Rejuvenating Moisturizer

This daily facial moisturizer with niacinamide is designed to provide intense hydration. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture leaves skin feeling smooth and nourished.

Harnessing the power of botanical-infused water and Hyaluronic Acid, blended with Vitamins E, C, and B, it creates a powerful complex to lock in moisture.

+ Alleviates the signs of dry, dehydrated skin.
+ Rejuvenates the skin by increasing skin moisturization.
+ Improves the appearance of skin elasticity and suppleness.

+ Ideal for facial massage; its viscous texture supports the movement of massage rollers, Gua sha, and hands across face without tugging or dragging the skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Humectants | Botanicals | Vitamins | Peptide

Acetyl hexapeptide-37: works with the water channels (known as aquaporins) improving the water flux from the basal layer of the epidermis to the stratum corneum (surface layers) helping to provide balanced hydration.
Aloe vera: offers skin soothing properties, and antioxidant qualities, and serves as a hydrating agent.

Squalene: is a non-greasy emollient that helps prevent moisture loss and restores suppleness to the skin. It is also a source of beneficial fatty acids that help replenish skin. It can also help strengthen the skin’s barrier to help it be less prone to sensitivity and reactiveness and has antioxidant properties.

Hyaluronic Acid: helps draw and retain moisture on skin. Helps skin maintain its glowing, dewy appearance.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): has been shown to boost the hydrating ability of moisturizers so the skin’s surface can better resist the moisture loss that leads to recurrent dryness and flaky texture.

Vitamin B5: it functions as a humectant, attracting water to and holding it in the skin, as well as an emollient, smoothing and softening the skin. AKA mega-moisturizing ingredient.

Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate): antioxidant that helps neutralize skin-damaging free radicals and supports collagen-rich appearance.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): is a powerful antioxidant with natural skin conditioning properties. It helps protect the skin’s natural barrier and retain its moisture.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl): known to have antioxidant properties when applied topically to the skin.

Maltodextrin: is a plant-based sugar that is used in cosmetics and skincare products as a moisturizer and hydrating ingredient.

Glycerin: is an impressive skin moisturizing and softening agent.

Revitalizing Intimate Wellness: The World of Nonsurgical Genital Procedures 

In recent years, there has been a rise in nonsurgical genital procedures for both men and women. Such medical treatments are minimally invasive and not only boost confidence but can alleviate discomfort and even treat serious medical issues. The number of aesthetic treatments, as well as corrective surgeries, is on the rise, and these treatments are now becoming more and more common.   

GETTING INTIMATE 

Nonsurgical Vaginal Rejuvenation 

In the past, most genital surgical procedures were done out of necessity, such as repairs after obstetrical delivery, but in recent years, more and more women have started to seek out cosmetic treatments for downstairs. Vaginal rejuvenation is a broad term that covers several corrective and aesthetic procedures that are meant to correct problems that can occur after giving birth and during the aging process. Several treatments fall into the category of vaginal rejuvenation, including nonsurgical options. These procedures are targeted not only at tightening the inside of the vagina but also at improving the appearance of the labia minora, labia majora, and even amplifying the G-spot.

New Wave Wellness: Wellness Spa Experiences 

In today’s fast paced and stressful world, finding ways to relax, rejuvenate, and prioritize self-care has become increasingly important. Traditional spa experiences have been popular for their ability to create relaxation and pampering, but in recent years, a new wave of wellness experiences has emerged, offering unique and innovative ways to enhance our physical and mental health. We will look at a few experiences that have gained attention: sensory deprivation tanks, virtual reality, mindfulness and empowerment retreats, intravenous therapy, and cognitive enhancements.  

SENSORY DEPRIVATION TANKS 

Sensory deprivation tanks, sometimes called floatation tanks or isolation tanks, offer clients a chance to escape from the external world and immerse themselves in a world of complete relaxation. These tanks are filled with body temperature water that is saturated with Epsom salts. The Epsom salts create a buoyancy that allows the client to effortlessly float on the surface of the water. The tanks have dimmable lighting and are soundproof, eliminating any external stimuli.  

The experience of floating in a sensory deprivation tank has numerous benefits for the body and the mind. The weightless feeling and the absence of sensory input promote deep relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate a meditative state. Your clients are able to focus inward and find enhanced creativity and problem-solving skills. The high levels of Epsom salts in the water provide muscle relaxation, pain relief, and improved circulation.

Beauty & the Bank: Maximizing Revenue & Client Satisfaction 

Providing exceptional skin care services is more than just a skin care professional’s work – it is their passion and expertise. However, in today’s competitive market, mastering the art of increasing services per ticket as well as raising prices significantly contributes to business growth and success. There are many strategies and tips to help enhance treatment offerings and boost revenue.

SERVICE MAKEOVER

Diversify the Menu

Expanding the range of service offerings is a strategic way to attract a broader clientele and entice repeat visits. Skin care professionals should stay updated with the latest skin care trends and research new treatments that align with their expertise and the target audience. Incorporating options like chemical peels to address specific skin concerns, or LED therapy for rejuvenation, is helpful. By showcasing a diverse range of services, a business positions itself as a comprehensive destination for all skin care needs.

Personalized Beauty: Consultation Strategies for Solo Aestheticians 

Effective client consultations are the lifeblood of any aesthetics business. They are crucial to understand clients’ needs, provide personalized recommendations, and establish trust. For the solo skin care provider, consultations are even more valuable than they are for larger practices. The ability to customize the consultation, along with the inherent consistency that comes with solopreneurships have no equal. No other business has the agility or flexibility of a solopreneurship. Leaning into the business’s ability to deliver amazing consultations is vital to the continuation of an aesthetics solopreneurship.   

LISTEN UP 

Excellent consultations start with awesome listening skills. Paying full attention to the client and actively listening to their concerns, goals, and preferences ensures the treatment course stays on schedule. Showing empathy and making clients feel heard and understood makes them feel valued. As the consultation progresses, encourage clients to provide detailed information by asking open-ended questions. Instead of asking, “Do you have any skin care concerns?” Ask, “Tell me about any specific skin care concerns you are currently experiencing.” Questions with yes or no answers will have the skin care professional interviewing the client to determine their needs, which is usually far less satisfying for the client. No one wants to feel peppered with questions.

First Priority: Client Care 

There are so many aspects of building a business or building clientele that are essential for success. Client care should be at the top of the priority list. After all, that is the entire foundation of the aesthetics industry. Clients come to a specific skin care professional for many reasons, whether it is because they appreciate certain unique added touches or enjoy the presence and personality of the spa itself. Whatever the reason, clients deserve to be cared for each and every visit.

EXPERIENCE IS EVERYTHING

Client care does not mean that clients have to experience an extravagant show each time they are in. Rather, it means making sure that the client feels appreciated every time they come through the door. After all, without clients there would be no business. Consistency is key for each visit. When a new client comes in, they should be given the best performance from their skin care professional, they should love their treatment, and rebook for another. But the effort to enhance their visit shouldn’t stop there. They decided to come back for a reason, and a big part of that is because they are expecting a stellar experience. It is the skin care professionals’ job to deliver that experience every time.

New Product Launch: Farmaesthetics Marigold HA Serum with 100% Natural Hyaluronic Acid


Derived from the vibrant marigold flower, Marigold HA Serum harnesses incredible healing properties including anti-inflammation, antioxidants, and moisture in a 100% plant-based formula. The fusion of the strong marigold flower with plant-based hyaluronic acid makes skin suppler while also strengthening.

Unlike other hyaluronic acid products, Marigold HA Serum is made with fully plant-based, natural hyaluronic acid, derived from a biofermentation process using non-GMO corn. Many HA products utilize synthetic preservatives to maintain their shelf-life, but with the addition of Sodium Benzoate and Propanediol, Marigold HA Serum is shelf-stable for two years.

I’ve included a few key benefits of the Marigold HA Serum below as well as linked more info and images. I’d love to arrange an interview with Founder, Brenda Brock, to discuss the Marigold Serum's journey from farm to bottle and the sustainable beauty movement. Happy to jump on a call to chat further!

Product Key Benefits:
• Radiant Glow: Brightens complexion, leaving skin with a natural, luminous glow.
• Hydration Boost: Locks in moisture, keeping skin plump and hydrated throughout the day.
• Skin Soothing: Calms and soothes irritated skin, reducing redness and inflammation.
• Age-Defying: Supports collagen production, helping to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
