Skin Health

In a world of 10-step routines and endless product options, sometimes less is more when it comes to skincare. Discover how a simple yet effective routine can transform your skin. Step 1 - Cleanse: The Double-Cleansing Method Did you know that pollution is one of the top causes of premature aging? That's why proper cleansing is crucial. A double-cleansing method will thoroughly clear your skin of impurities. First Cleanse: Use our Revitalising Gel Cleanser to melt away makeup and surface impurities. Second Cleanse: Follow up with the same cleanser and our Konjac Sponge for gentle exfoliation. To help to support blood flow and thorough cleansing, massage for about 60 seconds using lukewarm water.    Step 2 - Tone: The Microbiome-Balancing Step    Toning isn't just an extra step, it's essential for pH balance and prepping your skin for maximum absorption of the products applied after. Try our Super Soothing Toner, packed with seaweed extracts and essential oils. Packed with probiotics, this toner helps support your skin's microbiome. Apply with our Reusable Cleansing Pads for an eco-friendly boost to your routine.   Step 3 - Moisturise: The Hydration Layer   Lightweight, multi-tasking moisturizers are the future of skincare. Our Really Radiant Moisturiser is a powerhouse of hydration and protection. Its plant-based microalgae, shield your skin from pollution while boosting collagen production. Apply in thin layers and patting gently for maximum absorption, to ensure deep hydration without any heaviness.    This 3-step routine isn't just skincare – it's self-care. By focusing on these essential steps and using products packed with clean, effective ingredients, you're not just treating your skin – you're transforming it. Remember, consistency is key. Stick with this routine, morning and night, and watch as your skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more radiant. It's not about having perfect skin – it's about having your healthiest skin possible.

The changes in temperature, from freezing cold outside to facing the dry blast of heating when we walk inside, can really dehydrate or cause sensitivity to our skin at this time of year. Here are our winter skin heroes to get you through!    A Comforting Cleanse Our gel-based cleanser paired with a natural konjac sponge, as in our Seahorse Plankton+ Konjac & Cleanse Kit, gently melts away makeup and impurities whilst providing light exfoliation. Say hello to super soft skin that is revitalised and hydrated.       Smoothing Serum Try adding a hydrating serum, like our Seahorse Plankton+ Bright Eyes Probiotic Serum, as an extra step under a daily moisturiser like our Seahorse Plankton+ Really Radiant Moisturiser. This will nourish delicate skin and revive tired looking eyes with the power of collagen boosting marine extracts, caffeine, and probiotics.        A Daily Boost Boost your evening moisturiser by adding 2-6 drops (depending on how much extra moisture your skin needs) of our supercharged Seahorse Plankton+ High Definition Facial Oil with our restoring Seahorse Plankton+ Bright Night Intensive Cream for the ultimate hydrating duo. Top tip: apply to both face and neck to prevent moisture loss around the décolletage.    Overnight Treatment Applying an intensive oil based overnight face mask like our Abyssinian Oil Night Halo Potent Sleep Mask will balance skin as you sleep with nourishing plant oils and omega’s leaving a glowing complexion when you awaken. The mask will provide a protective barrier to skin to prevent dry air from pulling moisture out from the skin. 

Self-care is a term we hear often, but how many of us really dedicate the time to recharge, relax and ensure we radiate the most healthy and happy version of ourselves? It’s easier said than done of course, but we believe it’s the little things that can also make an impact to your wellness. We’ve asked everyone at Beauty Kitchen what their favourite simple acts of self-care are to recharge and relax, and we thought we’d share them!Getting back to Nature Visiting the outdoors is a great chance to clear your head and take in the beauty of your surroundings. Whether it’s a walk to your local park with a friend or a step outside alone in your back garden, the next time your outside really try to engage with where you are. Notice the smell of air, the rustling of leaves, the feeling of the wind in your hair.Staying In A bit contradictory to our previous point but making a conscious decision to stay in should also be relished. It’s about balance, and if the pandemic taught us one thing, it was learning to indulge in our own company. Remember that it’s completely okay not to say yes to every social request that comes your way! Put the kettle on, change into your comfies, get out that book or stick on that movie you’ve been craving to get into and truly chill out.  Skincare A morning and night skincare routine is the prime opportunity to dedicate downtime to focus solely on yourself and every minute of your routine should be enjoyed. Our Seahorse Plankton+ skincare renews and protects skin from daily stresses, leaving ultra-hydrated, firm and bright skin. It’s everything you need to re-create an at home spa experience. Breathe in the relaxing scent of blue chamomile, seaweed, cedarwood and frankincense, and prepare to unwind… Writing Keeping a journal or diary can be a way to document your personal goals and achievements.
