5 Tips To Brighter, Healthier Skin in 30 Days

The heat of summer makes you sweat and the debris that it leaves behind may clog your pores and cause skin problems.  Acne, eczema and rosacea are just a few dermatological issues that can develop in response to a dirty environment, excessive heat, stress or dehydration.  

Follow these 5 tips to getting brighter, healthier skin in 30 days.

Use SPF Moisturizer: Sun damage is the no. 1 cause of visible premature aging of the skin and may result in fine lines, wrinkles and inflammation.  Even if you’re only in the sun for short periods of time, it’s still important to use a moisturizer with at least an SPF15 everyday. For extended time in the sun, a broad spectrum sunscreen which protects against both UVB (burning rays) and UVA (aging rays) is the key when choosing a sunscreen.

Take Your Vitamins: Whether you get your vitamins through food (the optimal way) or take supplements… Vitamins A & C, and Essential fatty acids can help revitalize sluggish skin by strengthening the cell walls.

Drink More Water: The more water you drink the more hydrated your skin will become.  When your skin is dehydrated it begins to look dull and cause wrinkles.

Decrease Stress: When stress takes over, so do breakouts.  Exercising just 3 times/week can clear-up stress induced skin problems.

Facials: Keep pores cleansed and skin exfoliated by receiving a facial at least once a month to every six weeks.  Facials slough off dead skin cells, calm inflammation and create a rejuvenating glow.

What is Holistic Health?

 

At Metta Touch we emphasize a holistic approach to our wellness and beauty treatments. But while most people recognize the term “organic” the meaning of “holistic” may seem unfamiliar to many of you when considering our spa services. Please, do not be afraid!

 

Holistic health is merely a concept that all potential contributing factors which may affect a person's well-being (physical, social, environmental and mental), are taken into consideration when assessing a person's overall health.
 
It’s about using products that are natural and organic to heal skin issues and revitalize. Often, people suffering from such conditions as acne or rosacea are prescribed creams or medication full of harmful chemicals and toxic ingredients for temporary relief. A holistic approach to skin treatment is using alternative remedies that come from plant extracts and essential oils to naturally treat the symptoms of the disorder as well as recognizing the underlying cause of the reaction.

 

Holistic healing dates back to at least 5,000 years originating in India and China. Some of the most well respected philosophers, like Socrates recognized this idea that overall health is a combination of physical, mental, emotional social and spiritual well-being.

 

Whether you suffer from a hormonal imbalance, excessive stress or an environmental issue, each holistic treatment helps us focus on the whole person, rather than just the part of the body that is not healthy, for an overall sense of harmony and balance.
