Why Choose Mineral Cosmetics?

Mineral makeup stands out for its skin-friendly properties. Unlike traditional cosmetics that may contain harsh chemicals, mineral products are formulated with natural ingredients that offer numerous benefits:

Skin nourishment: Some makeup can clog pores, dry out the skin or cause irritation, Infused with vitamins A, C, and E, these products actually support your skin’s health.

Gentle on the skin:Free from parabens, fragrances, and talc, mineral makeup is hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and post-procedure skin. 

A different approach for coverage: Many traditional foundations use pigments to mask uneven tones or redness by layering color on top of the skin.This can sometimes result in a flatter appearance, especially with heavier formulations, which can look dull or mask-like if over-applied. Mineral foundations often use light reflecting ingredients which can soften the appearance of fine lines and imperfections and give the skin a more radiant or luminous finish. This light-diffusing effect can create the illusion of smoother, more even skin without heavy coverage.

Ageing is inevitable, and as we age, the visible signs of our skin and body alongside the effects of our overall health can present in many ways. At Spoilt, we firmly believe that by embracing the concept of ageing gracefully and adopting a holistic approach to skincare and nutrition, that we can significantly help slow the visible signs of ageing and enhance our natural beauty from within. Collagen production and support is an integral part of this journey. Through proper Collagen supplementation and by choosing a healthy lifestyle it’s possible to age gracefully and maintain optimal health.

The Importance of Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, providing structural support to the skin, bones, muscles, and joints. Collagen can also help maintain muscle mass, support heart health, gut health, brain health and even aid weight loss. As we age, the collagen levels in our bodies naturally decline, resulting in diminished skin elasticity, weakened joints, and brittle bones. By replenishing collagen through supplementation, we can naturally support our overall health and vitality and enhance our natural beauty.

Why You Should Be using Collagen Powder in Your Daily Routine.

Incorporating a high-quality collagen supplement like Adashiko Collagen Powder into your daily routine can offer a multitude of benefits:

• Improved Skin Elasticity: Collagen supplementation can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, promoting a more youthful complexion.

• Joint Health: By supporting cartilage and connective tissue, collagen supplements can alleviate joint pain and stiffness, enhancing mobility and flexibility.

• Bone Strength: Collagen plays a vital role in bone density and integrity. Supplementing with collagen can help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

• Overall Wellbeing: From promoting hair and nail growth to supporting gut health and immune function, collagen supplementation offers comprehensive wellness benefits for individuals of all ages.

Not All Collagen Powders Are Created Equally

Although adding a collagen powder into your daily routine is beneficial, it’s important to understand that not all collagen powders are created equally. The amount of collagen contained in some collagen brands means in order to get the full benefit you would be required to take a minimum 3 serves per day to get the recommended daily dose. The quality of the collagen also has a direct correlation to the results and our body’s ability to be absorbed, circulated to cells in the body and ultimately whether it aids in producing more collagen.

Key Benefits in choosing Adashiko Collagen Powder:

Adashiko’s collagen powders are backed by science and produced to high international standards. These are a few of the reasons we have solely chosen to stock Adashiko’s high quality collagen powders. One serve of Adashiko collagen is 5g. This will supply you with the additional collagen stores needed to produce more collagen within the skin and body.

Adashiko Collagen is made from pure porcine which is the most targeted collagen on the market. The collagen is hydrolysed and highly absorbable, which helps the uptake into the bloodstream faster.

Adashiko Collagen dissolves completely clear in water with no odour or taste and can be added to hot or cold liquids and food.

As the seasons change, so do the needs of our skin. Transitioning from one season to another requires adjustments in our skincare routines to ensure that our skin remains healthy, hydrated, and glowing!  Each season brings its own set of challenges and opportunities for skin care, and being mindful of these changes can help us maintain radiant skin all year round.

Winter Skincare Essentials

During colder months, the air becomes drier, leading to increased water loss which can dramatically impact skin conditions like dryness, eczema, and psoriasis. Throughout this time of year, as we spend more time indoors with heaters or air conditioning, we also tend to drink less water which means our skin becomes drier and needs extra care.  In winter it’s crucial to focus on barrier protection & hydration and it is the perfect time of year to tackle facial peels as sun exposure is typically less.

However, while SPF might not be at the forefront of our minds during winter, it is just as important to use high-quality sunscreen in winter, even on those cold, cloudy days. Pairing SPF with barrier-protecting products, will help shield your skin from harsh environmental elements.

Changing up your night cream or adding a hydrating serum to your routine temporarily in winter can also help your skin by giving it the extra boost it needs in the drier months. Treat yourself to a mask or indulge in an extra facial or two throughout the winter to replenish moisture and revive dull, dry skin.

Summer Skincare Must-Haves

In the summertime, SPF becomes your skin’s best friend.  We recommend opting for a high-quality sunscreen that not only protects against harmful rays but also nourishes the skin. Summer is also a good time to switch up your moisturisers and opt for those that inhibit pigment formation to help prevent sunspots and uneven skin tone. Consistent application of SPF is non-negotiable, even on cloudy days or when spending time indoors near windows.

Year-Round Skin Support

Regardless of the season, certain skincare practices remain timeless. Incorporating fish oils, such as BePure Three, into your routine provides essential omega-3 fatty acids to support skin health from the inside out. These oils are anti-inflammatory and help maintain skin hydration and flexibility, combating dryness and promoting a supple complexion. Zinc Restore is another must have supplement for skin health supporting collagen production, cell repair and helping to reduce inflammation. Lastly, Collagen is a supplement we recommend for everyone for so many reasons including skin health! Read about the benefits of collagen from our last entry here.

Tailor your skincare regime with expert guidance

Remember, skincare is not one-size-fits-all. Consulting with your skin therapist can provide valuable insights into the unique needs of your skin throughout the changing seasons.  Making the occasional tweak to your skincare regime, guided by expert advice, can make a world of difference.

At Spoilt Beauty we prioritise educating our clients about their skin and all facets of skincare using a holistic approach, ensuring that they have the knowledge and tools to nourish their skin throughout the year.
