How to Tighten and Brighten Your Skin Naturally

There’s no doubt that the last few years have seen many up the ante when it comes to their skincare. If you’re looking for the best in-home facial and skincare treatments, you’ll find that you’re spoilt by choice. If you’re ready to ditch Zoom calls and venture into a world without blurry backgrounds and filters, we’ve got tips to help you tighten and brighten your skin naturally

Try the Cold Therapy Celebrities Swear By

Cryotherapy, also known as cold therapy, is one of the “hottest” trends in the wellness world as it speeds up the metabolism, flushes out toxins and helps to firm and brighten skin. Now it is starting to make its way into the beauty world as it also promotes cell rejuvenation, activates collagen production, aids lymphatic drainage, brightens and tightens skin. You can opt for at home treatments with cryo wands which offer similar benefits.

Consider Taking a Collagen Supplement

They say that beauty is inside out. What you eat has a direct impact on how your skin looks and feels. Collagen is what keeps your skin looking firm and plump. Did you know that after the age of 25, your body naturally slows down the production of collagen? As a result, this is when you might start to see skin wrinkles. Consider taking a collagen supplement to keep your skin glowing.

Give Yourself a Home Facial Massage with a Gua Sha

Traditionally used in Chinese medicine to heal skin tissue, the Gua Sha remains one of the most popular beauty tools. It’s used for facial massage and helps to improve blood circulation, skin cell rejuvenation, improves appearance of fine lines and helps to reduce puffiness and inflammation. It’s the perfect tool to use after a big night out or to help you unwind when you need a bit of self-care.

Exfoliate Regularly

If you want to keep your skin looking bright and fresh, exfoliating needs to be part of your beauty routine. Exfoliating helps to get rid of dead skin cells and make room for new cells. Your skin produces new skin cells about every 30 days but sometimes it needs a little help shedding the dead skin. A physical or chemical exfoliant can help make way for new skin cells.

Don’t forget your Vitamin C

Vitamin C skincare products are well known for their anti-aging benefits, it’s no surprise they are often the hero ingredient in anti-aging skincare. Not only does it help to promote collagen production, it also has brightening properties and helps to reduce hyperpigmentation, redness and the appearance of under-eye circles.

Each day I took little steps to start creating Orenda Beauty, which would be my self expression of my self care journey. Part of this journey was getting back into my ice baths (Wim Hof method).
