Beauty is a state of mind. How you feel on the inside conveys on the outside. Guiding individuals to a more holistic way of approaching beauty and wellness has been my life’s work for more than 35 years.

Unfortunately, in the pursuit of beauty and wellness, many women subject their bodies to a multitude of toxic chemicals. It can be very stressful in itself just reading all the labels on beauty products, or trying to choose between the endless products online that claim to be organic. So many have catchy marketing that sounds believable, yet they don’t deliver. That’s where speaking to an expert in organic beauty comes in handy. A holistic personal-care provider offers services that go beyond a stunning balayage or radiant color.

I help people simplify their beauty routine through home spa treatments. I regularly recommend the following tips and products, which leave an inner and outer glow that comes from having healthy skin, hair and body.

Exfoliation

As toxins are released through the skin, exfoliating your entire body is key to releasing toxins, increasing cell renewal, improving circulation and boosting immunity. Rescue and renew your skin with a detox scrub and detox mask for the face, cuticles, hands and feet.

Scalp Health is so important to our overall well-being. Environmental pollutants build up on the scalp, inhibiting its function of releasing toxins and chemical overload. Infrequent cleansing of the scalp, questionable ingredients in hair products, and toxic hair dyes, just to name a few stressors, can cause hair loss, dandruff and excess sebum.

Detoxification

I always recommend a 30- to 60-day detox for the entire body. Bloating, weight gain, skin that breaks out or looks dull and lifeless—for all these problems, detoxing offers one complete prescription. One to two months of good hydration and balanced meals will produce radiant skin and healthy hair and body.

Oway Sunway Hair & Body is the go-to product line for anyone wanting to detoxify the body and replenish vital nutrients and antioxidants for protection and moisture balance. It offers one complete system to restore a more youthful appearance.

Skin Care

Many people are experiencing overactive skin—skin that is excessively dry or breaks out, or skin sensitivity. With everyone shopping online for skin products, I’m quite concerned. A more holistic solution that’s great for everyone is Arbonne’s new Super Calm and Inner Calm, to soothe and promote proper skin balance.
