Eating fruits and vegetables, replacing artificial sugar in your recipes with healthier alternatives like Stevia,drinking plenty of water and regular exercise is what doctors’ recommend for optimal health. But sometimes we need help from products that are not 100% formulated by mother nature.

Take our skin, for example. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to lead a healthy lifestyle, certain imperfections such as acne can still be pretty hard to manage. Skin reactions can also occur due to prolonged use of masks, most likely because of the increase in temperature, moisture and friction. Here’s where creams, serums, lotions and similar products come into play. But since our facial skin is very sensitive, putting just about anything on it, can often cause more harm than good.

Hence it’s important to choose a good skincare brand that doesn’t load its products with harmful alcohols and fragrances. One such is Sebamed. Formulating skin products that don’t strip the skin’s protective barrier since 1957, no wonder this brand has been the staple of many Aussies.

Carefully Chosen the Ingredients

Choosing the right products that won’t irritate your skin should take an equal amount of time and devotion as when selecting the right perfume for you. Luckily, you can cut that effort short by opting for a reliable and dermatologically-tested skincare brand that can give you peace of mind that you’re not exposing your skin to anything harmful.

The amazing range of products offered by Sebamed Australia wide is based on carefully selected ingredients. Being dermatologically tested without any animal cruelty, all of the Sebamed Australia skincare products have nourishing formulas to give your skin the intensive care and protection it needs. More than 120 scientific studies have proven the high effectiveness and good skin compatibility of all Sebamed products.

Here are some of the carefully chosen ingredients that Sebamed base their skin range on which are perfect for everyday care and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Glycerin

This simple polyol compound is considered to be an ultimate moisturising ingredient found in skincare products. It’s colourless, odourless, viscous, non-toxic liquid. Due to having antimicrobial and antiviral properties, it is widely used in cosmetic products. As a natural moisturiser, the glycerin found in Sebamed products can help keep your skin hydrated, soft and supple. It can also protect your skin from harmful environmental aggressors while improving its texture.

This powerful skin agent can signal your superficial skin cells to speed up the turnover, which means a faster route to soft skin. And when combined with other powerful ingredients, the glycerin found in the Sebamed moisturiser may also slow down the aging process, keeping your skin firm and wrinkle-free for a longer period. For optimal results, you can also implement the Sebamed liquid face wash into your skincare routine. This powerful cleanser contains glycerin alongside a plethora of beneficial ingredients and is ideal for both face and body wash.

Dimethicone

One of the most widely used ingredients in cosmetics, hair care and skincare is dimethicone, which is a type of silicone. Because of its fluid properties, dimethicone found in the Sebamed moisturiser and other products may help improve the surface texture of the skin, helping other beauty products to glide across it. This mighty ingredient may help to fill in pores or fine lines, priming your skin for foundation. It can also act as a powerful barrier over your skin since the molecules are large, making it perfect as protection against harsh weather conditions.

Another great benefit of this ingredient is that it can spend up the process of wound healing and help treat dry patches. But besides being beneficial for dry skin, it can also be useful for oily skin or large pores, helping to create a mattified finish.

Tocopheryl Acetate

A specific form of vitamin E, alpha-tocopheryl acetate (ATA) is often found in skincare products and dietary supplements. It’s also known as tocopheryl acetate, tocopherol acetate, or vitamin E acetate. The antioxidant properties of this ingredient can help prevent damage to the skin caused by free radicals from UV exposure.

This ingredient found in the Sebamed moisturiser successfully neutralises these free radicals that can cause premature aging. Its anti-inflammatory effects may also help keep your skin smooth and shiny. Tocopherol acetate’s healing properties may potentially assist in treating acne scars, and help strengthen your skin barrier.

Support Your Skin’s Natural Barrier with pH 5.5

The pH value plays a great deal when it comes to skincare products. In recent times, this term has been widely talked about among dermatologists and skincare experts. “pH” is short for the Latin term “potential hydrogen” and allows us to differentiate acids and bases from each other and label them according to strength.

Scientists have discovered that our skin is slightly acidic. The significance of the acidic nature of the skin’s surface is demonstrated in the “acid mantle”. To avoid damaging this protective layer, dermatologists advise using products with a pH value of 5.5.

All Sebamed products are ideal for every skin type and are perfect for maintaining the acid mantle since they are a pH of 5.5, which is the same pH of healthy skin. The Sebamed Australia product range contains high-quality, safe and effective ingredients which cleanse and nourish the skin without destroying the natural acid protection mantle.

CPAP, or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, is a type of therapy that applies gentle air pressure to keep the airway open, so your airway doesn’t collapse when you breathe while asleep. By minimizing the blockages of the airway, CPAP is used to treat breathing problems such as sleep apnea and chronic snoring and ensure quality night sleep.

Being mature makes you experienced, and smarter, which also gives you the freedom to trust yourself more and to pay attention only to your and the opinion of the important people in your life. Being advanced in age makes you advanced in wisdom as well. As the autosuggestion mantra of the French psychologist’s Émile Coué says: “Day by day, in every way, I’m getting better and better”.

If there’s one word that describes most of us, modern-day people, it’s ‘stressed’. Pretty much anything could trigger stress – from the jobs that we have to the lifestyles we lead and the problems that happen at home. And the worst part is that we’re not immune to it as much as we’d like.

And while we all have bad moments during the day, things get serious when stress becomes chronic and starts affecting one’s health and well-being. This, in turn, depletes the body of the necessary nutrients, leading to vitamin deficiencies, illnesses and certain conditions. Why risk getting to this point when you can try to diminish the impact?

Making the most out of a night’s sleep could turn out to be mission impossible for many individuals. The struggle with poor sleep happens more often than not, with up to a third of Australians experiencing insomnia at some point.

Considering there might be a health issue behind it, in the example of thyroid problems like hyperthyroidism, breathing difficulties, heartburn, kidney diseases, chronic pains, depression, anxiety, neurological disorders to name a few, it’s advisable to pay your doctor a visit to check the possibility of a health problem interfering.

Regardless whether or not it’s health-triggered, there are steps you can take to improve your sleeping environment, starting from the adequate sleepwear. Now that it’s winter, there’s a wide range of womens winter pjs to choose from to keep you cosy and warm and what guarantees this is the material; yes, pjs made from 100% cotton make a great option.

In summer you need something breathable and moisture-wicking to keep you dry, so resorting to natural fabrics is again the answer. On the plus side, you get to be stylish even when you go to bed because there are designs of womens winter pjs and summer with intricate details and versatile patterns to match your unique taste.

Okay, sleepwear aside, the bedding should be chosen carefully as well, knowing how synthetics can be bad for your sleep and well-being in general because they’re full of chemicals, aren’t breathable and don’t absorb moisture so they make your bed hot in summer and cold in winter as opposed to the thermoregulating organic bamboo alternative.

You won’t have to worry about the price now that bamboo is becoming more and more of a trend many have come to love and thanks to its durability it’s an investment that would last you for years. The mattress has a say in it too, though one type doesn’t suit everyone so before you make the decision you have to know how much support it is you require.

If you’re a light sleeper who’s easily disturbed by noises, you must make a quiet environment, block out all the sounds. This can be taken care of with earplugs, seal gaps and cracks, get soundproofing blinds and resort to technology and innovation in the form of noise-cancelling devices.

Last but not least, get rid of clutter. Quality sleep and mess don’t exactly go well together and unless you want your stress elevated it’s time to clear out the bedroom.
