Establishing the cause of your skin concerns

Your skin can act up for a huge variety of reasons, and it’s not unusual for two people with the same skin concern to have completely different underlying causes. This can mean that treatments and skincare recommendations will also differ, despite the skin concern being the same. Here’s a quick guide to some of the most common lifestyle causes of skin concerns, to get you started: Stress Flooding your body with cortisol constantly will almost always have a detrimental effect on the skin. When you’re stressed, hormonal imbalances can cause spots, oiliness or even full-on acne outbreaks. Or you might experience the opposite; stress affects the immune system too, and as a result, many people experience eczema flare-ups during really rough patches in their life. Food Intolerances The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it is very much affected by what we eat. Many people find that their skin is transformed after giving up certain foods. If you have a suspicion that what you eat might be affecting your skin, consult a doctor or dietician to see if food intolerance could be the cause. Skincare Routine Using the wrong products can cause years of skin problems without you ever realising it. Many people who think they have naturally sensitive, dry or oily skin are actually just using products that aren’t adapted to their skin type.

Your skin can act up for a huge variety of reasons, and it’s not unusual for two people with the same skin concern to have completely different underlying causes. This can mean that treatments and skincare recommendations will also differ, despite the skin concern being the same. Here’s a quick guide to some of the most common lifestyle causes of skin concerns, to get you started:

Stress

Flooding your body with cortisol constantly will almost always have a detrimental effect on the skin. When you’re stressed, hormonal imbalances can cause spots, oiliness or even full-on acne outbreaks. Or you might experience the opposite; stress affects the immune system too, and as a result, many people experience eczema flare-ups during really rough patches in their life.

Food Intolerances

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it is very much affected by what we eat. Many people find that their skin is transformed after giving up certain foods. If you have a suspicion that what you eat might be affecting your skin, consult a doctor or dietician to see if food intolerance could be the cause.

Skincare Routine

Using the wrong products can cause years of skin problems without you ever realising it. Many people who think they have naturally sensitive, dry or oily skin are actually just using products that aren’t adapted to their skin type. Take a good look at your skincare routine and think about what kind of effect each product is having.

Hygiene and Cleanliness

Accidentally getting too much of the wrong bacteria on your face can have disastrous effects on your complexion. The most common problem caused by excess bacteria is spots. This is why it’s really important to keep your makeup brushes clean, avoid touching your face, remove makeup at night, change your pillowcases often, and clean your phone regularly!

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
