The concept of listening to your skin sounds odd, I know. It falls into the category of trusting you intuition - like that little voice in your head. Throughout each day, our bodies are constantly giving us signals - like when to eat, when to sleep, or to look out for this or that. Some signals are super obvious, like “this is hot! do not touch!” or not so obvious “I don’t know the answer to a problem and need to talk to a friend.”

We’re providing you with a great DIY body scrub focused on sea salt and coffee grounds. This is the perfect blend; Coffee is stimulating to skin and increases blood flow and circulation while pink sea salt is rich in iron and is especially beneficial for women during their cycle.

Masks are a great addition to any skin care routine, not just during a facial. They can target specific skin care concerns, from dry skin, to acne to oily skin, there’s a mask out there for everyone! Masks can help moisturize the skin, manage excess oils and improve the appearance of pores.

“Appreciation is an excellent thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us, as well.” ~Voltaire. While the old proverb tells us it is better to give than receive, countless people bemoan the absence of grateful receivers. Thank you letters seem to be a relic of the past and expressions of gratitude are often drowned out in a sea of complaints about what is wrong with the world.

Sadly, to most people, the idea of feeling a sense of calm, getting quality sleep and not feeling stressed out all the time seems like a vacation. Believe it or not, getting bored is critically important for your health. Maybe not the kind of mind numbing boredom that most of us try to avoid but rather the concept that when we are constantly living a go go life our body never gets the opportunity to reach the parasympathetic state that is required to balance out and reset our body to be in a more harmonious and healthy condition.

January: It is a time of renewal, commitments, and goals. Step back and commit to investing in yourself. This might mean actually investing, like purchasing skin care products or this could mean investing time. Maybe an extra 15 minutes in the morning to meditate, do yoga or sip tea is a good way to start your day.

Many people are hesitant to add an oil to their skin care routine, as it implies oily or shine on the skin surface and we’ve spent so many efforts trying to prevent that! Often, a facial oil is part of many facials, so when you’re laying there with your eyes closed all relaxed, it’s very likely that some sort of oil is being applied to your face.. why not make it part of your daily routine?

At Everly Grace Whole Beauty, we’re committed to natural and organic skin care. We firmly believe that what you put on your skin and into your body plays a part in your overall health. Because let's face it, who doesn't want to feel beautiful inside and out?

Your skin care routine should be something that’s always evolving. Between a surprise breakout to dry skin after a weekend away from home, there’s daily changes and there’s seasonal changes. As we approach summer, heat and humidity can make your skin sticky or dry.

Our lives are different now than they were a month ago. From social events, to work to school, it’s very likely we all have a new routine now. That’s 100% ok. To get to this state, it took a bit of a shift. We had to change our expectations and plans. We had to let go of what was comfortable. By now, many of us are adjusting to a very different way of life and that’s something worth celebrating. While there might be moments of discomfort or frustration, you are here and you are doing it. Good job.

Any ritual can help create balance. Whether it’s an exercise ritual, a morning ritual or your ritual of a glass of wine after work on a Friday, when your mind and your body has an idea of what to expect, it will respond and accept this ritual as a routine. Everly Grace Whole Beauty is about balance. Balance in your skin. Balance in your body and Balance in your soul. When this balance is correct, we can really thrive.

It’s finally summer! Our skin reacts differently to the drier summer conditions, longer days and more sun. We polled our favorite customers and asked them what pressing questions they had about summer skin care. Read on before you go out into the sun!  

At Everly Grace Whole Beauty, there’s a clear reason we included the word WHOLE in our name. Beauty isn’t just following every step of skin care routine and treating symptoms (acne, dry skin, oily skin etc.) as they arise. Whole beauty is about our diet, stress level, hormones, activity level and mental health. It takes more than applying serums and moisturizers to have healthy skin and a healthy mind.

Just like our gut, our skin has a microbiome, a complex collection of bacteria that’s serves as a basis for healthy, radiant skin. On the blog this month, we’re talking about microbiomes. From over washing (not good) to exfoliating (good) there’s a fine balance to achieve when caring for your skin’s bacteria.

Winter weather strips your skin of moisture and of its natural, moisturizing oils. Heating your home, removes moisture from the air, making your home environment dryer. Those cozy hot shower, hot tub sessions and baths also drain the skin of natural moisture and oils. That ski lift, winter show shoe adventure or hike can also have winds and winter sun that effect the skins’ natural balance.
