Your skin has a love language with hidden messages and wisdom just for you.

Listening to and understanding it is what I call, 'Skintuition."

From acne breakouts to reactive rashes, dark spots, and bumps, each visible condition has a secret message and guidance about what's at play underneath the surface of your skin.

 Learning this language by listening to your Skintuition is always the first step towards becoming a Superconscious, Higher Self Beauty.

I suffered from severe eczema, mystery rashes, and allergies as a child and young adult. 

By the time I was a teenager, I had weeping, oozing rashes inside my arms and behind my knees.

I became acutely aware of my skin's ability to be a barometer of my inner emotional landscape and whatever I put in or on it. 

I noticed early on that if my nervous system was upset, my skin would flare up.

 Over time, I came to understand that my skin was a living expression of my nervous system, and as such, I could shift it by using the following credo:

 

• Being neutral and objective: skin conditions aren't good or bad. I don't need to resist or judge them.
• Listening. What is the message this skin condition is sending? I ask my body to communicate with me.
• Expressing my feelings. Emotions are neuropeptides, and they have to keep moving.
• Owning my sensitivity as a superpower. I feel, therefore, I AM.
• Thanking my skin for communicating and loving me. Appreciation is my magic wand.
• Deciding on my preferred outcome and BEING that now.
• Adjusting my lifestyle by adding and subtracting products, foods, people, situations, etc., based on my Skintuition. 
• Noticing the shift, following the energy, and repeating.

 

Taking this type of approach with your skin allows you to have an intimacy with yourself that transcends old skin stories about "skin types" or even problems.

 How amazing would it be, to never have skin problems again, only the wonderful gift of awareness and communion with the living fabric of your being?

So, how do you use your Skintuition to decode what your specific skin manifestations are telling you?

You ask!  

The first step is to get comfortable talking to and with your body, then with your skin.

When you ask, you quiet the mind and relax the body, and then with your inner voice, ask your body what you need to know. 

To start, frame it like this: "Truth, body, what do I need to know about this deep wrinkle/ dark spot/rash forming a pattern on my face?"

Then I wait and stay open to impressions, ideas, and emotions.

I tune in to whether or not there is a lightness or heavy feeling in my body.

You won't be receiving any booming voices ( actually, maybe you will 😅), but you will receive awarenesses and nudges, and as time goes on, you'll simply know.

Once you get the hang of this, you can use this skill to pick products, make food choices, and become highly tuned to what is contributive to you and what is not.

If I had to pick one superpower to share with you to get started on your journey with Higher Self Beauty, this would be it. 

If you require additional support and assistance decoding what messages your skin is trying to send to you, book a 1:1 with me and start learning to speak fluent YOU with the beautiful messages coming through your skin.
