MitoProtect DN-Awake Facial by Rhonda Allison

MitoProtect DN-Awake Facial - Rhonda Allison

This highly specialized facial treatment is designed to energize and support mitochondria, the cell’s “powerhouse”, resulting in healthier collagen formation and more toned, strengthened skin. Rhonda Allison’s Signature Facial incorporates deep cleansing, exfoliation, nutrients, stimulation, and moisture hydration. Skin experiences a 60-minute workout that includes alternating heat and ice therapy.

1 A. Skin Preparation – Using a Lactic Pumpkin Extract blend; moisten hands with warm water. Place Pumpkin Cleanser in palm of hands. Begin facial cleanse; steam may be used. *NOTE: This all-important first step must be thorough. Massage skin with cleanser for about five minutes and remove thoroughly with wet, warm gauze pads.
B. Second-Phase Cleanse and Balancing – Apply Phyto-Nutrient Toner (Raspberry Lotion) to skin. This begins the infusion of important nutrients for cellular support and clears the pathways at the stratum corneum level for better penetration. Let Raspberry Lotion remain on skin. *NOTE: Do not get in or near eyes.

 

2 A. Preparing Enzyme – Remove three teaspoons of Pepsin & Papain Enzyme; add one teaspoon of an organic herbal compound blended with salicylic and ursolic acid (Italian Herbal Peel). Stir mixture until creamy. Place protective pads on eyes.
B. Enzyme Application – Apply an even layer of enzyme mixture to face and neck using a soft brush. First Heat Wrap – lay two 4x4 damp gauze across upper and lower face and wrap face with a steamed towel.
C. Enzyme Removal – Let enzyme remain on skin for 10 minutes. Remove towel wrap and begin removal of enzyme with the gauze that is on the face. Rinse several times for complete removal. Blot skin dry. Skin will be stimulated and slightly pinkened.

 

3 Mitochondria Blast – This consists of two parts: first to activate epidermal and dermal cells for improved cell renewal and to increase hyaluronic acid and collagen production; second, to energize, stimulate, and enhance mitochondria function.
A. Retinol/Urea Application – Place several drops of this compound (Seastar Boost) on skin and begin massage manipulations to work into skin. Do this until all of the mixture is absorbed.
Second Heat Wrap – place dampened 4x4 gauze on face and wrap face in a heated compress. Let this remain on skin for two to three minutes. Remove compress and gauze, and blot skin for any excess remaining on the surface. Skin will be completely smooth and all of the Retinol/Urea mixture will be melted into the upper epidermis.
B. Mitochondria Cocktail – Apply two to three drops of Mitochondria Complex (*SEA GEMS) to skin and blend in. ADD: two drops – Super C Serum (with Palmitoyl Tri-Peptide 3), one drop – Omega #6 EFA, two drops – Growth Factor Serum (EGF-Human Oligopeptide). Apply to skin and begin facial massage. This is an important part of the treatment and is most effective if worked into skin for a minimum of five to seven minutes.
Third Heat Wrap – apply a final steamed compress wrap to penetrate the nutrient cocktail and expand pores. *NOTE: Sea Gems delivers valuable antioxidants to the skin through a patented nano-delivery complex.

4 Finishing Mask – A custom blend with the actives Cocoa and Milk to add free radical defense, calming and soothing elements, and additional nutrients.
Mix equal parts of Milk Mask and Chocolate Antioxidant Mask and whip together.
Apply evenly to skin with a soft brush.
Keep on skin for five minutes.
Lay a dampened 4x4 gauze on face and neck.
Roll chilled Ice Globes across face and neck for five minutes or more.
Remove gauze and remaining mask mixture.

5 Complete Treatment – with additional Mitochondria support for the rest of the day by applying two to three drops of Sea Gems and Drop of Essence Hydration Drops. The overall goal of this treatment is to restore skin to an optimum state of health and activate the skin’s own healing mechanisms for prolonged vitality.

    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.”
