Description

Welcome, welcome, welcome everyone to another solo episode on The Rachel Varga podcast. Today we are going to be discussing a topic that impacts not only our emotional well-being but also our skin health and overall radiance - trauma. Trauma can affect us on a cellular level, leading to premature aging and other skin issues. But there is hope. In this episode, we will be exploring strategies to help listeners move through trauma that will impact their skin health, radiance and help to slow aging with research on trauma release and the benefits on our cellular health.

1. The link between trauma and skin health When we experience trauma, our bodies go into fight or flight mode, releasing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, the prolonged release of these hormones can lead to chronic inflammation, which is a contributing factor to a variety of skin issues including acne, eczema, rosacea, and premature aging.

There is a significant amount of research that supports the link between trauma and skin health. A study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that individuals who experienced childhood trauma had a higher incidence of skin issues in adulthood. Another study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that women who reported high levels of stress had a higher incidence of acne and other skin issues.

1. The benefits of releasing trauma on our cellular health Releasing trauma can have significant benefits for our cellular health. When we experience trauma, our cells can become damaged, leading to inflammation and oxidative stress. But when we work to release trauma, we can reduce inflammation and improve the function of our cells, leading to better overall health.

There is a growing body of research that supports the benefits of releasing trauma on our cellular health. A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that trauma release exercises led to a decrease in oxidative stress and inflammation markers in the body. Another study published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology found that trauma release exercises led to a decrease in cortisol levels and improved immune function.

1. Strategies for improving skin health and radiance through trauma release One of the most effective ways to improve skin health and radiance through trauma release is to address the underlying causes of stress and trauma. This can include working with a therapist, practicing mindfulness techniques such as meditation and yoga, and engaging in self-care practices such as exercise and adequate sleep.

In addition, using toxin-free skincare products can support healthy skin and aid in the release of trauma. Rachel Varga's skincare line, available at rachelvarga.ca, is free of parabens, phthalates, artificial dyes, and fragrances. These ingredients can be harmful to the skin and disrupt the body's hormonal balance, leading to further inflammation and skin issues.

1. Facial massage and other treatments to support skin health Facial massage can be an effective way to release tension and promote relaxation, which can support healthy skin. Other treatments that can aid in trauma release and promote healthy skin include lymphatic drainage massage and acupuncture.

In conclusion, trauma can have a significant impact on our skin health and overall well-being. But there are many strategies that we can use to help move through trauma and support healthy skin. By addressing the underlying causes of stress and trauma, we can improve our cellular health, reduce inflammation, and promote a radiant and healthy complexion. Using toxin-free skincare products, such as those available at rachelvarga.ca, can further support skin health and aid in the release of trauma. Thank you for listening to the Rachel Varga podcast.
