Hello Glow
16 Holistic
Beauty Tips
by KOURTNEY JASON
What exactly is holistic beauty? Depending who you ask, the definition
differs. According to Melissa Rascon, owner of NorCal Natural
Beauty Salon and Organic Spray Tanning in Folsom, [it's] the science
of life and a “practical system based on the belief that optimal health
is achieved when your mind, body, and spirit are aligned with the
universe.” For Penny Chabot, owner of Scarlet Halo Holistics in Placerville, holistic beauty
is about taking care of your physical body outwardly while also going within to tend to
your non-physical being. “You know when you see someone beaming [with life] and they
just emit a certain beauty you can actually feel? That’s the type of beauty that catches
my attention,” she says. “Though everyone’s body is different and needs different things
to flourish, there are certain ways to boost your beauty in a healthy, vibrant way.” Here,
three local experts share their top tips.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
“So often we forget that our skin is
1
literally the largest organ in our body.
It’s a beautiful, intricate system that has a
million jobs, including filtering out toxins.
Whatever is happening internally will
show externally. Adding healthy fats, like
avocado and almonds, will help deliver
vitamin E and give you that healthy glow,”
says Haley Judge, a licensed esthetician,
owner of Rosewater Holistic Skin Studio
in Placerville, and creator of Rosarium
Organic Skin Care.

“Probiotic supplements and foods,
like fermented veggies and yogurt, are
needed to add healthy bacteria in your gut,
[which] is crucial to having gorgeous skin,
hair, and nails,” Judge says.

According to Chabot, “Vitamin C is the
best overall anti-aging ingredient. Put
in on topically, ingest it through nutrition, or
even take a supplement! Just get it in and on
your body.”

“Water, water, water! Almost everyone is
chronically dehydrated. Drinking eight
glasses of water [every day] will give you a
beautiful complexion and make a myriad of
issues vanish,” Judge shares.
5
“[Cut back on] sugar. Refined sugar
inflames the skin and is a leading cause
of wrinkles and acne. Simply removing it
from your diet will lead to vibrant skin,” Judge
says.

“Herbal tea is a ‘super drink,’ due to
its ability to flush toxins out. White tip
oolong and jasmine tea make the skin glow
from within, visibly reducing unevenness
and dullness,” Rascon says.
