In recent years we have become aware of how important it is to find the balance between beauty and well-being. This new vision has given rise to a new trend in skin care: holistic beauty.

WHAT IS HOLISTIC COSMETICS?

Evidence shows that mental health and physical well-being have a lot to do with physical appearance. This holistic approach makes cosmetics and beauty increasingly related.

Therefore, we must seek harmony and balance in ourselves to reflect both internal and external beauty, achieving a holistic beauty that is reflected in our skin .

Taking into account that it is based on comprehensive well-being, its pillars are:

1- EAT HEALTHY FOODS

What we eat has a major effect on the quality of our skin and the aging process. Dairy products or a high sugar content can cause inflammation (acne, eczema, rosacea...).

Sugar is associated with acne and also skin aging . This is because glucose binds to collagen and elastin fibers. This causes loss of elasticity and firmness that results in wrinkles and expression lines .

Achieving healthier skin also depends on your type of diet . Follow these tips for a healthy diet :

• Eat more fruits, green leafy vegetables and plant-based products.

• Eat nuts and oily fish like salmon or sardines, it is good for your health. These foods contain healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats respectively) that benefit the heart and brain.

• Cook and season your dishes with olive oil , it contains vitamin E and polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that protect the skin against damage caused by free radicals and premature skin aging .

• Avoid foods that increase the production of free radicals and oxidative stress.

• Reduce the intake of foods of animal origin . They increase the risk of skin conditions such as acne and premature skin aging.

To prevent the effects of free radicals, it is important to consume a balanced diet rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and foods rich in vitamins C and E are examples of foods that contain antioxidants.

FOODS AND FACTORS THAT ACTIVATE THE PRODUCTION OF FREE RADICALS AVOID THEM!

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells in the body and contribute to aging . What should you avoid?

• Foods rich in saturated and trans fats: fried foods, fast foods, baked goods and processed foods. The high temperature cooking process can also generate free radicals.

• Refined sugars: excess can contribute to the formation of free radicals.

• Processed meat and red meat: Cooking meat at high temperatures can generate toxic compounds and increase the production of free radicals.

• Alcohol: excessive consumption can increase the production of free radicals in the body.

• Tobacco: Smoking introduces a large amount of free radicals into the body.

• UV rays: are one of the main causes of premature skin aging, a phenomenon known as photoaging.

• Processed foods and foods with chemical additives : Some food additives and chemicals present in processed foods can contribute to the formation of free radicals.

Use vegetable fats and oils. These types of fat are rich in healthy fatty acids that help reduce cardiovascular diseases and maintain the skin and its protection factor.

A balanced and healthy diet contributes to facial care and will help keep it in good condition , preventing the formation of blackheads, the appearance of wrinkles...

2- PRACTICE EXERCISE

Exercising improves circulation and reduces stress naturally by releasing endorphins , which makes us feel happier .

In addition, it strengthens muscles, improving support for the skin , and with sweat we eliminate toxins .

The benefits of holistic beauty focus on the balance between body, mind and spirit. This approach also encourages greater self-acceptance and authenticity, as well as environmental awareness when choosing natural and sustainable products.

3- DRINK WATER

60% of your skin is water. You need to drink amounts that guarantee hydration , maintain juiciness and allow metabolic exchanges.

Did you know that as time goes by, your body produces less hyaluronic acid, which is one of the reasons why dry skin becomes more common over the years?

4- CONTROL YOUR STRESS

Stress produces greater sensitivity to inflammation in our skin, and a natural process of loss of luminosity , fatigue marks , wrinkles ...

5- SLEEP MORE AND BETTER

Beauty is closely linked to the quantity and quality of sleep. If we sleep poorly or little, dark circles appear, the eyes are more swollen , the skin ages more ...

6- PAMPER YOURSELF WITH A DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE

Holistic cosmetics are natural cosmetics that balance our skin using natural ingredients to achieve harmony and balance . Their facial treatments are packed with antioxidants, nutrients and all the power of nature.

The goal is to create products that go beyond beauty . These products combine active ingredients from plants, smells and textures . Its purpose is to stimulate both the body and the emotions , mind and body.

Holistic cosmetics consider the whole being, not just the skin, as it reflects what happens internally. And beauty is not just beautiful skin, it is an entire attitude.

YES TO NATURE, NO TO SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS THAT ALTER THE BALANCE OF YOUR SKIN AND YOUR BODY

Holistic cosmetics and natural cosmetics go hand in hand. In both cases, the aim is for the skin to fully benefit from the benefits of natural ingredients and to seek internal and external benefits.

For this reason, their formulas do not contain harmful chemical substances that can alter the balance of our body or our skin. This is the case of silicones , parabens , phenoxyethanol , mineral oils...
