The Ozempic Glow Is Trending... But Can Weight Loss Dull Your Skin?
If you're part of the beauty scene—or even if you're not—you'd be hard-pressed not to have heard of Ozempic. Ozempic (and other GLP-1 medications) have become a hot topic, especially amongst celebrities, who have transformed themselves on the drug due to its ability to help manage weight loss and metabolic health. One of the most talked-about side effects of Ozempic use is the so-called ‘Ozempic Glow’—a radiant, clearer complexion that many users report as their blood sugar stabilises and inflammation decreases. And it's true, metabolism can improve skin health, but rapid weight loss also comes with challenges, including dehydration, sagging, and loss of plumpness. So, how do you keep your skin firm, luminous, and healthy while shedding pounds? Let’s break it down... Why Weight Loss Affects Your Skin Your skin reflects what’s happening inside your body, and metabolic shifts—whether from diet changes, medication, or weight loss—can have dramatic effects. The Ozempic Glow comes from improved insulin sensitivity and reduced inflammation, which can make skin appear smoother and more vibrant. However, weight loss, particularly when it happens quickly, can also lead to:Dehydration – Losing water weight can strip moisture from your skin, making it look dull and dry.Loss of Elasticity – The fat that once supported your skin diminishes, potentially leading to sagging, especially around the face.Increased Sensitivity – As your body adjusts to metabolic changes, your skin may become more reactive or prone to irritation.But don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to keep your skin glowing, hydrated, and firm as your body transforms. The Glow-Up Formula: Diet, Hydration & SkincareIf you’re on a weight loss journey, prioritising skin health is key. Here’s what you need to focus on: 1. Hydrate—Inside and OutDrinking plenty of water is essential, but your skin also needs topical hydration to maintain its elasticity and glow. Pro tip: Look for hyaluronic acid, a powerhouse ingredient that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, keeping skin plump and dewy. Try: The Skin & Tonic Hyaluronic Acid Serum - Plump Up - will give you an instant moisture boost. 2. Feed Your Skin with the Right NutrientsA balanced diet rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and collagen-supporting foods helps strengthen and nourish the skin from within. ✔️ Omega-3s (found in salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts) reduce inflammation and dryness.✔️ Vitamin C & Antioxidants (from berries, citrus, leafy greens) support collagen production.✔️ Healthy Fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) keep skin supple and moisturised. 3. Protect and Strengthen Your Skin BarrierWeight loss can make your skin more sensitive, so it’s important to use gentle, nourishing skincare to maintain balance. Soothe & Refresh: The Be Soothed Rose Mist is packed with anti-inflammatory properties to calm and hydrate stressed skin.Lock in Moisture: The Calm Balm provides deep hydration, restoring softness and elasticity with rich, organic oils. The Bottom LineWeight loss and metabolic shifts don’t have to mean sacrificing glowing skin. By staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and using gentle, replenishing skincare, you can maintain a radiant, youthful complexion—whether you’re experiencing the Ozempic Glow or just looking for healthy skin at any stage of your journey. Your skin should reflect your healthiest, happiest self—and with the right approach, it will.

Cleansing Balms 101: How They Work and Why They’re a Game-Changer
As the colder months set in, our skin begins to feel the shift. That tight, dry feeling after washing your face? It’s a sign that your usual cleanser might be doing more harm than good. As you age, skin naturally starts to lose moisture. If thats you, it's time to rethink your skincare routine and a cleansing balm might just be the upgrade you need. Cleansing balms are solid-to-oil cleansers designed to dissolve makeup, dirt, and impurities from your skin without stripping away its natural oils. Unlike traditional foam cleansers, which can leave your skin feeling tight and dry, cleansing balms are formulated to maintain the skin’s moisture barrier. The Calm Clean Cleansing Balm is made with a blend of nourishing natural ingredients like jasmine, blue chamomile, and lavender oil. This luxurious balm transforms into a silky oil upon contact with your skin, gently removing grime while keeping your skin soft, soothed, and hydrated. 'As temperatures drop, your skin naturally produces less oil, leading to increased dryness and potential irritation. During this time, switching to a cleansing balm like Calm Clean can make all the difference in maintaining healthy, glowing skin.' What is a cleansing balm? Cleansing balms work by breaking down the oils in makeup and sunscreen. The principle of “like dissolves like” comes into play here—oil-based balms effectively melt away the oils and impurities on your face without disrupting your skin’s natural moisture balance. The Calm Clean Cleansing Balm is particularly effective at removing stubborn, heavy makeup. Whether you’re wearing long-lasting foundation, waterproof mascara, or bold lipstick, this balm tackles it all, leaving your skin fresh and clean. Simply massage the balm onto dry skin, focusing on areas with heavy makeup, and watch it melt away. Add a bit of warm water to emulsify, then wipe off with a muslin cloth or rinse thoroughly. Why Cleansing Balms Are a Game-Changer for Dry Skin If you suffer from dry skin, especially during the colder months, traditional cleansers can exacerbate the problem. Harsh cleansers strip your skin of essential oils, leading to tightness, flakiness, and discomfort. This is where cleansing balms come in as a game-changer. The Calm Clean Cleansing Balm is formulated with nourishing ingredients that not only cleanse but also hydrate and soothe the skin. Chamomile adds an extra layer of comfort with its calming properties, making this balm perfect for those who experience sensitivity or redness during winter. Benefits of Using Cleansing Balms in the Colder Months As temperatures drop, your skin naturally produces less oil, leading to increased dryness and potential irritation. During this time, switching to a cleansing balm like Calm Clean can make all the difference in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Here’s why you should incorporate a cleansing balm into your winter skincare routine: Gentle yet Effective: Removes dirt, makeup, and impurities without harsh rubbing or stripping your skin of moisture.Hydration Boost: Ingredients like grape seed oil and beeswax deeply hydrate, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin.Soothing: Chamomile works to calm irritation and redness, making it a soothing choice for winter skincare. Using a cleansing balm might seem a little different from traditional cleansers, but it’s straightforward and easy: Start with Dry Skin: Apply a small amount of the balm onto dry skin. Gently massage in circular motions, focusing on areas with heavy makeup.Emulsify: Add a little warm water to emulsify the balm, turning it into a milk-like consistency.Rinse or Wipe Away: Use a warm, damp muslin cloth to gently wipe away the balm and all the impurities, or simply rinse with water.Follow Up: Finish your routine with a hydrating toner, serum, and moisturiser.

Why Rose Water for Your Face is a Must-Have in Your Skincare Routine - Especially During Menopause…
Let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a little bit of pampering? Especially when it comes to something as timeless and luxurious as rose water. This beauty secret has been around for centuries, and it’s still a must-have in any modern skincare routine. Why? Because it’s not just about feeling fancy—it actually works wonders for your skin. Whether you're dealing with dryness, redness, or just need a midday pick-me-up, rose water’s soothing, hydrating properties can help. And if you’re navigating the ups and downs of menopause (hello, hot flushes!), then Skin & Tonic’s Be Soothed Rose Mist might just become your new best friend. Here’s why this versatile, all-natural skincare essential deserves a prime spot on your bathroom shelf—and in your handbag... The Benefits of Rose Water for Your Face Hydration and Refreshment One of the main reasons rose water has earned its place in so many beauty regimes is its incredible ability to hydrate and refresh the skin. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, rose water provides light hydration without clogging pores. A quick spritz of Be Soothed Rose Mist throughout the day can instantly rejuvenate tired skin, offering a cooling burst of moisture. For menopausal women, who often experience dryness due to hormonal changes, rose water is a simple, effective way to maintain moisture levels and keep skin looking radiant. It’s Soothing for Sensitive Skin If you suffer from sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea, eczema, or even post-sun irritation, rose water can be a game changer. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for calming redness and irritation. This makes it a perfect addition to your routine if you need something gentle yet effective. Cooling Relief for Hot Flushes One of the lesser-known but highly beneficial uses of rose water is its ability to cool down the skin—something every woman dealing with menopause will appreciate. Hot flushes can come on unexpectedly, leaving you feeling overheated and uncomfortable. Want a life hack? Leave your Be Soothed Rose Mist in the fridge overnight, then pop it in your bag for a super refreshing spritz that will keep you cool on crowded trains and of course, when those hot flushes emerge! “Carrying Be Soothed Rose Mist in your bag allows you to quickly mist your face and neck for immediate relief. The cooling effect of the mist helps to regulate temperature, making it an essential item for any woman navigating this stage of life. The light floral scent also provides a calming sensory experience, helping to soothe both your skin and your mind.” Balances and Tones the Skin Rose water is not only hydrating but also acts as a natural toner. It helps to balance the skin's pH levels, tighten pores, and reduce excess oil production, making it suitable for all skin types. Using rose water as part of your morning and evening routine can improve skin texture and clarity over time. After cleansing, simply spray Be Soothed Rose Mist across your face to help restore your skin's natural balance. It’s a great alternative to traditional toners, which can often contain harsh ingredients that strip the skin of essential moisture. How to Incorporate Rose Water For Your Face into Your Routine Adding rose water to your skincare routine is incredibly easy. It can be used in a variety of ways depending on your needs and skin type: Rose Water as a Toner: After cleansing, apply rose water with a cotton pad or simply mist your face to tighten pores and hydrate the skin. Rose Water as a Mid-Day Refresher: Keep Be Soothed Rose Mist with you to refresh your skin throughout the day, especially when you feel it becoming dry or irritated. Rose Water For Makeup Setting: A light mist of rose water can help set your makeup, giving your skin a dewy glow without disturbing your look. Rose Water as Menopausal Hot Flush Cooling Relief: Keep the mist nearby to combat hot flushes when they strike. Spritz your face and neck for an immediate cooling sensation that also nourishes the skin. Why Choose Skin & Tonic’s Be Soothed Rose Mist? At Skin & Tonic, we pride ourselves on using only the finest natural ingredients. Our Be Soothed Rose Mist is made with organic rose flower water, free from artificial fragrances, parabens, and harsh chemicals.

With schools officially open and most children back at their desks - notebooks, backpacks, and uniforms have been top of the shopping list. But, skincare essentials should not be overlooked.

Nurture and Renew Your Skin This Autumn with Bio Retinol
As the leaves begin to turn and the air becomes crisp, our skin faces a new set of challenges. The cooler months can be particularly tough on our complexion, especially for those with sensitive or menopausal skin. The transition from warm, humid summer days to the drier, cooler autumn air can leave skin feeling tight, dry, and in need of extra care. This is where Daily Renewal Bio Retinol Moisturiser steps in as the perfect seasonal companion. Why Autumn is a Challenging Time for Your Skin: Bio Retinol to the Rescue... Autumn brings a drop in humidity, which can lead to dry, dehydrated skin. You may already be experiencing changes in texture, elasticity, and moisture levels. Additionally, the transition from summer to autumn often involves increased exposure to indoor heating, which can further deplete your skin’s natural moisture barrier, leaving it more vulnerable to irritation and redness. For those going through menopause, the shift in hormone levels can exacerbate these seasonal skin challenges. Skin may become more sensitive, drier, and prone to redness and irritation. This makes it crucial to choose skincare products that not only hydrate but also support the skin’s natural renewal process. The Power of Bio Retinol for Sensitive and Menopausal Skin Traditional retinol is a powerful ingredient known for its anti-aging benefits, including promoting collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and improving skin texture. However, it can sometimes be too harsh for sensitive or menopausal skin, leading to irritation, dryness, and redness. Our Daily Renewal Bio Retinol Moisturiser offers all the benefits of retinol without the drawbacks. Here’s how it works: Gentle Yet Effective: Bio Retinol, derived from the Bidens Pilosa plant, is a natural, gentle alternative to synthetic retinol. It delivers the same skin-renewing benefits—such as improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and promoting a more even skin tone—without the irritation. Deep Hydration: Our formula is enriched with nourishing botanicals like hyaluronic acid and shea butter, which provide deep hydration, helping to restore and maintain your skin’s moisture balance. This is particularly important as the cooler weather can strip your skin of its natural oils. Soothing Properties: For those with sensitive or menopausal skin, our moisturiser also includes calming ingredients like aloe vera and rosehip oil, which help to soothe and protect the skin, reducing redness and irritation. Revitalise Your Skin: As your skin’s renewal process slows down with age, especially during menopause, it’s essential to boost cell turnover. Our Bio Retinol formula encourages this process, helping to reveal fresher, younger-looking skin. Protect Against Environmental Stressors: The antioxidants in our moisturiser help protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV damage, which can be more pronounced in the autumn months. Adapt to the Season: Unlike many heavy creams that can feel suffocating on the skin, our moisturiser is lightweight yet deeply nourishing, making it perfect for layering under makeup or wearing alone for a natural, hydrated glow.
