5 Steps to Upgrade Your Skincare Routine This Year Natural skincare has evolved so much over the past 10 years. Long gone are the days of having to sacrifice function for “clean ingredients” and trending looks. We declare 2022 the year to love your skin (both inside and out) and shake things up with your skincare routine.

De-stress and feed that skin If you are stressed, your skin is stressed. Many of the products we take internally to help support our mood and anxiety benefit the skin. Adaptogens, such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, help reduce the signs stress can show on your skin such as redness, early signs of aging, and breakouts. Your skin also needs to be fed. Along with hydration, taking supplements and eating foods rich in essential fatty acids like omega-3, antioxidants, marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C help improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness.

Exfoliate – everything Exfoliating helps remove the dead layers of skin from your face, body, and scalp (don’t forget the scalp!) allowing for new healthy skin to show. Built-up dead skin can lead to breakouts and irritation, and even impede hair growth. For optimally glowing skin, exfoliate once a week for those with sensitive to normal skin, and twice a week for the those with oily skin. Common exfoliants include oats, sea salt, coffee grounds, and sugar. Don’t forget the tools too! Dry brushing, exfoliating gloves, and loofahs are all great ways to help remove the dead skin.
