The times I notice a change with the way my skin looks and feels is when I’m stressed. Naturally when I’m stressed I don’t eat as well hence my diet changes. I don’t have the time to have a nice balanced dinner – instead I grab something fast on the go which is not as healthy or enough. Stress can come when working longer hours and also when I travel. My skin begins to feel dry, it looks deflated the opposite of plumped, and ashy grey i.e. lacks glow. Also not drinking enough water can make a huge difference on my skin, it makes it feel dry and tight. In a nut shell my skin can be sensitive.

I took the Simple Skin Health Consultation and I would like to share with you my Simple product recommendations. Here are the results in full.

A re-cap from the quiz I took with Simple and their skincare tips tailored to me by Dr. Jennifer Segal – Simple Dermatologist:

-You said that your skin has become irritated after using a facial product. Some skin care products contain ingredients that can be irritating. Avoid washing with harsh cleansing products.

-Spending a lot of time indoors may impact the quality of your skin, making it look dull and lifeless. Your skin needs to breathe – and it will respond to a daily dose of fresh air. Just getting outside for as little as 15 minutes a day can make a real difference. Oxygenate your skin…

-Stress can also be a contributing factor in flare-ups of many skin conditions, including eczema or psoriasis. Make sure that you make time each day to stop, relax and unwind. Have a night off and pamper yourself with a face mask and a relaxing bath. You could also take a yoga class or read a book.

-Wash your face twice a day with warm water (not hot!) and a gentle cleanser, especially at the end of the day. Cleansing your skin at bedtime removes substances that clog pores and irritate skin, as well as bacteria that contribute to acne breakouts. Using a mild cleanser will achieve all this without over drying or irritating your skin, leaving you with an even, healthy complexion.
