The Ultimate Guide to Seasonal Skin and Hair Care

Taking care of skin and hair is something that feels good and also brings confidence. The way our body reacts to changing seasons is natural, and giving little attention in the right way helps us look and feel refreshed throughout the year. Each season has its own charm, and it also gives us reasons to pamper ourselves in different ways.

From soft glowing skin to shiny smooth hair, seasonal care is about enjoying simple routines that fit the weather and lifestyle. It’s not about complicated steps; it’s about keeping it easy and consistent. With just a few mindful habits, anyone...

How to learn from new experiences

New experiences and hard experiences can be painful and challenging. But the truth is, if you stay in your comfort zone and never try new things, you won’t grow as a person. Emotional and personal growth is very valuable, but it’s often a tough experience. Here are ways you can take new experiences and learn and grow from them.

Treat yourself

If you’re trying to talk yourself into trying something new or planning to broaden your horizons in some way, the idea might leave you anxious. Sometimes, even when you really don’t want to do something, you have to. In these situations,...

The connection between diet and skin health

Diets have become modern-day remedies for the largest organ of our body, i.e., skin. The link between diet and skin is controversial, but recent studies have shown that food is 25% of the reason behind acne breakouts and skin problems.

It does not matter if you visit a dermatologist or not; you need to understand the relationship between a healthy diet & healthy skin. If you want to promote healthy skin, then you should consider adopting healthy nutritional habits.

Correlation between skin and food habits

How to determine which exfoliator is perfect for your skin with SKINFOOD

The skin can shed an estimated 500 million skin cells a day, but the natural exfoliating process of our skin only happens every 30 to 35 days. Unfortunately, it slows down even more as we grow older, which is why we need to exfoliate our skin as much as our skin needs us to prevent dead skin cell buildup.

Like other skincare products, exfoliating greatly depends on a person’s skin type. That said, you cannot blindly follow beauty vlogs only because it worked for them. Whenever it comes to skincare, you have to remember that every skin requires different care. Here, you will find...

‘I need therapy, but I can’t afford it.’ What are your options?

We often cite lack of awareness as one of the main reasons why more people don’t seek therapy, but this is not the only obstacle keeping Great Britain from having better levels of mental health. In the past year, stress and anxiety have affected everyone, from students to the elderly, and studies have shown that factors such as social distancing, job loss, and loneliness will have a lasting impact on our mental health. But, despite more people being aware of the importance of therapy than ever before, not everyone is financially prepared to attend sessions. Therapy is more affordable than...

NHS Doctors get on their bikes for home visits thanks to Co Bikes

During June, NHS doctors from Pinhoe and Broadclyst Medical Practice have opted to leave their cars at home in favour of using Co Bike e-bikes for home visits and travel between practices.

Dr Emily Hay, GP registrar and Dr Harry Edwards, GP, together with eight other doctors from the surgery, are keen to look at alternative, carbon neutral ways to travel. With home visits on the rise and journeys often short, the practical and sustainable solution is to travel by bike.

The GPs therefore approached Co Bikes about conducting a trial with surgery staff. Because the bikes...
