4 ways to boost your skincare regimen

Forget meeting Mr Right, the true love story of your life is when you finally find that perfect skincare routine that leaves your skin feeling clean, nourished, and healthy.

Of course, as we age so does our skin and with it, any tried and true skincare regimen demands a shake-up now and then to help us keep feeling our best.

If you’re feeling your daily skincare regimen is leaving your skin somewhat lacking in lustre, here are four ways you can give that tired old routine a breath of fresh air and say hello to happier skin.

Boost your skin health with natural vitamin E

Vitamin E is famously associated with supporting healthy skin. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E can help slow aging and there is evidence it can even reduce damage caused by UV exposure. The easiest way to boost skin health with vitamin E is to apply it topically.  Plunkett’s Vita E is a range of high potency vitamin E skin care products that are enriched with Rosehip Oil.  The Plunkett’s Vita E range is based on natural vitamin E which is more potent than synthetic vitamin E and makes it easier to absorb.  Vita E Natural Vitamin E Cream helps nourish and moisturize skin. Plunkett’s Vita E Intensive Vitamin E Ointment is ideal for soothing and protecting dry, damaged skin as it provides a long-lasting barrier and locks moisture in. Vitamin E is also available in a much more potent formulation – Plunkett’s Vita E Pure Vitamin E Oil – which can be applied directly to scars and stretch marks to help restore damaged skin.  It can also be used as a beauty booster for fine lines and wrinkles and can be added to your moisturiser.

Restore your natural skin tone

Over time, many things can cause our natural skin tone to develop unwanted pigmentation including hormonal changes, skin type and – you guessed it – sun damage. Sun exposure in particular is responsible for causing freckles, dark marks, age spots and brown skin blemishes, making the task of balancing out our skin tone with concealer and make-up that much more time consuming. John Plunkett’s Superfade Face Cream is a pharmacy medicine which is clinically proven to help fade unwanted pigmentation. Included in your regular skin regimen, Superfade Face Cream is an effective way to restore your natural, youthful skin tone.

This medicine may not be right for you. Read the label before purchase. If symptoms worsen or change unexpectedly, talk to your healthcare professional. Follow the directions for use.

Boost your collagen for younger-looking skin

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies and is responsible for keeping our skin strong and supple. As we age, our natural collagen depletes, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles and dry skin. Adding collagen-boosting products to your skincare regimen can go a long way to help lift and firm your skin. For instance, John Plunkett Collagen Lift Moisturiser contains Matrixyl 3000, a peptide proven to boost collagen by 100%. This can have the most noticeable benefits around the eye, where the delicate skin is susceptive to fine lines, dark shadows, and puffiness. For this, John Plunkett developed Collagen Eye Lift, specifically to support your skin’s natural elasticity. Both Collagen Lift Moisturiser and Collagen Eye Lift contain cosmeceutical strength ingredients that deliver on their promises.

Look after yourself from head to toe

Hard-working feet need some TLC too! Which is why it’s important to not neglect your heels during your skincare routine. It can be easy to ignore dry, cracked heels until suddenly it’s sandal-weather and your feet are far from beach-ready. Thankfully you don’t need to pick up that disgusting foot file. Instead, natural NS 8 Heel Balm Complex gently exfoliates your feet and then hydrates, softens, and smooths for a noticeable difference in just one day.
