26 2 Tuesday [Edition datE] June 28 2016 HEALTH & BEAUTY WESTERN NEWS Transitioning skincare through the seasons Skincare expert and facialist Clemency Alice has a passion for beauty and organic skincare. Recently travelling to Paris and Australia to further her knowledge, she shares her secrets. the tRAnSition from summer to autumn can have a major impact on your skin’s overall condition and appearance. if the new season catches you unaware and unprepared, your skin can become very dry, extremely sensitive, lacklustre and more susceptible to breakouts. This is due to the change in oil flow – which was on an all-time high during summer – and the vitality of the ‘skin glow’ waning as cooler temperatures plummet, constricting blood vessels. here’s what you need to know to ensure your skin stays prepped and primped for the change of season. PReSeRVe youR liPid BARRieR if you remove this protective skin barrier through more aggressive methods of overcleansing and over-exfoliating, then the skin cells aren’t prepared and your skin becomes more vulnerable to the extreme temperatures and external elements of wind, sun and rain. A way to protect and maintain hydration in your skin is through spritzing your face after cleansing with a floral facial mist then locking the moisture in with your favourite facial oil or moisturiser. SwitCh moiStuRiSeRS opt for a creamier, rich texture in your moisturiser that has antioxidant, super skin-boosting ingredients. Select moisturisers that contain hyaluronic acid (skin plumping and hydrating), vitamin C (antioxidant and uV-protecting properties), shea butter (moisturising and protecting), and rose (softening, anti-inflammatory, hydrating). And for those with oilier skins, opt for a balancing facial oil with lavender (restorative and calming) and jojoba (balancing to the acid mantle, protecting and antiinflammatory). PRoteCt youR Skin Just because summer is a distant dream, keep applying a chemical-free SPF daily, and opt for a seperate sun-care product with a minimum of SPF30 rather than relying on sun protection from your foundation. inSide And out Beauty and skin health can come from within: • Ensure you drink plenty of water. • Drink organic green tea (helps prevent tewl – trans-epidermal water loss). • Eat seasonal fruit and vegetables. • Drink green smoothies. • Boost your intake of essential fatty acids. • Go for a brisk walk amongst nature to revive your autumnal ‘glow’. • Maintain your skin sparkle with restorative beauty sleep.

2 WESTERN [Edition NEWS datE] Tuesday June 28 2016 27 heaLth & BeautY Hayfever sufferers receive much-needed attention Christchurch’s new allergy clinic is making headway in the fight to cure people of horrible allergy-related symptoms. Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis, affects 1 in 5 people in australia and New Zealand. These sufferers have numerous symptoms including nasal congestion, eye irritation, sinus infections and also suffer from fatigue and poor quality sleep. These symptoms in children have been shown to impair learning and performance and in more frequent absenteeism and reduced productivity in adults, and overall cause a considerable impairment in a person’s quality of life. The South Island allergy Service, a new clinic that runs in private rooms in Upper riccarton has recently opened its doors to people who have endured - sometimes many years - of torturous allergic effects. Dr alisdair Webb, the lead clinician at the allergy Service, says, “Somewhat ironically the Garden City has had very little in the way of allergy support for patients and health practitioners for many years but here at SIaS we have specially trained clinicians who can fill that gap and offer a friendly, welcoming environment to diagnose, investigate and treat allergic symptoms.” De-SeNSItISatIoN: tHe CloSeSt tHING to a CUre The most exciting aspect on offer is the availability of desensitisation, or immunotherapy. Dr Webb continues, “immunotherapy uses tiny amounts of the responsible allergen to build up the tolerance of the body so it switches off the allergic reaction.” Immunotherapy has been around for hundreds of years in different forms and has been perfected over recent years, moving away from injections to the more convenient forms available today. after diagnosis this is now done at home in the majority of cases with minimal clinic input. a key first step is to determine what the responsible allergen is through skin prick testing. avoidance of allergic triggers is always the number one priority but in many cases, either living/employment situation or even proximity to pets can make this impossible. asthma and eczema are two conditions that are greatly influenced by allergens present in the air. although allergy treatments are limited to children over 5 years old this is exactly when these conditions are becoming more apparent. “The numbers of sufferers we see is enormous”, says Dr Webb, “and being able to accurately and safely test them, with even a chance to offer long-term relief through desensitisation can be lifechanging.” Hayfever alert The winter period is the time to commence desensitisation for pollen allergies as the body takes time to build up a tolerance. establishing the trigger for the hayfever now and commencing desensitisation is essential for a spring period free from symptoms. for those allergy-sufferers requiring regular visits to the doctor, repeated medications and frequently missing out on activities and sleep - it would appear that there is hope in our midst, an accessible allergy clinic in the garden city. all further details are available at www.allergyservice.co.nz Contact us for your: Allergy diagnosis and treatment Skin Prick testing Lung Function testing Allergic Eczema and Asthma consultation Desensitisation start now for spring hayfever relief Personal Accessible Precise 4 Yaldhurst Rd (inside Riccarton Clinic) | www.allergyservice.co.nz
