Living Holistically is the catch word of the times. We are living  with exhaustion both mentally and physically. We are too pressurized for time. 

In the light of such a situation, it becomes very important to take care of our physical and mental being. To get that natural healthy looking glow, we need to work towards achieving it. This Article is all about how you can get natural healthy skin through a holistic approach to skincare.

What Is Holistic Skin Care About?

It goes deep. It is a comprehensive approach that looks at skin as an integral part of our overall health and wellbeing. Holistic Skin care is all about finding the root causes of skin problems like those that arise due to poor digestion, stress and nutritional deficiencies. The idea behind this regime is to ensure healthy and glowing skin from the depths. In short, the holistic approach to skin care is one that considers the whole person, including their lifestyle, diet and overall health to determine the best way to care for their skin. 

In skincare, one area of your life impacts another and has a direct link to all that shows up on the surface. If you want to have that beautiful healthy glowing skin, then you  need to focus on what you are eating, what you are thinking, your lifestyle habits that includes exercising and practicing a good skincare routine with products

Five Measures For Adopting the Holistic Approach :

Your skin is a reflection of all that is going on inside of you. This implies targeting out your diet, stress level and hormones. Skin being the largest organ in your body plays a vital role in keeping you healthy to fight off infection and disease. So you need to :

• Manage Stress: 

In a stressful situation, the body’s immune response often goes into overdrive. This leads to inflammation and flare ups. Stress weakens the skin barrier function. It is advised to keep your skin well moisturized. Use a rich hydrating cream to hydrate your skin and strengthen its barrier.

• Eat A Balanced Diet:

You are what you eat. Digestive System imbalances or gut imbalances lead to inflammation and sensitive skin. For a healthy gut you need to consume foods with antioxidants and phytonutrients that reduce inflammation in the body. Your plate should be portioned in parts with organic vegetables like peas and beans, small number of whole grains like brown rice or quinoa and some protein like chicken or eggs and definitely do not miss out on your fibers that include cucumber and carrots. Eating plenty of fruits aids in healthy skin care.

• Stay Hydrated:

This is one of the easiest and best skin care treatments. By drinking water, the cells in the body become hydrated and flushes out toxins and impurities at the cellular level. Drinking water delays sagging and premature appearance of wrinkles and fine lines thus slowing down aging. Adequate water intake helps to maintain a healthy gut and aids in fine digestion. Also be sure to rub in that fragrant free soap during your bath time routine. This way you can be sure that perfumes don’t dull your shine.

• Add Supplements to Your Diet Routine:

While a healthy diet high in nutrients helps attain that healthy skin, additional supplements also aid in holistic skin care. This includes intake of supplements like minerals and fatty acids like fish oil. Supplementing with multi vitamins also helps. Vitamin C aids in increased collagen production that is directly associated with better skin appearance.

• Get Enough Sleep:

Poor sleep results in faster aging and poor skin conditions. Losing out on sleep means skin losing structure, elasticity that can lead to skin that is no longer firm, glowing or smooth. Keep away from gadgets as exposure to blue light before bedtime makes it more difficult to fall asleep. Make sure that your room is quiet, dark and has a cool temperature. Use accessories that reduce noise and light distractions like earplugs and blackout curtains.

Research points out that individuals who are sleep deprived are less attractive and less healthy. So, Sleep is not a luxury but a vital component of our skin care regimen.

Embrace holistic skincare that sets you forward to total wellness. When you integrate natural products, healthy lifestyle practices and mindfulness into your daily routine, you can achieve beautiful skin along with a balanced and healthy life.
