How would you feel if I was treating you and I was feeling depressed?

You would have no faith in me or my treatment. The same way

you need to approach your skin, be happy making changes in

your mind so that you can also see those changes translate throughout

your life and into your skin and your body. In the skincare industry, everybody

talks about products and treatments. They're all really great for

looking after your skin. But the biggest thing that we're forgetting is Welcome

to The Holistic Skin Guru, where what's on the surface is just

as important as what's underneath. I'm your host, Aamena. Let's

dive deep into the world of holistic skincare. Welcome

back to another episode of The Holistic Skin Guru. Today, we're

gonna talk about one of my favorite topics, and that is

something that not a lot of people think about when

it comes to skin, and it's about mindfulness. We

want to discuss stress reduction techniques for a clearer skin.

Yes, you heard right. Stress reduction for a clearer

skin. Did you know that our mental state

can impact on the way our skin functions? Even

our emotions can impact on the aging process of our skin.

For example, if we smile a lot, we tend to get smile lines,

but look happier overall. It takes more muscles

to frown than it does to smile. Did you know that?

Well, it's true. Think about what that is

doing to your facial features and the impact long-term

frowning will have on your face. We all know there's number

11 lines that the injectors like to inject with Botox. We

can avoid that by becoming aware, coming

into awareness about the habits that we have when

it comes to our facial expressions. Treatments such

as knee lifting, buccal massage, gua

sha, cupping facials, these all will help alleviate

the stress in the facial muscles and help your

skin look and feel smoother, more plumped

and glowy. The aim is to exercise the

skin in your treatments. and then feed

and nourish it with your home care. Now, you can't do

that doing practicing face yoga and you're going to

be practicing those facial muscles and that's great. But

when you come into salon, we can do that on a

much bigger scale. If you're doing these two

things, Having your skin treatments and feeding and

nurturing your skin correctly, then you will begin to

see long-term results. So every

day as women, we wake up and we do something

called pattern forming. Pattern forming means when

we look in the mirror and we take a photograph of ourselves first

thing in the morning of our face and our bodies. Now this

is a science, I'm not making this up. An average male

will take 151 images per month.

Guess how many we're taking as women? 1,360,000 images

per month. So while you are going through your day,

you're having the last recorded image of your face in

your brain and you've recorded and you've stored those imperfections

and you're thinking of your imperfections while you are communicating to

others. And on a subconscious level, we're

taking that messaging with us throughout our day and

it's impacting on us. So knowing this,

we are going to wipe out pattern formatting, and

in doing so, I'm going to give you a little exercise that

I learned from a coach a while ago. We're going to

send a frequency through our body to every single

cell in our body, and we're going to change the self-image that

we have of ourselves. And then we

can harness the frequency of authenticity and

you're going to see your world completely change.

So this is what you need to do. Before you begin

your day and walk out the door, stand six feet

from the mirror and look at yourself in the mirror and

say, I am beautiful. I

am created by God. I am wealthy, I

am here for a purpose, and my purpose is whatever

your purpose is. For me, it is to impact people around

me in a positive way. And now let that be

your last image you record in your mind

so that the balance of that day, patent

formatting will not interrupt your life. You'll

put an end to pattern formatting by doing that, but you have to create

that habit. Now we've been told to create a habit, we have to

do something at least 13 times. So

let's try to do this for at least a week or two and we'll

start to build that habit and we'll eradicate the

negative pattern formatting that we've stored in our subconscious.

Try it each day and watch your life change. So

in the skincare industry, everybody talks about products and

treatments and what you're going to use at home and all

this sort of stuff. And they're all really great for looking

after your skin. But the other thing that's impacting, like

I said before, your mental state impacts on your skin and

the way it functions. The biggest thing that we're forgetting is

our mind is very, very powerful. and our

mind is actually helping us to heal or helping us

to feel sick. And so the messages that we're sending to

ourselves is actually affecting the way our skin functions.

So if you keep saying, well, I look tired because this

is the way I am and this is just the way it's going to be and so

my skin's always going to be dull. It doesn't matter what you do to

your skin, you're not going to see results because you've already decided,

your brain has already made up its mind that that's the outcome

that you are going to get. Once we start to

change the way we see ourselves and the perceptions of

ourselves, we start to see change within. So

start thinking about how you see

yourself and see yourself in a more positive light

and then accompany that with the correct skincare regime

and the correct products and you're going to see a huge

improvement. I think when I get excited about skin and when I

get excited about treatments, my clients get just as

excited and that energy just delivers from me to

them and they walk out of here feeling and knowing that they're going to

get a result. How would you feel if I was treating

you and I was down and out and I was feeling depressed and I was not

happy about what I was doing? You would have no faith in

me or my treatment. And so in the same way, you need

to approach your skin. You need to approach yourself in that way and

be happy and be really positive in

making changes in your mind so that you can also

see those changes translate throughout your life and into your skin

and your body. Like they've done a study and they've they've found that,

you know, cancer cells are actually stupid cells. They're dumb.

And your cells, your natural cells in your

body are actually quite clever because they

can multiply, they can heal themselves. They

can do so many things, but a cancer cell, if you know, you just have to poison

it and it dies. So we have to stop thinking of

cancer as death. We have to start thinking or

looking at it as a stupid disease, because that's what it

is. It's really dumb. And our bodies can actually overcome

these stupid cells and we can heal ourselves just by

our minds, using our minds to heal our bodies. And

it might sound so far-fetched and surreal

to some people, but to harness the power of your mind

is huge. You can actually make some huge changes, not

just to your skin, but to your entire life, just by thinking

about those positive changes. It'll impact

on you in ways that you could never imagine. If you enjoyed this
