Fall Aromatherapy

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

Fall is in the air, and I know I’m not the only person excited about that! Bring fall right into your business with aromatherapy. Some of the popular spicy fall scents include cinnamon, clove, and rosemary. There are so many more options that make phenomenal blends too!

My suggestions are:

ESS Cinnamon Leaf Pure Essential Oil

A spicy-sweet aroma which blends well with the citrus oils.

ESS Sweet Orange Pure Essential Oil

Sweet Orange Pure Essential Oil is a warming and nourishing oil with a refreshing aroma that
soothes and relaxes.

Blends well with clary sage, frankincense, geranium, lavender, lemon, myrrh, neroli, and spice oils such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

ESS Clove Bud Pure Essential Oil

Clove Bud Pure Essential Oil has a familiar strong and spicy aroma that blends well with citrus oils and other spices.

Pure-ssage Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary has a clear, fresh, herbaceous aroma. It9s great for muscular aches and pains.

Absolute Aromas – Basil Essential Oil

Offer your clients an aromatic experience with the Absolute Aromas Basil Essential Oil. This oil has a clear, spicy aroma. Basil has a stimulating effect on the brain and nervous system; thus, it is great for nervous debility, poor concentration, and mental fatigue.

I love lavender! In the beauty industry, it is used in so many ways, and most commonly for relaxation. I recently sampled these lavender masks and were wowed with the results of my skin!

Lavender Calming Soft Mask

This soothing mask reduces skin inflammation, such as sunburn and sensitivity, prevents the effects of skin scarring, helps tighten pores, and regenerates new skin cells.

Lavender has been known for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-septic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its clean, pure aroma is an adaptogen that encourages balance for the entire nervous system.

generation balances sebum production and effectively reinvigorates damaged skin after sunburn.

Lavender calming properties help the skin renew and energize, delivering new vitality. The aroma soothes nervous exhaustion, restlessness, and increases mental activity.

Pro Tip: Offer these masks as a soothing finish, for treatments that may irritate the skin such as waxing, microdermabrasion, radiofrequency, and more!

Hot New Retail for Waxers!

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

Mancine is one of my favorite wax lines! They are imported from Australia, and are simply amazing!

Mancine waxes are extremely hygienic and spread further than other waxes. Salon owners and beauty therapists worldwide agree that Mancine reduces treatment time and last longer, enabling more treatments per day and increased profits for your business.

Don’t even get me started on their Ingrown Zone line. I have never seen a product prevent or remove ingrown hairs like this! Trust me, I have tried them all.

But wait, there’s more! We have just added more Mancine products, making phenomenal retail products. Try Mancine body wash, Mancine salt scrub, Mancine body butter, and Mancine body and hand lotion!


Mancine Hot Salt Body Scrub – Lavender & Witch-Hazel is my favorite! I am always looking for a great scrub exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs, and this is the winner.

Lavender & Witch-Hazel Body Scrub consists of marine extracts that have been blended with Australian Sea Salts then mixed with Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Soya Bean oil and fruit acids to form a deep, exfoliating body scrub to remove dry dead skin.

Vitamin E blended with natural botanicals and Sea Salts create a rich emollient leaving your skin enriched, stimulated and gorgeously glowing.

Pro Tip: Use any of the Mancine products to put together retail packages!

Try to combine a Terry Exfoliating Mitt and Mancine Body Wash for your clients. Coconut and Vanilla make the perfect end of summer scent!

Got Oxygen?

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

Why Oxygen?

Basic science teaches us our skin needs oxygen to stay healthy. As we age, circulation in our capillaries slows down, decreasing the amount of oxygen and other nutrients reaching our skin cells. This leads to dehydration of the skin. Oxygen promotes the skin’s natural ability to heal against aging and environmental stresses. Adding oxygen to your facials will soothe and refresh your skin with a pampering spa experience!

Try introducing oxygen into your services by using the Oxygenating Complex Ampoule!

Ampoules provide immediately noticeable results and offer versatility with any skincare line or
treatment protocol. These sterile dosages of pure active ingredients feature a unique fluid carrier that provides quick penetration into the skin. Ampoules are intended to be used in conjunction with freeze-dried collagen masks, peel away marine masques, massage fleece masks, or under a favorite moisturizer.

It repairs, moisturizes, and softens the skin while providing an emollient to cutaneous superficial layers of the skin significantly increasing its oxygen intake.

Pro Tip: Apply the ampoule of choice to the client’s skin and infuse the concentrated ingredients with ultrasonic or galvanic current. This is an effective, low-cost complement to facial treatments and can also be used on the neck, décolleté, arms, and hands.
