Now, what exactly does "Holistic" skincare mean?
I feel it is important to be on the same page about the definition because when I have searched holistic skincare the result is often not what I am looking for.
This brings up a whole list of other buzz words being used today:
Holistic
Organic
Natural
Naturalpathic
Alternative
This list gets really long very quickly so I will stop here for now and discuss buzz words in more depth on another post. For now I want to define these five words as they will be used on my blog so we are on the same page.
Holistic: Treating the skin topically with good from the earth plants such as fruits, veggies, and other herbs and essential oils as well as honey and milk. The whole body must be taken into consideration during treatment to get the best results meaning what is being consumed as well as applied also is a factor.
Organic: Comes from the earth not synthetically made in a lab or genetically altered. This does include petroleum and animal products.
Natural: Comes from nature. Can be interchanged with Organic.
Naturalpathic: Using nature and the bodies own systems to heal and protect the body.
Alternative: Outside of conventional medical science.
Now I want to be clear in stating that conventional medical treatments for skin health is necessary and helps many people every day. In my over personal view I feel and think that many people turn to conventional medicine to treat a problem but never find the root cause. Example: Cystic acne - often treated with conventional medicines with good results. Problem is it often returns and the person has no idea why. Returning to the medicine, which is often harsh on the body, but the doctors and person never takes a look at what is being applied to the skin or what may be going on through nutrition that is adding to these types of breakouts. I am not a medical doctor nor will I tell a person to not seek medical treatment. In my skincare I simply want people to take a look at the whole picture and educate them selves, better yet, empower them selves to their total skin health. I am a California State Board licensed Esthetician since 2009, always reading and learning to gain the most educated knowledge possible and I consider myself a dam good at what I do because of it. With that I am your skincare coach. Helping to better understand choices and why what you are doing is affecting their skin. I do not have to worry about selling a specific skincare brand because I am independent, though I do have my favorites (100%Pure). Allowing me to give you my true opinion and expertise on products and treatment procedures.
I hope this post finds you healthy, happy, and beautiful! Look for future posts that will include my holistic approach to skin health, views on products, treatments, DIY skincare recipes, food and beverage recipes, current fads, trends, as well as interviews from other professionals to help empower you to your best skin!
