In my practice, I see many clients yearning for younger-looking skin. There’s so much that can be done, from a focus of gut health to laser treatments. First and foremost is the realization that you are deserving of the skin you want. Once you realize that, it’s only a matter of identifying the right treatment for you.  Rachel Varga is a board-certified aesthetic nurse, an international clinical trainer, speaker, and academically published award-winning author in the field of plastic and aesthetic nursing. Through education on skin care, skin and laser rejuvenation, non-surgical solutions, and healing lifestyle practices, Rachel helps inspire others with her unique toolkit to navigate and strategize aging well using the science of beauty. Today, Rachel and I discuss the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. In order for rejuvenation procedures to work and last, the whole person must be addressed. Often, signs of trouble on the skin start in the gut. Genetics play a role. So does lifestyle. That’s why Rachel looks beyond skin deep when working with her clients. There are simple yet crucial things that you can start doing today for your skin. This includes morning and night cleansings, protecting yourself from the sun, and regular exfoliations. To maximize your results, it’s important to use quality products that are individualized to your specific needs and goals. This is crucial if you want more intensive treatments to work as best as they can. With so many different treatments available, we talk about which options could be right for you. Whether it’s red light therapy, lasers, supplements, or derma rollers, there’s a lot that you can do. Taking care of your skin is a sign of self-respect. The first step is recognizing that you’re worth it! What does skin rejuvenation look like to you?
