My Favorite Holistic Beauty Treatments + Products
The beauty industry continues to flourish as technology advances and the quest for the next best anti-aging treatment or potion increases. I believe that social media has definitely played a huge role in the societal pressures that women feel to look a certain way. There is a filter for just about everything, from makeup to body parts, and the pressures to maintain a youthful appearance have definitely increased in recent years.
With all of these consistent subliminal and obvious pressures, especially on women, the field of injectables has also taken off. I am all for women (and men) doing what feels best for their unique bodies - I am not here to judge what anyone feels is best for them. My clientele tends to be more holistic and, I myself, am very holistic (shocker). At the time of writing this blog post, I am 38 years old. I have never done botox or fillers but I do enjoy some aging gracefully staple treatments and products - which I have been using and loving for years! I truly believe that utilizing the below treatments and products in combination with eating a consistent, healthy diet and leading a healthy lifestyle as best as possible (keeping stress low, getting great sleep, healing from old wounds, exercising consistently etc.) has kept my skin feeling great and aging gracefully.
FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR MORE NATURAL TREATMENTS AND PRODUCTS TO HELP AGE GRACEFULLY, BELOW ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES!
Favorite Anti-Aging Treatments:
1.) FACIAL LASERS ON A YEARLY BASIS (1-2 TIMES A YEAR).
Lasers that I have used and love are Morpheous8, BBL + Halo, IPL. I live outside of Boston, MA and absolutely love Christine’s MedSpa in Beverly, MA, Skin MD in Peabody and Vega Vitality in Boston for these treatments. I pick one laser treatment per year and do that (not all of them).
2.) MICRONEEDLING.
I have been doing microneedling about twice a year for the last decade and truly believe this treatment has played an integral role in my skin aging as gracefully as possible. Recently, I have tried the Skin Pen microneedling with PRP and RF at Christine’s MedSpa in Beverly, MA and absolutely love this treatment!
3.) DIAMOND GLOW FACIALS.
Once every 4-8 weeks at Christine’s MedSpa in Beverly, MA or Skin MD in Peabody, MA. Great before an event, wedding, etc. It gives your face such a fresh glow!
4.) GUASHA + CUPPING.
You can do these at home treatments on your whole body for amazing health and beauty benefits. Wildling Beauty has incredible videos to show you exactly how to do guasha and cupping on their Instagram. You can follow them here: @wildling_beauty.
5.) RED LIGHT THERAPY.
I cannot say enough about the health and skin benefits of using consistent red light therapy. I purchased the Joov Red Light Therapy for my home a couple years ago and the health benefits go far beyond anti-aging. You can learn more here.
6.) INFRARED SAUNA.
Sweating is one of the major ways our body detoxifies harmful chemicals and pathogens. Three years ago I purchased the Higher Dose Infrared at home Sauna Blanket and am absolutely obsessed! Not only does it help to keep harmful toxins out of the body (which can negatively impact our skin and make us more prone to breakouts, faster aging, eczema, etc.) it makes my skin feel amazing all over! It also has incredible immune boosting benefits. I recently purchased the Bon Charge at home Infrared Sauna Blanket to try something new and like both Higher Dose and the Bon Charge the same. Either one would be a great option!
7.) REBOUNDING.
Rebounding is an absolutely fantastic way to keep your lymph moving. Our lymphatic system can easily become congested and consistently keeping our lymph moving is great for our overall health AND skin as it keeps the body detoxifying more efficiently. I purchased my mini trampoline online at target.com and it is also a great workout! You can also find them on Amazon. Rebounding is so beneficial for not only your lymphatic system, but also your immune system.
Favorite Natural Skin + Beauty Products:
1.) CLEARSTEM NATURAL SKINCARE.
I have been religiously using these products from Clearstem Skincare on a weekly basis for over a year now and cannot stress enough how much of a difference I notice in my skin since using them! They travel with me wherever I go: GENTLECLEAN Cleanser, CELLRENEW Collagen Serum and the YOUARESUNSHINE Sheer Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen. Enjoy 15% OFF all your orders using COURTNEYLITTLE discount code at checkout. You can learn more about their products here.
2.) MARIE VERONIQUE.
They have THE BEST all-natural retinol creams. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. See their site here.
3.) PRIIA NON-TOXIC COSMETICS.
Vegan and chemical free makeup, that lasts for hours. I absolutely love their mineral makeup and bronzer! Visit their site to learn more about their products.
4.) DIME.
For an all-natural perfume that smells luxurious! All-natural perfumes that smell great can be hard to come by - my absolute favorite is the “I Love Your Smell Baby.” I get so many compliments whenever I wear this!
5.) SKYLAR.
They have the best travel size, all natural perfume fragrances that come in a roller option - see all their options here! They are wonderful for travel and I always have one in my purse. I signed up for their monthly membership and they send me a new roller each month. They also have wonderful all natural candles as well that make the whole house smell amazing!
