Skin health and wellness is only possible if your whole body is fit and well!
This is not a philosophy that we made up, it’s a fact that skin care professionals need to adopt into their overall business. Skin health and wellness is a manifestation of nutrition, stress management, sleep patterns, fitness levels, and overall body care. None of the treatments that we as skin care professionals do in a treatment room or products that we recommend for home care will have their maximum benefits if clients don’t have good fitness and wellness habits.
Fitness and Skin Health and Wellness
Fitness is a huge factor in skin health and wellness. Fitness and skin care expert Zen Miller talks about this in her recent article Exercise + Skin Care – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Zen is a group fitness instructor, Massage Therapist, and Esthetician and has been doing this for decades.
Exercise + Skin Care – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
“Exercise and skin care – yes, it’s a known fact that every cell in the human body benefits from physical activity. It is also known that there is no supplement or medication that has proven to be as strong or effective as regular exercise for improving immune strength, cardiovascular health, bone density, and lowering stress.

Nutrition and Skin Health and Wellness
Nutrition is another often overlooked key element of optimal skin health and wellness. We know this from the incredible article by Dr. Erin Madagin-Fleck, Operation Transport – How Nutrition Feeds the Skin, Dr. Madigan-Fleck is a well-respected author, speaker, and educator in the professional skin care industry.
Operation Transport – How Nutrition Feeds the Skin

How Stress and Sleep Impact Skin Health and Wellness
We know that lower stress levels and good sleep help us have optimal levels of skin health and wellness. We know this from the article by Dr. Kali rater! In her article, 5 Healthy Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Skin.
“Reduce Stress and Get Good Sleep”
These two topics are often not discussed when we think of skin care. Your nighttime routine might need to include better sleep hygiene after your nighttime skin care regimen. Making sure you get adequate sleep helps support your body’s collagen production. Lack of sleep can also drive up the stress response which by nature is inflammatory. When we are under high stress our inflammatory response goes up which can create more damage to the skin including accelerating skin thinning and breakdown. Stress also leads to cortisol production which over time leads to more dehydration, impaired wound healing, and increased loss of collagen in the body.” Dr. Kali Prater
