by Michelle D'Allaird The concept of exfoliation is nothing new, and this most certainly is not the first article you have ever read on the topic. There are ever changing products and equipment for exfoliation. However, the one thing that doesn’t change is the physiological way your skin functions. With that in mind, let’s talk about what it is, why we need it, and how to determine when enough is enough! The concept of exfoliation has been around longer than we can even imagine. The first practice of exfoliation is given to the ancient Egyptians, if you will recall, Cleopatra used to bathe in milk, a.k.a. lactic acid!

In some areas, summers tend to be a slower season, mostly due to the migration north of those spa clients who are snowbirds. These clients come south for the winter and go back up north for the summer. They get the best of both seasons in two different locations. However, this is an ideal time to give special attention and personal care to your permanent clients. It is on them that you should focus your attention, with special programs, summer specials, discounts, and upgrades (free or otherwise); let them know that the specials are “just for them.†Read More
