Silk by Christina Laboratories

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.

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.

DOCTOR’S PROGRAM® “ABC FACIAL PEEL® & YELLOW PEEL®”

1. Apply DOCTOR’S PROGRAM® ABC FACIAL PEEL® with a brush spreading product evenly over the skin to be treated allowing the stratum corneum to open which enhances the penetration of the YELLOW PEEL®.

4. Remove the DOCTOR’S PROGRAM® YELLOW PEEL® with DOCTOR’S PROGRAM® BALANCING FACIAL CLEANSER®. Repeat the steps 3, 4, and 5 a total of three to eight times until the desired level of stimulation is obtained.

5. Re-apply a new layer of DOCTOR’S PROGRAM® YELLOW PEEL®; allow it to act for 20 minutes.

7. Wash the skin using BALANCING FACIAL CLEANSER® for the next six to eight days. Patients will experience an exfoliation of the skin surface (release of the superficial stratum corneum) for 48 to 72 hours following peeling. Protect the new skin with DOCTOR’S PROGRAM ® Post-Peel Recovery Formula for the next six to eight days.

1 Mix alkaline wash with aqua d’ herbs into a small DMK green bowl using a DMK spatula mix into a medium paste.

2A Apply alkaline wash to the area being treated and keep the solution moist at all times by lightly spraying with a water spritz. Allow alkaline wash to sit on the area until the hair crinkles and dissolves.

2B Very gently work the paste in a circular motion (one to three circles), do not rub hard or aggressively.

2C Use a cool damp DMK towel to remove the alkaline wash quickly and gently.

3 Immediately after the alkaline wash is removed, neutralize the area with exoderma peel plus for five to 10 minutes. Apply ice over in circular motions over the neutralizer. Remove the exoderma peel plus neutralizer with a warm DMK towel.

4 Apply DMK melanoplex drops to the area. melanoplex drops are anti-inflammatory, healing, and aim to inhibit the formation of pigment and are essential after an alkaline procedure.

6 Apply the body enzyme masque in thick controlled strokes and leave on for 30 minutes.
DMK Body Enzyme Therapy Treatments are designed to increase circulation and create a lymph drainage action. This is felt by the client as a tightening and pulsating sensation of the enzyme mask. This action promotes a rush of fresh new oxygenated blood from within the skin, due to dilated capillaries.
Oxygen carries nutrients and O2 Hemoglobin to the mitochondria of all cells. Oxygen aids in the removal of toxins, waste, and other cellular debris. A lack of oxygen can lead to malfunction of the mitochondria resulting in a dysfunctional skin system.

7 The body enzyme mask must first be softened with a hot and damp DMK towel before being cleansed with DMK hydra louffa in circular strokes. Gently wipe the area clean with a warm DMK towel.

8 The skin is now stimulated to a point where its’ absorption capabilities are at optimal levels. We then provide the skin with nourishment, through a transdermal infusion of essential lipids and nutrients.
beta gel, direct delivery vitamin c serum, herbal pigment oil and contraderm crème are applied before spraying with herb & mineral mist. The skin is then covered with cling film and followed by a hot, damp DMK towel. The hot towels are changed three times to ensure the skin stays warm and maximum absorption is achieved.

1 The area to be sugared is first cleansed using Presept Skin Cleanser - an anti-microbial solution to remove excess oils, makeup, lotions and debris. After all you would not do black head extractions over makeup… so the same applies when extracting hair.

2 After a thorough cleansing, Essential Tonic, an anti-inflammatory tonic, is applied to act as a catalyst. It has a soothing and calming effect on the skin. One of the key ingredients actually helps to open the cuticles of the hair shaft allowing the sugar paste to grip the hair even better!

3 The area to be sugared is then covered with a very thin layer of Vertal-6 Drying Powder to ensure that the skin is completely dry. Sugar paste is water-soluble and will not adhere to anything with moisture so keeping skin dry is important.

4 Once the area is prepped, the sugar paste is applied against the direction of hair growth. This type of application allows the sugar paste to coat all the hairs and seep down into the skin coating and lubricating the hair on the inside of the follicles as well.

5 The hair is eased out of the skin and is removed using hands and a special “flicking” technique in the natural direction of hair growth. Sugaring is repeated until hair is completely removed from the area.

7 The Essential Tonic is then re-applied to the skin to keep the follicles free of bacteria preventing pustules that can accompany skin that is post extracted of hair and left to the elements.

8 The treatment is completed with an application of Restore Hydrating Lotion that clams the skin and restores the moisture balance leaving the client’s skin feeling soft and clean.

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.
