10 Daily Habits for Healthy Skin

Creating good, long-standing habits is the best way to achieve healthy, glowing skin and maintain it throughout your life. 

1. It all starts with water

Internal hydration is extremely important for your organs including the body's largest organ. Your skin! By drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day you will keep your skin happy and healthy. If you exercise you may need to drink more to maintain good hydration levels. Water also helps to flush toxins from the Healthy skin starts with a hydrated body. 

2. Wash your face twice daily

Cleaning off the day's worth of makeup, dirt, and grime is essential for good skin. This should also be one of the morning's first steps to clear away the leftover product applied in the evening along with any sweat or bacteria exposed to the skin while you were asleep soon as soon as you wake up, lather up and cleanse! 

Our top pick? Dragon’s Blood 3-In-1 Advanced Treatment Cleanser $19.95. This 3-in-1 solution thoroughly cleanses without stripping the skin of its natural oils, gently exfoliates with a natural blend of AHA fruit extracts, and lightly moisturises to leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated after every wash. So your skin is instantly fresher, cleaner and brighter (and you can avoid those pesky break-outs)! 

3. Incorporate Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a unique ingredient that essentially collects and deposits high doses of hydration and moisture into the skin to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles and create plump and visibly hydrated skin. By adding this to your daily routine your skin will be glowing like never before! 

Our Dragon's Blood Ultra Plumping Night Cream $59.95 delivers a high dose of Hyaluronic Acid into the skin, unraveling within to plump-out wrinkles, smoothing facial lines and firming skin. This luxurious cream formula nourishes, moisturises and also features the antioxidant properties of nature’s Dragon’s Blood Extract & Argan Oil. 

4. Just a touch of Vitamin C 

Vitamin C is another amazing skincare ingredient that helps your skin repair skin cells and offer clearer and brighter skin and a healthy complexion. 

Our Oxygen-C range features Australian Kakadu Plum which is one of the world’s richest sources of Vitamin C. The Kakadu Plum also contains large amounts of polyphenols (mainly gallic and ellagic acids) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, plus vitamins E and A, offering an impressive list of skin and health benefits.

5. Get 8 hours

Getting your beauty sleep is much more important for skin health than you would think! while you sleep your body is busy at work repairing cells including your skin, the more you sleep the longer your body has to repair. So by getting a full eight hours sleep at night means your skin is as healthy as possible. 

6. Drink collagen

Collagen is the natural solution to help transform your skin’s health and beauty from within. This ingestable aids in boosting, recovering and maintaining youthful-looking skin. We recommend our Collagen Beauty Elixir.

This innovative inner beauty supplement harnesses the scientifically proven benefits of Collagen-Bio Peptides. Supporting our skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, it helps counteract the premature signs of ageing: smoothing wrinkles/lines, improving skin’s firmness and brightening skin tone.

7. SPF

Protecting your skin from external stressors like harsh sun rays is essential for healthy skin. Sunlight exposure can cause the ageing process of the skin to increase, this can result in sunspots, wrinkles and fine lines along with causing permanent damage.

The new Foundation No More BB Cream features SPF30+ which offers UVA & UVB while evening out skin tone, covering blemishes and reducing the look of pores. The lightweight formula glides across the skin for a ‘barely there’ feel that won’t crease or crack throughout the day.

8. Eat the Rainbow

Eating the rainbow means to eat fruit and vegetables in a range of colours, by doing this you broaden the range of vitamins and minerals ingested which transforms into good skin health. The best way to do so is by eating a variety of colour on the daily. 

9. Apply eye cream

The eyes are a focal point of the face, when they are puffy you look tired, wrinkles show ageing and much more. This is why it's important to look after the eye surrounds with a good eye cream. 

Our Advance SUPERLIFT Eye Contouring Serum is scientifically designed to fight all the visible signs of fatigue and ageing, for a complete treatment of the eye contour. Developed especially for mature skin, it fortifies delicate skin around the eye (including the upper and lower eyelid), for a more refreshed, radiant and youthful appearance.

10. Don't touch your face

We know more now than ever the number of bacteria carried on the hands from touching surfaces throughout the day. If you constantly touch your skin and pick/scratch you can spread that bacteria onto the sensitive skin on the face which causes breakouts and inflammation. Be conscious to not touch your face to help achieve the healthiest and happiest skin possible.
