Alternative Skincare and Wellness

Do you change your skin care routine based on the season?

Just like the weather changes, so does our skin. We wear different clothes based on the temperature, so why not use different skin care products?

As fall season approaches, we may experience cooler weather which can lead to tight and dry skin. Using a creamy cleanser, thicker moisturizer, facial oil, or night cream can be a token in keeping your skin hydrated!

P.S.
Don’t forget your lips! Chapped lips are very common during the season transitions.

Stay hydrated and book your next facial today!

Back to School Tips For Your Skin

Calling all teens and young adults!

Get ready for back to school 📚with a refreshing skincare routine! Start this new season off feeling radiant and rejuvenated. ✨

Below are tips on how to prevent or treat acne.

1. Icing - Placing an ice cube in circular motions over the pustules or using a cold jade roller can reduce redness and minimize the inflammation. This is best to be used after cleansing your skin.

2. Wash your pillow cases - Pillow cases can accumulate sweat and oils while we sleep which can enter back into our pores causing them to become clogged. It is recommended to wash our sheets and pillow cases at least once a week.

3. Diet - Some acne breakouts can occur topically, but sometimes they occur inside our bodies resulting in cystic acne. Incorporating a clean diet can increase the chance of having clear skin. Limit foods that have sugar and dairy. Eat foods that are high in fiber and antioxidants.

4. Refrain from touching your face - Little tiny bacteria can hide on our hands throughout the day. When we touch our face, the bacteria transfers from our hands to the pores on our face which can lead to acne breakouts.

5. Decrease stress levels - Stress can trigger hormones and cause inflammation in our body. High stress slows the skin’s ability to repair itself, leading to long lasting acne and even acne scarring.

What is a good skincare routine?

A good skincare routine is different for everybody and is based off of your skin type. A basic skincare routine is a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer and SPF (only for day time). Along with daily home skincare routines, it is important to receive monthly facials which will provide a deeper pore cleanse.

Here at Alternative Skincare and Wellness, we use clean product lines which also help with sensitive and acneic skin.

We have skincare bundles 15% off for a limited time available in person at the spa.

Back to School Tips For Your Skin

Calling all teens and young adults!

Get ready for back to school with a refreshing skincare routine! Start this new season off feeling radiant and rejuvenated.

What is acne?
Acne occurs on the skin when our pores or follicles become clogged from dirt, sweat and oils. Sebaceous glands, which are connected to hair follicles, produce sebum, an oily substance that maintains skin moisture and hydration. The bacteria mixed with clogged oils can cause inflammation.

Although acne can come in many different shapes and sizes, some at home skin care can help control the inflammation and irritation.

Below are tips on how to prevent or treat acne.

1. Icing - Placing an ice cube in circular motions over the pustules or using a cold jade roller can reduce redness and minimize the inflammation. This is best to be used after cleansing your skin.

2. Wash your pillow cases - Pillow cases can accumulate sweat and oils while we sleep which can enter back into our pores causing them to become clogged. It is recommended to wash our sheets and pillow cases at least once a week.

The Lions Gate Portal is an energy gateway associated with manifestation, spiritual healing and transformation. It is when our Sun, in Leo, is in alignment with the star, Sirius, and it rises or becomes visible from the Sun’s yearly passing.

In Astrology, Sirius brings wealth, abundance, spiritual awakening and enlightenment and wisdom making it an excellent time for manifestation.

The number 8 is a powerful abundant number and when turned sideways, it turns into the infinity symbol.♾️The energy and vibration of the number 8 is to bridge the spirit and matter together, balancing the material and spiritual world of the seen and unseen. It reminds us of our connection to prosperity and the ever flow of infinity, a key element in manifestation. ☀️

This year is particularly special because in numerology 2024 = 8 (2+0+2+4 = 8) so that means this year on August 8th, it is also 8/8/8 making it even more magical.☀️✨

What to do during the Lion’s Gate Portal?

1. Focus on aligning the positive energy you have within yourself with the Moon, Stars, Sun, and planets. Star gazing is really powerful during this time as you feel that connection.

2. Write down or say your manifestations out loud and really believe they are happening. Think big here don’t limit yourself.

3. Visualize how it looks when your manifestation happens and notice how it makes you feel.

4. Practice meditation, even if only for a few minutes. Don’t have any expectation on time. Close your eyes and be the observer of your thoughts. Allow yourself to go within and be still in that moment.

5. Embrace the Leo ♌energy inside yourself. Let the fire energy ignite to bring you more courage, confidence, and fun loving vibes to take bold action to transform the life you want to create.

6. Yellow crystals are great to use during this powerful Lion’s Gate Portal energy.

7. Keep your affirmation or mantras around you that support your manifestation.

8. Let go of your expectations and continue with your day believing what has been manifested is or will be a reality.

"I never knew how big the esthetics industry was until I became curious about the benefits of skincare and how to take care of ourselves. I wasn’t sure on where I wanted to place myself in the industry, but I knew it was something I wanted to learn more about. In January 2019, I enrolled in CEN Beauty Academy to start my journey in Esthetics. It was a path my younger self didn’t know I was going to take, but I’ve loved the journey ever since. In December of 2019, I graduated and became licensed in the state of California.

Since I was a child, I’ve always loved crystals, nature and just appreciating the beauty in life. As I got older, I enjoyed learning about spirituality and holistic approaches to life. I’ve always believed that what is meant for me will find me and I wanted to bring my spirituality into all forms of my life. In 2020, I started my own business where I took a holistic approach, using very gentle products and treatments. My goal was to give my clients a very safe and welcoming experience when they stepped in my treatment room. What I enjoyed the most was building relationships with my clients and growing my knowledge in the skincare business every day. While building relationships, I became fascinated with the human mind and developmental healing. I’ve always loved caring and helping other people, so I used this fascination to go back to school to learn more and earn a degree in Psychology.

Not giving up on my love for skincare, spirituality and healing I returned to the industry where I met Stephanie and Rene from Alternative Skincare and Wellness. I found a fast alignment with their spirituality and holistic skincare approaches. I’m looking forward to this new path for myself and in helping your skincare journey as well." - Sky

Join us for our Women's Circle this Thursday, February 8th at 6pm for an evening of self-care and empowerment!

It's been on my heart for a long time to start a women's circle. My space here at Alternative Skincare and Wellness just wasn't big enough. So, I began putting it out into the universe to manifest a space. A few months later a good friend and client told me they were opening a wellness center and asked us to do Group Reiki and Women's and Men's Circles. I was over the moon excited that I could now start a Women's Circle in the most unexpected way. The universe (God) always provides a way making my manifestation a reality. I am so grateful for our partnership with Khloestika Healing and Wellness Center.

My intentions for this Circle are:

To provide a safe space for women to feel supported by other like minded women.

Heal the sisterhood wounds from past back stabbing, gossip and negativity from other women.

Be on the journey together in our spiritual growth and evolution.

Come as your authentic self as I guide you in the process of loving yourself and living your best life!

As Soul Sisters, we are going to celebrate the New Moon and set intentions for the month as we sip some tea and enjoy each others company. Every month I will have a theme that will include meditation, introspection, journaling, lots of great conversations, various activities, music, and did I mention FUN?!!

This is the first New Moon of 2024! It is a time to look back at past accomplishments and look ahead with excitement as we set our intentions for this month and year.

The New Moon is also a great time to practice mindfulness, as it allows us to take a moment to reflect on where we are and where we want to go to manifest our best life. We can look objectively at our daily habits and routines of what we have done well and what needs to be improved. This can help us become more mindful of our actions to live everyday in peace, harmony and love.

This New Moon is in Capricorn and is guiding us with the determination and focus to pursue our goals and manifest our ambitions. This zodiac sign is renowned for its steadfastness and resilience, encouraging us to aim high and take decisive action towards achieving our dreams. With this powerful energy of renewal around us,
it’s important to remember to set realistic goals and accept help from those around us.

It’s time to draw boundaries on activities that don’t serve us and prioritize the ones that do. We can’t accomplish everything at once, but we can work towards our goals and ambitions in a sustainable way.

2024 is going to be an abundant year. Abundance can come in many different forms and not just in finances. Abundant health, Abundant happiness, Abundant self care just to name a few. What do you want to be abundant in this year?

Abundance is a mindset - our energy flows where our mind goes. By focusing on what we want instead of what we don’t have you can bring in more of what you want in your life.

Balance is having everything in perfect harmony. Having too much of one thing can tip the scales and take away from other things. You can have it all by finding your balance.

Today feels like a fresh start on the 1st of the year to set your intentions for the year. What are your intentions for 2024?
