Howcan you strengthen your skin’s natural defence?

Protecting your skin’s barrier is essential for overall skin health. Here are practical tips to combat daily skin aggressors:

1. Establish a Consistent Skincare Routine: Develop a simple but regular skincare regimen that you can stick to. Commit to it for at least three months to see noticeable improvements. Consistency is key to protecting and enhancing your skin’s natural defences.
2. Daily Cleansing: Use a soap-free cleanser daily, especially if you live in an urban area or wear SPF. Cleansing at night removes any lingering particles, pollution, or makeup. Morning cleansing is optional; if you’ve washed before bed, a simple rinse with water is sufficient.
3. Hydration and Moisturisation: A healthy skin barrier relies on proper hydration. Start your day with an SPF moisturiser of at least SPF 30 and UVA 4* protection. This shields your skin from harmful UV rays. At night, use a moisturiser that aids in skin recovery and repair. Consider products with ingredients that neutralise pollution particles for added protection.
4. Wear SPF Daily: SPF is crucial for your skin’s long-term health, as UV rays are present every day, regardless of weather or season, and their effects accumulate over time. Dr. Rashmi Shetty recommends a technique called Double Sunscreening— applying first sunscreen which is a mix of physical and chemical components and then applying a second sunscreen which is 100% physical for enhanced protection. Also, the internal sunscreen comprises Ra supplements like Ra Bright, Ra Defence and Ra Vitamin C+
5. Be Mindful of Sensitive Skin: If your skin is struggling, choose foods thatreduce inflammation, such as leafy greens and other vegetables. Avoid foods that make you feel bloated, as they can lead to an inflamed gut and, subsequently, inflamed skin. Incorporate workouts, make lifestyle changes.

Additionally, not everything can be obtained from food, that’s where you need some supplements to fill that gap.

Ra Defence: Enriched with traditional ingredients like ginger, turmeric, piperine, milk thistle, and beta carotene, Ra Defence effectively reduces inflammation—the root cause of many skin and beauty issues.
