Health practitioners all over the globe agree: stress is your health and wellbeing's biggest enemy. What does this mean to you?- after all, you can't take the traffic, screaming kids, loud music, and late work days completely out of your life. The key is to accomplish stress management.
Stress management can be anything from massage and facials, to yoga, to simply sitting down in the quiet for 30 minutes each night to unwind. Making time for this kind of relief is something you owe yourself and your body! As a skin therapist, I can't even begin to count how many times I've heard "I'm just too busy" or "By the time I get home all I want to do is go to bed", but like anything else in life, you must find the time to make this a daily practice. Stress takes such a toll on not only your overall health, but your skin as well that I have had clients I've seen for years miss only a few months of treatment due to stressful matters they have to take care of at home or in their personal life, and look 5 years older when they do get in for another appointment. If this isn't testament to how stress can effect you inside and out, nothing is.
So, as a professional in an industry where de-stressing is our specialty, I encourage everyone to take the time this week for some kind of stress relief!
Have a wonderful week! And as always, any questions or comments you may have are welcome here or on my professional Facebook page: Paige Brewster- Skin Therapist.
