A Holistic Approach to Facial Wellness: Skincare, Diet & Beyond

Thinking about facial beauty, we might imagine a cabinet full of skincare products, or a gooey mask peeled back to reveal glowing skin. While there are plenty of treatments, lotions, and potions out there, the trust is that healthy radiant skin starts from within. 

What you eat, how you sleep, how well you breathe, and your emotional well-being all play a part in how your face looks and feels. So, let’s take a look at the holistic side of facial wellness and what you can do to help you look your best. 

1.Facial Structure and Breathing

        Your breathing habits and nasal health impact your facial structure. Mouth breathing, for example, can alter your jaw alignment, cause dryness, and even affect facial symmetry. Breathing properly through your nose can improve oxygen flow and facial muscle tone, so try to be mindful of it throughout the day. 

        Nasal obstructions, on the other hand, can cause a whole host of issues if not addressed. Something like a deviated septum can cause congestion, sleep problems, and long-term changes to your appearance. Rhinoplasty, sometimes referred to as a “nose job”, can help resolve breathing issues like this, while improving facial balance. 

        2.Nutrition 

          These days, we’re well aware that our diet affects more than just our waistline. What we eat (and how we eat it) impacts everything from our emotional well-being to our complexion. The right foods can reduce puffiness and bloating, support collagen production for firmer skin, and improve hydration. For instance: 

          • Avocados and nuts are packed with healthy fats to keep skin soft 
          • Citrus fruits are loaded with vitamin C to boost collagen 
          • Leafy greens reduce inflammation and help detoxify 
          • Chia seeds fight acne and redness thanks to Omega-3s

          On the other hand, avoid too much caffeine as this dehydrates the skin. Processed sugar is also one to watch out for as it can cause breakouts and wrinkles. Salty snacks can also lead to facial puffiness. 

          3.Skincare

          A consistent skincare routine is essential for healthy, glowing skin However, skincare actually goes beyond the products you put on your face. We can break it down into four main considerations: 

          1. Clean beauty products: Avoid harsh chemicals, and always choose cruelty-free. 
          2. Lymphatic drainage massage: Gua Sha (jade stones) are not just a fad; they work.
          3. Sun protection: Your hard work is for nothing if you don’t use a daily SPF
          4. Hydration: Dry skin means visible lines, so use a good moisturizer and drink water.

          Endnote

          Managing our facial wellness is an ongoing journey, and our faces all change over time. However, there are some healthy habits and smart actions we can take to promote healthy, happy skin and good facial structure. Overall, it’s about nourishing your body through nutrient-dense, clean foods; prioritizing quality beauty products, and supporting proper breathing for better facial symmetry. Whether it’s through dietary changes or medical solutions like rhinoplasty, taking care of your face is all about feeling confident in your own, fabulous skin.

          NORTHYARD Sleeveless Workout Tank Top

          This tank from NORTHYARD is great for lifting, walking and even on a run. From tanks to joggers, I love the styles from this brand! I love the design. The ties on the side adjust the top length. It holds moisture so my skin doesn’t have to.

          Crepe Erase from Body Firm

          This body repair treatment from The Body Firm is used to help with the crepe skin. I use this on my neck and arms and it is my favorite body cream! Results happen within the first week and with no greasy residue. I gave it 4.5 stars simply because results truly happen when you use it twice a day rather than once a day and 2x a day can be tough for me on consistent use. The results are close to a 5 star! $84 for 10oz and a little goes a long way!

          Healthier Skin with Crépe Erase Body Repair Treatment

          It’s cliche- you turn 40 and your body starts declining in many ways! At 47, I eat fairly healthy and take care of my skin, but sometimes it is an uphill battle to keep my skin hydrated and looking young. Maybe uphill battle isn’t the right phrase, rather, inevitable. The fine lines and crepe skin is my #1 battle. I see creams and supplements and I had yet to try many because there are so many choices and I am not sure which are the best and also made with better ingredients. I was recently challenged to try the Crépe Erase Body Repair Treatment from The Body Firm. So, I use it on my arms, knees and neck twice a day. Here are results, so far.

          In just 2 weeks, I can see the difference, so I will definitely keep it up. This is so encouraging. It has no scent, so great for those sensitive to fragrance. It is not greasy at all. A little goes a long way, so a jar will last you quite a while. My skin stays hydrated until the next use. It applies like any quality moisturizer, yet is working in some incredible ways.

          The ingredients consist of naturally-derived plant extracts such as dill, apple, and sage extracts along with exclusive TruFirm® Complex and 12 Super Hydrators. This cream helps skin bounce back stronger as it works to help restore elasticity to thin, fragile, crépey skin.

          Soonsu Shining Peel is a unique two-phase peel that includes a clear oil layer on the surface and a clear yellow liquid. The yellow color of the liquid is due to ingredients such as AHA, BHA, PHA acids, vitamin B12, retinol, and others. This radiant peel is ideal for evening out skin tone, renewing the skin’s surface, adding radiance and smoothness, removing imperfections and scars, and brightening the skin. The product is suitable for all ages, especially useful after the age of 35, when the natural processes of skin renewal slow down.

          The effectiveness of skin care is not only in whitening, but also in stimulation of skin cell renewal, which provides therapeutic effect. The result of peeling is radiant skin on the face and any part of the body. Peeling also helps to deal with skin imperfections such as acne, enlarged pores, dull complexion, and more.

          Why do I need a biphasic peeling and its benefits?

          A biphasic peel is a treatment that incorporates two different layers, each with its own unique function to improve skin health. The biphasic approach provides more comprehensive and effective skin care.

          The main benefits of a biphasic peel are:

          • Deeper cleansing.
          • Skin renewal.
          • Balanced care.
          • Reduced irritation.
          • Effective brightening and improvement of skin texture.
          • Versatility.

          How is it good for the skin?

          1. Improved skin texture. The active ingredients help to smooth the surface of the skin, making it smooth and radiant.
          2. Stimulation of cell renewal. Peeling accelerates the process of cell renewal, which helps to get rid of old, damaged cells and stimulates the growth of new ones.
          3. Pigmentation reduction. Peeling components help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
          4. Reduction of imperfections. Peeling helps fight acne, enlarged pores and other skin problems.
          5. Increase elasticity. Active ingredients such as vitamins and peptides strengthen the skin and improve its elasticity.

          The biphasic peel combines the benefits of deep cleansing and active care, providing a comprehensive skin care treatment to promote skin health and beauty.
