So if you’ve read our past couple of blog posts on beauty, they were pretty poetic (if we can say so ourselves). And that’s great and all, but we want to get a little down to earth.  We know what it’s like to look in the mirror in the morning and think to ourselves, “Wow, I look pretty haggard today, wtf happened to my face?!”

Let’s be real, getting older, raising kids, working hard, living in Boulder, Colorado with dry air and harsh sun take their toll on our skin and how we look. 

And as the the Queer Eye Fab Five like to remind us, how we look is tied to how we feel. It’s a two way street of course. We usually look pretty good when we feel pretty good and vice versa. And sometimes, if we’re not feeling great, we can put on a fun outfit and perk up a bit. 

Why are we getting into all of this?

Because Noah is now offering Facial Acupuncture Treatments. 

What is a Facial Acupuncture treatment you ask?

Facial Acupuncture is a millenia old tradition that seeks to optimize a person’s health with the intention of enhancing one’s appearance. We work with the internal systems of our body: improving the liver’s ability to detox, improving blood flow throughout the body and to the skin specifically, improving lung function to increase oxygenation of the blood just to name a few. And we include focused stimulation of the muscle and skin in the face to reduce wrinkles and sagging, and to improve elasticity and muscle tone, and increase collagen production.

The facial treatments, which include points on the body for health, are deeply relaxing and still offer that “Acu-stoned” feeling you may be familiar with at the end of the treatment.

In Chinese medicine we see the face as a window into a person’s heart and soul and a reflection of the life they’ve lived. Our relationship to our past impacts what’s alive in us today and that’s something that we can change. We can change our narratives about who we are and how we face into our lives, and we can walk a new walk with a new gaze.

This isn’t botox. We’re not injecting a neurotoxin into your face, we can’t override your physiology, and we won’t paralyze the muscles in your face and reduce your ability to express yourself. We will support your body’s ability for more vibrant expression.

You might feel great about how you look but want to slow down and prevent aging.

You may have noticed that you’re turning a corner and don’t look quite as good as you expected yourself to look at your age.

You might just want to take care of yourself, to nurture your body and calm your heart, and include a little beautification as an added perk.
