Living in Van Buren, AR means beautiful natural surroundings, a welcoming community — and plenty of humid, hot weather. But did you know that our unique climate can directly affect your skin’s health?
At Holistic Esthetics, I specialize in clean, intuitive skincare that works with your skin — not against it. Here are a few of my favorite local tips to help your skin stay fresh, healthy, and glowing in the Arkansas heat.
🌞 1. Embrace Lightweight, Hydrating Products
Humidity may make your skin feel “moist,” but don’t skip moisturizer! Your skin still needs hydration — just choose lightweight, oil-free products that won’t clog pores or feel heavy. I recommend aloe-based or hyaluronic acid-rich serums to keep your glow without the grease.
💡 Book a skin consult with me to find the perfect local-friendly product match for your skin type.
💧2. Drink More Water Than You Think
Arkansas summers are sneaky — even when you’re not sweating, your body is losing hydration. Your skin is the first place dehydration shows up: dullness, fine lines, even breakouts.
Carry a reusable water bottle everywhere (yes, even into Walmart!) and aim for half your body weight in ounces each day.
🌿3. Support Your Skin Holistically
At Holistic Esthetics, I treat skin from the inside out. I often recommend:
Local, seasonal produce (watermelon, cucumber, blueberries!)
Lymphatic drainage facials to reduce puffiness & inflammation
Mindfulness techniques for stress-induced breakouts
Your skin is a reflection of your whole self — not just your skincare routine.
🧖 4. Consider a Monthly Facial for Prevention
If you live in Van Buren or nearby Fort Smith, scheduling a monthly facial isn’t just a luxury — it’s an act of prevention. With regular professional treatments, I help clients:
Detoxify from environmental buildup
Rebalance oil production
Deep-clean congested summer skin
