A holistic health approach means looking at the whole body as opposed to just treating the symptoms. It acknowledges that our environment, physical, emotional and mental states can have consequences for our health. To restore and improve overall health and balance, we need to take everything into account.
When it comes to skin care, a holistic approach means we must nurture it from the inside. The appearance of skin depend on many factors -- from the ingredients used in products and foods, lifestyle choices, environmental stressors as well as our emotional and mental well-being.
NOURISH YOUR SKIN WITH THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS
- Skincare is long-term and is meant to nurture the skin inside and outside.
EAT YOUR SKIN BEAUTIFUL
- The healthier your diet, the healthier the skin and it will show on your face.
WATER
- Water is the epitome of beauty from within.
EXERCISE
- Sweating during exercise can help detox the skin and improves circulation.
SLEEP
- A restorative period for our body and skin to rejuvenate, renew and regenerate.
LESS STRESS
- Find a personal way to deal with stress and relax more, meditate, and exercise. Stress is the biggest culprit for diseases.
MORE PAMPERING
- Give yourself permission to relax, de-stress, and release feel-good hormones.
DEFEND AGAINST SUN EXPOSURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS
- Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible, and, if you must be in the sun, always wear sunscreen or a big hat.
AVOID HARSH, OIL-STRIPPING CLEANSERS
- Use cleansers that remove makeup and impurities without drying the skin.
AVOID OVER EXFOLIATION
- Be careful of the enzyme peels and heavy-duty glycolic acid masks and they can disrupt the acid-mantle and pH balance.
KNOW WHEN TO OPT FOR PROFESSIONALLY FORMULATED PRODUCTS VS. HOMEMADE
- Invest in products that you cannot effectively or safely formulate at home.
