Natural beauty hacks for a healthy spring glow

Birds chirping, flowers blooming, and your skin escaping from a cocoon of intense winter moisturiser and chapstick are all signs of rebirth in the spring. Your skin is unquestionably prepared for a change in seasonal skin care after months of alternating between the hot, dry indoor air and the biting cold outside.

A healthy complexion is more than simply skin-deep, according to Bianca Leonard, Marketing Manager at air treatment and lifestyle brand Solenco. Read more to explore the three all-natural, holistic tips for bright skin this spring brought to you by Bianca. 

  1. Explore aromatherapy

The marketing manager suggests that individuals should consider avoiding facial serums and creams as it contains chemical base and some levels of poisons. She advises individuals to make use of pure essential aromatherapy oils that help to create smoother, cleaner, and generally better skin and these include frankincense, tea tree, ylang ylang, geranium, and rose. And they have a lovely scent. 

  1. Eat and sleep well

The amount of delectable fresh food that comes with spring is wonderful, and the season’s vibrant hues alone are enough to make you happy inside and out. Use your imagination to discover the seasonal fruits and vegetables that are available this spring, such as artichokes, aubergines, guavas, and grapefruit. Consuming food that has been grown in its ideal climate necessitates little human intervention or prolonged refrigeration. Additionally, because they usually ripen spontaneously, they are healthier and more flavorful states Bianca. In addition, make sure to have adequate amount of sleep which is important for your skin. 

  1. Healthy air means healthy skin

Although we enjoy the nicer weather that spring provides, it also brings the dreaded seasonal pollen and hay fever, which can ruin even the greatest skincare and sleep routines. Your healthy spring glow can be dampened by allergic symptoms like sniffling, sneezing, and red, inflamed skin.

The risk of air drying out for South Africans who use air conditioners to beat the heat includes dry, rough skin that is more susceptible to aging symptoms. You should “humidify while you get some sleep,” Bianca advises.

 The Solenco Ultrasonic Humidifier offers an optional HEPA filter that will remove 99.97% of airborne allergens like pollen and a silver ion sterilisation mechanism that destroys 99.99% of airborne microorganisms. Additionally, it features an integrated fragrance diffuser where you may add essential oils to facilitate breathing and relaxation.

 A humidifier is a game-changer for maintaining healthy skin overall, according to Bianca: “The unit is loadshedding-friendly, in that it’ll switch itself back on when the power comes back on, and it’ll also switch itself off when the water level is too low.”

 The best part is that, for people who cherish beautiful décor as well as beautiful skin, its streamlined form guarantees that it will blend into your bedroom. Bianca cites the usefulness and attractive appearance of the Solenco Ultrasonic Humidifier.
