Destination: Healthy Skin, Naturally! by Allie Herrera

WELCOME! Are you ready for your journey to the healthiest skin you've always deserved? I'm so excited you're here! You've joined a revolution with thousands of other women and you're about to discover your best and happiest skin possible. I know you're busy, so trust me, I won't waste any time getting to the good stuff. My name is Allie and I wear many hats. I'm a full-time working mum in my 40s, and I don't have patience or energy to spend more than a few minutes on my skincare routine morning and night. I've tried pretty much all the brands out there - some more complex than others, but nothing that rolled everything I wanted into one... until I found Tropic. Now I have everything at my fingertips: results, green credentials, business ethics, affordable prices (especially when using the saving bundles) and all in a short time frame each day. My customers always tell me that using their skincare is now a joy instead of a chore - a sentiment I echo 100%! Instead of synthetic ingredients (used as fillers, harming our skin and environment) these multi award-winning skin saviours are pure, plant-based product. Not only do they harness the awe-inspiring power of nature without any animal cruelty, they also last much longer than you might have thought, because a little goes such a long way. The products mentioned in this book are carefully formulated with the optimum molecular weight of ingredients, to maximise their performance in reaching and nourishing all the different layers of your skin. If an ingredient is not beneficial, it doesn't make it into the product! Moreover, our infinite purpose - for a healthier, greener, more empowered world - inspires thousands of women like you and me every day. From our Carbon NEGATIVE production to our charitable support (e.g. every £50 spent funds a day of education for children in the most remote, vulnerable communities), right through to the empowerment of women in the UK through healthy skin and business opportunities, I could not be prouder to be part of this movement, and I can't wait for you to join us.

With love and the best of health, always,

Start Your Engines: What to Know Before We Go

While the writing and design of this book are my own, the information is based on training from Susie Ma, CEO of Tropic Skincare, to whom all credit for research and scientific data is due.

1. Start Your Engines What to Know Before We Go w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

Skin Structure Our skin is split into two main layers that sit on top of the hypodermis or subcutaneous tissue (a layer of fat and connective tissue). The top layer of skin is called the epidermis, where there are different types of skin cells responsible for myriad duties: our sense of touch, defence against microbes, melanin production and keeping our skin barrier intact. The bottom layer is called the dermis, which contains collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid – each with a different, yet equally important, role in the quality and health of our skin. Let’s start from the dermis and work our way up.

THE DERMIS, PART 1: COLLAGEN

Younger skin with more collagen and elastin.

Mature skin with less collagen and elastin.

The dermis contains all of our collagen - a strong protein which acts as scaffolding to give our skin strength and rigidity. However, collagen production in the skin falls by 1% each year after the age of 20, hence the loss of volume in the skin as we age.

When developed to the right molecular weight, certain ingredients such as vitamins C and E are ingeniously designed to penetrate right to the dermis, where they can stimulate collagen production. These are even more effective when used at night!

w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

THE DERMIS, PART 2: ELASTIN The dermis is where you will find elastin - another protein - which gives our skin its elasticity. Younger skin with more collagen and elastin.

Like collagen, elastin production depletes with age – this leads to sagging skin and enlarged pores.

UVA Protection Superhero Mature skin with less collagen and elastin.

Sun Day Facial UV Defence

UVA also affects the elastin in the skin, leading to wrinkles and leathery, dry skin - so using daily UVA protection is key. "Sinks into the skin superbly. No white ghostly streaks. Doesn’t irritate my skin especially my eyes. I’ve tried numerous sun creams and l have to say this is the best." (Maria) w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN BOOSTING SUPERHEROES "It hydrates my skin, smells and feels amazing and has definitely reduced those wrinkles!" (Danielle E)

Elixir Age Defying Oil

"This amazing night cream helps with elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles and smells amazing! I’d never use anything else now!" (Joanne B)

"The results are amazing, soft, plump and smooth skin with a fresh dewy appearance." (Christine S)

Glow Berry Brightening Serum

"my Botox in a tube" (Jackie M)

"Fantastic little miracle pot which has really helped my eye area look much better, smoother and fine lines are less visible" (Kath S) Skin Dream Age Defying Cream Concentrate

Eye Dream Age Defying Overnight Eye Cream & Eye Work Rejuvenating Serum

THE DERMIS, PART 3: HYALURONIC ACID (Pronounced hy – a – loo – ron – ic) This powerhouse sugar molecule can absorb 1000x its own weight in moisture; it keeps the skin hydrated (but also beautifully plump – babies have loads of it and that’s why they’re so damn lovely to smush!). You guessed it though – it also depletes with age. Once we reach our 60s, we'll have just a quarter of the hyaluronic acid we were born with! Hyaluronic Acid Superhero

Rainforest Dew Serum

"This serum is so lightweight, it looks and feels like water but the effect is of a rich hydrating cream. I have very dry skin and after using this product I sometimes don’t even need to moisturise my skin, it feels that nourished and quenched." Bryony Blake - Celebrity MUA

"This is one of the best skincare products I’ve ever used. Within a couple of days there was a noticeable difference. I actually use a lot less moisturiser too as it hydrates so well." (Patricia)

"This product is like a real drink of water for my skin & I have really noticed a difference. It more balanced, less red and definitely more bouncy." (Emma)

w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

THE EPIDERMIS, PART 1: LIPIDS Imagine your skin is a brick wall made of skin cells; the lipids are the 'mortar' holding those bricks together. All of the lipids and skin cells form a part of our skin's barrier, preventing external bacteria from entering and keeping moisture locked in. However, lipids deplete with age (are you spotting the theme yet?) which can cause cracks in the skin barrier, leading to dehydrated skin from moisture loss and inflammation as bacteria enters from the outside world. As our skin cells age, they move upwards to make way for the new cells that are being produced underneath. As they move, they flatten and die. We have about 20 layers of these dead skin cells on the surface. This is why our skin can look dull as we age – the renewal process slows down the older we get. "This is a game changer. It's as if it changes my hands into an exfoliating mitt." (Paula)

Brightening Scrub Superhero

Face Smooth

w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

THE EPIDERMIS, PART 2: ACID MANTLE Above all those layers of dead skin cells is a thin film of sweat and sebum (an oily substance). This thin film is called the acid mantle which has an acidic pH of around 5.5. Your acid mantle is important as it's the optimum pH for helping to your skin's microbiome: a diverse community of good microbes which forms our final line of defence. Our microbiome helps to defend against attack from bad microbes, so it’s crucial for healthy skin function. Those with skin disorders such as eczema and acne are found to have a less diverse skin microbiome, and so their skin is less able to defend itself against bad microbes, leading to inflammation and irritation.

Microbiome Balancing Superhero

Pure Lagoon Serum

"After years have having awful painful acne this has cleared it up to the point I actually can't believe this is my skin! [I've spent] hundreds of pounds on skin care products and they never worked! But now I can honestly look at my skin and feel so confident!" (Erica) "I have always suffered with bad acne, right into my twenties, and even began a course of roaccutane. This serum has been amazing on my skin. It has really cleared up any blemishes and hasn't been too harsh on my sensitive skin as with most blemish products." (Emily)

2. Bumps in the Road Factors That Affect Our Journey w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

INTRINSIC FACTORS (Responsible for Skin Type) Intrinsic factors are the ones we can't control: our age, genetics and our hormone levels. Age and genetics determine how sensitive our skin is, how thick it is, how it reacts to UV rays and so much more. Our skin also varies greatly depending on sex and ethnicity. Hormone levels fluctuate greatly for us throughout our lives - puberty, menopause, our monthly cycles all affect us greatly. This matters because hormone levels determine the amount of sebum our skin produces. Oily skin types have excessive sebum production all over, Dry types don't have enough sebum; combination skin has varying oil levels; balanced skin has an even sebum production. You can check your skin type by simply observing how dry or oily your skin is first thing in the morning.

p37

EXTRINSIC FACTORS (Responsible for Skin Condition) Extrinsic factors are the ones we have slightly more control over: our exposure to pollution, UVA/B rays and our lifestyle. Pollution is devastating for our skin. The free radicals found in exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, industrial processes and so on, damage the vitamins and proteins in our cells - and these are essential for healthy skin function. We need antioxidants to counter these free radicals, which protect and repair our skin at a cellular level. Moreover, the sun's UVA and UVB rays are the main creators of free radicals in the skin and account for 80-90% of our skin's ageing! UVA rays break down our collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid – the crucial components in keeping our skin strong, elastic and plump. We should wear SPF 30 every day, even in less sunny climes! Other extrinsic factors are our lifestyle choices which lead to the quality of our diet, sleep, exercise and levels of stress, all factors that contribute to the amount of free radical build-up in our body - requiring antioxidants. "Sun Day sinks into my combination skin without leaving it oily, it acts as a good base under make-up, doesn’t block my spot prone skin and doesn’t leave my skin chalky or with a white cast." (Karen)

"Glow Berry glides on your skin beautifully and makes it feel lovely and soft." (Samantha) "The results are amazing, soft, plump and smooth skin with a fresh dewy appearance." (Christine)

3. Nourish

4. Exfoliate

5 Steps to Healthy Skin w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

The first step is always cleansing. This is crucial because it removes the build-up of free radicals, excess sebum and dirt - not to mention makeup!

CLEANSE

It's best to do your skincare routine as soon as you get home. Don't let all of the above sit on your face for longer than they need to! The best first step to cleansing is our Smoothing Cleanser, an oilbased cleanser that works in harmony with your skin to support your acid mantle. The free Bamboo Face Cloth is the perfect accessory to help steam your pores, offer mild exfoliation and aid in the cleansing process. If you have oily or combination skin, follow with a second cleanse using Clear Skies or, if your skin is very oily, Clear Slate. w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

Your skin cells, just like every other living thing, need water to live; properly hydrated skin will enable all your skin functions to perform at their optimum: renewal, sebum regulation, microbiome balancing, and building more collagen and elastin.

HYDRATE

Hydration is the number one skin concern to address before trying to do anything else with your skin. All of our products are designed with hydration in mind. They contain humectants (such as hyaluronic acid) that draw moisture from the air and into the skin. Plant juices from aloe vera, watermelon and cucumber also provide instant hydration. Try our Vitamin Toner, Deep Hydration Mask and Rainforest Dew Serum. w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

Our skin needs essential fatty acids and ceramides to keep the lipids within our skin barrier topped up. (Remember the mortar in between our brick wall of skin cells?)

NOURISH

Nourishing our skin barrier helps to keep it strong, repair any cracks, and keep it supple and healthy. We have a range of different nourishing formulas to suit different skin types, from Skin Feast to Skin Dream, Super Greens to Elixir, and Eye Work to Eye Dream. Nourishing our skin is an act of self-care, so take the time to work out exactly what your skin needs and remember to always moisturise, at the very least around your eyes (a place where we lack sebaceous glands and skin is up to 40% thinner than the rest of our face). If you're unsure about what your skin might need, contact me on email or socials, or consult the pages on different skin types. w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

Exfoliation helps speed up the skin renewal process that slows down as we age. By removing the excess layers of dead skin cells and exposing newer skin underneath, exfoliation provides a radiance-boost for skin, refining and smoothing the complexion.

EXFOLIATE (1)

There are different options of exfoliation to experiment with depending on your skin's needs - physical, enzyme-based and chemical. Enzymes exfoliate by eating up our top levels of dead skin cells. They are water-activated, so you'll find them in our Clear Skies (top picture) and Clear Slate. Physical exfoliation can be achieved by using our Bamboo Face Cloth during cleansing to provide a gentle daily exfoliation, or our Face Smooth to provide a much stronger, weekly exfoliation which physically buffs away dead skin cells for instantly smoother, softer skin. w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

Chemical exfoliation with Tropic involves the use of naturally occurring acidic ingredients to dissolve the 'glue' that fixes our dead skin cells together, encouraging them to shed faster.

EXFOLIATE (2)

Water-soluble acids are perfect for dry, ageing and dull skin types. You'll find them in our Face Lift Mask and our powerhouse serum Fruit Peel which not only brightens your complexion but also stimulates collagen production. We also use oil soluble acids which can travel into oily pores to exfoliate, decongest, and minimise their appearance – the perfect acid for oily, blemish-prone skin. These are found in our Clear Skin Mask and Ocean Dive Serum. As important as exfoliation is for your skin, it's key not to over-exfoliate! Start gently, take time to allow your skin to tell you what it needs. w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

The final step in our journey to healthy skin is to protect our skin against environmental factors to help keep it resilient and strong.

PROTECT

Protect against UV rays (responsible for 80-90% of our skin's ageing, remember!) with our range of sunscreens and SPF makeup. Protect against free radicals (the nemesis of essential vitamins and proteins) in the environment with our antioxidant-rich skincare, such as Glow Berry Brightening Serum. Protect against bad microbes through strengthening skin's microbiome with Pure Lagoon.

4. Navigating Time Zones Tune into Your Skin's Natural Rhythms w w w . t r o p i c s k i n c a r e . c o m / a l i s o n h e r r e r a

The Morning Commute Our bodies run on a 24-hour biological clock, right down to a cellular level; this is called our circadian rhythm. During the day, your skin prioritises maintaining its acid mantle to protect it against the elements, which is why your sebum production is at its highest during daylight hours, peaking in the early afternoon. If you're blemish-prone, our Pure Lagoon is great to help reduce excess sebum and fight bad bacteria throughout the day. Or, for a powerful extra boost of antioxidants, a little bit of Glow Berry will protect against pollution. Finally, remember that UV protection is crucial - wear at least SPF 30 every day. You'll find that in our Sun Day and makeup.

The Night Shift At night, our skin diverts on a different route. Firstly, our sebum production decreases, and our skin becomes more permeable, which is bad news in that it leads to an increase in moisture loss, but also good news since it also increases our ability to absorb more active ingredients. Our evening routines are therefore the perfect time to focus on hydration and nourishment. Rainforest Dew will help top-up hyaluronic acid levels in our skin to keep it dewy and plump, while for drier skin types, Skin Dream, Super Greens and/or Elixir will aid in repairing and strengthening your skin's barrier. Secondly, our skin is focused on renewing itself at night: cell proliferation is 30 times higher at night compared to midday. This is the ideal time for chemical exfoliators (Fruit Peel or Ocean Dive) to give you glowing skin overnight. It's also a great time to use Glow Berry, with its active Vitamin C, to build more collagen while you get your beauty sleep.

SERIOUSLY UNHAPPY SKIN - ROSACEA / PSORIASIS / ECZEMA / REDNESS / IRRITATION / SCARRING

Please see all advice on the pages for sensitive and extremely sensitive skin. One of my favourite success stories comes from a customer who was suffering from rosacea. This is her story:

"I just can’t thank Allie & Tropic enough. I started getting bad flare ups of rosacea 2 years ago, winter being a problematic trigger for my many outbreaks. Then Super Greens came into my life. Along with the ABC ritual & the magic in a pot that is tamanu balm, my skin is now calmed and a lot less sensitive and angry looking. I can’t believe the results in such a short time frame, literally the next day after my first treatment it was looking so much better. I couldn’t live without it now! I like to use the tamanu as a skin barrier before I go out on cold windy days for walks. My skin feels and looks nourished & I just feel so much better about my appearance. "

Elixir is a beautifully nourishing oil which you may also find brings you relief. Packed with omega-rich ingredients that nourish and hydrate the skin, it also stimulates collagen production thanks to the Vitamin E. "This has changed my skin and for the first time in 20+ years, my hands and face are no longer itchy red with open cuts."
