Summer brunch season is finally here, and that means mimosas, pastries, and catching up with friends. While we’re all for enjoying a good brunch with friends, it’s important to understand how this can impact our skin. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here’s how you can prep your skin with Address Oasis products to keep it glowing and healthy, no matter how many brunch dates are on your calendar.
Champagne Toasts and Dehydration
We all love a good mimosa, but have you ever noticed that your skin feels drier the next day? That’s because alcohol, including champagne, is a diuretic. This means it increases urine production, which can lead to dehydration. When your skin loses moisture, it can appear dull, and over time, chronic dehydration can accelerate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How to Replenish: Before heading out, use our Triple Butter Body Whip. We recommend the Haven Body Whip as this is a light scent that lingers and will pair perfectly with your favorite perfume. This whip is packed with shea butter, aloe vera butter, mango butter, squalane, collagen, vitamin e, and more skin loving ingredients. These ingredients are known for their deep hydrating properties, creating a moisture barrier that keeps your skin soft and dewy. By applying it before brunch, you’ll help your skin retain its glow.
Sweets and Breakouts
Pastries, waffles, and syrup are brunch staples, but their high sugar content can wreak havoc on your skin. Consuming sugar causes a spike in insulin levels, which can lead to inflammation. Inflammation is a key factor in the development of acne. Additionally, high sugar intake can lead to glycation, a process where sugar molecules attach to collagen and elastin fibers, making them stiff and brittle. This results in the loss of skin elasticity and can accelerate the aging process.
How to Replenish: Combat these effects with our Whipped Foaming Body Scrub. We recommend the Oasis Body Scrub. This scrub gently exfoliates dead skin cells and unclogs pores, preventing breakouts before they start. Organic sugar and pumice powder effectively slough away impurities, while jojoba oil and vitamin E nourish your skin. Use it in the shower before brunch to keep your skin smooth and soft.
Savory Foods and Oiliness
Bacon, sausages, and fried foods are delicious but can increase oil production in your skin. These foods are high in unhealthy fats and sodium, which can stimulate your sebaceous glands to produce more oil. Excess oil can clog pores, even in the skin on your body.
How to Replenish: Balance your skin’s oil levels with our Creamy Body Wash. We recommend the Oasis Body Wash as this scent will layer well with the scrub. This gentle cleanser removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera liquid and almond oil help to hydrate and soothe, ensuring your skin feels clean and balanced. Start your brunch date with this body wash to keep your skin fresh and ready for anything.
Coffee Fix and Dullness
A cup of coffee is often a brunch essential, but caffeine can dehydrate your skin and reduce blood flow, leading to a dull skin. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels and reduces circulation, which can deprive your skin of oxygen and essential nutrients. This can make your skin look tired and lifeless.
How to Replenish: Rejuvenate your skin with our Seven-Oil Body Serum. We recommend adding a few drops of the Haven Body Serum to the matching body whip. This serum blends jojoba, avocado, rosehip, argan, and baobab oils to deeply moisturize and improve elasticity. These oils are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which help to boost skin regeneration and circulation. Apply it alone after your body wash or add it to our whip for an intense moisture. This will counteract the dulling effects of caffeine.
Long-Term Skin Health
With regular brunch outings, your skin is regularly exposed to these stressors. Incorporating Address Oasis products into your daily ritual ensures that your skin stays supple and beautiful, ready for every brunch date.
Go ahead, enjoy that mimosa and those pancakes—we’ve got your skin covered.
