While clients are always looking for the latest and greatest fad to clear their skin, there are a few stable and time-tested suggestions that professionals can offer clients to help them reach their skin care goals.

You are what you eat. What clients put into their body affects their skin. For clients who are not ready to completely modify their diet, suggest that they focus on modifying drinks and snacks. Instead of coffee in the afternoon, clients can drink a green juice that is rich in nutrients. Furthermore, instead of reaching for a soda or sweet tea, suggest that they drink fruit and vegetable-infused water.

Omegas, omegas, omegas! Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are responsible for the health of the cell membrane, which creates a barrier against harmful intrusions and provides a passageway for nutrients. Clients can increase their omega intake by snacking on flax seed and walnuts and eating more fish.

More facials, less problems. For the client who pops in once in a blue moon for a facial, encourage them to come into the spa on a more regular basis. Facials offer a professional cleaning that removes makeup buildup, dead skin, and impurities. While a good homecare routine is also vital to healthy skin, nothing can replace a professional extraction
and exfoliation.

Exfoliation station. Clients sometimes have a tendency to skip this step or not even know how often to exfoliate. However, exfoliation is extremely important to healthy skin because it helps shed and generate skin cells. Furthermore, exfoliation makes it easier for ingredients to penetrate the skin.
