Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, celebrated in September, is an important reminder to prioritise your health and stay informed about prevention and screening.

Almost all cervical cancer cases are linked to persistent infection with high-risk types of HPV (human papillomavirus). The good news? Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, with HPV vaccination, regular screening and early treatment of precancerous changes playing a vital role in prevention.

South Africa is also working towards the WHO goal of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem by 2030, with increased focus on HPV vaccination, screening and treatment.

💗 Know your risk. Know your screening options. Talk to your healthcare professional.

At New Lease Wellness, we believe that preventative healthcare is an important part of looking after your health, not something to put off until there is a problem.

As the seasons change, your skin can change too. Warmer weather, increased sun exposure and changes in humidity can all affect how your skin behaves, making spring the perfect time to take a fresh look at your skincare routine.

But spring-cleaning your skin doesn’t mean throwing everything out and starting again. The best routine is one that is suited to your skin’s needs.

🌸Start with a skincare check-in

Take a look at what you’re currently using. Are you dealing with dryness, breakouts, sensitivity, pigmentation or excess oil? Your skin’s needs may have changed since you last reviewed your routine.

This is where expert advice can make all the difference. At New Lease Wellness, we can help you understand what your skin needs and recommend products that work together, rather than simply adding more products to your bathroom cabinet.

🌸Keep the essentials in place

A good skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. A gentle cleanser, appropriate moisturiser and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen form the foundation. From there, targeted ingredients such as retinoids, exfoliating acids, antioxidants or acne treatments can be added according to your individual needs.

And remember: more active ingredients do not necessarily mean better results. Using too many strong products at once can irritate your skin and compromise your skin barrier.

🌸Explore the right products for you

One of the benefits of visiting New Lease Wellness is access to a wide range of professional skincare brands and products, giving you more choice when it comes to finding the right fit for your skin.

Whether your focus is acne, ageing, pigmentation, sensitivity or simply maintaining healthy skin, our team can help you navigate the options and build a routine that is effective, practical and realistic.

This spring, don’t just spring-clean your bathroom cabinet. Spring-clean your approach to skincare. 🌿

Spring brings more than pretty weather. Your body notices the change too. 🌿

Longer days and more daylight can influence our sleep patterns, energy levels and daily routines, while warmer temperatures are a good reminder to stay hydrated, protect your skin from the sun and make the most of getting outdoors.

But Spring isn't everyone's favourite season... 🌼

For many people, warmer weather also means more pollen in the air, which can trigger seasonal allergies. Sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes and an irritated throat can all be signs that your body is reacting to seasonal allergens.

So as the days get longer, pay attention to what your body is telling you.

More daylight? Get outside.
Warmer weather? Hydrate and protect your skin.
Persistent allergy symptoms? Don't simply suffer through them.

Here's to enjoying Spring, with a little more awareness of what our bodies need.

You cleanse your face, wash your pillowcases and carefully choose your skincare products, but when was the last time you cleaned your phone?

Your phone is one of the most frequently touched objects you own. Throughout the day, it collects oil, sweat, makeup residue, dust and bacteria from your hands and the surfaces around you. When you hold it against your cheek, these unwanted passengers can transfer directly onto your skin. Heat, friction and the pressure of the phone against your face may also contribute to irritation and breakouts, particularly around the cheeks, jawline and chin.

This doesn't mean your phone is causing your acne, but keeping it clean could help reduce one potential source of irritation and contamination. Dermatologists also recommend avoiding unnecessary touching of your face, as this can contribute to acne flare-ups.

Make phone hygiene part of your skincare routine

For a simple extra step towards healthier-looking skin, wipe down your phone regularly, ideally once a day if it frequently touches your face. Use a cleaning method that is compatible with your specific device and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. You can also use earphones or speaker mode to reduce direct contact between your phone and your skin.

A clean phone won't magically clear acne, but it's a small hygiene habit that could help minimise one of the everyday factors contributing to breakouts.

Your skincare routine doesn't stop at your bathroom mirror. Sometimes, clearer skin starts with cleaning what you touch most.
