THE INTERCONNECTION OF OUR SKIN AND HEART

 

Our skin acts as the symbol of our inner self and is where the outside and inside meet

The health of our complexion is a mirror that reflects our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Stress is bad for the heart and health – and it shows on our skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and reflects our state of mind and health. Our hearts and our skin are our protective barriers and when compromised, healing inside and out is the answer. A healthy heart and state of mind is vital to healthy skin.

Skin to Heart takes a holistic approach to wellness by exploring the connection between emotional well-being and our skin. Our emotions can quite literally get under our skin. While the whole body reacts to our emotions, it is our skin that is always revealing. Our nervous system communicates with the skin and stress triggers an immune response that can impair skin-barrier function and cause inflammatory responses such as acne or rosacea flareups. 

Getting your glow involves much more than skincare products and treatments. Quality skincare is just one aspect of our skin’s wellbeing. Lifestyle, immune health, emotional wellbeing are all parts of the puzzle. Beauty-from-within is part of the healing process.
