1. Follow a healthy, balanced diet

Fatty, fried foods are difficult for your stomach to digest, often leading to stomach aches and heartburn. Give your stomach a break by avoiding greasy food and instead eating lean meat or fish, as well as hearty helpings of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

2. Do not binge drink

There are many health consequences of binge drinking, but when it comes to your gut, excess acid production is a major problem. This doesn’t just cause heartburn but can worsen other tummy problems, such as IBS.

3. Eat properly

Eating well doesn’t just mean following a healthy, balanced diet. It also means not rushing when you eat, chewing properly, avoiding excessively large meals and sticking to a regular meal routine, which should include not eating for at least 2 hours before bedtime.

4. Quit smoking

Smoking relaxes certain muscles that prevent acid from your stomach from rising up into your gullet. It, consequently, increases your risk of acid reflux. Given the many other health hazards of smoking, it is best to quit. You can ask your GP about local services to help you stop smoking.

4. Reduce your stress levels

Although easier said than done, reducing your stress levels can ease a host of tummy symptoms, such as constipation, diarrhoea and bloating. By lowering your stress levels, you reduce your risk of conditions such as IBS and stomach ulcers too.

Follow these tips and you won’t just enjoy better gut health but also improved general health and wellbeing. Why? Because your gut health affects your immune system and energy levels, which has an impact on the rest of your body.

If you would like to learn more about how your gut health affects your overall well being, talk to Amanda Azzopardi during a free consultation. Call Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics on 07444 938 248 or 0151 558 0742, or get in touch here.

How does the sun damage your skin?

The sun releases UV radiation, which over the years, ages your skin, causing its outermost layer (your stratum corneum) to thicken and harden. The result is tough, leathery skin.

How can you protect your skin from the sun?

Regular skin treatments can reduce the damaging effects of the sun but more important than treatment is prevention. This means wearing sunscreen every day to stop the sun’s harmful UV rays from reaching your skin cells.

What is the correct way to use sunscreen?

Wearing sunscreen correctly from childhood is vital to the long-term health of your skin, however, it is never too late to start.

Sunscreen works in 2 ways: by creating a physical barrier using zinc oxide to block the sun, which is why sunscreen forms a creamy, white paste, and by creating a chemical barrier to filter out damaging UV light.

To be effective, sunscreen needs to be frequently reapplied, especially after going in water or sweating profusely. The higher the SPF rating, the longer the protection you get.

The number after the SPF rating (e.g. SPF 10, SPF 20, SPF 50 etc) refers to how much longer you can stay out in the sun before your skin starts to redden compared with if you didn’t wear that sunscreen. For more on SPF ratings, read this from the Australian Academy of Science.

Is SPF makeup effective?

SPF makeup can give you a false sense of security. It doesn’t provide you with all-day protection any more than regular sunscreen does. This means you need to reapply your SPF makeup as often as you would regular sunscreen.

A helping hand

If you’re already struggling with skin problems through sun damage or otherwise, there are tailored aesthetics treatments that can reverse some of the ageing effects of the sun, pollutants and other factors, when combined with good skincare practice.

To find out which treatments will be most effective for your skin, book a one-to-one consultation at Amanda Azopardi Aesthetics by calling 07444 938 248 or 0151 558 0742, or getting in touch here.

Rosacea symptoms

Rosacea causes inflammation, redness and tenderness of the skin on your face.

It can also affect the skin on your chest and at the back of your neck.

Other rosacea symptoms include:

  • A burning sensation on your skin
  • Red bumps (papules) and pus-filled spots (pustules)
  • Sore eyelids and dry, itchy eyes
  • Spider veins or small blood vessels in your cheeks and nose
  • Thickened, bumpy skin, especially on your nose

Although rosacea is a long-term condition, it often goes through periods of time where symptoms significantly worsen (flare-ups).

What can aggravate your rosacea?

Rosacea makes your skin more irritable and sensitive.

Consequently, fragranced cosmetic and hygiene products can worsen your symptoms.

Certain blood pressure medications can also worsen your symptoms, alongside several lifestyle factors:

  • Drinking hot drinks and alcohol
  • Eating spicy foods
  • Increased stress levels

If you think these lifestyle factors are negatively affecting your rosacea, it is worth avoiding them to see if this reduces your flare-ups.

Exercise can also worsen your symptoms as it naturally increases blood supply to your skin, making it feel hotter, and causes you to sweat, which can irritate your skin.

However, exercise should not be avoided if you have rosacea as it is so beneficial for your overall health.

Treating rosacea

If you suspect you have rosacea, the first step is to see your GP.

They may recommend certain creams or gels to apply to your skin, as well as intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment.

You can also seek help from a professional, Save Face registered facial aesthetics practitioner, as there are several scientifically proven facial aesthetics treatments that can calm your rosacea symptoms.

This includes:

  • Gold toning laser — targeted laser therapy to reduce redness and inflammation
  • Medical grade skincare — skincare products that contain safe and effective concentrations of active ingredients
  • LaseMD Ultra — targeted laser therapy to create mirochannels in your skin which allow powerful cosmaceuticals to penetrate deeper
  • pHformula resurfacing treatment — non-invasive, dermatological skin resurfacing tailored to treat chronic redness

Help is at hand

At Amanda Azzopardi Aesthetics, you can get help to ease your rosacea symptoms from Amanda Azzopardi, your Save Face registered, Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Prescriber in Aesthetic Medicine.
