What are the benefi ts of adding mind-body skin modalities like Yomassage Facials to an esthetician's service menu? A. Hormones released by the brain due to emotions have a direct eff ect on the skin. Infl uencing the mind to relax and have positive thoughts will have benefi cial eff ects such as reduced skin reactivity, reduced infl ammation response, and boosted immunity. The condition of our skin also infl uences how we feel about ourselves. Research shows people who are unhappy with their skin have higher stress levels and feel less "in control," so it comes full circle. Skin care professionals can infl uence this cycle by creating a relaxing, mind-body experience for their clients, along with the use of advanced skin care products that focus on holistic skin health.
