Step 1 Remove makeup if necessary. Cleanse the skin with the Glyco Creamy Cleanser. Remove the cleanser with warm water. Repeat.
Step 2 Degrease the skin by applying DermaPrime solution to a saturated 2x2 gauze pad and vigorously remove all traces of oil on the skin.
Step 3 Apply a thin layer (5g) of the Power Alpha Peptide Resurfacer to the face using a 2x2 gauze pad, beginning with the forehead, followed by the cheeks and chin (working down and around the face). Allow treatment to exfoliate the skin for up to 10 minutes (as a stand alone treatment) or up to five minutes when performed as an add-on or as part of a combination treatment. Fan the client’s skin to provide comfort. Tip: After the application of the Power Alpha Peptide
Resurfacer with the 2x2 gauze pad, you may also massage the resurfacer into the skin for added penetration until it is time to remove the treatment. If the skin gets dry during the massage portion and you have any of the Power Alpha Peptide Resurfacer left in your dish, you may add more to the skin for additional “slip.”
Step 4 Halt the activity of the Power Alpha Peptide Resurfacer by applying the Neutralizing Solution to a fully saturated 2x2 gauze pad and press into the skin.
Step 5 Soothe the skin by placing cool towels to the face until the skin feels cool to the touch.
Step 6 Complete the treatment by applying Revive Eye Firm under the eyes. Next, apply Advanced B5 Serum, Collagen Activating Complex, and Antioxidant Soothing Serum to the face, neck, and décolleté. Protect the skin with ZinClear SPF 30.
Step 1 Begin with WRx™ PROFESSIONAL PEPTIDE ACTIVATOR hydrophilic cleanser using effleurage strokes to remove all makeup and dermal debris from the surface of the skin. Massage for two minutes. Remove cleanser with a warm/tepid (avoid HOT water) wet facial cloth followed with damp cotton pads to remove excess cleanser. Rinse with a misting of AGE MANAGEMENT SKIN CARE SYSTEM SKIN RECOVERY MIST.
Step 2 Apply AGE MANAGEMENT SKIN CARE SYSTEM GENTLE FACIAL WASH to eliminate water-soluble pollutants. Remove cleanser with a warm/tepid wet facial cloth followed with damp cotton pads to do away with excess cleanser. Rinse skin with SKIN RECOVERY MIST. Saturate a clean cotton pad with GLYMED PLUS® LACTIC ACTION PRE-TREATMENT LOTION and apply evenly over the skin.
Step 3 Pour two tablespoons of GLYMED PLUS® CHOCOLATE POWER SKIN RESCUE PEEL into a small dish and with gloved fingers, apply evenly over facial “wrinkle zones” first, followed with a second application over the entire face including the décolleté and back of hands. Massage CHOCOLATE PEEL into “wrinkle zones” for up to 1 minute then leave on skin for 3 - 5 minutes total, or until erythema develops in the cheek region. On SOC skin, allow to remain on skin for up to 3 minutes. To remove, neutralize with cool water and thoroughly flush all traces of CHOCOLATE PEEL from the skin.
Step 4 Apply the following liberally: Squeeze two or more tablespoons of CELL SCIENCE® CHOCOLATE POWER SKIN RESCUE MASQUE into your palm and apply to face, back of hands, lips, neck and décolleté. Leave on skin up to 10 minutes. While masque is on, exfoliate LIPS ONLY with a soft tooth brush, lift any dead skin, followed with masque removal from the face, neck, décolleté, lips and the hands last. Remove masque with wet, warm facial cloths.
Step 5 Pump WRx™ PC 10 AMINO ACID Injecta-ceutical™ COMPLEX into palm of hand and apply to all treated areas. This barrier repair serum acts as a natural surrogate to open and replenish cellular pathways critical for optimal regeneration of the SC (stratum corneum). Massage thoroughly into skin. Apply CELL SCIENCE® LIP SCIENCE to the freshly exfoliated lips. Massage into the membrane the mega-replenishment ingredients to plump, hydrate and nourish the lips.
Step 6 In the palm of your hand pump 2 - 4 drops of CELL SCIENCE® CELL PROTECTION SERUM and 1/2 tablespoon of CELL SCIENCE® ULTRA HYDRO GEL. Mix together then apply to the skin and massage until this epidermal nourishment disappears into the SC.
Step 7 Apply a liberal application of AGE MANAGEMENT SKIN CARE SYSTEM INTENSE PEPTIDE SKIN RECOVERY COMPLEX, a powerful Injecta-ceutical™ cream containing 5 powerful amino acid complexes that together carry instructions to promote renewal of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) proteins (Collagen, Elastin, Fibronectin), allowing the skin to fight against aging. Massage this “Peptide Infusion” into the skin until the cream begins to disappear.
Step 8 Follow the “Peptide Infusion” massage with an application of CELL SCIENCE® CELL RECOVERY BALM to establish a micro thin epithelial barrier to promote healthy cellular homeostasis. Always ensure skin is protected from UVR insult using AGE MANAGEMENT SKIN CARE SYSTEM PHOTO-AGE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GEL 30+.
The concept of exfoliation is nothing new, and this most certainly is not the first article you have ever read on the topic. There are ever changing products and equipment for exfoliation. However, the one thing that doesn’t change is the physiological way your skin functions. With that in mind, let’s talk about what it is, why we need it, and how to determine when enough is enough!
Summertime can be a wonderful opportunity for spa therapists and technicians to become busy with summer-inspired upgrades to treatments. By combining your awareness of your client’s needs and preferences with knowledge of the products you offer, you can easily “up sell” a treatment. You help a client decide to purchase a little extra something or “upgrade” a level before starting the treatment. It does not have to be a major change, just an adjustment to the plan. In some areas, summers tend to be a slower season, mostly due to the migration north of those spa clients who are snowbirds.
A. Remove all makeup with a few drops of Vitamin Veil Cleanser on moistened pad. Rinse.
B. Place a small amount of Hydrating Cleanser onto fingertips and apply to client’s face and neck. Cleanse in circular motion, remove with cloth, and rinse thoroughly.
A. Apply an even layer of EpiPrep with fan brush on face and neck. It may be applied to the under eye area within two centimeters of the lower lid; DO NOT apply to upper eyelid. Time for 30 minutes.
B. Remove excess with cloth. Wash again with Hydrating Cleanser removing all traces of EpiPrep.
A. With pipette, dispense three milliliters of Cellular SWiCH™ into a small cup.
B. Apply one thin coat of Cellular SWiCH™ solution with the small fan brush. DO NOT go over areas more than once. Time for 30 minutes. DO NOT wash treated area.
A. Apply Fraction V evenly over entire treated area. Complete and detach SWiCH™ “At Home Care instructions.”
Step 1 - Gently wash away dead skin, makeup, and impurities with Fruitzyme® Cleanser. Natural fruit enzymes effectively cleanse the skin for a nice, clean pallet to work with. Once the cleanser is removed, tone the skin with Fruitzyme® Conditioner. Rich in enzymes and lactic acid, this skin conditioner removes residue, provides antioxidants, and hydrates the skin.
Step 2 - Apply Essential Eyes: Amino Peptide Complex with vitamins A, B, C, and D to the outside edge of the eyes and lips. Concentrate Essential Eyes over problematic areas, such as crow’s feet, marionette lines, and the vermillion border of the lips. Essential Eyes contains many beneficial vitamins for skin support and antioxidant protection, along with a phytosterol complex, palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 for stimulating microcirculation and collagen development in the skin.
Step 3 - Turn the galvanic pen on and set to low, medium, or high, depending on your client’s tolerance level. When using the galvanic pen, one hand must touch the head while the other hand maneuvers the pen over the desired area. This completes the electrical current that is sent from the tip of the pen.
Step 4 - Once the pen is on, touch the tip of the pen to the skin surface and move slowly over a dime sized area. Once the pen gives a quiet “beep” move to the next dime sized area of skin. Continue to penetrate Essential Eyes into the eye area with the galvanic pen until the product is completely absorbed into the skin. Working under the eye will help reduce puffiness, while manipulating the product around the crow’s feet and brow area promotes plumping and lifting.
Step 5 - Change your hand positioning before you begin the lip area. Place one hand at either the left or right mandible with the opposite hand conducting the motion of the pen. Start with a dime-sized area around the lips and move with each “beep.” Start with the lower area of the lip and work your way up the nasolabial fold. Once the marionette lines have been addressed, move to the upper lip and vermillion border. This pattern of action will help plump up nasolabial folds and lips, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Step 6 - Now that all of the Essential Eyes Complex is penetrated into our key areas of the face, let’s add some finishing touches! Lip Renewal is applied to the lips for additional moisture and firming. This moisture rich lip rejuvenator contains cocoa butter, witch hazel, jojoba, green tea, and palmitoyl oligopeptide for antioxidant protection and improvement in microcirculation. Sales Tip: Have Lip Renewal and Essential Eyes at the checkout counter waiting for your client as they exit your treatments room. Tell them a little about the product and what it can do for their skin.
Step 7 - After applying Lip Renewal, use a small amount of Post Peel Balm to give a glossy shine to the lips and brows. This will enhance the glow of their skin after this treatment.
• reduce inflammation • improve heart and circulatory health • flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, relieving muscle pain and aching joints and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances • improve the body’s ability to use insulin • Improve nerve function by regulating electrolytes. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood. • Reduce stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
