You may notice skin damage from the summer sun or dryness brought on by the cool fall air. Which is why this month is the perfect time to focus on repairing and replenishing your skin and reversing seasonal damage.

As JK7® co-founder and skin care expert Dr. Jurgen Klein believes, you should never compromise when it comes to your skin and your health. It is important to create a healthy daily routine and diet that works with your lifestyle and by combining the right skin care products and skin care routine you will achieve amazing results.

Continue reading to learn more expert tips from Dr. Klein on how to boost your skin’s radiance naturally this month.

1. Be kind to your skin

Dr. Klein states that “Caring for your skin is similar to caring for your mental health. Let us be gentle and kind to your skin in the same way that we are gentle and kind towards ourselves.”

Being compassionate towards your skin means avoiding harsh products that contain chemicals and preservatives, which will harm your health in the long term.

2. Choose natural and organic skin care products

“View skin care as food for the skin. Never compromise.” Simply put, always feed your skin with the highest natural quality products.

Making an educated natural choice for skin care will guarantee a healthy and vital look throughout your life. Do not fall for false promises and remember that chemical-based and pseudo-natural products do more harm than good. A gentle routine that harnesses the power of nature will work wonders for your complexion.

JK7® products use the world’s rarest and most beneficial natural herbal extracts. Each extract is filled with the highest antioxidants and detoxifying anti-inflammatory agents. This makes JK7® good for your skin and good for your health.

3. Incorporate essential oils into your skin care routine 

Precious, organic, pure and uncompromised essential oils work on a subtle level to cure your body and your mind. When blended into skin care products, these essential oils offer powerful benefits straight from nature’s pharmacy.

For example, Chamomile and Rose Oil are two highly potent essential oils with a long history of use in skin care and beauty.

Chamomile Oil is full of anti-inflammatory agents that reduce puffiness and cleanse your pores. Studies have demonstrated that chamomile flavonoids and essential oils penetrate below the skin surface into a deeper skin level. As a consequence, it calms and heals the skin effectively.

Luxurious Rose Oil is another super oil that creates a toning and astringent effect on the capillaries. This oil tightens pores and helps to smooth out your complexion. Rosa Centifolia oil is loaded with vitamins and antioxidants that effectively treat dryness.

To discover the benefits of these essential oils, try our JK7® Eye Cream. This formulation uses a powerful combination of German Chamomile and Rose Oil to calm, tighten and nourish the delicate area around your eyes. Meanwhile it also effectively treats puffiness and dryness that comes with the new season. Combining JK7® Signature Extracts with high-quality herbal proteins, mucopolysaccharides and vitamins, your skin cells will become supercharged with antioxidants and this will help to prevent signs of aging.

4. Unlock the healing powers of organic healing herbs

Organic herbs containing high levels of antioxidants, nutrients, and anti-inflammatory agents help in healing your complexion. Herbs have been used for thousands of years as healing agents and for the positive effects they have had on our overall well-being. These healing herbs work on a deep level and take effect from the inside out and outside in.

To experience the benefits of healing herbs you can take them internally, in supplements, or blended as extracts into skin care products as we have done.

Calendula and Aloe Vera are two herbs that effectively boost your skin’s functioning.

Calendula heals scars, moisturizes and soothes the skin, and works against wrinkles. A powerful plant when it comes to skin healing.

Aloe Vera is known as the “Plant of Immortality.” This herbal succulent has anti-inflammatory properties and a high concentration of beneficial enzymes. Aloe Vera can be used to treat blemishes, cleanse dead skin, and combat acne.

To incorporate Aloe Vera into your skincare routine, consider using the light and powerful JK7® Day Face Lotion. When Aloe Vera is combined with Calendula, Green Tea Extract, Vitamin C, and Pomegranate extracts, it works together as an antioxidant to combat free radicals and prevent skin damage. This lotion moisturizes and balances your skin with lasting restorative results.

5. Maintain a healthy exposure to sunlight 

We need healthy exposure to sunlight to support our Vitamin D3 production. However, overexposure to constant sunlight is not recommended, as this accelerates your skin’s aging. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun damage your skin’s collagen, elasticity, and pigmentation. This can result in fine lines, wrinkles, and freckles.

Based on your skin type, you should aim to get sensible sun exposure, which could be anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes of direct sun exposure a day. Having that said it is important to spend a few hours outside, walking, hiking, running or whatever it is you like to do, to enhance your wellbeing, however, avoiding direct sun exposure. This will ensure you are getting adequate Vitamin D3 without causing damage to your skin. Adding Vitamin D3 supplements daily is highly recommended. There is lots of scientific evidence, stating that Vitamin D3 is successfully used to heal serious diseases.

By incorporating Dr. Jurgen Klein’s tips for skincare awareness month, you will be prepared to give your skin the care it deserves and achieve beauty at any age.
