The key to healthy skin, outside of using the right products, includes a healthy diet and lifestyle. Stress and lack of sleep can cause acne flare ups, skin aging, dullness, and other health issues.
Feeding your body enough of the right foods and nutrients and keeping hydrated is so important. When washing your face, it is best to use lukewarm water, as hot water opens the pores and makes your skin more vulnerable to blemishes.
Pair these healthy habits with our plant-based products, and see the difference in your skin within days.
