Free Radicals – What Are They and Why Do We Talk About Them?

Free radicals are small, highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron that form constantly in the body, for example in energy production and in fighting germs; smoking, air pollution and UV radiation can increase them. When there are too many free radicals or too few antioxidants, the state is called oxidative stress, which can damage cells over time. The body’s own antioxidants and those from food (berries, green tea, dark chocolate, vegetables, fruit, wholegrains and nuts) keep the balance; the best antioxidants come from food, not from supplement bottles. This is general information, not medical advice.

Five Tips for Protecting Your Skin from the Effects of Blue Light

To protect your skin from blue light, keep it moisturised, protect it from the sun, get antioxidants from food and skincare, use blue-light filters and lower your screen brightness, and take regular screen breaks. Blue light from screens and sunlight is thought to penetrate deeper skin layers, increase free radicals and affect collagen, which can leave skin dry and ageing earlier. Also stop using screens at least an hour before bedtime, because blue light disturbs the sleep hormone melatonin.

The Benefits of Dry Brushing for Health and Beauty

Dry brushing is a gentle morning skin routine in which you brush dry skin with a brush or mitt in strokes towards the heart. It is said to boost circulation and lymphatic activity, remove dead skin cells, give skin a healthy glow, help prevent ingrown hairs and support the look of firmer skin. Five minutes a day is enough, and it should always be done with light, gentle strokes.

The Basics of Skin Cleansing: Why and How to Cleanse Your Face

Cleanse your face morning and evening to remove dirt, pollution and product residues, prevent inflammation, help skincare products absorb better and support skin renewal and radiance. Cleansing should be gentle: choose natural-cosmetics-quality products that do not dry the skin. A cleansing oil such as RimitaOats facial cleansing oil dissolves dirt, sebum and makeup while nourishing the skin, and is especially suitable for dry, atopic and sensitive skin.

Anne Kyllönen – The Spark for Skiing Ignited at Age 2 and Still Burns!

Anne Kyllönen is a skier whose spark for skiing ignited at the age of two, and who says she loves even the weather many people dislike: sleet, slush and cold. In an Olympic year she sticks to familiar camps and training. Several showers a day and constant sweating strain her skin, and she says Rimita’s shower oil and hand soap solved the problem: her dry hands disappeared entirely and she no longer needs separate moisturiser, except occasionally for the face.

The Downsides of Alcohol in Deodorants

Not all alcohols in deodorant are the same. Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is strongly drying and can weaken the skin’s protective layer, causing dryness, redness, itching or stinging, especially on freshly shaved or sensitive skin. Cetearyl alcohol, in contrast, is a long-chain fatty alcohol made from coconut or palm plants that acts as an emulsifier and thickener and can even calm and protect the skin. RimitaDeo eco deodorants contain cetearyl alcohol but no ethanol, and are also baking-soda-free and aluminium-free.
