Effective skincare requires consistency. But sometimes, even when we are diligent with our routine, stubborn conditions can seem to linger longer than expected. The Osmosis philosophy is based on the fact that what we see on our skin is a direct reflection of the goings-on inside our body. So, to help speed up the results you're looking for, it might be time to take your regimen up a notch. We are diving inside the body and targeting the internal source of your skin concerns, paired with your twice-daily skincare routine, to help you get those results you're looking for, faster!

Diet.

Many skin concerns such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea are visual reactions of digestive imbalances. Though you may have all the right products to treat such conditions topically, you will significantly boost effectiveness and long-term healing by examining your food choices. Candida is a yeast overgrowth caused by certain foods that contain a high sugar content such as fruits, wine, and even some grains. This can negatively alter your gut microbiome and can cause a multitude of digestive disturbances resulting in a break-out. Choose foods such as leafy greens, salmon, citrus, and ginger to help combat candida overgrowth.

Supplements.

Osmosis offers several all-natural supplements to help boost clear skin through products that work in congruence with the natural processes of our bodies. Complete is a digestive enzyme supplement that matches our own pancreatic enzymes to help break down food more effectively, increase nutrient absorption, and ease digestion. Take with meals to increase results when conquering rosacea and acne on the forehead and cheeks. Environmental Detox is another great supplement that works to detox the gut and cells with natural ingredients like raw cacao, DIM, and charcoal. Take daily along with your regular skincare routine to help fight melasma or rosacea near the nose.

Seek a Professional.

If you have skin concerns that are just not going away, it may be time to find an aesthetician. The skin is the largest organ, and it deserves to be cared for! Just as you feed your body and brush your teeth everyday, it is so important that we cleanse and tend to our skin daily as well. That being said, everyone's skin is unique and should be treated as such. We do not believe in a one-size fits all routine. Seek a Skincare Professional to get a tailored protocol special to YOU and your unique concerns for maximized results and effectiveness.

Masking.

Masks can enhance your results in a big way. They are like an extra boost of nutrients and nourishment to your skin, enabling it to heal itself overtime. Choose a Mask with specific benefits based on your main concern to take your skincare routine to the next level. Apply your mask and take about five to ten minutes to yourself. While it goes to work to heal and repair for beautiful skin, you can take a warm bath, read a book, or just take those few minutes to enjoy a quiet room. Do you really need more of an excuse to get away from it all?

Hydration.

Ensuring proper hydration from the inside out is key to healthy, beautiful skin. Keeping your body hydrated by drinking enough water will help promote nourished skin and boost its ability to repair itself. Don't forget a Moisturizer in your routine! This should be applied as the last step in your twice-daily regimen to enable collagen and elastin production. Dry skin is prone to wrinkles and fine lines and a quality moisturizer is one of the easiest ways to keep them at bay! Finally, top it all off with an Activating Mist. Not only do they hydrate, but they will also ensure optimal product penetration. We want our products reaching deep into the skin, past the epidermal barrier to increase their effectiveness. Just another easy way to boost those skincare results!
