Sugar Detox & Skin

If you know me, you know skin is my obsession: radiant, supple, and glowing.  Tending to your skin means you can skip makeup, wake up with little to do, and feel younger.  Your skin is a living reflection of internal wellness. So much information can show up just by looking at your skin.
 
At the end I share a What Your Skin Is Trying to Tell You List.
 
Nothing transforms your skin faster than removing sugar.  See the difference in 5 short days with the Sugar Detox.  Sugar accelerates collagen breakdown, weakens elasticity, and leaves the skin dull and inflamed. 
 
Our Jolie Sugar Detox allows you to get a peak at what sugar is doing to your skin (and insides). Intentional cutting of sugar will show benefit within days: skin looks tighter, smoother, and more even. Your face begins to sculpt itself naturally as puffiness fades. This is where glow begins: from the inside out.
 
What to do now?
So let’s say sugar, sun, and stress has already begun to breakdown the collagen in your skin. To restore strength, the skin must be gently and intelligently stimulated. 
 
My all time favorite stimulant is the LYMA Laser - I use it twice a day and it is worth every penny— working beneath the surface to rebuild collagen, refine texture, and lift facial contours.
 
No LYMA? There is a work around that is a deeply effective way to renew and lift the skin naturally.  Use a consistent combo of the 4 out of 6 of these options:

• Red Light Therapy or LED Masks – support collagen and even tone.
• Cold Therapy – daily ice rolling or cold plunges reduce inflammation, tighten pores.
• Facial Massage – lift, sculpt, and stimulate lymphatic flow.
• Weekly exfoliation – encourages fresh, radiant skin.
• Topical Vitamin C and Peptides – rebuild and protect the collagen matrix.
• Jolie Broth Latte – our signature inner-beauty ritual, rich in amino acids, minerals, and collagen-supportive nutrients to rebuild the skin from within.

​Just like you need clean, jolie style food -  your skin needs clean, potent skincare.  I use Laurel Skin care; but you choose something clean that works with your skin.  (secret preview: the January Reset will include a fabulous Laurel gift). 
 
Look for a whole-plant, biodynamic line that delivers living nutrition directly to the skin, rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids that calm inflammation and restore the skin barrier.
 
Makeup is chosen with the same care.  I am definitely a minimalist due to lack of time and skill with makeup.  What I look for are breathable, skin-loving formulas: mineral tints, luminous balms, and cream blushes.  Avoid heavy powders or matte finishes that dull the light (read radiance) of your skin.
Think of makeup as jewelry for the skin. When your skin is healthy and hydrated, makeup becomes optional.
 
With love + light,
