The Slow Approach embraces hydration, restorative sleep, regular movement, a nutrient-rich diet, and high-quality skincare to support your skin and overall health.

Why Drinking More Water Matters

Hydration is at the heart of slow ageing. Water helps to flush out toxins, boost circulation, and maintain skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

The Slow Approach to Hydration:

1. Drink 2-3 litres of water daily for optimal cellular function.

2. Include herbal teas and water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens.

3. Use skincare with essential oils and plant-based hydration to lock in moisture from the outside.

Slow Ageing Essential Tip: Apply our Essential Facial Essence after cleansing to hydrate, nourish, and strengthen the skin barrier.

How Rest Helps Your Skin Stay Youthful

While you sleep, your skin repairs and regenerates, producing collagen and reversing daily oxidative damage. Poor sleep leads to inflammation, dryness, and premature ageing.

The Slow Approach to Hydration:

1. Aim for 7-9 hours of high-quality sleep each night.

2. Establish a relaxing bedtime ritual, including herbal teas and aromatherapy

3. Avoid blue light exposure at least 1 hour before bed to support melatonin production..

Slow Ageing Essential Tip: Try a few drops of our Essential Firming Body Essence before bed—the calming blend of essential oils helps to relax the mind and body for restful sleep.

The Science Behind Movement & Ageing

Daily movement isn’t just about fitness—it oxygenates the skin, stimulates lymphatic drainage, and reduces stress. Even gentle movement can improve circulation, delivering more nutrients to skin cells.

The Slow Approach to Hydration:

1. Engage in daily walks, yoga, or light stretching to reduce stress and improve circulation.

2. Include resistance training to boost collagen and keep skin firm.

3. Practice breathwork or meditation to lower cortisol levels and prevent inflammation-related ageing.

Foods for Radiant Skin & Longevity

Your skin reflects what you eat. A nutrient-rich diet high in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential vitamins is key to long-term skin health.

The Slow Approach to Hydration:

1. Prioritise omega-rich foods (avocado, nuts, fatty fish) for deep hydration.

2. Include collagen-boosting foods like bone broth, berries, and leafy greens.

3. Reduce processed sugars to prevent inflammation and premature ageing.
