Client Cool Down

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

There is no way around it, sometimes the treatments we are performing may not be the most comfortable. Often times there is a slight downtime or the client is leaving with a red or irritated face. What are you offering to boost your business and increase client satisfaction?

What about a cooling mask? Use a mask with the cooling effect to calm down skin after laser treatments, microderm, chemical peels, waxing, and more!

This mask is both cooling and refreshing!
It stimulates cell vitality, promotes cell regeneration, tones, tightens, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and has strong antioxidant properties!

Red Carpet Ready: The Oxygen Facial

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

Celebrities are swearing by this oxygen facial technique for smoother and plumper skin!

What is an oxygen facial?

This treatment is designed to nourish the skin and promote collagen growth. 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. Adding oxygen-enriched air to your facials will soothe and refresh your skin with a pampering spa experience.

This oxygen facial delivers oxygen to the deepest layers of the skin and makes it glow!
Benefits Include:
  • Boosts collagen production
  • Detoxifies the skin
  • Speeds up Cell Turnover
  • No Painful side effects
  • Moisturizes skin
  • Makes skin super radiant
  • Heals Acne
  • Fast Recovery Time
  • Results are Instant
  • Treats Uneven skin tone
The Micro Mist Spray Brush envelops the face with a refreshing, oxygen-enriched mist. Incorporate skincare products into the spray brush reservoir to dispense skincare and oxygen-enriched air in one easy movement for beautiful, dewy skin.

A Unique Skincare Service -Facial Cupping

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

I am OBSESSED with watching beauty videos to find out what is new and trending. This easy, add on service has really caught my attention!

Ever thought of Facial Cupping?

Facial cupping is a pain-free treatment that gently lifts the facial tissue for a natural “face-lift” effect by improving lymph and blood circulation through the facial muscles and smoothing out visible wrinkles. Incorporating Facial Cupping into your treatments is painless and relaxing and used by some as an alternative to medical facelifts and botox treatments.

Plus, Facial Cupping has been used to reduce the symptoms of sinus infections and those suffering from TMJ disorders. Pretty cool right?

So essentially, this service provides the same results of some pricy equipment, at a minimal cost to you!

Take a look at this inexpensive kit to get you started- Silicone Facial Massage Cup Set

This 3-piece Facial Cupping set is perfect for use around the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks and other small curved areas of the face and neck.

  • 1 mini-cup
  • 1 medium cup
  • 1 large cup
  • Carrying bags

This Facial Cupping Set is made from high quality, food-grade silicone material which is characterized by high and low-temperature resistance, acid resistance, aging resistance, and easy cleaning.

Today I want to tell you a little bit about Lavender Essential Oil, specifically

Lavender is the most widely used essential oil in aromatherapy, particularly for its relaxing properties. 10 ml.

This oil has been certified as organic by the Soil Association, which means you can trace every single ingredient back to the farm where it was organically grown. Each oil is unique and fully certified to give you the highest quality possible.

Ingredients:
This is a natural Essential Oil produced by steam distillation of the bio-mass of Lavender flowers and consists of Terpenes, Terpene alcohols, and Esters – principally Linalyl Acetate.

A Magic Wand!

Posted on by Laurie Kerner

The Beauty Wand is innovative because of its unique design with four rollers that are perfectly spaced to fit the curvatures of the face. The spacing and angle of each roller are precisely placed for hard-to-reach areas like between the eyebrows and around the eyes and mouth. With time, the rollers can also help to achieve a V-shaped face, often considered a sign of youth. As skin gets older and loses collagen, elasticity, fat, and muscle tone, it begins to sag around the mouth and jowl. The placement of the rollers, along with the muscle-firming and collagen-stimulating benefits of the microcurrent, helps to keep the skin taut, firm, and V-shaped.

Julie Lindh Ageless Beauty Wand

What does it do?

  1. The four rollers massage away puffiness, release tension in the face, and increase blood circulation and oxygen – giving the skin a radiant glow naturally.
  2. The micro-current feature helps to firm-up muscle tone and contour the face!


Pro Tip: Offer as a retail product for the best results. It is recommended to use the wand as part of your AM and PM skincare routine for 5-minutes at a time.

The skin will first start to look fresh and glowing. Over time, it will start to look firmer, toned, and contoured too!

Your clients who purchase this will also see the benefit of coming in for regular microcurrent treatments, and is a great way to promote your packages!
