Holistic Skin Care

Holistic skin care proposes that instead of putting stuff inside of our pores and sticking things on our face, we instead expel things from the inside out. In simpler words, have a positive outlook.

There are evidences and professionals who support this type of skincare. There are proofs that our skin does act as an emotional communicator, for instance, if we are shy, we blush; if we are stressed, we get pimples. Doesn’t it sound like a valid reason to ensure a content and happy life for ourselves?

Holistic skin care takes into consideration factors beyond the surface of the skin. Balancing the mind, body, and spirit creates a sense of well being that is reflected in healthy skin.

A good skin care regimen should be part of a healthy lifestyle supported by diet, exercise and contemplative practices to reconnect us with our natural rhythms. All of these factors have an effect on skin health and beauty, and all are a part of holistic approach.

Your skin is probably the most accurate barometer of what’s going on inside of you. This means that unless all of your systems are running perfect, your complexion will not look its very best! The good news is, if you take good care of yourself, physically and emotionally, your skin will look as happy and healthy as you feel.

Health is dynamic; continually influenced by how we live our lives and how we relate to the world around us.
