From Inner Work to Outer Glow

There’s something profound that happens when you spend ten days immersed in Joe Dispenza’s teachings. As I sit here in the soft morning light, I’m realizing just how beautifully his work blends with the way I understand skincare, facials, and the deeper layers of self-care.

All retreat long, we’ve explored the idea of the “old self” and the “new self.”
The self shaped by past thoughts, familiar emotions, and automatic stress patterns…
And the self you’re consciously choosing to become.

And suddenly, it hit me:
This is exactly what I witness every day in my salon.

Your Skin Tells One Story… But Your Thoughts Tell Another

When a woman lies down on my treatment bed, I don’t just see her skin — I feel her beliefs.

So many women arrive with thoughts like:

  • “My skin is terrible.”

  • “I’m aging too fast.”

  • “I look tired.”

  • “Something is wrong with me.”

Joe’s work reminds us that when we repeat the same thoughts and feel the same emotions, we keep recreating the same reality — not only in our minds, but in our nervous system, our hormones, our inflammation… and our skin.

Your skin is not separate from your inner world.
It carries your stories, it reflects your pace, and it listens to the way you speak to yourself.

Touch Goes Deeper Than the Skin and Shows Outer Glow

When I place my hands on someone’s face, I’m not just working with her skin.
I’m meeting her relationship with herself.

So take a moment with me — right here as you read.

If it feels comfortable:

Place one hand on your heart.
Place the other gently on your cheek or jaw.

Inhale softly…
Exhale slowly…

Then ask yourself:

“What old story am I still telling about my skin or my body?”

Maybe it’s:

  • “My skin always breaks out.”

  • “Nothing works for me.”

  • “I look older than I feel.”

  • “I hate my pores.”

Just observe it.
At the retreat, we practice noticing without judgment — simply recognizing:

“Ah, this is my old self. This is my old story.”

Rehearsing the New Self

Now imagine your “new self” — the version of you who relates to her skin with softness rather than criticism.

How does she speak to herself in the mirror?

Maybe she says:

  • “Hi my love, I see you.”

  • “Thank you for protecting me.”

  • “I’m learning to take care of you with patience.”

This is what Joe Dispenza calls rehearsing a new future.
You feel the emotions of your future self until your body starts to understand:

“This is who I am now.”

And your skincare routine can become that rehearsal.

Turning Skincare Into a Meditation

Tonight, when you stand in your bathroom, try this:

Slow down.
Breathe.
Massage your face the way you would touch your future self.

You’re not just removing makeup or cleansing your skin.
You’re sending messages to your nervous system:

  • I am safe.

  • I am worthy of care.

  • I don’t need to fight my body.

When your body feels safer, your skin naturally follows —
less tension, less inflammation, more glow.

A Simple Practice for Tonight

Choose one sentence from your “new self.”

Just one.

It might be:

  • “My skin is healing.”

  • “I’m safe in my body.”

  • “I deserve gentle touch.”

  • “I’m learning to love myself.”

Repeat it quietly as your hands touch your skin.
Let your hands carry that message in.

This is how you bring retreat energy home.
This is how skincare becomes a ritual of becoming. of inner healing to outer glow

Becoming Your New Self, One Touch at a Time

After ten days of deep internal work, this is my clearest insight:

Skincare isn’t separate from healing.
It’s one of the most intimate ways you meet yourself every day.

And tonight, when you touch your face, remember:

You’re not just doing skincare.
You’re gently becoming your new self.
