to achieve optimal gut health. Whilst it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and follow a tailored skincare regime, The Beauty Chef offers an array of products to assist in attaining superb gut health and all of the associated benefits.

A few of our faves include Glow, Immune Food and Omega Elixir. All available to purchase in clinic or via The Skin Shop.

Glo at Home

Follow these steps to restore dewy, glowy youthfulness to your complexion.

Cleanse

Foam up a small amount of Aspect Gentle Clean and apply to wet skin. Massage into skin and rinse.

Exfoliate

Apply a large pearl sized amount of Aspect Fruit Enzyme Mask and massage into dry skin until gel liquefies and pilling occurs. Leave on 5-15 mins. Remove with a damp cloth using a gentle, sweeping action.

Grab Your Tool

Apply your favourite oil or serum onto your skin. Revitalise the skin to reduce puffiness and inflammation by holding the Base Camp Beauty Gua Sha tool with the curved side to your face and glide it gently up and out, starting with the neck, jawline, chin, and around the mouth, between three and five times per area. Then sweep across cheeks and gently glide under the eyes, across your eyebrows and from your forehead up to your hairline.

Mask

Massage a large pearl sized amount of Aspect Probiotic Mask onto face, neck and décolletage. Leave for 10-20 mins. Remove with a damp cloth using a gentle, sweeping action.

Finish

Combine one pump of Cosmedix Remedy and one pump of Aspect Phytostat to hydrate and nourish your skin whilst you sleep.
