1 Gentle Cleansing Cream – Dampen face with warm water. Apply Gentle Cleansing Cream and smooth on to face and neck in soft round massage movements. Add warm water to fingertips with foam cleanser. Remove with warm compresses and pat face dry with tissue.

2 Soothing Exfoliator – Mix two teaspoons of hot water with one teaspoon of powder until powder dissolves into a thick and creamy texture. Apply to entire face, neck, and décolleté with a mask brush, avoiding lip and eye area. Occlude face with plastic wrap and apply a warm towel on top to maintain heat and moisture. You can also add steam for warmth. Let stand for five to seven minutes. Once you remove the towel and plastic wrap, massage residue into the skin for two to three minutes to spread and maximize absorption of the antioxidant rich plants, vitamins, and minerals. Rinse thoroughly with warm compresses. Discard remaining mix.

3 Active Toner – Lightly apply Active Toner to entire face with moistened cotton pad, avoiding eye area. Conduct extractions if necessary. Disinfect extraction sites with additional Active Toner.

4 Base Cream Mask – Spread a moderate layer of Base Cream Mask on face and neck. Massage most of the product into the skin, leaving a slightly visible residual film. Do not remove. Follow immediately with Silk Fibers and Silk Fiber Activator.

5 Silk Fibers and Silk Fibers Activator – Use approximately one full sheet of Silk Fiber per treatment. Break the fiber into small pieces and apply it directly on top of the Base Cream Mask. With one hand, release small drops of Silk Fiber Activator onto the Silk Fibers. Use the other hand to gently massage the area until the fibers dissolve and are absorbed into the skin. Conduct appropriate facial massage for your client’s skin type. Continue immediately with Step 6. Do not rinse off.

6 Silk Multivitamin Drops – Apply several drops and massage into the face and neck. Apply slight pressure for optimal skin stimulation. Massage until completely absorbed. Conclude by gently applying pressure to the face with your warm outstretched hands.

7 Remodeling Mask – Mix approximately three to four tablespoons of Remodeling Mask powder into a bowl and slowly add approximately two tablespoons of cold water while swiftly mixing to reach a thick smooth consistency (example: thick mayonnaise consistency). Spread mask generously to entire face and more thinly to the neck area. Leave mask on to dry for approximately 10 to 15 minutes without facial movement to enhance the wrinkle-smoothing properties of this mask. Expect the mixture to dry into a firm elastic mask that molds, supports, and lifts the client’s skin. Gently peel mask off and remove any remaining traces of the mask and excess residue with wet compresses. Conclude with the application of Silky Serum.

8 Silky Serum – Gently massage Silky Serum into the face with smooth, upward strokes to create a smooth skin finish.

    Upselling and add-ons – a challenging subject to talk about even in the best of times. But here we are in the middle of an economic crisis, so you must be asking yourself how we could possibly consider this a reasonable topic when you are just happy you are able to sustain your clientele. Many of you are probably thinking there is no way you would jeopardize that relationship by asking the client to spend more money. All of which are perfectly reasonable thoughts and questions. However, I will ask you to put them in a box briefly, clear your mind, and be open to consideration for just a moment.

    Let me give you an example of an effective suggestion that happens millions of times, everyday, all around the world. You go to your favorite restaurant; you sit down, and look over the menu. Your server comes to the table and takes your order, you tell him what you would like and he confirms your order then says, “Would you like a salad with that tonight, or can I interest you in a glass of wine?” A perfectly harmless question, that was neither painful nor offensive. At worst you say “No, thank you.” At best, he just enhanced your dining experience, increased your bill, and ultimately his tip. Job well done!

  • Creating the Ideal Retail Mix - December 2008 Creating the Ideal Retail Mix - December 2008
    by Melinda Minton

    Selling retail is an essential part of a well run spa. This is true not only because the additional revenue is so crucial to a spa's bottom line, but also because prescriptive home care is the necessary second step to the professional care given to a client in the spa. While mastering the retail sale can be difficult from a team or individual perspective, there are methods for making your spa’s retail routine hum.

     

     

    Your Spa's Style

    Oftentimes spas try to sell a bit of everything in an attempt to accommodate everyone. This can be a fatal error. The more fragmented your retail mix the more clients and staff will be confused. There must be a driving force behind your spa philosophy. Are you primarily a spa focused in on medical skin care, contouring services, water therapies, or all organic non-ablative therapies? Before you can determine the best retail mix for your spa, you really need to dig deep and understand your theme, focus, and primary therapeutic offerings. Moreover, remember that if you can’t get the product on them in the treatment room—there is a much smaller chance that the client will be taking the product home with them for further use when not at the spa. Integrating the treatment experience with the retail experience is crucial. When determining your retail mix, be cognizant of your client. Do you primarily offer clinical services or is your treatment mix somewhat more “fluffy” or gift-oriented?

  • Deal or No Deal Deal or No Deal

    When Sarah Hughes skated off with the gold medal, she pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history. Her surprisingly simple secret? “I didn’t skate for a gold medal. I went out and had a great time.”

    Athletes say it all the time: “I just went out there and had fun.” And, admittedly, they do look like they’re having a great time.

    Fortunately, fun isn’t the sole province of superstar athletes. It can work for the rest of us in the skin care industry, too. The link between having fun and business success has been proven in countless studies. When we’re having fun on the job, we are more creative and more productive.

     

  • Sugar... Not Just for Coffee Anymore Sugar... Not Just for Coffee Anymore

    by Lina Kennedy

    A couple of decades ago, offering cream and sugar for anything other than coffee or tea would have sounded quite ridiculous! But in today’s realm of aesthetics and cosmetics promoting coffee and chocolate to soothe even the jitteriest skin, or offering sugar as a real hair removal solution to an age-old problem is very realistic. And as post treatment, applying a good trans-dermal cream to hydrate and moisturize the skin is simply a great, soothing and natural way to complete your sugaring service.

    Jan Marini - August 2010: A Legend in Aesthetics
    Jan Marinin

     

    Those who know Jan Marini refer to her as a visionary. While Jan might agree in principle, she sees this characterization as both a strength and a weakness. She envies those who are able to savor the moment. Where others view life in snapshots that capture real time, Jan sees broad borderless landscapes and endless possibilities. She does not see a product, she sees a business and in that same instance her mind is flooded with the business plan and all the accompanying details. Even when she is not envisioning empires, she is never satisfied with the status quo.
    Given her background, perhaps this is an understandable if not necessary survival tool. Jan’s mother, Florence, was a single mom of three boys in an era when divorce carried a major stigma. Florence remarried and unexpectedly gave birth to Jan late in life. The family struggled to live a very meager existence. Her father died when she was eight years old and the family was thrust into poverty. Florence worked only menial jobs and food was often scarce. It was no wonder that Jan viewed her world not as it was, but as it might be, and that she softened the bleak reality by envisioning a larger and more optimistic scenario brimming with potential. Because of her early circumstances, Jan is adamant that in order to succeed you must be tenacious, doggedly determined, and completely focused on the ultimate goal.
    Jan describes herself as a product researcher. “Back in the early days I was considered a product ingredient expert. I lectured to medical professionals, skin care professionals, and consumers about how ingredients really performed and what they could realistically expect to provide.” She also did talk radio and T.V., because as she puts it, “consumers love to hear about ingredients and whether their products really work. It is a popular topic that lends itself to talk shows.”
