Healing our skin, ft. our favourite tools

We talk a lot about skin as something to fix.
But more often than not, it’s just responding to how we’re living.

At Zadig, healing skin isn’t about chasing perfection or layering more products. It’s about returning to the basics — warmth, nourishment, rest, and regulation.

These are the tools we come back to again and again:

Soft routines
Consistency over intensity. Gentle rituals you can return to, even on busy days.
A small tip: choose just one to three rituals that don’t feel overwhelming. We love our honey mask from Activist at night. Five to ten minutes is enough. Something you’ll actually do.

Warmth
Heat slows everything down. It helps the body soften, exhale, and let go.
When the nervous system settles, the skin often follows.

Infrared saunas are one of our favourite ways to support this — not to push, just to pause plus it gives us that extra skin glow.

Nourishment
What we consume matters. Hydration, minerals, collagen, and simple whole foods support the skin long before anything topical does.

We love adding tremella mushroom from Superfeast to our teas and coffees, and the Imbibe Beauty Renewal and collagen to our water — easy, supportive, nothing complicated.

A regulated nervous system
Stress shows up on the skin quickly. Tight jaw, shallow breathing, restless sleep.

Simple practices help:
legs up the wall
slow breathing
a few minutes of stillness before bed
leaving space between things

Small pauses can change how the body responds.

Tools that support flow
Dry brushing, gua sha, red light therapy, not as quick fixes, but as gentle ways to support circulation, recovery, and repair.

We love our dry brush and gua sha from the Wooed, and adding the red light tower to our sauna sessions when the body feels like it needs extra support.

There’s nothing extreme here.
Just care that feels sustainable, human, and grounding.

Healing skin takes time.
And we believe that’s a good thing x
