Key Takeaways

  • Takeaway1

    Healthy skin begins with a calm nervous system—prioritize sleep, breathwork, and prayer.

  • Takeaway2

    Nourish from the inside with omega-3s, collagen, and hydration to counter Calgary’s dry climate.

  • Takeaway3

    Use targeted treatments like Ritual facials and barrier repair serums to support the outer layer.

  • Takeaway4

    Track triggers—foods, thoughts, environments—to understand what sparks flare-ups.

  • Takeaway5

    Holistic care doesn’t mean DIY; partner with a clinician who understands body, mind, and spirit.

Calm the Nervous System, Calm the Skin

Stress hormones drive inflammation, redness, and breakouts. Begin each day with three rounds of boxed breathing, drink warm lemon water, and speak a grounding affirmation. Request prayer or guided breathwork during Ritual facials. By teaching your nervous system to exhale, your skin follows suit.

Nourish from the Inside

Aim for protein at every meal, colourful produce, omega-3-rich salmon or flax, and two litres of mineral-rich water. Supplement with collagen peptides and vitamin D (after consulting your provider). Hydration supports microneedling recovery, while balanced blood sugar reduces hormonal breakouts.

Treat and Protect the Surface

Choose medical-grade cleansers, vitamin C, barrier serums, and SPF for daily maintenance. Layer clarifying or scalp-focused serums as needed. Schedule Ritual facials for lymphatic drainage, Renewal microneedling for texture, and LED therapy for inflammation. Use silk pillowcases, gentle cleansers, and weekly gratitude lists to keep joy in the routine.
