More than simple skincare treatments, holistic facials feel like beauty therapy. The wellness industry is increasingly focused on all things holistic, addressing the body as a whole rather than the sum of its parts. The skin is our biggest organ, and aestheticians are creating customized treatments and recommendations in response to their clients’ lifestyles. Your skin can reflect what’s going on inside, from emotional stress to hormone imbalance, pollution, or diet.Â
So what’s the difference? Anyone familiar with facials knows the experience includes a combination of cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing, but the holistic approach goes further. Most use facial massage techniques over equipment, and choose organic and natural ingredients over chemical peels and extractions. The mind—body connection during a holistic facial dives into the underlying cause of your skin issues, refusing to stop with a quick fix.
