Debunking Beauty Myths: The Truth About Radiance and Skin Health
The Misconception about Skin Plumping
It seems self-evident that radiance doesn't come from a bottle, a knife, or a needle.
Still, the dermal filler market alone reached 3.8 billion USD in 2020, according to Grandview Research. This doesn't even include Botox Cosmetic or the billions of dollars spent on laser treatments and facial products designed to plump the skin through inflammation.
This obsession with forcefully plumping the skin stems from a deeply-held cultural belief that we can revitalize the skin by burning and controlling it. Newsflash: IT'S NOT TRUE, and it DOES NOT WORK.
If it were true that thinning and injecting the skin gives women a radiant glow, why does the plastic surgery market continue to grow? Why do we keep buying products that don't give us healthy, radiant, beautiful skin?
Misinformation and consumerism are the smoke and mirrors of the internet, making it hard to see the truth.
Moving Towards Holistic Beauty
Today, holistic beauty is gaining traction, and "clean" products have become mainstream, even at places like Target. Yet, there is still a massive disconnect between education, community, and support for the consumer to regain the power of radiance.
Most emphasis is put on single-note ingredients, trendy facial tools, and professional treatments, leaving out essential components - the individual's skill set and self-image at home.
Becoming Your Own Beauty Expert
From my observation, there is an underwhelming amount of attention to supporting women to become their own beauty experts at home. If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt dismayed by your reflection, know that the first place to start looking and feeling different is at home.
After 20 years in the beauty and skincare industry, working with thousands of women facing the same challenges, I concluded that there must be a better way.
You have access to the best, even professional-grade products and treatments online and elsewhere, but you might be missing that Higher Self Perspective, as well as professional-grade education and guidance to achieve naturally glowing results.
