b'WELLBEINGIN RECENT YEARS, the concept of wellbeing has shaped our lifestyle philosophiesand skincare is no exception. The health of our skin is no longer treated in isolation. Instead, innovative nutri-cosmeceutical skincare is addressing the nutritional health of the skin, and leading the way is the British brand Oskia. Oskia was founded on the theory of nutrition, inside and out, says Skibos Spa Manager,\x1fBelinda McWilliam, who was responsible for introducing the brands face and body treatments to the Skibo Spa.\x1fIts products harness the properties of a compound called MSM, which has been shown to be incredibly beneficial to skin health.The advantages of MSM, an organic natural sulphur that supports over 150 processes in our body, became apparent to Oskias founder Georgie Cleeve after a skiing accident left her with cartilage damage. Cleeves fatherWellnesshad pioneered the use of MSM as a joint supplement for racehorses and, knowing its benefits, suggested she try it.\x1fNot only did MSM have a marked effect in aiding Cleeves joint regeneration, she also discovered a welcome side effect: it calmed her\x1facne and eczema and generallyfrom improved the condition of her skin, hair and nails.\x1fThis light-bulb moment led Cleeve on a mission to maximise the powers of the super-star ingredient and ultimately create the unique nutritional approach to skincare that Oskia has become known for. The brands2 5patented MSM Regen Complex is at the heart of the Oskiawithinrange. It is\x1fvital for boosting collagen and elastin and helping to decrease inflammation, and is combined with vital cell nutrientsminerals, vitamins, proteins and essential fatty acidsin a range of topical tinctures, supported by skin-nourishing supplements.With its bespoke regimens and holistic approach,At the Skibo Spa, skin is cared for at a deeper level, Oskia is at the pinnacle of the Skibo Spa experience.
