We’re at the end of January which means the new year is in full swing. I’ve never been a big of term resolutions as it relates to planning for the new year, you can read my thoughts in my
Anti-Resolutions post. However, I always find the new year is a good time to reevaluate things: finances, personal goals, health, fitness, eating, self-care routines, and how we spend our time.
I’d like to propose that you reevaluate your skincare rituals. With anti-aging gimmicks and products containing toxins and forever chemicals on the rise, I want to ensure your self-care routine encompasses holistic practices which will go beyond prioritizing the appearance but also support the overall health of your skin. Holistic skincare goes beyond topical treatments; it involves nourishing your skin from the inside out. Today, we'll explore some natural skincare tips and rituals to promote healthy, radiant skin.
1. Hydration is Key: One of the simplest yet most effective ways to promote healthy skin is by staying hydrated. Ensure you're drinking an adequate amount of water daily to keep your skin well-hydrated and supple. Herbal teas and infused water with a couple drops of lemon essential oil or slices of lemon can add an extra dose of antioxidants. doTERRA Product Recommendations: Lemon, Tangerine, Grapefruit, MetaPWR Metabolic Blend or any cirtrus essential oil
2. Nutrient-Rich Diet: Beautiful skin starts with a balanced and nutrient-rich diet. Include foods high in vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3 fatty acids. Berries, leafy greens, nuts, and fatty fish are excellent choices to support skin health. Consider adding a daily dose of collagen-rich foods like bone broth to enhance skin elasticity.

5. DIY Facial Masks: Treat your skin to homemade facial masks using natural ingredients. Ingredients like honey, yogurt, aloe vera, and turmeric have soothing and rejuvenating properties. Create a weekly ritual of pampering your skin with these nourishing masks.
6. Sun Protection: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by incorporating natural sun protection. Use a mineral-based sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Additionally, wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade during peak sun hours.
