Today is World Mental Health Day and since we care about this subject deeply, as it's one of the big reasons behind our "why", we thought it would be a great time to highlight the benefits of spa treatments for mental health.

Incorporating spa treatments into your self-care routine provides a host of benefits for mental health—from reducing stress and anxiety to boosting mood and enhancing focus—making it an invaluable tool for maintaining overall well-being.

It is officially peel season and we love that all of Glo Skin Beauty peels are gentle enough that you can start with any level as long as you have been using retinol at home for a few weeks prior to your peel.

If you would still like to start small, you can certainly start with one of our entry level peels that address a variety of skin goals.

Here are a few great options:

Flower Enzyme- Level 1
​
This powerful blend of vitamin-rich super fruit and flower enzymes gently lift dulling surface cells to smooth, stimulate, and tone skin. Hibiscus, passionflower, and honeysuckle extracts provide strong antioxidant support as well as a relaxing scent, making this cream peel truly an experience.

Enzyme- Level 1
​
Promote skin's clarity with this professional cream peel. Salicylic acid and fruit enzymes target excess oil and congestion to help prevent future flare-ups while anti-inflammatory antioxidants help heal existing breakouts for a balanced, clear complexion.
​

What is Light Therapy?

Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain therapeutic benefits.

The energy is used to improve cellular performance.

Phototherapy is known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across many medical fields.

Research has shown that phototherapy can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, decrease wrinkles, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and wrinkles, texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis and kill acne bacteria, and much more.

We offer Light Therapy in a variety of ways.

- Included in all 90 minute facials
- Add to any facial as an enhancement

- LED+peel Transformative Facial:

A level 2, skin appropriate peel smooths, hydrates, and brightens skin and/or targets acne, congestion and visible pores. The celluma LED brings both immediate and cumulative blemish clearing and anti-aging benefits to the skin while you achieve mind body balance from the inside out with a scalp, hand, and foot massage including aromatic steamed towels. A bespoke treatment mask, serum, moisturizer, eye cream, and lip protection enhances skin health for an all-over radiance.

How can you create small pockets of time throughout the day for self-care activities by incorporating quick and simple practices into your daily life?

Some ideas could be:

- Deep breathing
- Stretching
- Enjoying a cup of tea mindfully
- Journaling
- Taking a short walk in nature
- Hydrating by drinking a warm or cold glass of lemon water
- Listening to music to uplift your mood
- Enjoy a skin care ritual like a face-mask and warm compress

If you are starting to see the signs that you need more self-care, but find it difficult to stay consistent, understanding the specific obstacles that hinder your self-care is crucial.

Here are some common barriers:

Lack of Time: Busy schedules can leave you feeling like there is little room for self-care activities.

Guilt or Unworthiness: You may feel guilty about taking time for yourself, especially if you are a caregiver.

Unawareness of Needs: You may not recognize your own needs and the self-care that would make a difference.

Perception of Self-Care: There can be a belief that self-care is a sign of weakness or vanity.

Prioritizing Others: You may put others’ needs before your own, neglecting your own well-being.

Steps to overcoming the barriers:

1. Reflect

- Journal about how you are feeling and the types of self-care you think would make a difference in your well-being.

2.. Set Realistic Self-Care Goals Based On Your Reflection

- Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.

- Prioritize Self-Care Activities: Schedule specific times for self-care in your daily routine, treating them as non-negotiable appointments.

3. Address Feelings of Guilt and Unworthiness

Reframe Your Mindset: Remind yourself that taking care of yourself enables you to better care for others; it’s not selfish but necessary.

6 Tips for a Cleansing Post-Summer Detox

I don’t know about you, but sometimes my summers can feel like I’m in weekly vacation mode. The kids are home so sticking to your typical wellness routine becomes more of a challenge. There are also a lot more cookouts and parties, which means more indulging in tasty treats and drinks. By the end of the summer, I’m in need of a good cleansing and some rejuvenation.

Enter- the post-summer detox. Now, I’m not a huge fan of intense cleanses or detoxes, since I am a busy mom and business owner and anything too complicated, I probably won’t follow through with. So, I am going to cover some simple, easy-to-implement ways to detox and give yourself a nice refresh, inside and out.

New Episode of the Nourish To Flourish Show: How To Achieve A Healthy Skin Barrier for Hydrated, Radiant Skin

You may be familiar with the skin barrier, as it's one of the top skincare topics frequently discussed in the media recently by skincare brands, estheticians, and skincare enthusiasts.

The skin or moisture barrier is the barrier between external conditions and internal organs, not only responsible for beautifully healthy skin, but also important to human life by protecting against infectious chemicals, allergens, UV radiation, and harmful toxins that have the ability to affect the entire body and organs.

The skin barrier also helps the body maintain homeostasis by protecting against water loss.

In today's episode, Christina covers how to achieve a healthy skin barrier for hydrated, radiant skin.
