It’s always interesting to see what’s proving popular in terms of health, beauty and skincare trends, particularly as we get older and the needs of our skin change over time.
Knowledge, as they say, is power so keeping abreast of all the latest trends, ideas and innovative new concepts can really help you decide if, when and how to improve upon your daily skincare routine.
One of the very latest buzzwords in the skincare world is ‘rewilding’ – but what exactly is this and is it something you should be considering for yourself?
Rewilding involves protecting and nourishing the microbiota in your skin, which is the collection of microorganisms living on the skin itself – and it’s important to foster these with care, since they can promote natural and adaptive immune responses to limit pathogen invasion and maintain homeostasis.
Because we’re less connected to the natural world as a result of modern-day lifestyles, with lots of pollution, screen time, stress and anxiety, our skin is paying the price – and skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and so on are now very commonplace.
But rewilding the skin can really help reduce the chances of this, allowing the skin microbiome to return to a rich and healthy state, keeping serious skin complaints at bay.
Take a look at your skin in the mirror right now – do you see any inflammation? How about any acne? This could be indicative of an issue with the diversity of your skin’s microbiome… so what can you do about it?
Firstly, make sure that your diet is varied and balanced, with lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, fibre and fermented produce. Washing less can also help maintain your skin’s natural oils, which will help keep your microbiome in good working order. You can also supplement these by making sure you get plenty of omegas 3 and 6, which are both amazing for looking after your skin.
