In our last blog we talked about the importance of Skin Barrier Function and how damaging or weakening it can result in skin problems and premature ageing. One of the most common things we do to weaken our skin’s barrier is to over wash. We tend to cover our entire body with soap or body wash in an attempt to avoid body odor. But this practice also strips our skin of its protective oils and damages our skin’s important microbiome. This is where the concept of targeted hygiene comes in. The secret is that our body odor glands are only found on specific areas[...]

Our Skin Barrier Function is an important part of having healthy, beautiful skin and it is a term I think you are going to hear more and more about. Unfortunately, many treatments and products we are encouraged to use damage or weaken our skin barrier. So, I would like to explain what Skin Barrier Function is. This knowledge will empower you to make great skin decisions in the future. The concept of Skin Barrier Function acknowledges the fact that the main role our skin plays is that of a barrier. It keeps our insides in, otherwise we would be a shapeless blob on[...]

One of our Janesce fans recently said that one of she so enjoys about Janesce is the lovely feeling of waking up to velvety, soft skin. I can relate to what she is saying and it is something that I also appreciate about my Janesce skincare. Her comment stuck in my mind and I kept coming back to it. Then I realised why.

An odd term and one you wouldn’t come across unless you read geeky book[...]

There are many advantages to having a hydrated skin but one of the best is that your skincare products will absorb so much better into the deeper layers of the skin.

This means that your skincare is so much more effective when combined with a soaking ritual. That isn't all! Because Janesce products contain far less water than most skincare products, you m[...]

A few days ago I was asked how Janesce skincare products support anti-ageing of the skin. I must admit I hesitated as this isn’t as easy to explain as it is with some skincare ranges. Often you can point to one or two key ingredients in a range and talk about the anti-ageing benefits they offer but this is harder with Janesce. The reason it is harder is that Janesce has a very broad range of anti-ageing benefits. It contains high levels of very concentrated plant medicine. Each plant used offers at least six benefits for the skin and this is as a minimum, many[...]
