What does holistic health mean?

Here at SkinGloss, holistic health is always on our mind. But what exactly does that mean – and what does it have to do with skincare? When we think about health holistically, that means we aren’t just thinking about the physical health of our body. In fact, there are five aspects of holistic health that combine to create our overall health: physical, emotional, social, spiritual and mental health. When combined, these five areas allow us to live happy and full lives. If one area is compromised, it’s very likely another area will be affected negatively. With a holistic approach, we cannot treat one area without addressing them all.

HOLISTIC AESTHETICS

This same concept applies to our skin health as well! When clients come to us with skin concerns like acne or pigmentation, we aren’t only looking at the surface level issue. We will also ask you questions about your lifestyle and well-being. Here are some of the topics we’ll address as a holistic skin clinic (a.k.a. things your general doctor or dermatologist might not go over):

Nutrition

Are you fueling your body with healthy, whole ingredients? Your skin needs vital vitamins and nutrients to thrive. Processed foods with excess sugar or carbs won’t benefit any aspect of your health, and might be making your skin conditions worse.

Hormones

Many of us have experienced hormonal acne flare-ups, especially around that time of the month. Hormone imbalances can wreak havoc on the body, skin included. Our diet and lifestyle have more affect on hormones than we might realize.

Stress

Stress and anxiety impact the skin – they can make conditions like rosacea and eczema worse and even trigger acne. We know how stressful life can be and encourage clients to look for small ways to care for themselves everyday. One of our favorite stress relievers is exercise! Whether it's hitting the gym or the yoga studio, moving your body can make big improvements to your mental health.

Products and Skin Services

We pay close attention to the ingredients in our skincare products. Our line of products is scientifically formulated to give our clients’ skin the ingredients it needs and nothing extra. By incorporating a holistic approach in our treatment rooms, we give our clients the starting point for their holistic health journey. Are you ready to start yours?
