In this article, you will learn all about Holistic Skincare including:

With holistic skincare, we can successfully reverse signs of damage, as long as we are optimizing the skin renewal cycle. The skin is the largest organ in our body and the first line of defense against the environment and infections. Our skin undergoes rapid cell division to renew itself continually.

What is Holistic Skincare?

We can redefine "holistic skincare" by adopting a comprehensive approach that optimizes the skin renewal cycle at each step. Supporting all phases of skin renewal from collagen regeneration to skin barrier strengthening and exfoliation to reveal new, healthy skin will effectively address every skin concern for any skin tone, at any age.

Best Ways to Get Rid of Acne

Acne-prone skin typically has an overproduction of oil, trapping dirt and dead skin debris in pores causing breakouts. Starting with a Glo2Facial (Balance treatment) uses anti-bacterial ingredients to remove impurities, fight acne, and, minimize oil production. Then to break down the oils, a Skinwave Hydrafacial helps remove the oil and trapped dirt and blackheads.

This leaves your skin silky smooth and clean for natural skin cell cycle turnover to begin. Your face or body has never felt so smooth. In the next few days, you will see your skin regenerate new skin and glow. 

Best Skincare Routine for Acne

Oil reduction is important, but also building the skin barrier and moisture protection is essential. Exfoliants and deep cleansing should be accompanied by soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Using the correct products will help build the skin barrier and using hyaluronic acid products.

Step 1: Moisturizer

Flat Out Firm by Farmhouse Fresh should be applied on top of the moisturizer to seal in moisture.

This does mean retinol should be peeling skin off. If this is happening please stop using it. It is too strong and is harming your skin and can leave scarring and hyperpigmentation. This multi-step routine supports every step of the skin renewal cycle, not only the "problem" step of excess oil production, resulting in clearer and healthier skin.

Hyperpigmentation

Multiple factors cause hyperpigmentation from sun damage to hormonal causes like melasma. Hyperpigmentation is defined by the excess production of melanin, but it’s a symptom of underlying damage.

Why Does Hyperpigmentation Happen?

Due to sun damage, collagen breaks down because UV exposure will cause both excess pigmentation and collagen degradation. In more complex conditions like melasma, hyperpigmentation is a symptom of a hormonal imbalance. In acne-prone, dry, or mature skin, it signifies skin barrier breakage.

The Wrong way to treat Hyperpigmentation?

Although hyperpigmentation is complex, most people try simply suppressing melanin production, which is why this approach often fails. Melanin production is a protective mechanism and a symptom of an underlying insult. None of those insults are addressed solely by fighting melanin production. The fact is, they often cause a paradoxical increase in hyperpigmentation, especially in skin of color.

The Correct way to treat Hyperpigmentation?

Alternatively what should be done is, a multi-faceted regimen incorporating collagen growth and faster skin cell turnover with Vitamin C Booster from Farmhouse Fresh and retinol Watercress Hydration Cascade or Watermelon Aid Glee Serum that does not peel your skin off, respectively, will erase hyperpigmentation by making new healthy skin faster. Simultaneously, building the skin barrier with a moisturizer and moisture sealant like hyaluronic acid will automatically down-regulate melanin production.
