Are Holistic Facials Just Fluff?
Holistic facials are not a quick fix like deep peels, lasers, or injections. Instead, it embraces ancient beauty rituals, the body’s amazing ability to heal itself, and the slow beauty philosophy.
What Is Slow Beauty?
Slow beauty is giving yourself permission to slow down and allow the mind and body to connect. It’s being mindful the products you choose are clean, sustainable, and ethical. It’s taking little moments for yourself to practice self-care, whether it be facial gua sha, self-massage, meditation, yoga, or simply sipping a cup of hot tea.
Slow beauty is a lifestyle. It means avoiding products or procedures that may provide an instant result, but potentially lead to health issues down the road. Instead, it’s choosing skincare and self-care rituals that stimulate a gradual change in your overall wellness.
Slow beauty embraces the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or Ayurveda. It doesn’t focus on fixing flaws, but instead focuses on wellness and healing. When healing takes place and qi (our life force according to TCM) flows freely we will naturally glow and reveal the beauty within.
Healing Benefits Of A Relaxation Facial
Stress is a huge factor affecting our skin health and how we age. Holding tension in our face decreases circulation and lymphatic flow. We need blood and lymph to flow freely in order to release toxins and bring nutrients into our tissues. Tension can also lead to more wrinkles, fine lines, asymmetry in the face, headaches, and TMJ pain.
My clients love how relaxing a holistic facial is. A great majority of the facial focuses on soothing massage, and ancient beauty techniques such as gua sha, and facial reflexology.
Never underestimate the healing powers our own bodies possess when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, and we go into rest and digest mode.

The Power Of Touch
Human touch is a basic human need. We need touch to thrive. Skin-to-skin contact is vital for emotional and physical health. Healthy touch stimulates our body to produce natural anti-depressants. It can even help build a stronger immune system.
