At Westlab, we focus on fostering skin well-being and sharing knowledge on achieving it through skincare practices and healthy habits. In this blog post, we delve into various strategies for nurturing skin health and hydration during the summer season, highlighting their significance. If you're keen on prioritizing positive changes for your skin's well-being, read on!

Enhancing Barrier Function

Your skin boasts a natural barrier shielding you from toxins and allergens. Safeguarding this barrier and ensuring its optimal functioning are crucial for sustaining skin health and vitality. Central to this effort is maintaining adequate hydration and moisture levels, pivotal for fortifying the skin barrier and overall well-being.

Our range of bath and shower products offers a natural solution for fortifying the skin barrier while nurturing skin health and hydration. Enriched with magnesium, a vital mineral for supporting a healthy skin barrier and facilitating repair processes, our salts help mitigate barrier damage.

Moreover, our bath and shower gels avoid SLS/SLES, common lathering agents known to disrupt the skin's natural barrier. Crafted to gently foam, these formulations soften, nourish, and safeguard your skin while locking in moisture to impart a refreshed and revitalized feeling.

Tips for Hydrated Skin

Understanding the importance of skin hydration, we provide tips and tricks for maintaining optimal skin moisture levels. Recognizing hydration as the cornerstone of skin health, we advocate for practices conducive to skin well-being. Here are some actionable steps you can take to enhance your skin's hydration levels:

1. Opt for warmer to cooler bathing temperatures. Excessively hot water can irritate the skin, compromising its barrier function and leading to dryness. Bathing in warm water, ideally with hydrating salts like our Himalayan bath salts, replenishes moisture levels and promotes skin health.
2. Pat your skin dry gently rather than rubbing it vigorously. Apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp to seal in additional moisture, ensuring a radiant post-bath glow.
3. Hydrate from within by drinking ample water throughout the day, crucial during warmer months when dehydration risks are heightened. Adequate hydration fosters overall health and contributes to skin vitality.
4. Prioritise the use of gentle, hydrating skincare products, such as our bath salts and shower gels formulated with natural ingredients. These products nourish and support skin health while respecting its delicate balance.
