Why Calm Skin is Happy Skin

At Nakin we are firm believers that calm skin is happy skin. We tend to have so many skincare aims such as having clear skin that is free from lines and discolouration, but having calm skin helps with all of these, so it should really be our number one aim. At Nakin we have developed our entire natural anti-ageing face collection with calmness in mind, so skin can flourish & thrive with our cleansers, treatments and creams.

Calm skin is happy skin because it reflects a state of balance and health, free from inflammation, irritation, and discomfort. Skin that is calm appears smooth, even-toned, and radiant, which not only enhances one's physical appearance but also boosts self-confidence and emotional well-being. Conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema are often exacerbated by stress and irritation, making it crucial to maintain a skincare routine that soothes and nourishes. Using gentle, hydrating products, and protecting the skin from harsh environmental factors can help maintain this state of calm, leading to a happier, more harmonious complexion.

Why is Calm Skin Important?

Calm skin is not just about physical appearance, but it also has an impact on our emotional and mental well-being. When our skin is irritated or inflamed, it can cause frustration and low self-esteem, which might even worsen existing skin conditions. 

On the other hand, when our skin is calm and healthy, we feel more confident and at peace with ourselves. Taking care of our skin also involves taking care of our overall health, which is crucial for maintaining a positive mindset and reducing stress and anxiety.

Therefore, having calm skin is essential for our overall well-being, both physically and emotionally. It not only makes us look good but also helps us feel good from the inside out.

Tips for Maintaining Calm Skin

• Use gentle skincare products like our natural skincare: Harsh ingredients and aggressive exfoliation can strip the skin of its natural barrier, leading to irritation and inflammation. Choose products like ours with soothing ingredients like plant oils and extracts, that will help keep your skin calm and balanced.
• Keep your skin hydrated with a good moisturiser like those in our range: Dehydrated skin can become dry, itchy, and prone to irritation. Make sure to drink enough water and use moisturising products that will keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and plump.
• Protect your skin from environmental stressors: Pollution, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions can all contribute to skin irritation. Wear a good moisturiser and apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outside, cover up with a hat or scarf in extreme cold or heat, and cleanse your face thoroughly every day to remove any impurities.
• Avoid triggers: If you have sensitive skin, certain ingredients or activities may trigger a reaction. Pay attention to what you put on your skin and try to avoid potential irritants like synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals. Also, be mindful of your diet and lifestyle habits that may affect your skin's health.
• Practice relaxation techniques: Stress and anxiety can manifest on our skin, so incorporate relaxation techniques such as yoga, exercise, meditation, or deep breathing into your daily routine to reduce stress levels and promote a calm state of mind.
• Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can lead to increased inflammation in the body and negatively impact our skin's health. Try to get around 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your skin to repair and rejuvenate itself.
• Be mindful and consistent with your skincare routine: Avoid using too many products at once, especially if they contain harsh ingredients such as glycolic acid and retinol.
