Holistic Esthetics

Holistic doesn't necessarily mean natural - this is the most common myth. A holistic esthetics approach views skincare as interconnected with the whole body, mind, and spirit, meaning an esthetician considers a client's overall health, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. Addressing the root causes of skin concerns rather than just surface-level treatments.

A few examples of holistic healing modalities in esthetics.

Lymphatic drainage: This natural method of detoxing the body can easily be incorporated both at the spa and at home using gua sha, dry brushing and facial massage. By manually stimulating the lymphatic system, this technique enhances the body's natural detoxification process, improving overall immunity and reducing illness risk.

Aromatherapy: The practice of using essential oils for therapeutic benefit. Essential oils can help treat general health issues and promote healing properties such as clarity and peace. Diffusers can help you breathe easily, help enhance mood and congestion. Herbal hot towels can provide benefits like muscle relaxation and help product absorption.

Sound therapy: Sound therapy is a healing technique that uses singing bowls, music, and other vibratory inputs to improve a person's physical and psychological state. It can change agitated brain waves into calm wave forms, which can lead to a more relaxed state and calm the nervous system.

Mental health in esthetics.

Mental health plays an important role in skin health. Stress and anxiety cause the release of different chemicals and hormones as well as creating inflammation in the body with can lead to unsightly skin disorders like acne, rashes, premature aging, etc…

Mind - body connection: Holistic esthetician wellness recognizes the connection between the mind and body. By addressing emotional and mental factors that may contribute to skins concerns. This mind-body connection promotes not only healthy skin but also improved mental clarity and emotional balance.
