The Art of Intuitive Skin
The Art of Intuitive Skincare
By: Christa Jutras, Esthetician and Founder of Everly Grace Whole Beauty
Intuitive skincare is a holistic approach to taking care of your skin that goes beyond following a
rigid step-by-step routine. It involves actively listening to your body and understanding its
unique needs to achieve a healthy and radiant glow.
Instead of the same old boring deliberate steps or using products just because they are popular or
recommended by others, intuitive skincare encourages you to listen to your body’s signals and
determine what your skin, body, and soul need. This means paying attention to how your skin
feels, reacts, and changes throughout the day or in different environments. The art of Self-Care
should be fun, and taking care of ourselves should always be at the top of the list.
To practice intuitive skincare, start by observing how your skin responds to different factors such
as weather conditions, stress levels, diet, and lifestyle choices. Take note of any patterns or
triggers that may be affecting the health and appearance of your skin. At Everly Grace Beauty
we recommend keeping a journal for one week to observe your skin.
Instead of sticking to a rigid routine that may not suit your skin’s current needs, adapt your
skincare regimen based on what you observe. This could mean simplifying or adjusting the
products you use depending on how your skin feels at any given time.
Additionally, intuitive skincare emphasizes self-care practices that go beyond topical treatments.
This includes prioritizing adequate sleep, managing stress levels through relaxation techniques or
exercise, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in nutrients for overall wellness.
By practicing intuitive skincare, you can develop a deeper understanding of what works best for
your unique skin type and condition. It allows you to tailor your approach based on what truly
benefits your skin’s health and radiance while promoting overall well-being.
