Ep. 33: Support Your Skin From Within, Why Less Really is More: A Conversation with Holistic Skin Care Specialist Jess Arnaudin

Modern Body: Pilates & Movement for Life

In this episode, Aly DiRoma invites Jess Arnaudin, a holistic esthetician and author of Plant Based Beauty, to chat about the power of simple, intentional skincare and why less is often more when it comes to our routines. Jess shares her philosophy on skin as an outward reflection of internal well-being, making this conversation a must-listen for anyone seeking a more mindful approach to skincare.

Jess’s journey from a fast-paced med spa on Fifth Avenue to creating her holistic skin studio is filled with heart and wisdom. She explains how addressing the body’s fascia, lymphatic, and nervous systems during treatments can transform the skin from the inside out. As Jess beautifully puts it, “Your skin is intelligent; it knows what to do. So much of what we do should just nudge it in the right direction.”

In this episode, you’ll discover the magic of simplifying your skincare routine, using clean, effective products, and incorporating small daily rituals—like facial massage and gua sha—that bring balance to both skin and spirit. Plus, Jess and Aly chat about their shared love of fascia work and how it all ties back to movement and well-being.

In This Episode:

• The importance of skincare rituals for overall well-being
• The power of a "less is more" approach to skincare
• How movement and fascia care support healthy, glowing skin
• Practical, easy-to-follow tips for skin nourishment
• Tools and techniques like gua sha, dry brushing, and oil cleansing
• Why holistic skincare is about more than just beauty—it’s about how you feel

Whether you’re a skincare novice or looking to fine-tune your routine, this conversation with Jess is packed with insights and practical advice that will inspire you to care for your skin in a more holistic, mindful way.
