The main differences between a standard facial and a holistic facial is the level of wellness involved in administering a holistic facial. A Holistic facial targets improving overall wellness that is directly connected to lifestyle. Estheticians administering Holistic facials encourage lifestyle transformation and deeper personal connections with clients. Holistic facial practitioners will analyze and assess your diet, exercise, sleep,mental and emotional wellness.
A holistic facial has many benefits. While receiving a holistic facial a client will feel improved mood and reduced stress. A client can also feel reduced congestion. People who suffer from congested sinuses, puffiness, and headaches will inquire about holistic facials because of the many drainage techniques that help counter congestion problems by mobilizing the natural secretions in the skin. This brings up another benefit of a holistic facial which is detoxification through the lymphatic system. Clients will notice an overall better complexion and tone of skin from increased circulation due to the relaxation of muscles and the blood being oxygenated.
Psychophysiological skin problems are skin problems that come about due to stress and other emotional and even mental wellness issues. These include skin conditions such as acne, hyperhidrosis(extreme sweating), urticaria (hives), herpes (oral and genital), alopecia areata (hair loss), and psoriasis (skin scaling). You guessed it! Holistic facials can address this directly. Be mindful that it takes time, attention and dedication for both Esthetician and client. Why? Well the practitioner and the client will develop a deeper more than money relationship because lifestyle and diet will come into question. This is not to be judgmental but instead to examine current habits and see where there are areas of growth. This relationship requires trust and honesty from both parties for best and maximum results.
Diet directly affects the health of your skin. If a client is eating poorly it may show up on their face. The same is true if the client is eating well. Some of the ways diet can affect your skin is fiber intake which aids in digestion, vitamin absorption, including healthy fats, drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated. Water helps further detoxify all of your organs and thus has a direct impact on the elasticity of the skin and the hydration levels of the skin. Another way to keep your skin youthful and glowy is through keeping our blood sugar leveled. Spikes in blood sugar can cause inflammation of the skin such as acne and other skin-health related conditions. Avoid overconsumption of alcohol and caffeine due to their dehydrating effects. Caffeine has benefits such as optimizing cortisol levels and boosting metabolism when taken in moderation and small doses.Salty foods should also be avoided because they increase water retention leading to puffiness and bloating. Your diet can literally show up on your face and overall skin!
Lifestyle changes such as increased exercise, sun (safe sun exposure with sunscreen), and sleep will affect your skin health in positive ways.
