As April unfolds and the autumn season sets in, it’s the perfect time to embrace a new sense of freedom and renewal. At SkinMiles, we believe that true beauty radiates from within, and we’re here to help you unlock your natural glow. Join us on a journey to discover the freedom to glow and embrace your most radiant self.

As the vibrant hues of summer fade into the warm tones of autumn, our skincare needs undergo a subtle yet significant shift. With the changing weather and environmental factors, it’s essential to adapt our skincare routines to ensure our skin remains radiant and healthy throughout the season. At SkinMiles, we’re here to guide you through this transition and help you embrace the autumn glow with confidence.

Understanding Autumn Skincare Needs:

As we bid farewell to the humidity of summer, our skin often experiences a decrease in moisture levels, leading to dryness and dullness. Additionally, cooler temperatures and harsh winds can exacerbate these concerns, making hydration and protection paramount during the autumn months. To combat these challenges, it’s essential to incorporate products that nourish, hydrate, and shield the skin from environmental aggressors.

Hydration is Key:

One of the most significant factors in achieving radiant autumn skin is maintaining optimal hydration levels. As the air becomes drier, our skin’s moisture barrier may become compromised, leading to dehydration and sensitivity. To combat this, opt for hydrating serums and moisturisers enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. These powerhouse ingredients work to replenish moisture levels, lock in hydration, and restore the skin’s natural barrier function.

Protection Against the Elements:

In addition to hydration, protection against environmental stressors is essential for maintaining healthy skin during autumn. UV rays, wind, and pollutants can all contribute to premature aging and damage, making sunscreen and antioxidants crucial components of your skincare arsenal. Incorporate a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily routine to shield your skin from harmful UV radiation, and also consider adding antioxidant-rich serums or creams to neutralize free radicals and combat oxidative stress.

Your SkinMiles Autumn Skincare Routine:

To help you navigate the transition into autumn skincare, we’ve curated a selection of products tailored to your seasonal needs. From hydrating serums to protective moisturisers, each product is carefully chosen to ensure your skin remains radiant and resilient throughout the season. Here are our top recommendations:

Hydrating Serums:

Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, these lightweight serums deeply hydrate and plump the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and radiant.

Moisturising Creams:

Formulated with ceramides and shea butter, these luxurious creams provide long-lasting hydration and help to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, leaving it smooth and velvety.

SPF Moisturisers:

A multitasking moisturiser with SPF protection, these products shield the skin from UV damage while delivering essential hydration, making it perfect for daily use.

Antioxidant Serums:

Packed with potent antioxidants like vitamin C and green tea extract, these serums defend the skin against environmental stressors and promote a healthy, glowing complexion.

As we transition into autumn, it’s essential to adapt our skincare routines to meet the changing needs of our skin. By prioritizing hydration and protection, we can ensure our skin remains radiant and resilient throughout the season. With the right products and a consistent skincare regimen, you can embrace the autumn glow with confidence.

For the month of love, we’re focusing on the perfect combinations and for us that’s glossy hair, glowing skin, and a balanced mood. What if we told you, a collagen supplement can assist you in achieving ALL 3! To look our best, we need to feel our best. That’s why at SkinMiles, we have sourced leading products and supplements to aid you in looking and feeling your best!

If you’re struggling with a dull complexion, chances are your hair & mood are on the lacklustre side too. Taking a high-dose hydrolysed collagen peptide supplement will drive real, lasting results from beyond the surface. Look for a dosage of at least 10 000 mg per serving to achieve the desired results from a collagen supplement. Key benefits are improved skin tone, elasticity and hydration, thicker hair, as well as longer and stronger nails.

What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, found in the framework of your cells and tissues. It is the main component of the body’s connective tissue, helping to make up your skin, hair, nails, joints, bones, cartilage, and ligaments. Collagen is one of the proteins that gives your skin its plumpness, hair its density and nails their strength.

Collagen powder is super easy to add to your everyday hustle, you take it orally and it supplies your body with key nutrients. A good collagen supplement contains a high dose of hydrolysed collagen peptides derived from animals such as fish, cows, pigs or chickens. Look for a dose of 10 000 mg/serving as a minimum daily requirement for the supplement to be effective. Collagen supplements are usually tasteless and granulated, which makes it super-fast dissolving – perfect for adding to a protein shake, smoothie, or juice.

Mood booster!

After a busy festive season, summer holiday and being back at work and in routine, many people aren’t feeling their best right now. Collagen supplements could help to boost your mood and put a little pep back into your step. One of the primary amino acids that are found in collagen is glycine, this is known to increase your serotonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate mood. When you increase your levels of serotonin with a collagen supplement, you may experience elevations in mood and a more positive outlook.

Benefits of a collagen supplement

Improves the quality of your sleep – collagen contains glycine, which has been linked to relaxation and good sleep. This could help to ensure that you sleep more deeply and experience a better overall quality of sleep.

Rejuvenation of skin – collagen improves skin hydration and elasticity, warding off wrinkles and reversing the signs of ageing.

Collagen helps to balance hormones – collagen protein may be able to counter low oestrogen production and even out your hormone levels, helping return your body’s mood regulation to normal.

Why should I take a collagen supplement?

The body’s ability to produce and turn over its own collagen supply naturally – as with many things – slows down over time, decreasing by about 1% to 1.5% every year from your 20s onward. This depletion is one of the main factors in the development of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. It also contributes to hair thinning and breakage, brittle nails, and poor bone health. When collagen peptides are ingested, they stimulate fibroblast proliferation in the dermal layers, triggering the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. It’s a way to drive visible results from the inside out!
