Why beauty sleep is a real thing? 🌌⁠ ⁠ We a Why beauty sleep is a real thing? 🌌⁠ ⁠ We are easily able to tell when someone needs more sleep. We have all seen our face in the mirror after poor sleep: puffy eyes, dark half-moons below and dull skin. Quality sleep gives a healthy appearance. ⁠ ⁠ This is how skin benefits from good night sleep:⁠ ⁠ 🌌Rest and good sleep do wonders for the skin and strengthen the kidneys.⁠ 🌌 Sleep is time for healing and neurons to build strong connections. ⁠ 🌌 During sleep the blood circulation improves, which evens the skin tone and brightens the skin.⁠ 🌌 The skin renews during nighttime: we make anti-inflammatory cytokines while we sleep – that´s one part how nighttime repairs skin damage that occurs during the day. ⁠ 🌌 The body produces more elasticity enhancing collagen during sleep.⁠ 🌌 It is mostly during non-REM sleep, usually experienced in the beginning of a deep sleep, when the skin-repairing process happens. You can´t reach the same benefits while laying on the couch or doing relaxation practices.⁠ 🌌 The skin makes the best use of active ingredients during nighttime.⁠ 🌌 Good night sleep prevents premature aging.⁠ 🌌 Poor sleep can be one root reason for skin problems like acne, rosacea and POD.⁠ ⁠ Set the stage for a restful night and deep, high-quality sleep with the help of ´Beauty Sleep´ practice. This practice includes calming asanas and long relaxation with sound healing created by @youmaycallmeirene. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Photo: @riikka_kantinkoski⁠ ⁠ #yinyourskin #yinyoga #soundhealing
You can achieve visible effects immediately from t You can achieve visible effects immediately from the first treatment ✨⁠ ⁠ ✔️ The most visible effect is reduced puffiness on the face and under the eyes because of the increased lymph fluid circulation. ⁠ ✔️ Brighter skin, thanks to the improved circulation of blood, nutrients, oxygen and lymph fluids⁠. ✔️ Brighter eyes – you can see how the treatment “opens up” your eyes. ⁠ ✔️ The features of the cheeks and jawline become more sculpted⁠. ✔️ The treatment relaxes your nervous system⁠. ✔️ Improved absorption of skincare products⁠. ⁠ The only way to reach the results is to master the technique.

Even though you can learn to reach spa-like result Even though you can learn to reach spa-like results with facial gua sha treatments in your own at home spa, I still recommend meeting a skin therapist regularly. This is why: ⁠ ⁠ ✔️ Even the most wonderful pampering treatment at home can never reach the same pleasure as surrendering to a skilled beautician⁠ ✔️ Your beautician will regularly monitor the condition of your skin and make sure that the products you use are also right at home and there will be no false choices. ⁠ ✔️ A skilled beautician develops an in-depth view of the treatment of different skin types and problems and is able to utilize her or his knowledge of ingredients in a case-by-case manner. ⁠ ✔️ When we are touched with the intention of healing us and doing us good, our whole body tunes to a different frequency than where most of us are in a busy daily life. With gentle and caring touch our vagus nerves begin to affect the whole body (internal organs, brain, intestines, lungs) so that stress reveals, hormonal activity and the microbiome begin to balance and inflammation decreases. ⁠ ✔️ Regular facial treatment is not only recommended for people with skin disorders, but for all skin types. ⁠ ✔️ Attend treatments at least four time a year, once every season. ⁠ ✔️ If you have skin disorders like acne, rosacea or POD, try to find a good skin therapist and start a long term relationship. Treating skin disorders requires a commitment to a treatment plan. Your skin therapist can treat your skin regularly and update your products and treatment plan according to skin progression, skin response and seasons. ⁠ ✔️ A holistic skin therapist can also check on your diet and other lifestyles of everyday life, as the causes of skin disorders almost always lies deeper. ⁠ ⁠ Have you find your own beauty therapist? ⁠ ⁠ If you are living in Finland, you can find over 50 beauticians and Chinese Medicine specialist with Yin Your Skin Pro ® education.

The Shen of the Heart – consciousness, intellige The Shen of the Heart – consciousness, intelligence and wisdom ⁠ ⁠ The Shen of the Heart is aware of the spiritual well-being all of the other organs as well as all the feelings that are connected to the organs. In Chinese Medicine, it is believed that feelings can cause internal illness and vice versa. The Heart collects all the body’s feelings with the help of the Shen, reflects and feels them – this is why all feelings affect the Heart. ⁠ ⁠ The Shen of the Heart is connected to all mental functions of the person like thinking, remembering past things, consciousness, insights, considering values, intelligence, wisdom, ideas, dreams, and the ability to focus on ourselves. ⁠
