Rachel Varga is a double-certified nurse and aesthetic specialist who’s done more than 20,000 rejuvenation procedures and has written international papers on optimal skincare. She’s at the top of her field when it comes to evidence-based approaches to skincare.
Let’s face it -- your skin quality is one of the first things people notice about you, and we all want to have radiant skin that glows. But how do you get to that level of radiance? It starts by solving your health issues from the inside out.
Rachel points out that air, water, lighting, and electromagnetic purification in your daily life is really key. Purify the air in your office and your living space. Use reverse osmosis to purify your water. For lighting, get rid of your LED lights and go back to halogen. Keep your phone on airplane mode. Turn Bluetooth off in your home.
She also recommends getting grounded by spending a lot of time outside and “living like a caveman” by eating the right foods, simplifying your routine, and limiting your cell phone use.
Her five quintessential skin care practices include cleansing your face morning and night, moisturizing, using a mineral sunscreen every day, exfoliating twice a week and doing an at-home mask treatment once a week. Follow these skin care practices and you’ll be well on your way to radiance, both inside and out.
Listen and take note as Rachel expands upon the topic of radiance and how if we feel great and look great our interactions with the people, places and things around us will be brighter.
