Many people think their gut is only important for eating and drinking to get energy, nutrients and keep hydrated, but it affects so much more – your whole body and well-being.

The health of your gut is linked to

• Immunity

• Mental health

• Heart health

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is not a medical condition that can be diagnosed by a doctor. Instead, it is usually a symptom of another condition, such as eczema, dermatitis or dry skin. Many people do not know they have sensitive skin until it becomes itchy or inflamed by a cosmetic product or environmental irritant.

Sensitive skin usually feels dry, itchy or flaky. Sometimes it can crack and bleed. At other times it may peel or feel rough and bumpy. Sensitive skin can happen on most parts of your body, but it is especially common on the hands, feet, lower legs and arms.

There are several treatments for dry or sensitive skin. The best place to start is by cutting out soaps, shampoos, creams and cosmetics that contain parabens, fragrances or surfactants. Check the product label to see if the products you currently use contain any of these. Also, avoid hot showers or baths, as hot water can dry and irritate your skin.

If you have mild eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis, talk to your local pharmacist about their over-the-counter skin care products. Also, remember to drink plenty of water and use a good quality moisturiser designed for sensitive skin. Try to stay cool and avoid sweating, and if you are heading out into the sun, use sunscreen that has been approved for use on sensitive skin. Choosing loosefitting cotton clothing and dressing in layers is also a good idea.
