Blissy's Impact on Skin and Hair
Jenny McAteer praises the benefits of using Blissy pillowcases for both skin and hair. She mentions that Blissy pillowcases help defrizz hair and improve skin health with their smooth, gentle texture. After switching to Blissy herself, Jenny noticed her skin felt softer and calmer.

The Holistic Approach to Skincare
Jenny McAteer emphasizes that skin health is deeply connected to overall body wellness. She explains that facial massages relieve tension and improve blood flow, while balancing the nervous system promotes vibrant skin. Good sleep is crucial, as it prevents dehydration and hormonal imbalances. Jenny also recommends natural sunscreens and morning sunlight for vitamin D. Her holistic approach integrates body and skin care for a healthier, glowing complexion.
Oils and Their Impact on Skin
Consuming certain oils can significantly affect skin health. Jenny advises that seed oils like canola oil can cause inflammation and increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Instead, Jenny recommends opting for healthier cooking oils such as coconut oil or avocado oil. These oils not only support overall health but also help maintain better skin by reducing inflammation and preventing sun sensitivity. Jenny highlights the importance of reading labels and choosing the right oils for cooking to promote healthier skin.
The Importance of Sleep for Skin Health
Poor sleep can lead to dehydration and hormone imbalances, negatively impacting skin health. Jenny McAteer highlights the importance of optimal sleep patterns and bedtime routines for maintaining healthy skin. She suggests aiming for sleep before 11 PM and reducing screen time to improve sleep quality. Establishing a consistent nighttime routine can help your skin regenerate and stay vibrant, ensuring you wake up looking refreshed and radiant.
Sunscreen and Sun Exposure
Jenny McAteer prefers zinc-based sunscreens over chemical ones for healthier skin protection. She recommends using SPF 40 and natural sun protection methods. She also emphasizes the importance of early morning sunlight, which boosts vitamin D production and helps our bodies produce melatonin for better sleep. By combining effective sunscreen use with natural sunlight exposure, you can protect your skin while supporting overall health.
Nervous System and Skin Connection
The parasympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in skin health. Activating it promotes calmness and rejuvenation, benefiting the skin. Jenny shares her techniques to stimulate this system, such as face massages and acupressure. Her morning routine includes face yoga and using a rebounder to reduce puffiness and stimulate the lymphatic system. These practices help maintain a balanced nervous system, leading to healthier, more vibrant skin.
