What does holistic health have to do with gorgeous skin? Far more than many people think. Beauty experts are tasked with teaching and guiding their customers not just toward beneficial products, but to lifestyles and daily skincare that reveal truly healthy complexions.
Basic, healthy skincare is simple, so beneficial practices can be overlooked. Beauty professionals provide a comprehensive consultation process with Observ skin analysis to look into deep skin layers and create personalised treatment plans. Get in touch with our dealer to discover which Observ system suits you the best.
We’ve gathered 6 of our favourite healthy skin practices that can keep the body’s biggest elimination organ supple and soft. Combined with precision skin analysis tools, you can provide guidance to empower customers with knowledge, images of results, and lasting radiance that’s easy to maintain.
Sunscreen Is Recommended Every Single Day
When advising customers about healthy skin maintenance, you know that prevention is key. However, even when the sky is overcast and we’re spending more time indoors, sun and blue light protection is critical. In fact, we’ll dedicate an entire blog post just to this topic!
Your skin is exposed to the sun’s rays through windows, and during time outside no matter the weather. We recommend applying a daily moisturiser with SPF30+ to the face, neck, back of hands and chest.
Keep Your Skin Moisturized
Hydrated skin looks and feels healthy. Some who struggle with oily skin or acne mistakenly believe they should skip moisturizers. You can let them know it’s all about balance and choosing the right products for resilient skin.
The best time to apply body moisturiser is after a bath or shower when the skin is damp and hydrating nutrients are better absorbed.
Get Enough Sleep, Best Is To Sleep On A Silk Or Satin Pillowcase
Do your customers realise that sleep deprivation may take a toll on their skin health? You can demonstrate dehydration and skin damage not seen by the naked eye using Observ skin analysis tools during your consultation.
We recommend avoiding puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles, and skin dullness in a few simple ways.
- Sleep at least 8 hours per night
- Avoid face-down sleeping,
- Use silk pillows to reduce facial friction and hair tangling!
Healthy Eating Means Healthy Skin
Let your customers know that avoiding sugar and processed foods can help clear up and brighten their complexion. Refined and fried foods are not ideal for health and wellness, but because the skin is an elimination organ, we often see signs of toxin purging and poor nutritional intake here first.
Omega fatty acids produce moisturizing lipids, vitamins act as antioxidants, and new research ties healthy gut microbiomes to skin health as well.
Stay Hydrated
Most people could benefit from drinking more pure water, but their skin will benefit too. Drinking more water is excellent for your whole system, and it’s great for your skin.
Besides flushing your organs with adequate hydration intake and applying quality moisturizer, a humidifier in the home throughout the drier months can help maintain comfortable moisture levels.
Stimulate Blood Flow
Exfoliation, dry brushing, and lymphatic massage are DIY practices everyone can do at home and they cost nothing.
Sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy habits like smoking are known to decrease circulation to the skin. As well, our skin cells turn over more slowly as we age. Dullness, dark spots, and fine lines can be improved along with the appearance of cellulite using a dry brush and massage technique at home.
You can show your customers their skin layers through advanced analysis and imaging, then direct them to beneficial exfoliation products and techniques they can use every day to boost their radiance.
Can Easy At-Home Practices Improve Skin Health?
Your customers have more power than they think to maintain beautiful skin. Reputable aesthetic experts are positioned to teach the importance of skin health, while they provide transformative repair and improvements.

The worldwide shift to all things digital accelerated in the past year. Before the pandemic hit early in 2020, dermatology and aesthetic medicine researchers were already investigating the potential role that blue light emanating from digital devices plays in skin ageing and hyperpigmentation.
A general, global shift toward online work combined with the fact that most people carry smartphones like an extension of themselves, means substantially more exposure to radiation in the blue-light wavelength.
It is well established that blue light may suppress melatonin and contribute to sleep disorders. But what effect is it having on the skin? Does blue light cause the same premature ageing, cellular damage, and increased cancer risks that UV rays do?
While research is ongoing and more investigation will reveal definitive risks, skin experts and product creators are taking initiative to formulate protective, restorative treatments that mitigate blue light damage. Here’s what you need to know.
What Exactly Is Blue Light?
On the visible light spectrum, there are several colours, including blue. The remaining rainbow includes:
- Green
- Blue
- Indigo
- Violet
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
These colours combine for what we experience as white light. The sun is our primary source of blue light. LED (light-emitting diode) and fluorescent light sources also give off blue rays linked to growing concern over cellular damage for eyes and skin.
Blue-Violet (400 nm – 460 nm) can trigger melatonin suppression and an increased heartrate so it has been linked to sleep disorders and cardiac issues. High-energy violet/blue light ranging from 400 to 500 nm in the visible spectrum has also been linked to age-related macular degeneration.
Researchers are asking serious questions about eye strain and vision impairment related to blue light as more people report these effects. However, skin changes aren’t as obvious, and we’re only recently beginning to understand cellular changes that increased blue light exposure may cause.
Is Your Smartphone Or Laptop Screen Causing Blue Light Damage?
What does the research say? Some suggest that negative blue light effects are stronger among darker skinned individuals because they are prone to hyperpigmentation. Supporting this are visible pigmentation changes in test participants with dark skin, documented after prolonged, controlled exposure to blue light.
Skin is a major target for oxidative stress, and common signs of ageing such as fine lines or dark spots are linked to light exposure. Since our faces collectively bath in the glow of computer screens daily, we can expect to see fallout in the form of cellular damage over time.
And we do. Recent studies show exposure of human skin to light emitted by electronic devices for as little as 1 hour leads to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cell apoptosis, or cellular death. Light sources such as LEDs which have emissions in the blue wavelength (400-490 nm) have been analyzed for short-term skin effects.
Repeated, ongoing effects are still somewhat of a black box, and research continues. In the meantime, skincare companies are becoming savvy to increased consumer awareness and concern in this area.
Read on to learn about next generation skin analysis for blue light damage.
Empower Your Customer to Protect Their Skin From Blue Light
We’re certain no one plans to stop scrolling and snapping selfies on their phones, nor are we moving away from computer screens as a society. However, there protective measures you can recommend to clients.
Some dermatologists suggest wearing sunblock while working on computers at home, just as you would when heading outside. Physical sunscreen containing Zinc Oxide protects against blue light.
You can also offer customers unparalleled, in-depth analysis of their complexion before creating a personalized treatment plan. Many people are unaware of the toll sun-damage and blue light take on their skin. Observ 520x lifts the veil for powerful assessment not possible with the naked eye. Enhance every aesthetic consultation with increased “skin awareness,” unbiased proof of existing conditions and the ability to track the evolution of their improvements. Enhancing the consultation and treatment experience strengthens customer loyalty. You’ll also gain valuable before and after photos for expectation management, illustrating procedures and boosting your marketing
