📢 HOW I WENT FROM SAD WINTER SKIN BACK TO HEALTHY SKIN IN 8 DAYS 📢
(Feel free to skip my life story to the end to see what I've changed in the last 8 days!)
Ever heard the saying "The mechanic's car is always the one that needs fixing".
Well this has been me with my skin and my self care for a while now. I love treating people, their wellness, their nervous system and especially their skin!
For me though, lately I've been over working (before taking time off), parenting, running around and lacking a lot of self love and neglecting my skin ❤️ (while also being very happy in my little life, self care is still easy to drop and sometimes that starts to show).
So I've decided to start prioritising me a little more consciously again, ESPECIALLY while going through a Melbourne winter!
This is only the start of my journey but thought I would share where we're at so far!
Keeping in mind that what works for one person may not be the thing that works for the next, our bodies and skin are all different and have different needs!
IN THE LAST 8 DAYS I HAVE:
✨️ Picked up my water intake to 2 Litres a day
✨️ Doubled my Omega 3 supplements (Soooo important for winter skin!)
✨️ Had blood work done and started on Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, probiotics and Iron (I slowly introduced each one but have been on all of the above for 8 days)
✨️ Have done 3× 30 Minute LED sessions (also helps with seasonal depression!)
✨️ Have done gua sha (Lanshin on YouTube has some great tutorials for this!)
✨️ Have done one gentle AHA peel
✨️ Have been better with my skincare routine! Serums, oils, retinol and SPF ALWAYS (EVEN IN WINTER!)
✨️ Have moved my body more, walks to school drop off and stretching each day + meditated where I can!
✨️ Have slept more!! 😴
WHAT'S NEXT:
Next on my skin journey I plan on doing skin needling (luckily I'm trained in this and can do it at home). Lots of LED. Seeing some of my other skin specialists Stephie Murphy RN
Advanced Skin & Beauty Clinic Mornington
And have talked to my Dr about some more options of what could help to!
Soooo stay tuned for my skincare journey 😘
