What is in store for healthy beauty in this new era? More of the same, more refined, more advanced. Science is always pushing the frontiers of knowledge, and the world of beauty will adapt discoveries. In fact the past is helping the future, with the discovery and validation of “new” old plants, tribal wisdom, ancient lore.
But perhaps beauty lies in your own future. If you would like to be more informed about healthy beauty and wellbeing, look to adult education and holistic health centers for courses on anatomy and physiology, nutrition, aromatherapy, reflexology, massage, grooming etc. If you are hooked of feeling and looking good and if you like the idea of helping others to do the same, perhaps you would like a career in the field. There’s potential for a wide range of skills, interest, ages and level of education.
