If you have begun to look deeper at what it means to have healthy skin, I am sure you have often wondered what are the best foods for clear skin. You wouldn’t be alone in this.

Have you seen the documentary called Fantastic Fungi on Netflix? It is an incredible look into the magical world of mushrooms. While this documentary was for most people the first time they started to see mushrooms as something other than gross squish fungus, for me I began to see mushrooms as something truly powerful when Eminence began using adaptogenic mushrooms in their products. So lets discuss the powerful benefits of using adaptogens in your skincare ritual.
On average, men can be quite difficult to convince to use skincare. Typically the male self care routine is easier and more simple than what I recommend for women. I am not trying to box in every man, there are definitely men who take excellent care of their skin and are proud of their in depth self care routines. Personally I would love for skin care rituals to become more normalized for men and I think we are on a path to achieving this. Even the most rugged man can find skincare to suit his needs these days.
Hormones are incredible, tiny rulers in our bodies. Little overlords we don’t have a lot of control over unless we understand them. Most people are aware of the havoc hormonal imbalance has on our skin during puberty, acne being a well known right of passage. But what about through the rest of life? Adult acne has become just as common and tolerated. I myself once thought “It’s just the way I am, I’ll never be able to get control over my acne.” As a holistic esthetician and someone who has worked to heal acne issues not just in myself but with numerous clients, I will tell you right now, adult acne is not something you have to “just live with.” It begins with understanding & balancing your hormones.
Does your skin feel dry even though you moisturize? Do you have rough, uneven texture? Do you have lots of little breakouts? If any of these apply to you, then my first question as an esthetician of ten years is going to be: Do you exfoliate?
Because if your answer is no, then it is very likely it is the cause of your dry, rough skin, uneven texture and clogged pores. I often tell my clients, “Exfoliation is the most important step in your routine.” This is because exfoliation is the step in your skincare ritual that ties in all the other steps.
