National Healthy Skin Awareness Month: A Holistic Approach to Radiant Skin
November, designated National Healthy Skin Awareness Month by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), emphasizes the importance of skincare for overall wellness. Our skin is the largest organ in the body, acting as a protective barrier and reflecting the state of our internal health. At Align Total Wellness, we approach skincare holistically, using Healing Touch Massage, therapeutic-grade essential oils, select carrier oils, and red-light therapy to nourish and revive the skin. This integrated approach provides a foundation for healthy skin by addressing not just the surface but also the deeper layers of wellness.
The Role of Massage in Skin Health
Massage therapy is a powerful tool for enhancing skin health. By stimulating circulation, massage delivers essential nutrients to the skin, aids in collagen production, and accelerates the removal of toxins. Align Total Wellness uses Healing Touch Massage, a technique designed to balance energy flow and enhance lymphatic drainage. This method supports clearer, more vibrant skin and aids in reducing puffiness, giving skin a naturally youthful appearance.
Essential Oils and Carefully Selected Carrier Oils
At Align Total Wellness, we use therapeutic-grade essential oils and pure carrier oils that provide deep nourishment and promote healing. The essential oils in our blends are chosen for their healing, moisturizing, relaxing, restoring, and renewing properties:
Lavender: With its calming effects, lavender is ideal for sensitive skin, helping to reduce irritation and redness while promoting a balanced complexion.
Lemongrass: With powerful astringent properties, lemongrass oil helps cleanse pores, tighten skin, and tone the overall complexion, making it a fantastic choice for enhancing skin's texture and clarity.
Peppermint: Known for its cooling and soothing effects, peppermint oil is great for calming skin irritation, reducing redness, and promoting a refreshed and invigorated feel.
Tea Tree: As a natural antibacterial, tea tree oil is ideal for blemish-prone skin, supporting clear pores and reduced breakouts.
Frankincense: Known as the “king of oils,” frankincense is also known for its skin-toning and cell-rejuvenating qualities, frankincense is excellent for diminishing the appearance of scars and age spots.
The Core Carrier Oils at Align Total Wellness
Our carefully selected carrier oils complement the therapeutic effects of essential oils while deeply nourishing the skin. Two essential carrier oils, coconut oil and jojoba oil are used in both our massages and nurturing products. These oils provide hydration, repair, and vital nutrients, supporting optimal skin health.
Organic Cold Pressed Coconut Oil: With rich moisturizing properties and high fatty acid content, coconut oil deeply hydrates, creating a protective barrier on the skin. Its antibacterial and soothing qualities make it suitable for a variety of skin types, helping to reduce dryness and irritation.
Pure Unrefined Jojoba Oil: Similar in composition to the skin’s own natural oils, jojoba oil absorbs easily without clogging pores, making it ideal for most skin types. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help to calm irritated skin and provide essential vitamins for skin repair.
Red Light Therapy: A High-Tech Boost for Skin Vitality
Red light therapy has proven highly effective for skin rejuvenation. By penetrating the skin’s deeper layers, red light therapy promotes collagen production, enhances circulation, and reduces inflammation, which is especially beneficial for skin dealing with aging, scars, or imperfections. At Align Total Wellness, red light therapy complements our Healing Touch Massage and essential oils, providing a targeted approach to restore skin health and radiance.
