AGING THROUGH THE DECADES Spa and home care treatments for every stage of life by Cynthia Price, M.D.
photos: shutterstock.com
Attaining youthful skin is often a lifelong endeavor that clinicians and clients aim to achieve. Understanding how to address age-related skin concerns with professional treatments and home care regimens through each decade of a client’s life can help clinicians provide optimal results, regardless of a client’s age.
Page 10 • lneonline.com Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa • October 2014
INTRINSIC VS. EXTRINSIC AGING Aging is a twofold process involving intrinsic and extrinsic influences. Intrinsic aging is determined by genetic makeup and heritage. This natural aging process begins in the mid-20s with slowed collagen production, resulting in reduced skin elasticity. Cellular turnover, a 28-day process on average in youth, can take up to 50 days in later life, leaving skin looking dull. Extrinsic aging is an accumulation of environmental factors, lifestyle choices (smoking, alcohol consumption, diet) and sun exposure. According to experts, nearly 85 percent of visible aging is due to extrinsic factors, which accelerate the aging process. As such, although some “typical” signs of aging are to be expected with each decade, clients will age differently, making skin assessment and clients’ history forms of the utmost importance. Take into account each client’s medical history as well as medications (including allergies and food sensitivities), which can reveal significant conditions your client may have neglected to discuss, and could affect the effectiveness of treatments (some medications for example cause photosensitivity that can influence hyperpigmentation treatments). Following the same vein, ask questions concerning your client’s profession, as it will reveal stress levels and UV exposure, both influential in deciding the proper course of treatments and products. Broad-spectrum sunscreen should be included in every daily care regimen for clients of all ages.

skin | aging through the decades
the
30s
Skin may start exhibiting signs of sun damage by the early 30s. Fine lines may appear around the orbital bone (eyes) and the perioral region (lips). Maintaining collagen is of utmost importance during this period since natural production slows down in the mid-20s. Hyperpigmentation may also begin to develop due to contraceptive use, childbirth and overexposure to the sun. If significant sun damage occurred during a client’s younger years, the 30s is a critical decade to stop further damage from developing.
HOME CARE: Get your clients into a good home care routine. In addition to addressing their personal concerns (dry skin, acne, etc.), have them add antioxidants and retinol into their regimen. • Potent antioxidants incorporated into the morning routine, such as L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), tocopherol (vitamin E), glutathione or epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, found in green tea), mitigate oxidative damage while adding an extra layer of sun protection. • In the evening, retinol becomes an ingredient of choice to improve collagen production and minimize fine lines around the eyes and mouth. It also aids in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and improves cellular turnover. • Topical products that include stem cells are also crucial, as these stimulate cells to repair wrinkles and restore firmness and elasticity. • Quite similarly, peptides, proteins composed of chains of amino acids facilitate cellular communication for skin to repair.
• Chemical peels. Introduce your clients to chemical peels by starting them off with enzyme peels, which are a gentle and effective way to provide smooth and clear skin. Enzymes work at the surface of the skin, speed up cell turnover, promote younger cells and brighten skin. Enzyme peels can be scheduled at frequent intervals safely. Light chemical peels, alpha hydroxy acids or beta hydroxy acids, which promote desquamation, aid in pigmentation and help smooth skin, can be scheduled up to every two weeks. • Microdermabrasion. Now is also a good time to initiate your clients to professional mechanical peels. Microdermabrasion addresses minimal sun damage, softens fine lines and wrinkles and helps build collagen by removing the uppermost layer of dead skin cells and allowing for better topical absorption. Recommend a series of four to six treatments about two to three weeks apart.

SPA TREATMENTS:

skin | aging through the decades
the
40s
By the time clients reach their 40s, sun damage becomes more apparent. Hyperpigmentation starts appearing on the chest, shoulders, arms and legs, areas that people often fail to protect with sunscreen. Clients may also notice telangiectasias (spider veins) due to sun damage and collagen breakdown. Peri-menopause begins around the age of 47, often resulting in sudden estrogen depletion that leads to increased surface dryness, a drop in sebum production and hormonally induced acne breakouts.
• Microcurrent facials can be a great alternative to those clients who do not wish to go under the knife. By working the muscles underlying the skin, microcurrent stimulation tones, tightens muscle and improves the elasticity of skin, which results in younger looking skin. Treatments can be recommended as a series of 12 up to three times a week, followed by periodic maintenance. • Radio frequency is yet another treatment that targets laxity of the face and neck. The deep heating stimulates the skin renewal process, which helps tighten existing collagen and form new collagen. Typical treatments consist of series of six at one to two week intervals.
SPA TREATMENTS:
HOME CARE: • To hydrate peri-menopausal skin, humectants like hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA (a naturally occurring amino acid) should be combined with occlusive ingredients, like jojoba oil or shea butter. • As a sudden estrogen drop allows androgen hormones to dominate, breakouts are prone to happen. Provide these clients with an acne spot treatment containing salicylic acid in addition to gentle products that support hydration.
Page 14 • lneonline.com Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa • October 2014
photos: shutterstock.com
• Chemical peels. If periodical light chemical peels should be kept up, medium peels (trichloroascetic or TCA) may be advisable. Medium peels, which penetrate the dermis, aid in improving moderate sun damage, more pronounced wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Medium peels may only need to be administered once or twice a year. • Educate your clients about the importance of treating the décolleté area, whether through exfoliation, hydrating masks or facials. • If treating the skin from the neck down can address hyperpigmentation in that area, laser therapy can not only address spider veins but also remove wrinkles from other neglected parts of the body, including hands, which often give age away (routine hand facials can keep skin rejuvenated and moisturized).

skin | aging through the decades
50s For most women, menopause will have commenced by the age of 50. The ovaries cease to produce adequate levels of estrogen and progesterone to sustain fertility. Significant changes occur in the skin, including a reduction in sebum production, dryness, more sensitivity, increased laxity, fine lines and wrinkles. As estrogen levels deplete, testosterone remains constant, allowing hormonal breakouts to resurface. This drastic hormonal shift breaks down the support structure of the dermis, collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles seemingly appearing overnight. Due to sluggish cellular turnover, skin appears dull.
SPA TREATMENTS: • Microneedling not only allows for better absorption of topical ingredients (copper peptides and hyaluronic acid are needling must haves), but increases cellular communication, cell proliferation and growth. Schedule your clients for a series of four to six treatments at one to two month intervals.
HOME CARE: • Due to cessation of estrogen production, a heavier moisturizer may be needed to combat persistent dryness and sensitivity. • Supplement your client’s moisturizer with lotions or serums containing at least two types of antioxidants (lycopene, green tea, soy), and advise them to alternate them every other day to address different problems without interruption.

the
skin | aging through the decades HOME CARE: • A common concern of a client in their 60s and 70s is laxity in the neck area. This area responds well to calcium hydroxymethionine, an ingredient tested specifically on the neck tissue to fortify and restructure thin, fragile skin. • Advise clients to refrain from using soaps and instead use gentle creamy or foaming cleansers. • Serums containing potent antioxidants or peptides, which are more easily absorbed than creams and lotions, are now a must.
Restoration is a key concern. Post menopause sets in and the hormonally induced breakouts experienced during the 40s and 50s diminish. A lack of estrogen means the formation of fine lines and deep wrinkles are difficult to treat with topical products alone. The dermal layers, the skin’s support structure, no longer rebuild as they once did, and collagen and elastin production comes to a near halt. The skin begins thinning and continues to dull due to a slower cellular turnover rate. Moisture loss is also a concern. Sagging of the jaw line, perioral region and neckline require advance correction, while volume loss in the mid-face may leave a hollowed appearance in the cheeks, temples and around the eyes.
While working to correct skin damage accumulated throughout a client’s life, it is critical to maintain the use of UV-protective products and antioxidants, regardless of age. By understanding the skin challenges inherent in each stage of life, as well as effective treatments to correct them, clinicians can provide daily care regimens and professional treatments to address each client’s needs, leading to youthful looking skin. n
the
60s SPA TREATMENTS: Laser and light treatments will address spider veins and broken capillaries, loose and sagging skin will need treatments such as microneedling, microcurrent and radio frequency, and wrinkles and fine lines will continue to be attenuated via laser, chemical and mechanical peels.

ACNE AT THE SPA
Trend, Science or Both? by April Zangl and Erin Ferrill
Acne is a traumatic condition that afflicts 50 percent of women and 25 percent of men at some time in their adult lives1. The distress caused by this condition is compounded by the fact that in adulthood, they are already dealing with signs of aging that include fine lines, loss of elasticity, dehydration, uneven skin tone and inflammation. In addition to these issues, adults with acne are simultaneously struggling with flare-ups, dark spots and scarring.
October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
As the average wait time to see a dermatologist in the United States is 34 days and health care costs continue to rise2, estheticians are playing a more important role than ever in solving their clients’ skin concerns. It is important to note, however, that estheticians should be trained to recommend that a client visit a dermatologist in the cases of very deep, persistent, inflamed or infected acne lesions.

Family history: According to the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology, moderate to severe acne was strongly associated with a family history of acne in first-degree relatives. The risk was reduced in people with a lower body mass index, with a more pronounced effect in males compared to females.
Medication side effects: Acne can be a side
A comedo, or basic acne lesion, is a hair follicle that has become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Comedones can develop into bumps called whiteheads, which are closed at the surface of the skin; or blackheads, which are open at the surface.
CAUSES OF ACNE Fluctuating hormone levels: An imbalance of hormones, especially androgen hormones such as testosterone, can lead to breakouts. Hormones affect acne because of their connection to sebaceous glands, which are glands in the skin attached to hair follicles that produce sebum or oil. When levels of androgens increase, more sebum is produced and there is a greater likelihood that the oil will clog hair follicles and result in acne.
Stress: There is a link between stress and acne flare-ups. Whether one is experiencing physical or psychological stress, the body releases cortisol, a stress hormone that plays a critical role on the testosterone pathway. In response to stress, the body produces more hormones, which stimulates the oil glands and hair follicles, increasing the potential for an acne breakout.
Undiagnosed medical condition: Sometimes acne is a sign of an underlying medical condition. Once the medical condition is diagnosed and treated, the acne often clears.
TYPES OF ACNE A comedo, or basic acne lesion, is a hair follicle that has become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Comedones can develop into bumps called whiteheads, which are closed at the surface of the skin; or blackheads, which are open at the surface. TOPICAL TREATMENT:
• Mandelic, lactic and salicylic acids can treat comedones by increasing cell turnover to regulate clogged pores, while witch hazel can be incorporated to calm irritation and redness. • Peptides are among the latest advancements in acne-fighting actives. They are more than just an anti-wrinkle ingredient. The Granactive Acne peptide (otherwise known as Oligopeptide-10), enables a lower than standard concentration of salicylic acid to have the maximum anti-bacterial effect within the pore, with a reduced risk of irritation. • Bentonite and kaolin clays have also been shown to help extract impurities from the skin. • Tea tree oil has been proven to reduce blackhead-causing bacteria.

Estheticians should perform thorough skin consultations in order to treat both acne and aging concerns. During this skin analysis, the esthetician should determine the severity and type of lesions present, as well as ask questions about lifestyle, duration of symptoms and prior treatments the client has tried. This information will determine the root cause and best course of action for each client. The causes of acne can be environmental, genetic or a combination of both factors.
effect of taking certain medications. Although fairly uncommon, certain drugs, including corticosteroids, lithium, anticonvulsants, barbiturates, androgenic steroids, DHEA and medications that contain bromides or iodides can cause acne or acne-like eruptions, which look different than regular acne. Most people with acne have various types of lesions. Acne breakouts caused by medicine tend to look consistent. For example they all might look like little red papules or tiny pustules, which are discussed later in this article.

TOPICAL TREATMENT:
• Canadian Willowherb™ and Sea Buckthorn Berry can be used to calm and soothe the skin. • Telangyn™, also known as Tetrapeptide-33, is a powerful amino acid sequence shown to reduce redness and erythema.
Pustules are another kind of inflamed pimple. They resemble a whitehead with a red ring around the bump. The bump is typically filled with white or yellow pus. TOPICAL TREATMENT:
• Boswellia is an herb included in anti-acne skin care formulations as an anti-irritant and antiseptic to soothe the skin.
Nodules are large, inflamed bumps that feel firm to the touch, while cysts are large, pus-filled lesions that look similar to boils. Both nodules and cysts develop deep within the skin and are often painful. TOPICAL TREATMENT:
• Colloidal sulfur has been proven effective in fighting inflammation and delivering antibacterial benefits to the skin.
SPA AND MED-SPA THERAPIES FOR ADULT ACNE • Deep cleansing facials are especially beneficial for adults with acne, because in addition to treating oily or acneic skin, they address uneven complexions, a common symptom that appears in skin as one ages. This type of facial typically incorporates a combination of thorough steaming, deep cleansing and facial extractions to remove pore-clogging sebum, along with a healing mask and moisturizer. • Microdermabrasion treatments address acne and acne scars. The top layer of skin is exfoliated off, leaving a glowing complexion. It provides a deep exfoliation, loosening debris from the pores. This exfoliation also removes the raised portion of an acne scar. It’s best for non-inflamed acne, such as blackheads and whiteheads. • Chemical peels are an effective option for acne and acne scars. They can be made of salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic or Jessner’s acids. Each type has a different strength and effect on the skin. These acids chemically exfoliate the top layers of skin. This exfoliation signals the cells inside the skin to produce more rapidly, which can help hasten skin turnover and prevent pores from becoming clogged. Chemical peels are great for mature acne conditions because they are also effective on fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. • Lasers and light therapies reduce p. acnes bacteria. They reduce inflammation or shrink sebaceous glands, depending on what type of therapy is used. • Blue light therapy gently penetrates below the skin’s surface to eliminate bacteria deep within—without irritating or drying skin to prevent future breakouts. It can treat mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne, and is not effective for blackheads, whiteheads, cysts or nodules.

There is a link between stress and acne flare-ups. Whether one is experiencing physical or psychological stress, the body releases cortisol, a stress hormone that plays a critical role on the testosterone pathway.
Papules are comedones that have become inflamed, forming small red or pink bumps on the skin. This type of pimple may be sensitive to the touch. Picking or squeezing can make the inflammation worse and may lead to scarring. A large number of papules may indicate moderate to severe acne. In the treatment of acne, it’s important to minimize sensitivity and discomfort.

skin | treating acne at the spa • Photopneumatic therapy combines an intense pulsed light (IPL) laser with a gentle vacuum. It works by removing excess oil and dead skin cells from clogged pores. It’s approved to treat blackheads, whiteheads and some other types of acne. • Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive therapy that utilizes light treatments along with the application of a photosensitizing agent. The photosensitizing agent causes the skin to become more receptive to light. After the agent is removed, a light treatment is administered. This treatment is thought to shrink the skin’s sebaceous glands, reducing the amount of oil in the pores, and thereby reducing comedones. It’s essential for estheticians to be knowledgeable regarding ingredients and science-based skin care treatments for adult acne. Today’s acne clients want more than what the drugstore has to offer, and estheticians have the skills and products to provide the right treatment for them. n The Burden of Skin Diseases 2005. (2005).

IN PINK The how-tos of oncology treatment
Chances are, perhaps unbeknown to you, at least one of your clients has it, because numbers don’t lie, and experts say that as we advance toward the mid-21st century, more people will be diagnosed with the disease—cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, by the time 2014 wraps up, there will be an estimated 1.6 million new cases of cancer in the United States. And incidences of cancer are expected to rise by 57 percent worldwide in the next two decades, the World Health Organization predicted. If cancer patients count on their doctors to fight the disease, the ravages that the aggressive chemotherapy and radiation bring onto the body lead patients to seek healing treatments at spas to assuage the ailments that beset them, alleviate their spirits—if only temporarily—as complements to conventional treatments. Spas around the country have found a niche market in oncology treatments, and oncology doctors, nurses and other health professionals associated with cancer care increasingly recommend them to their clients.

skin | pretty in pink NICHE MARKET
“I believe spa treatments have a role in the care of cancer patients,” says Dr. Brian D. Lawenda, an integrative oncologist at 21st Century Oncology in Las Vegas, Nev. “They improve quality of life, reduce stress, enhance self-image and can be very educational in terms of teaching patients how to select and use safe, non-toxic products.” If estheticians are natural caretakers, tending to oncology clients means more than having empathy, compassion, and exerting caution while providing services. “You need to have a special mindset for this line of work,” says Kerian Bray, an oncology esthetician and manager at Skin n’ Tonic, Lahaska, Pa. “As an esthetician you cannot be personally involved but you have to be caring and mindful.” Perhaps most importantly, one must truly understand the dos and don’ts of oncology skin care and esthetics to ensure that services provided help assuage symptoms and do no harm.
It‘s so nice to see these stressed out women come out glowing and so happy from their treatments, and they want to come back fast! Treatments to cure cancer are often the culprits to the havocs brought onto the skin. Just as radiation kills bad cells, it kills healthy cells as well, which leads to dryness, peeling, redness, itching, sores, hypersensitivity to sun and more. Chemotherapy also contributes to many negative effects such as dried, cracked and oozy skin. Nails also suffer discoloration and cracking. Cancer patients become extremely sensitive to the touch, and much precaution must be taken to not aggravate the side effects of treatments, which make oncology training a must. If extreme gentleness with cancer patients is necessary, oncology courses provide critical information on safe products to use and procedures, as well as risky drug/ingredient interactions and must knows on how to treat cancer survivors. While there is no existing governing agency in the country that oversees oncology programs for estheticians and spa professionals, there are many courses available that have been endorsed by reputable organizations such as the American Cancer Society. If some spa profes-
sionals choose to go for these courses, others opt to follow the training provided by their skin care lines/product suppliers of choice. A spa professional certified in oncology skin care and esthetics can provide a variety of treatment including skin consultations, facials customized to each client, massage, reflexology, makeup application—including permanent makeup tattooing—nail care, as well as guidance on proper skin care products and safe ingredients. Part of the issue when it comes to oncology patients and how to help alleviate the ailments brought on by the aggressive therapies they receive is due to the miscommunication between doctors, patients and spa professionals because oncology spa care is a relatively new specialty. Some, such as Lawenda, argue that cancer patients lack the information they need to seek proper treatments and products. “There’s a problem of communication with doctors,” says Melanie Jeanteur, owner of Spa Care Center Oncology Spa, Boca Raton, Fla. “Doctors treat the disease, they treat secondary effects like vomiting but not the rest. They will say ‘oh, your nails fell off, it doesn’t matter, they will grow back.’” While the communication mishap is arguably a disservice to cancer patients, it allows spa professionals to step up and assert themselves as the skin care guides they naturally are.
SPREAD THE WORD
In order to get the word out about their oncology treatments, spas and salons have been taking a very proactive and grassroots approach—with the old fashioned door to door. “I’ve knocked on a lot of doors, handed out a lot of literature,” says Bray, adding that 15 to 20 percent of her clients are cancer clients. Deborah Beers, a former oncology esthetician at the Oregon Clinic, Portland, Ore., (who’s now flying solo) concurs. “I kind of have to market myself, go to oncology clinics and drop off brochures,” Beers says. “I hit the pavement with brochures, gift certificates and samples.” For Jeanteur, volunteering with the American Cancer Society and the Look Good Feel Better program in Boca Raton, for which she attends monthly meetings, have been great ways to promote her special services. In addition, she advises going to those who are truly the primary point of contact for oncology patients, that is their social workers, nurses, nutritionists, health counselors and psychologists. “Every new cancer patient has a sort of social worker

assigned to them,” says Jeanteur. “These are the women that I meet.” Not only does Jeanteur talk about her services, she also invites them in to try them for themselves. Teaming up with local clinics has also been profitable to Jeanteur, who has a partnership with South Florida Radiation Oncologists—a group that has 17 clinics throughout South Florida. Word of mouth also remains among the all time favorites to spread the message. Beers advises letting anyone around you know that you are offering these treatments. “One out of three people I see is either going through something or knows someone who is going through something,” she says. Then once cancer patients have tried out and approved of a spa, they’ll share it with others as well. Bray explains that many cancer patients receive their intravenous chemotherapy treatments in a common waiting room, an ideal place for them to share their spa experience— and for salons and spas owners to promote their specialty.
TIPS FROM THE PRO
For those looking to step into the world of oncology skin care and esthetics, experts offer the following advice. “Hygiene is very important,” says Beers, to which Bray and Jeanteur concur. Oncology treatment professionals make it a point to use extra precaution when cleaning their treatment rooms to make the environment sterile and germ free for their immunodeficient clients and to use gloves, masks as well as disposable tools—precautions that many salons and spas already take with all their guests. Beers warns against using scented candles—commonplace at salons and spas—because of the chemicals they release. Bray advises using leniency on some spa policies such as cancellation, as malaise can sneak up on cancer patients at any time. “I don’t charge for cancellations,” Bray says. “If they need to cancel two seconds before they walk through the door, not a problem, it’s out of their control.” Beers and Jeanteur agree. Beers offers discounts for her oncology clients, while Jeanteur holds a monthly free manicure event for the women of Look Good Feel Better. If cancer patients return to salons and spas they’ve grown to trust during their treatments, they’re likely to come back once they‘ve vanquished the disease as well. Jeanteur says she has a few survivors who continue to visit her spa because they trust her services, the safety of the products she retails and the reputation she has established. While treating oncology patients can be emotionally and psychologically taxing, oncology spa professionals argue that it’s also tremendously rewarding. “Their life revolves around doctors and medicine and they take one hour for themselves,” says Jeanteur. “It‘s so nice to see these stressed out women come out glowing and so happy from their treatments, and they want to come back fast!” n

Did you know that fall’s most cherished fruit is also one of skin care's best kept secrets?
October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
lneonline.com • Page 39
It is said that some Native American tribes had spiritual dances dedicated to it, they called it “isqoutm squash,” we know it as the fruit of the fall—the pumpkin. If pumpkins usually bring to mind the approaching holidays, spooky Halloweens, soothing memories of family dinners and the unmistakable fragrance of pumpkin pie, pumpkin as it turns out, not only feed our very souls and bellies, but are among our hero fruits, superfoods packed with goodness for the skin. More than a staple ingredient for kitchen recipes, the pumpkin stars in many skin care products for its amazing properties.
by Anna G. Wilhem
A fruit that belongs to the family of Cucurbitaceae that includes squash, gourds, melons and cucumbers, the pumpkin—the name originated from the Greek word “pepon” for large melon—is indigenous to the Americas, where they have been grown and harvested for centuries. Native American tribes were said to not only eat the pumpkin flesh and seeds but also used pumpkins as medicine. Its bold orange color is the first clue as to the goodness the pumpkin has to offer—high in carotenoids, which include alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lutein, pumpkins thus provide potent antioxidants that fight off free radi-
cals, help increase skin hydration, skin elasticity and collagen production. In other words, pumpkin can help protect the skin from the dry winter months that its harvest announces and help prevent the signs of aging. Packed with fruit enzymes that act as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and vitamins A—it’s among the fruits that contain the highest amount of vitamin A—C and E that promote cell renewal, decrease blemishes and lighten skin, pumpkin is a true wonder of nature. It’s also loaded with the minerals potassium and magnesium, which are vital for healthy cells. Rich in copper, an important mineral for collagen and elastin production, pumpkin also features zinc, which helps regulate sebum production and is important to heal wounds as well. And pumpkin’s small molecular structure allows for deeper skin penetration and absorption, ideal for topical skin care. If that were not enough, its seeds have much to provide as well—which makes sense since they’re meant to become full-grown “squash.” Filled with vitamin E, selenium, zinc and fatty acids, pumpkin seeds are great for antiaging—its vitamins and minerals help boost collagen—and are an ideal ally against acne, as its nutrients will help control hormones and oil production. Pumpkin can be used in a variety of treatments at your salon or spa, from facial to body masks (including wraps and scrubs), peels to pedicures and massages with pumpkin seed oil. You can also stock up your retail area with some pumpkin moisturizer, cleanser, eye cream … you name it (see our photo shoot on page 52 for a glimpse at some brands and products that feature pumpkin). n

THE POWER of pumpkin
Not just a seasonal treat(ment) anymore by Caroline Canetti
October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
lneonline.com • Page 41
Pumpkin peels are the perfect addition to your treatment menu for fall, as the smell evokes nostalgia for grandma’s pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. But, pumpkin peels are not just a novelty item for autumn—the power of the pumpkin should be used year round for a variety of reasons, including how it stimulates the production of collagen, lightens pigmentation, reduces acne breakouts, and provides such anti-aging benefits as decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.
WHY PUMPKIN?
Pumpkin peel treatments are well tolerated by most people—people with sensitive skin and acne benefit from them—who respond better to pumpkin peels than glycolic peels. As they use the enzyme of the pumpkin to exfoliate and infuse the skin with vitamins, pumpkin peels can deliver immediate smoothness and clarity. “Pumpkin pulp is a powerful antioxidant (beta carotene), which is a precursor to retinol (vitamin A) so it is brightening to the skin and plumping too. It’s a very active enzyme that actively digests dead skin cells so it’s also very exfoliating. Furthermore, there are minerals present in pumpkin pulp that are fantastic skin conditioners,” says DermaQuest CEO and Lead Chemist Sam Dhatt. In addition to its anti-aging benefits, pumpkin is also great for acne. “The enzymatic action helps to reduce surface impaction, reducing breakout formation as well as brightening the complexion overall,” says Ivana Veljkovic, manager of product research and development, and international regulatory compliance at PCA Skin.
The pumpkin can be picked apart in a variety of ways—using the pulp, pumpkin seed oil, pumpkin skin extract and even the rind. “Pumpkin seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients. Pumpkin seed extract is a great source of vitamin A, and the flesh provides a multitude of nutrients and enzymes to the skin. Each formulation is different, but some companies utilize all three of these components,” says Veljkovic. And what does it do? “It gently digests and dislodges non-living skin debris (think dead skin cells, bacteria and congestion) while depositing over 100 phyto-nutrients and antioxidants that are found in the whole pumpkin, including the rind. The pumpkin peel can be an excellent alternative for those not wanting downtime peels and recovery time, while still producing a result that leaves the skin smoother, softer, clear and balanced,” says Irene Stuckey, director of education U.S. division at A Natural Difference Skincare. The alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) that pumpkin naturally contains, penetrate the layers of the skin and encourage cell turnover. The antioxidants also strengthen the skin’s defenses against free radicals, while the AHAs also stimulate collagen and elastin rejuvenation.
EDUCATION IS KEY
As Tony Vogel, owner of Spa & Aesthetics MD (h2t) points out, before a spa adds a pumpkin peel to their menu, estheticians really need to educate themselves on three key things. “They have to understand the product and what is in it, including active ingredients. And you also have to understand the reality of what it is, and truly what the value is beyond the aroma. You have to know the pH and everything else that is in these products,” he says. Vogel continues, “It’s not the pumpkin that is doing the work. It’s a good base, believe me it is, and there’s a lot of nutrients that have a lot of value. It’s a great enzyme base, but when you manufacture it, you lose a lot of that. So it comes down to what active ingredients are used. Bilberry, a super antioxidant, generates a lot of heat that allows for it to become a great catalyst for penetration. It allows for the concentration of our lactic acid to move deeper, where you normally would not get that penetration with-

out added irritation. The beauty of that is you do not need as much glycolic. We only use 10 percent, with the high percent of lactic doing a great deal of the resurfacing work. Keep in mind, whatever base is being used (pumpkin, papaya, cranberry) it’s either the active ingredients, pharmaceutically type driven ingredients, or the highly concentrated ingredients that are going to affect your skin the most, not just the pumpkin itself.” Knowing the difference between how to execute a pumpkin peel versus other peels is key. “Typically pumpkin treatments should not be used with steam and excess massage, making it not the best choice for a traditional facial. You would not want to also use a mechanical exfoliant in the same formulation, as that could be too aggressive,” Veljkovic notes. Of course, understanding the different strengths is important as well. “Ours come in four strengths. Each percentage is the amount of lactic acid in the peel and they have varying pH levels. Five percent is great for rosacea, sen-
sitive and home care skin. Ten percent is great for normal and dry skin and first time clients. Twenty percent is great for oily, congested and hyperpigmented skin. Thirty-five percent (a waiver needs to be signed with this since the pH is 1.9) is great for thick, oily skin, folliculitis (ingrown hair on men’s beard area) and thick callus skin on feet. The protocol given with the peels will indicate how long each peel can stay on the skin. It’s anywhere from one to 10 minutes, depending on strength,” explains Stuckey. Learning about the power of pumpkin had greatly changed the year round treatment menu at Lotus Organics Day Spa & Wellness, Bloomington, Ill., which offers a total of seven pumpkin treatments (see related story on page 46), including two peels. “I loved learning about the benefits of using pumpkin when I started doing more natural and organic skin care. Pumpkin has awesome anti-inflammatory properties and can help control excess oil, so I have found that it’s excellent for those obnoxious acne flare-ups. I use a pumpkin peel

PUMPKIN TREATMENTS
Other ingredients that work well with pumpkin include malic acids derived from apples. Mirta Sandomir, a lead esthetician at Voda Spa, West Hollywood, Calif., says, “malic acids have shown to promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cellular turnover and renewal. Skin will feel noticeably softer by digesting dead skin cells, decongesting the pores, and revealing a fresh glow.” Voda Spa packages up their pumpkin offerings for fall as the Pumpkin Indulgence, which includes a 50-minute pumpkin apple spice treatment, a 50-minute body massage with pumpkin butter, and a pumpkin smoothie for a yummy after service treat for $290 including gratuity. Heather Nicole Advanced Skincare, Beverly Hills, Calif., offers a pumpkin peel for $150 for the 60-minute treatment, or a buy five get one free deal. Her mix is formulated with glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid and pumpkin pulp. “A pumpkin peel treatment is relatively comfortable and lasts about 60 minutes. The treatment is with a facial, cleansing and light extractions, then the pumpkin mask is applied. It’s warm when first put on face,” says owner Heather Nicole Funk. “This will last for several minutes. Some patients call this feeling ‘warm and prickly.’ It then changes to a pleasant feeling of tightening. You will then be layered with calming and nourishing balms to soothe and protect the skin. After treatment your skin will be slightly pink and you can resume normal activities that day,” Funk continues. At Flying Beauticians, San Francisco and Mill Valley, Calif., they have titled their pumpkin treatment as Planet Gourd-Gous (75 minutes, $125), which combines pumpkin extract with wine enzymes and fruit acids. Full Circle Wellness Center, Los Ranchos, N.M., uses a mix of raw pumpkin, lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, white willow bark and bisabolol for their Pumpkin Facial ($120) and Pumpkin Peel ($80). The Spa at the Omni Tucson National Resort, Tucson, Ariz., promotes their Power Pumpkin Resurfacer as an advanced exfoliating treatment for age management, acne and hyperpigmentation concerns (30 minutes, $70). Valentina Spa, Nashville, Tenn, offers a Pumpkin Peel (60 minutes, $85) and promotes it as, “a new alternative to AHAs, this exfoliat-

with a slight glycolic added, which is an excellent form of exfoliation without being harmful to the healthy skin. I often recommend it to clients for a spot treatment for acne or dry patches. The oils in pumpkin and pumpkin seeds are amazing skin softeners as well,” says Lotus Organics owner Lisa M. Roberds. The most popular pumpkin treatment at Lotus Organics Day Spa & Wellness is the Pumpkin Enzyme Peel Skincare Treatment (60 minutes, $60). “This facial utilizes a blend of olive oil based cleansing with a special pumpkin seed facial scrub and pumpkin enzyme mask. I have also created my own facial massage oil blend specifically for this facial, which uses organic pumpkin seed oil, grape seed oil, vanilla essential oil, and a drop of cinnamon essential oil. I also use a spiced pumpkin body lotion during the hand (and foot) massage.” She adds, “I think it’s a favorite among clients because of the warm, cozy scents throughout the entire treatment, as well as the soft afterglow that everyone notices with this facial. Many of my ‘aging’ clients use this as their go-to facial due to the softer, younger appearance they achieve with it.”

ADD-ONS AND RETAIL
Pumpkin peels or pumpkin masks also work as a great add-on to your existing treatments. Pumpkin peel is an amazing foot and hand therapy system. Offered as an add-on to any pedicure/manicure, the pumpkin peel provides relief and improves the appearance of dry, cracked and calloused feet or hands, Vogel says. Envy Salon and Spa, Elkton, Md., offers a pumpkin peel add-on in their cooler months because of the warming feeling of the pumpkin ($15). Most smaller spas around the country fall somewhere

ing accelerator and powerful antioxidant leaves your skin ready for better penetration of your skin care products.” Another key selling point is that most pumpkin peels are great for people with sensitive skin. “It’s accessible to people that cannot tolerate BHAs and AHAs like glycolic or lactic acid. The pumpkin enzymes will give you a similar effect, but without the side effects,” says Dhatt. Additionally, though most treatments do work better in series, many of our experts note that pumpkin peels show quicker results. “Most people will see a difference after one treatment. The skin will be brighter, smoother and rejuvenated. But having regular treatment is always a good idea to achieve your optimal complexion, regardless of the treatment being used,” says Veljkovic. Your clients may ask why choose a pumpkin peel over the glycolic peel. The answer: “Well they simply do different things! Enzymes are serious scavengers and actively digest dead skin. Acids tend to break dead skin up and loosen it, but enzymes are like Pac Man and refine and smooth the rest away,” says Dhatt. “That’s why we use both acids and pumpkin pulp in our Primary/Power Pumpkin Resurfacer, they are a fantastic pair. For some, however, they may just like pumpkin better than glycolic because it’s so much less irritating,” Dhatt continues. But whether glycolic peel is truly “better” than pumpkin peel, Veljkovic says, “this is subjective. Alpha hydroxyl acids function in a completely different fashion from a pumpkin mask. Glycolic acid does tend to get a bit hotter on the skin and will induce post-procedure exfoliation, while a typical pumpkin treatment will not. It’s truly preference. They’re both good for different purposes.”
between $15-$25 for an add-on. For example, Pela Cura Laser & Medical Spa, Columbia, Mo., offers their Power Pumpkin Resurfacer as an add-on to their Pela Cura Clinical Facial (60 minutes, $75) for $45 extra. Their full 45-minute Power Pumpkin Resurfacing treatment, which blends pumpkin pulp, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid, runs $80. And don’t forget, at home pumpkin masks can boost your fourth quarter retail sales as well. “We offer masks as home care additionally so that clients can enhance their treatment more affordably any time they please,” says Dhatt. n

More pumpkin treatments to spice up your menu

While pumpkin is a home-run ingredient for peels, facials and masks, there are many more uses for the seasonal fruit, as well as other key ingredient combinations to add a little spice to your treatment menu for this fall and beyond. Great Face & Body, Albuquerque, N.M., combines pumpkin with two other autumnal favorites for their Pumpkin Power & Pecan Purification Wrap (90 minutes, $135) that helps
treat stretch marks. “While the holidays are normally for expanding your waistline, our fall inspired wrap uses natural ingredients to reduce stretch marks, battle dry skin, and leave you feeling happy and smooth,” says co-owner Keith West-Harrison. The wrap begins with the client actually making the Pecan Pie Scrub themselves as a fun way for them to experience this treatment in a different manner. “It uses freshly ground pecans and organic butters. Then our Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, and Nutmeg Body Mask is smeared on while you are gently wrapped in warm blankets. Hot towels are used to treat you like an Autumn Goddess while we remove the mask and then we massage in our Cinnamon Rejuvenation Lotion,” adds West-Harrison. Another great spicy combo (Pumpkin Apple Spice Facial, 90 minutes, $210) is cooked up at the Spa at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, San Diego, Calif. “The pumpkin enzymes polish and buff the skin, while beta-carotene delivers powerful antioxidants to make the skin glow. Vitamin A reduces the appearance of sun damage, leaving a brighter skin glow ready

for all those upcoming holiday events,” says Abril Gruber, spa director at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa. Lotus Organics Day Spa & Wellness, Bloomington, Ill., believes in the power of pumpkin so much that they offer seven treatments on their menu including three for the face, three for the back, and one scrub. “I started offering them as a promotion in October of 2009, and it was so highly requested for several months after that, it earned a permanent spot on my spa menu! Even on the hottest summer days, people request that warm, cozy pumpkin facial,” says owner Lisa M. Roberds. Beyond the pumpkin peels (see related article on page 41) at Lotus Organics, the spa also offers a Spiced Pumpkin Sugar Scrub Treatment for the body (60 minutes, $60), and a $10 addon of a Spiced Pumpkin Scrub for the feet for their “Delight” treatments, which include the Pumpkin Delight Back Treatment (75 minutes, $90) and Pumpkin Delight Skincare Treatment (75 minutes, $80). A great fan of pumpkin treatments who likes to take advantage of her spa’s semi-rural location (and thus likes to tie the farm to treatment seasonal concept), Kerian Bray, general manager at Skin ‘n Tonic, Lahaska, Pa., chooses to pamper her clients’ feet. Her Pumpkin Pie Pedi is among her fall offerings (60 minutes, $60). “We use the pumpkin as a mask after exfoliating with a sugar scrub of mixed spices. A layer of pumpkin is applied, followed by a layer or two of paraffin, then placed into a warm bootie for 10 minutes,” says Bray. “The client ends up having a double exfoliation on the feet (scrub and pumpkin mask) and the hydration of the paraffin. Their feet are totally transformed.” At Jamie’s Therapeutic Touch, Palestine, Texas, hands get the goodness of fall as well with their Pumpkin Spice Hydrating Spa Manicure. After careful cuticle and nail care, guests are treated with warmed towels, pumpkin spice scrubs and pumpkin spice butter cream, a paraffin dip with paraffin bags and a lower arm and hand massage. The treatment concludes with polish of choice (60 minutes, $40).n

It’s the season for giving! Cash in on the mood and cheer of the holidays and the generous mindset of your clients by presenting them with unique products that will please anyone on their gift giving list, including themselves— not to mention save them hours at the mall—because orange is in.
Page 48 • lneonline.com lneonline.com Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa • October 2014
With your retail area ready to be loaded with pumpkin products—from moisturizers to eye creams, cleansers to masks and scrubs—a good grasp of your clientele and their shopping/spending habits, get your plan in place. Limited edition retail offers, including gift baskets, are great opportunities to awaken your clients’ curiosity and add to your bottom line.

STEP 3
Team up and bundle A great perk of the holiday season, Soukup says, is the opportunity to team up with local businesses. Collaborate with the florist, the baker and any other nearby businesses. Perhaps the neighborhood bakery has pumpkin cookies; ask them for a “cookie donation.” Treat your clients while letting them know where those delicacies come from—free advertising for the baker—says Soukup, adding “this is a great way to gain business to business relations.” Then bundle up. Don’t simply display your limited pumpkin products, but also create attractive gift baskets that your clients won’t be able to resist. Spas can negotiate donations from their vendors as well, says Soukup, expounding, “if I spend X amount of money with them, I can get this much in free products”—a nice way to beef up those gift baskets. Feature a selection of easy to grab, ready-made gift baskets. “I prefer boxes,” says Soukup. “They’re more sophisticated, you can create a nice display.” The key, says Soukup, is to have three sets of prices for gift packages. An affordable gift package at $25, another one priced between $55 to $70, and the third one for $100. “When you have three different priced products, you are giving people the option to choose and fit in their selection with their budget.” Happy retailing! n

Who are your clients? Are they the traditional kind who like old fashioned products, packaging and smells, or are they hip young business people who like to be dared into trying out the latest trends? Take a good look at your loyal clients and keep track of the treatments they go for, as this will begin to give you a better idea of who they are and what they like. Then keep tracking some more. Don’t just look at the treatments they like to get a better sense of their taste, but assess their spending habits as well. Do they come in for a full day of relaxation and spend generously or do they enjoy the occasional facial or manicure? Look at their retail routine, do they purchase products from you at all? What do they go for (a variety of products from a skin care line, a small spur of the moment buy at check out)? How often do they purchase and how much do they spend on average? Get a full picture of your clientele’s style, likes and dislikes as well as their potential budget.
stick to their suppliers and know what pumpkin inspired products each will have going on. For example, Soukup says, one skin care supplier will have a moisturizer, while the candle supplier will have pumpkin scented candles. Armed with this information and your budget availability, you can make your selection and order up.
FIVE REASONS TO KEEP PUMPKIN YEAR-ROUND If pumpkin inspired treatments are a sure way to get your clients in the mood for fall, the orange power fruit is very much deserving of a spot in your menu beyond the seasonal promotions that come with the falling leaves. Here are five good reasons to keep pumpkin as a star feature in your menu year round.

PUMPKIN IS RICH IN VITAMINS
Pumpkin is rich in alpha-carotene and betacarotene, two carotenoids that give the fruit its vibrant orange color. The first one converts into retinol, a type of vitamin A. A great ally for anti-aging, vitamin A supports cell turnover and the production of collagen. Both carotenoids are important for skin health. Pumpkin is also packed with vitamins C and E, which are potent antioxidants that are key in the production of collagen, boost cell regeneration and hinder free radical damage. Vitamin C has also been found to reduce sun damage. “Pumpkin is an excellent treatment for all skin types, especially environmentally damaged or sensitive skin,” says Myrna Beardshear, spa director at Red Mountain Resort and Spa, Saint George, Utah. “Rich in vitamin A (skin healing), C (antioxidant) and zinc, the pumpkin soothes, moisturizes and acts as a carrier, assisting other ingredients to absorb deeper into the skin and intensifying the results.”

4 PUMPKIN REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF DIMPLED SKIN
All of the above properties of pumpkin help smooth skin—since it makes it thicker and firmer—and thus make pumpkin worth a shot for anti-cellulite treatments!
5 PUMPKIN IS FUN! Let’s face it, pumpkin on the menu year round is an eye-catcher. If people expect pumpkin treatments to be limited time offers in the fall, there’s something special about being able to get a pumpkin ______ (fill in the blank) at any time of the year! Pumpkin brings images of holidays, warmth and soothing foods to mind. For some homesick clients, getting a pumpkin treatment could be just what they were looking for, something comforting and familiar with a myriad of benefits. If some people look to food for comfort, think of the powerful effect a fragrant pumpkin spice treatment can do for your clients’ hungry souls… n
PUMPKIN IS PACKED WITH MINERALS
It might be easy to overlook the importance of minerals for skin health, yet they are crucial to keeping the skin performing at its best. Pumpkin is loaded with potassium and magnesium, which are among the most common minerals found in cells. These minerals work hand in hand with vitamins and enzymes in fighting off free radicals and helping to counter skin sensitivity and conditions including acne and dryness.

PUMPKIN IS A POWER EXFOLIATOR
Pumpkin contains power enzymes that act as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which help in removing the layer of dead skin cells and improve the appearance of acne and scars as well as photodamaged skin. They also work on the deeper layers of the skin, contributing to thicker and firmer skin. That makes pumpkin exfoliation a gentle alternative to more abrasive peels. “I’m a lover of pumpkin in treatments,” says Kerian Bray, general manager at Skin ‘n Tonic Spa & Salon, Lahaska, Pa. “Pumpkin is generally used as an enzyme/proteolytic exfoliant, digesting protein and keratin buildup.”

SPA of the
MONTH Back to Nature, an Inspirational Retreat POCONOS SPA at THE LODGE AT WOODLOCH HAWLEY, PA.
by Amanda Clinton Winter
The winding road through the forest leads only to one place. As guests get closer, the majestic trees seemingly close in, their all embracing limbs inviting one to surrender to nature and let go. The greeting of the towering cabin-like structure, its cathedral ceiling, impressive glass cupola, balcony overlooking the lake and oversized chakra bowls at the entrance set the tone for the rest of the stay—personal awakening is The Lodge at Woodloch’s philosophy. “We all get swept up in the whirlwind of life and need an opportunity to rediscover ourselves,” says Spa Director Nancy Deaton. “With our philosophy of personal awakening, we pride ourselves in giving them that opportunity at The Lodge at Woodloch.”

treatments, or receiving one treatment per day with their stay. “Guests have the opportunity to participate in creative discovery classes, outdoor adventure activities and fitness classes,” says Deaton. “They can design their stay based on what interests them the most and hopefully discover a new passion or dust off an old hobby, which they then continue to nurture once they return home.” The 40,000 square foot spa is a sanctuary for the senses. Guests can relax at the coed Whisper Lounge or immerse themselves in the Aqua Garden, complete with therapeutic soaking pools and dramatic hydromassage WaterWalls surrounded by native boulders. An indoor activity pool and an infinity-edge whirlpool located on an outdoor porch overlooking the lake are also featured. Separate men’s and women’s locker rooms are adorned with fireplace lounges, a sauna, steam room and whirlpool facilities with screened-in porches, signature private shower and changing suites.
Active indoor pursuits take place in the expansive windowed cardio/weight training studio, spinning room, yoga/ meditation and dance/fitness studios. Spa services are offered in 27 treatment rooms and focus on the use of natural ingredients, incorporating therapies from Europe and the Far East as well as indigenous elements. At the spa, guests are invited to relax and unwind to let their body and mind be awakened and transformed. With that idea in mind—and taking into account their 35 percent men to 65 percent women ratio—the spa offers an array of treatments that is sure to please all. Their signature treatment is the Rosemary Awakening body treatment. Inspired by the healing properties of rosemary, the treatment begins with a stimulating body polish of sea salt, rosemary from their healing garden and citrus to cleanse and detoxify. Next, a full body massage enhanced by locally crafted rosemaryinfused oils and herbal heat packs relaxes and restores tired muscles.

Nestled in Pennsylvania’s lake region, the resort and spa rests a short 95 miles—a convenient two to three hour drive—from the New York City metropolitan area, and is easily accessible from anywhere in the Northeast. The all-inclusive property, set on more than 150 pristine wooded acres with a 15-acre private lake, offers a serene escape but boasts the luxury of proximity. With less than a decade of operation—The Lodge at Woodloch opened in June 2006—the luxury destination spa has swept dozens of awards, including the number three Destination Spa in the World by Travel + Leisure World’s Best Award 2014, and made Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Top Spa List in 2013. Stays include rooms and all meals, fitness activities and classes, use of the spa and most lectures and events. Packages also include a personal spa concierge to help guests design their programs. Guests have the choice between two packages, allowing them to choose between rooms plus à la carte spa

A warm seaweed wrap, steeped in extracts of Icelandic moss and angelica to nourish dry skin, and a luxurious scalp massage complete the healing journey (100 minutes, $250).

This is not your typical destination spa weekend but opens the doors to a new set of potential guests.” Inspired by nature and with a personal reawakening mind frame, The Lodge at Woodloch is a destination to get away from the daily stresses and rediscover the stillness within. “At The Lodge at Woodloch, we let nature nurture,” says Deaton. “We take our cues from the nature that surrounds us and provide guests with results driven spa treatments that help ease both the mind and body.

It also encourages members to introduce friends and family to our property,” says Deaton. “We created this package to focus on our slower times, allowing for us to see an increase in revenue when our occupancy is typically lower.” In order to create this membership—the spa counts about 65 members—Deaton says they made sure it would be of value to the guests and the spa as well. “Some of the components of the membership program cost very little to us, but are very popular with our guests, like our day pass, which helps keep our costs down,” Deaton says. The Lodge at Woodloch also partners with local businesses, such as with a local aromatherapist who handcrafts some of their massage oils, relies on local purveyors for their restaurant and hosts quarterly community events. If local events and memberships keep locals interested, The Lodge relies on word of mouth to attract new guests—that is on the good words their guests will share of their trip to friends and family—and on a dedicated marketing approach to attract newcomers and return clients. “We have a limited print and online budget as well as a dedicated social media campaign (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

WHEN FRICTION IS
WELCOME Dry Skin Brushing in the Spa by Nina Curtis
What’s Dry Skin Brushing? Dry skin brushing most often uses a natural bristle body brush to eliminate accumulated dead cells from the surface of the skin. It also stimulates blood circulation and the lymphatic system. In addition, the massaging effect of the bristles, as they lightly brush the skin’s surface, is known to be highly beneficial for increasing warmth in the body tissue, which can improve the application and absorption of body serums, gels and massage creams. Many spa treatments begin with a dry skin brush session to enhance and complement a body wrap, detoxification seaweed treatment or aromatherapy massage.

Dry skin brushing‘s been practiced in many cultures throughout history as a part of one’s daily hygiene routine. Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old science that originated in India, includes dry skin brushing as part of its cleansing philosophies. In Japan, it was traditional to brush the skin vigorously with a loofah before taking the traditional hot bath. Ancient Greek athletes used a tool known as a strigile after strenuous exercise in order to both clean the skin and promote healthy circulation. The Cherokee Indians used dry corn cobs in order to enhance the strength and beauty of the skin. Within traditional naturopathic writings, dry skin brushing is commonly referred to as a “dry friction bath.”

spa | when friction is welcome Benefits of Dry Skin Brushing Gently removes dead skin cell layers from the surface of the skin to improve smoothness and encourage cell renewal. Stimulates the lymphatic system by aiding the flow of lymph fluids. The lymphatic system’s job is to eliminate toxins, and it’s an important part of the immune system. The lymphatic system doesn’t have a “pumping” device like the heart, and any accumulated waste can contribute to disease and premature aging. Regulates and increases blood circulation. As we age, we often lose good circulation due to a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and stress. Dry skin brushing helps boost circulation. Rejuvenates the nervous system by stimulating nerve endings in the skin. This has a very relaxing effect on the body and mind. Increases blood circulation to warm the skin tissue. This helps serums, gels and creams be absorbed more readily.
Contributes to healthier muscle tone and better distribution of fat deposits. Skin will begin to show significant improvements in skin texture, tone and smoothness following daily use for a minimum of three months.
Aromatherapy and therapeutic massage. Dry skin brushing before massage therapy increases blood circulation, boosting muscle relaxation, body toning and skin tightening benefits.
Teaching Clients to Dry Brush at Home
Applications for Dry Brushing in the Spa Exfoliation and body scrubs. Dry skin brushing can be done before exfoliation products or body scrubs are used to begin the exfoliation process on the skin. This also relaxes the client, as the brush strokes are rhythmic in movement. Detoxification body treatments. Incorporating dry skin brushing before detoxification treatments stimulates the lymphatic system and aids lymphatic flow, enhancing overall treatment results. These types of treatments are best scheduled on a weekly basis for a period of six to 12 weeks. Of course, diet, exercise and breath work are the keys to overall success.
Clients will benefit most from any professional treatment when they’re taught how to maintain the results at home. As professionals, we work with a client for about one to two hours in a weekly or monthly session. In order for our clients to see real changes in their skin and bodies, it’s imperative that we teach them exactly what they must do at home to maintain the results between sessions. The best dry skin brushes to retail to clients are the same ones used during a treatment. Clients can also consider brushes with longer handles since the client will have to reach their backside. The dry brush should be made of natural bristles or loofah fibers. Explain to clients that skin brushing is best done on dry skin, prior to bathing. Brushing should be done gently in short, rhythmic, even strokes toward the heart.

CREATING
RESORT
S PA experiences Transform your small spa with big resort ambiance by Jenny Hogan
Your spa may not have the budget, square footage or allure of a destination resort in Bali or Istanbul. Yet you can transform your rooms and services to give it that unmistakable resort feel. Just follow the advice from these experts that will have your clients sigh with pure bliss. Ahhh…
Space Element
There’s no doubt that resort spas are synonymous with spaciousness—ample hallways, cathedral-like ceilings and seemingly unending scenery. Yet short of remodeling your spa, re-creating that space might seem tricky. Spa designer Sam Margulies, owner of Atmosphere Spa Design in Montreal, Canada, suggests playing with lights, wall color and texture to give corridors the illusion of a resort’s scale. “The paint on the walls must be of a color and texture that will make the stiffness of straight narrow corridors disappear,” he says. Add to that two different sets of lights—on one side a series of lights looking down set at 12 inches from the floor, and on the opposite wall a series of lights looking up set at 6 feet— and walls will seemingly expand in front of you.
October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
lneonline.com • Page 71
spa | creating resport spa experiences Although Margulies supports bringing colors to the walls, he warns against large murals of nature scenes that will significantly reduce the space—and if not done right will most likely look “amateurish.” Another light gimmick if ceilings are high, says Margulies, is to add a faux ceiling that ends inches away from the walls with lights installed between the ceiling and faux ceiling, which will break the stiffness of straight walls. If remodeling is of the order, then Margulies advises reducing the number of treatment rooms, arguing that six rooms with an 80 percent turnout rate is better than eight at 60 percent. He also suggests widening corridors by breaking the straight line, such as with curves.
Water Element
Say you saw it in LNE & Spa and circle #331 on reader service card
Fountains might be among the first things that come to mind when one thinks of bringing water into their urban spa. Margulies cautions against including them in treatment rooms because the sound of water generates the urge to go… “This forces the person to get up, walk out of the
treatment room, and just like that we have broken the resort spa experience,” Margulies says. Lynn Curry, spa designer and owner of Curry Spa Consulting LLC, Sonoma, Calif., suggests using mirrors. “Some clever mirror designs are backlit, they have etchings of water, and with the correct light, light that flickers, it gives the illusion of water,” she says. While incorporating wet rooms—definite fixtures at resort spas—might not be feasible, Curry proposes adding a water ritual to your treatments, such as starting off every experience with a foot soak, or turning the shower to double as a steam shower as well. Margulies agrees. Picture this: your small spa with an infrared sauna and a shower/steam shower. You now have the potential to offer an array of complete body care with the flair of grand resorts. “You can create a complete body care starting with a few minutes in the sauna, then into the treatment room for a body wrap, then out to the shower/steam shower to rinse off and back on the table for another treatment, now that is five stars service,” Margulies says.

Heat Element
If saunas go hand in hand with resort spas, experts argue for the convenience of infrared saunas at urban spas. “Infrared panels are a smart choice […],” says Brian Paris, division president for Universal Spa Equipment. “Infrared heat also penetrates better into the body and detoxes from the inside.” Margulies agrees. “An infrared sauna in a treatment room can give it more of a resort feel and you can incorporate more resort inspired treatments,” he says. If resort spa experiences bring images of chimneys and bonfires, forget about incorporating these at urban spas, experts say. Margulies contends that fire brings the burden of code compliancy, adding that faux electric chimneys have just the opposite of a resort feel. Paris suggests adding the fire element with eco-friendly fire effects in floor inserts, on the wall or in glass tabletop units. The real fire runs on liquid fuel and has safety mechanisms to prevent tipping or spillage. No venting is needed and the fire provides real warmth, he says. Curry proposes faux fire done with light. “It’s a very cool item that you plug and it gives the illusion of flames,” she says, adding that it gives very little heat out, ideal for hot locations.
Sound Element
Yet another touch to give your small spa a resort feel is through sound—or the lack of it. “In a resort you don’t hear a thing,” says Margulies, “but at an urban spa you can hear someone sneeze in the next door treatment room.” As such Margulies argues that good soundproofing is critical. Adding wall isolation could be fairly low-cost, Margulies says. In the event that it’s not feasible, he suggests white noise, which masks background noise. Then, there’s music. Curry suggests having iPod docking stations in each treatment room, and either have clients choose from a list of music styles (nature, classical, etc.) or let them play their own tunes. Paris proposes face cushions for tables that have little pockets for an iPod to slip into and with built-in flat panel speakers. Margulies has this to add, “Have relaxing music in common areas but not in the corridors because it’s very close from the treatment rooms.”

spa | creating resport spa experiences Equipment Upgrades
Is it essential to get new equipment to create a resort spa feel? Not necessarily, says Margulies. Although some tables certainly lack that resort look and feel, there are ways to camouflage that. “Guests don’t really know about massage tables,” says Curry, “but they’ll know how it feels when they get on it.” Paris, Curry and Margulies suggest luxe linens that feel opulent to the touch. Curry advises going for heating pads covered with sheep skin pads so clients feel like “they’re in a cocoon.”

Simple Touches
Sometimes the smallest things are the most memorable. While you could emblazon your logo on everything from robes to sheets, clients will most likely not notice. The exception? “It sounds funny,” says Paris, “but clients will look down at their spa slippers the entire time they’re waiting for treatment.” For Margulies, it all comes down to the service. No matter how nice and resort-like the spa may look, if the service doesn’t follow, the efforts are wasted. It starts with the way the staff looks (the uniforms), to the way they address the guests, and other little details such as a bowl of rose petals set on the massage table as the client walks in. “Provide food and beverages, offer a glass of champagne,” says Curry. “Order lunch from small catering companies, take advantage of local food and beverage opportunities.” Finally, don’t discount the waiting/relaxing room that’s often relayed to one space in urban spas. Curry suggests using sheer curtain dividers or shoji screens to allow guests to have these last moments of relaxation with some seeming intimacy. Margulies proposes the following: “Eliminate the waiting room and have a relaxation room instead.” The waiting room is a space that shouldn’t exist if appointments are managed properly, he argues. If clients need to wait, they should do so in the retail area, where they should be stimulated with visuals to get additional treatments or buy products, he adds. “Every spa is different with their challenges,” says Curry, yet with some creativity and ingenuity, your small urban spa could rival the big leagues. n

Have you ever heard a business owner say at the end of a transaction, “The best compliment you could give me is a referral”? This is a gentle reminder to satisfied customers that referrals are always highly appreciated. But referrals are so much more than simply kind words; in fact, they’re absolutely essential to any successful business owner’s bottom line. Research shows that up to 45 percent of businesses are chosen based on the recommendations of others—that means that almost half of all transactions start out with a referral. And with customer review websites like Google, Yelp, Angie’s List and Insider Pages growing in popularity, that percentage is rapidly on the rise. Many business owners spend significant money on their advertising budgets, yet overlook the far reaching impact of the referral. Referrals are
basically free advertising! They cost the business owner nothing more than excellent, consistent customer service, something they’re ostensibly already doing. Many business owners hesitate to directly ask customers for referrals because they’re afraid of coming across as “pushy.” However, as a marketing entrepreneur with years of experience in the beauty industry, I can tell you that asking for referrals is anything but pushy. You’re actually doing your clients a favor by encouraging them to spread the word about your wonderful services or products. People are happy to extend referrals for businesses they love because it makes them feel good to share. Their friends, neighbors and co-workers are happy to receive referrals from a trusted individual, as this saves them time and frustration. So get past the mis-

conception that “referrals are pushy,” and focus instead on providing the best possible customer service and making the world a better place. It may sound funny, but it’s true. Here are some referral types to consider:
Word of Mouth These are the referrals shared casually as the result of a particularly successful transaction(s). They tend to happen organically and over time.
Email Sharing Ask clients to share your email offers with their friends, in exchange for giving a discount on their next treatment.
Testimonials A quick request for a client’s positive review can be used in future marketing materials.

Partnership/Reciprocity Let’s say you’re an esthetician specializing in waxing and laser hair removal. Ask a local hair salon to leave your business cards or flyers at their front desk and do the same for the salon. Partnerships are also formed by mutual referrals on websites, bulletin boards and promotional materials, and by offering time or services at partners’ networking events.
Online Reviews
Try a similar concept on YouTube, asking clients to share the video with friends. Acknowledge a positive Facebook or Yelp review and offer a discount for your client and a friend on their next treatment. Many business owners mistakenly believe that if they provide good customer service, referrals are inevitable. This simply isn’t true, at least not always. Asking for referrals on a regular basis has to be part of your overall business plan. You really need to get comfortable with it. Referrals are as important to you as your advertising budget and overhead expenses, so don’t minimize them. Be specific with your referral requests and resist posing “Yes or No” questions such as, “Do you have any friends who would like an anti-aging facial?” Phrasing it this way makes it too easy for the customer to say, “No,” or, “Let me think about
it.” Instead, look for opportunities to be very specific. For example, one of your favorite customers tells you what a great result she got from her last facial with you. Bingo! It’s the perfect time to hand her two discount cards and say, “Susan, I’m glad you liked it! I’d love to get more clients like you. Would you give this card to your best friend for $30 off a facial? The other one is for you, to say thank you!” When referral requests become a regular habit, you too will start generating referrals like nobody’s business! n

According to one recent survey, 90 percent of respondents claimed that positive online reviews influenced buying decisions, while 86 percent said that buying decisions were influenced by negative online reviews. Asking every single happy customer to write an online review for you is easy, but people don’t always remember to follow through. So entice them to do so with a coupon or discount for their next service after they’ve given you a glowing referral— and allow them to bring a friend with them for the same discount. The possibilities for referrals via social media are practically endless. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Post an offer on Facebook and ask existing clients to like it. When they do, their friends will want to try it, too.

DUTY Creating membership programs for loyal customers by Nathalie Gouillou It’s a sign of loyalty, an indication of status at times, but most importantly it fulfills a fundamental human need—belonging. That’s what membership does. And when this applies to a spa or salon setting, there are many perks that come along with being part of a beauty and wellness group. But what are those benefits to the salon or spa owner, and are they worth the extra work? Adding memberships to your menu could be just what you were looking for to add to your bottom line… find out how.
Why a Membership? If memberships at chain spas might seem like a given—they allow frequent travelers to get their services at any of the chain’s locations—more day spas and high-end locales are also opting to add memberships to their menu and seem pleased with the results. According to a 2013 International Spa Association (ISPA) study, 35 percent of day spas and 38 percent of resort/hotel spas offer membership programs to their clients—numbers specific to med-spas were not available. While spas have varying rationales for adding memberships to their menu, one reason trumps all: getting clients hooked and coming back. Memberships set in writing that sought after and special bond between spas and their guests. When it comes to wellness, skin care and any other treatments (including retail), members will stick to their spa with an added sense of fidelity and trust—bearing a stronger and longer lasting relationship.

discounts. Adds Ronco, “the discount on retail and on services creates more traffic, therefore more opportunity to sell.”
Membership Types Membership programs can be as original as that of their creators, salon and spa owners, or they could be basic yet effective. A basic membership could be a flat rate that would provide a small yet enticing discount on all services. Another elementary plan could offer members a credit balance higher than the membership cost. Yet another option could be that the price of the membership includes a set of free services, discounts on other treatments and retail, and perhaps free access to seemingly cost-free services. Spas and salons may choose to offer one single type of membership or a variety based on the types of services they offer, the clientele they have and the general image they may want to convey. Massage Envy Spa, the notable chain spa (services include massages and facials) opted for a single membership ($59.99 or $69.99 depending on region) that provides its members with a monthly customized massage—or a facial for an additional $10—and benefits that include unused massage rollover and access to any location nationwide. In addition, members get retail discounts, massages and facials at a special member rate. “Massage Envy Spa’s network of franchisees […] provide 1.5 million services every month to more than 1.5 million members,” says Susan Boresow, chief marketing officer at Massage Envy Spa—the chain has nearly 1,000 locations in the country. The plan—which Boresow says allows the chain to keep its prices affordable to a greater portion of people—also entices clients by not automatically locking them into a yearly contract and offering the option of signing up for six or three months.

If urban chain spas can attract people on a budget who still want to benefit from stress relief that spa treatments bring, resort hotel spas, trendy day spas and even luxe destination spas are increasingly looking into attracting and keeping clients through memberships.

Then there is more. Memberships bring upfront payments—a plus when the money is well managed. “It creates negative working capital,” says Nicolas Ronco, owner of YeloSpa in New York, N.Y. “Payments are made in advance for services that have yet to be rendered.” And memberships pique clients’ curiosity—they are encouraged to try new services. “We had members that would mainly go for nap [treatments] and all the sudden they are doing massages,” Ronco says. “Then we had members who would essentially do half hour massages who are now going for a full hour. We observe a change in the client’s behavior.” Ronco sums up the cons as such, “The biggest problem with memberships are the discounts that are offered,” he says, “but it’s compensated by the breakage.” Indeed clients who purchase the membership but do not use it—paying for it upfront either for a set period of time or through a monthly automatic charge on their credit card— allow spas to make up for the loss incurred by

business | call of duty Marketing In order to promote their memberships, many spas rely on their websites and in store marketing. Ronco not only blasts emails to his current clients but also banks on Travelzoo—a website that publishes deals on travel, entertainment, local businesses, restaurants and spas. Yet the most popular tool he says, “recommendations from therapists themselves and front desk staff.” Deaton agrees. To that she adds direct mail pieces and promotions of their membership at special community events, she says.
Tips While some salons and spas might think that implementing memberships into their menu may not be a match for them—high-end resorts that principally cater to tourists for example—taking a good look at your current clientele and the possibilities will be time well spent. “We did an analysis of our database where we have about 8,500 loyal customers and we identified about 300 of them as having the characteristics of membership type clients,” says Ronco. “Out of these we estimated that about 50 of them would sign up, what we hadn’t taken into consideration was that new clients would sign up as well.” Ronco’s last advice: “Go for it once you have high and consistent quality service […]. Don’t try to retain people through coercion that’ll only scare them away, what matters is that they don’t feel stuck.”

• Ronco launched his three membership plans at YeloSpa in April. For a set monthly price ($99, $39, or $29 based on the membership plan), members get a free treatment (up to a certain value) and discounts on retail and other services. Ronco opted for monthly memberships, cancelable at any time. “We make people’s life easier so that they can leave the membership whenever they please,” says Ronco, adding, “the only thing is that if you want to cancel, you can only renew within six months.” The rule, explains Ronco, prevents clients from abusing the memberships and their offers by randomly canceling and signing up again. YeloSpa has been counting more than 100 monthly memberships from the time of its inception—more than expected says Ronco— and estimates that they’ll go up to 500 by the end of the year. • The Spa at the Standard Hotel, Miami Beach, Fla., chooses to offer their guests a single spa membership, which includes a monthly spa credit of $175, discounts on additional services, food and personal fitness training, as well as unlimited use of the pool, hammam and gym. The idea, Standard representatives argue, is to target prospective clients beyond the guests on property to create “a strong community vibe.” • With a similar idea in mind, The Lodge at Woodloch, Hawley, Pa., opted to launch its membership program in January 2012 to encourage local clients to visit the Lodge regularly and connect with the resort and spa. The yearly membership (a $799 upfront payment) offers a series of spa treatments, complimentary lunch certificates, retail, spa services, private fitness training discounts and free monthly passes to the fitness center and pools. “We needed to make sure that the […] membership was of great value for the guest,” says Spa Director Nancy Deaton. “Some of the components of the membership program cost very little to us, but are very popular with our guests, like our day pass, which helps keep our costs down.” Deaton argues that the membership—the Lodge currently counts 65 members—not only creates a bond between locals and the resort, but also prompts members to spread the word about the spa and sparks them to purchase beyond what their membership offers. “I think once they are a member, they are here on a more regular basis and remain in that ‘spa’ frame of mind,” says Deaton.

The power of words: Transformation at the cellular level by EuGene Gant
Once upon a time, says the story, a Sufi—an ascetic and mystic—healed a sick child by uttering a few words while declaring to his parents that he would now be well. A man questioned the Sufi, arguing that simple words couldn’t cure. “You’re a fool,” answered the Sufi, to which the man took great offense, his face red and hot with anger. “When a word has the power to make you hot and angry,” continued the Sufi, “why should not a word have the power to heal?” Words are powerful indeed. We often casually throw them around as if they didn’t really have much meaning or influence on people’s well-being and our own. Perhaps you commented on your client’s tired eyes as they came in for their treatment. While you meant little
by your observation or were simply making polite conversation, your client walked away with these words echoing in their mind and body.
From the Dawn of Time The power of the Word has been at the heart of many traditions, beliefs and religions around the world, which acknowledge the Word, and thus the Sound, as the basis of creation. “In the beginning was the Word,” says the Gospel of John. Yet long before this verse put forth the power of Word, the Hermetic doctrine of ancient Egypt worshipped the spoken word. Quite similarly, the ancient Sufi tradition holds great importance to the Word and Sound from which it says the very first signs of life man-
ifested. Following the same vein, Shakti Naam Yoga—“naam” is Sanskrit for “word”—asserts that everything comes from Naam…
And There’s More What if I told you that every cell in the body has the ability to hear everything that’s said, and then make it true? Trillions of cells embracing positive words or reacting to unfavorable ones, uplifting people’s bodies and souls throughout the day or keeping them in a constant state of desolation. Trillions of cells echoing beauty or misery, health or disease. Can you imagine what a difference it would make in your life and that of your clients? While ancient doctrines have long insisted on the power of the spoken word and its effect at the cellular level,

organic & wellness | the power of word scientific research supports the concept as well. Indeed, how one speaks to oneself and others ultimately affects every cell and organ in the body. Among many scientists, Dr. Masaru Emoto and Dr. John Upledger suggested that cells have a level of consciousness (and intelligence), the latter pointing to viruses’ ability to “fool” cells into accepting them. Put in quite simplistic terms, the contention is that cells have the ability to hear messages and accommodate or react based on these. A positive frame of mind, and positive thoughts and words are crucial, because they establish a dialogue with the body and cells, leading to happiness and health.
Gratitude and Love at the Cell Level
Your treatments will have that much more impact on them and they’ll be sure to come back for more. It may sound strange, but talking to cells works. This simple assertion and practice has the power to transform your business and your life. Welcome to the next level in customer service… tell me how it goes! n

So where am I going with this? Positive reinforcement of cellular structures occurs when people are encouraged and appreciated. Telling yourself that you’re beautiful is a great practice that’ll make you feel better.
Telling your cells that they’re healthy and vibrant can be that much more powerful. Begin this challenge with yourself, taking two minutes each day to tell every cell in your body how grateful you are for their hard work. Then pass it along to your clients. As you speak positive words to them, they will bounce back to you, continuing to affect you. Now how do you convey this to clients without sounding like you’ve just watched too much Star Trek? Don’t worry about the details and just do it! When a client walks in, let these be the first words they hear: “Hi, welcome. You look so vibrant today, let’s see how we can enhance that glow you’re walking around with.” As you do so, genuinely address every cell in their body. Not only have you uplifted the person—this transfers into serotonin being released in the bloodstream, thus happy hormones— but your client’s internal dialogue is now set in the “I’m vibrant” mode for the remainder of their time in your care.

Cranberries by Natalie Pergar
When I think of cranberries, I think of Thanksgiving dinner. But cranberries are not just a popular Thanksgiving delight and winter holiday staple, they’re also a great addition to your spa menu.
Boasting multiple benefits for the skin, cranberries will be seen in a whole new light by your clients. Cranberry season means brighter, firmer and younger looking skin! Cranberries are packed with health benefits. Scientists continue to discover the powerful attributes of cranberries and have identified mechanisms that help explain their anti-cancer properties. Not surprisingly, these handy little red berries can also do wonders for the skin. Keep an eye out for products with cranberries to incorporate into your skin care treatments and never look back!

A treat for your clients’ skin
Anti-aging action The cranberry truly is a fountain of youth! It’s high in polyphenols and vitamins C and E, which are all natural antioxidants that provide powerful protection for the skin against free radical damage. Over time the skin naturally produces less collagen, but the vitamin C content in cranberries aids its production to help keep your clients’ skin firm and tight. In the fight against aging, it’s also essential to maintain skin’s moisture. Cranberries can fill this role with the presence of vitamin B5, which increases moisture content in the skin, keeping it looking young and radiant. No more breakouts The anti-bacterial properties of cranberries can really act as superstars to help clear out acne, pimples and skin inflammations. In fact, researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have discovered that compounds in cranberries can alter E. coli bacteria, which demonstrates just how effective these fruits can be. If it can help overcome E. coli, imagine the impact it can have on the skin! In addition, vitamin B3 found in cranberries inhibits inflammation, reduces acne scars and helps keep skin pores open. These red gems have limitless benefits! Brighten up your clients’ day Mother Nature comes through once again with a fruit that can lighten your clients’ skin naturally. Cranberries might be the perfect surprise for those looking for natural solutions for dark spots and visible sun damage! Like blueberries and bearberries, cranberries contain arbutin, which inhibits the production of the melanin responsible for the hyperpigmentation that you see on the skin. Smooth things over Cranberries continue to tick all the boxes with their contributions to skin care by producing seeds that can be used as a gentle and safe form of exfoliation in soaps and facial scrubs. Since we’re more inclined to indulge or treat each other to some variation of this tart fruit during the holidays, you can build upon your clients’ association with cranberries and the holiday season to maximize sales of treatments and products utilizing this ingredient. Additionally, in the harsh winter climate skin is also in need of an extra helping hand to look its best, and cranberries can definitely help combat dry and October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa

Imperial brew The beneficial properties of tea by Nathalie Gouillou
Legend has it that on a chilly afternoon nearly 5,000 years ago, the great ruler of China, Shennong, sat under a Camellia sinensis plant and boiled some water for a warm drink. As some dried leaves fell into the pot, the water turned a brownish color and exuded a comforting earthy aroma. His curiosity spiked, Shennong took a sip—and so it is that the first cup of tea was brewed. Drank as a warm beverage, used for ritual offerings, its leaves eaten as vegetables and crushed for medicinal remedies, tea has been hailed for centuries as a wonder ingredient and continues to gain in popularity today as its beneficial properties keep on unraveling.
Elixir of youth In the world of cosmetics, beauty and spas, tea can be a power ally in the all time fight against aging. Its protective antioxidants, vitamins and phytochemicals help promote healthy and youthful skin. Applied topically, tea penetrates the skin (especially after a good exfoliation) to bring its beneficial agents. From facials to body wraps, scrubs and pedicures, tea can be incorporated in many treatments at your salon or spa and feature prominently in your retail area as well.
October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
lneonline.com • Page 103
organic & wellness | imperial brew Let’s take a look at the wonders that tea from the Camellia sinensis plant has to offer, as well as the goodness some other herbal beverages (tisanes) commonly referred to as tea—rooibos, mate and chamomile—can bring to your treatments. There are thousands of different varieties of teas, which not only tout diverse flavors and aromas but also can carry distinct health benefits. Among the most popular are white tea, green tea, black tea and oolong tea. White and green teas are by far favored by the cosmeceutical industry, as black, and oolong teas lose many of their beneficial properties through the oxidation process that gives them their notorious flavor— black tea leaves are left to dry and oxidize, and are then crushed for further oxidation that gives it its dark color, while oolong tea is partially oxidized.
White tea White tea, which gets its name from the silvery white color that the leaf tips and buds take on as they wither, is perhaps considered the purest form of teas, as it is hand picked from the youngest and most tender leaves—it’s also the most expensive of all teas because its processing takes several steps
that are quite laborious. Studies to test the health properties of several plants and herbs have shown the superiority of white tea for its high antioxidant levels and its ability to block enzymes from breaking down elastin and collagen that leads to the sagging of skin and fine lines that come with age. Candle Day Spa in Frederick, Md., offers the White Tea Pedicure, which includes a classic pedicure, white tea sugar scrub, white tea moisture mask, white tea therapy lotion and paraffin treatment to help repair dry and damaged skin (45 minutes, $45).
Green tea Perhaps today’s most popular kind of tea, green tea, is also highly valued for its beneficial properties. In order to prevent oxidation, the leaves are either roasted, pan fired or steamed. Green tea is packed with anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidants and a form of flavonoid (catechins, the most active ingredient being EGCG or epigallocatechin-3-gallate) that protects against UV radiation. Studies have also pointed to its anti-aging properties in hindering the breakdown of collagen. Silk Road Tea Spa, Victoria, Canada, features the Green Tea Facial, a restor-
ative facial with the antioxidant power of green tea and regenerative effects of essential oils. The facial prevents fine lines, smoothes and softens the complexion and is beneficial for all skin types (60 minutes, $55).
Black and oolong tea Oolong tea, which is partially oxidized, and black tea, the most oxidized of all most popular teas, are known for their stronger fragrance. Although they lose some of their beneficial properties during processing, they still contain good amounts of vitamins and antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and help with skin regeneration. The Spa at the Setai, Miami Beach, Fla., features The Oriental Ceremony, which combines a gentle oriental massage and a body scrub with white, green, black and rooibos tea for two (90 minutes, $520).
Rooibos tea Rooibos tea, also known as red tea or bush tea, comes from a South African bush, the Aspalathus linearis, which bush tribes have used for generations as a comforting drink and for its curative purposes. Like tea, rooibos is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids that fight off free radicals and contribute to healthy cell turnover. Angsana Spa Vineyard in Cape Town, South Africa, offers the Rooibos Tea Ripple, a 30-minute treatment that involves a rub with rooibos (30 minutes, $30).
Yerba mate (from the Spanish) or mate tea comes from the Ilex paraguariensis plant, that has been grown and consumed for centuries by the people of South America, especially in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, mate is often compared to green tea and is said to carry many of its benefits (their antioxidants, however, differ). The Spa at the Four Seasons Hotel, Buenos Aires, Argentina, offers the Discovering Argentina, a massage Page 104 • lneonline.com Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa • October 2014

organic & wellness | imperial brew that uses local products such as yerba mate to nourish the skin, release tension and create a complete feeling of well-being (80 minutes, $210).
Chamomile tea The European herb (from Matricaria retutica and Chamaemelum nobile) has long been used as a tisane to appease stomachs and lull people into a good night’s sleep. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties make chamomile an excellent choice for irritated and sensitive skin. Aquaterra Spa at Surf & Sand Resort, Laguna, Calif., features the Chamomile Body Scrub, a two-step gentle body exfoliation utilizing pumice stone followed by a loofah scrub with a chamomile shower and bath gel, rich in
botanicals. The treatment ends with an application of chamomile body lotion to moisturize skin (50 minutes, $120). Conclude your tea services by offering your clients a freshly brewed cup of tea for an extra dose of comfort and relaxation, and let them surrender body and mind to the power of the divine herb. n

ravishing red lips!
Following the recent Fashion Weeks in Milan, Paris, New York and London, trends were set for the fall/winter 201415 season. Amongst metallic eye shadows and highlights for colored eyes, red lipstick has been ubiquitous in the collections. Red is the color of choice, from ox blood red to delicate coral stains. Purple was the accent color of choice. Red lips are trendy and a universal classic like the little black dress, yet many women assume they can’t wear the color, which is false. They just

need the help of their beauty coach to choose the perfect shade for their skin tone. This article guides you through the different shades of red lipstick and skin tones that are best suited to each. Orange-red (vermilion): This color is great on warm and medium complexions and beige skin. Pair this color with warm and golden tones for cheeks and eyes, like apricot or peach tones.
Raspberry: Contains pink tones that stand out against dark and olive complexions. Rich, copper skin is accented beautifully with a brighter berry red shade. The brightness of fuschia and raspberry based reds complements the natural warmth of these skins. Top it with a shiny lip balm and keep it cool with pink blush and simple eyes. A little shimmer on the eyes to match the raspberry lipstick is fun and youthful. Rose-red: Contains blue tones that are perfect for light skin tones. Pair these colors with pink blush and neutral color eye shadows. True red: Pick this color for fair skin. With doll-like porcelain skin, a true candy apple red adds lovely color and contrast. Look for shades that have blue to bring out warmth in the skin tone. Cranberry: Warms up fair skin tones and is just enough color to look chic and sophisticated. Cranberry is a warm red, so pair this color with other warm tones like earth tones. Browns, oranges and greens look rich and fab!
Wine: When this deep red is used against porcelain skin, it is quite lovely; violet tones keep porcelain complexions from looking washed out. Deep chocolate skin paired with a purple-based red creates an incredibly chic look, preferably with a bit of gold iridescence or glitter. Recommend other violet colors for the cheeks and eyes to complement this lipstick, keeping it somewhat monochromatic. Page 110 • lneonline.com Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa • October 2014

Cherry red: Try this color for coffee colored skin. Skin the color of black coffee looks great with a bright red for the same reason that fair skin does—it creates a beautiful contrast. Use a glossy red with blue undertones.

image | ravishing red lips! After choosing the right shade, follow these useful tips to perform an outstanding, lasting lipstick application. First step: Smooth out the lips. One unfortunate consequence of wearing red lipstick (especially matte) is that dry, peeling and flaky lips are exaggerated. Use a sugar scrub to remove any dead skin from the lips, and follow with a moisturizer or lip balm. Lips will look significantly improved in red lipstick if they are smoothed and softened first. Second step: Fill in lips. Red lipstick tends to bleed, especially on mature skin or smokers’ skin with wrinkles around the lips, so fill in lips with a lip liner first. Apply all over the lips to make the lipstick last longer.

Keep the rest of the makeup subtle. Red lipstick is a statement—almost an accessory, so it’s important to keep the rest of your client’s makeup toned down. Strong eye makeup is acceptable for evening or event looks. Keep a neutral eye with soft skin to achieve this classic look.There’s no need to match red lips with red nails—that may actually look too vampy. A clear polish or light color is cool, and dark polish is a trend that will be around for a while. If your client wants to go red on the nails, make sure the color matches the lips. Choose lighter shades on your older clients, as lips get thin with age and dark lips can accentuate them. Try a rosy red or avoid red lips altogether and opt for a neutral shade, playing up the eyes instead. At the conclusion of the makeup application, advise your clients to check their lipstick often and reapply when necessary. With the exception of some top-of-the-line lipsticks, it’s highly likely that the lipstick will fade or feather over time. When your client notices that it’s faded significantly, tell them to wipe off any that has bled outside the lips, even it out by wiping off areas that are particularly heavy and swipe on a second (or third) coat. Apply these techniques and tips to send your clients off with perfectly pretty pouts this coming winter season! n

TECHNIQUES Four Fabulous Tips to Create a Balanced Face by Chantal Sauvignon
In the world of beauty, people are always striving for perfection. Everyone wants a perfect body, perfect hair and perfect looking face. Any makeup artist worth their brushes will tell you that the most fundamental skill is knowing how to transform your subject’s skin to its most perfect appearance. Working backstage at fashion shows, on set and beside some of the industry’s most talented artists, I have learned many strategies in this area. Here I will share my tips on how to create a more balanced face.
October 2014 • Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
First, let’s talk about corrective makeup and what it means. This simply means to “correct or balance out” your clients’ features to create a more flattering face shape. Whether we are contouring a round face into a slimmer looking, more proportionate oval shape or trying to make the eyes look bigger, the same basic principles of highlighting and contouring apply. Basically, we are bringing forward or pushing out areas our clients like when we highlight, and receding the areas they don’t like when we contour.

It’s just a matter of proper light and dark placement. This applies to all aspects of makeup. Here, I explain some of my tips and tricks on how to properly conceal acne, minimize the forehead, open up hooded eyes and make the face appear more symmetrical.
Acne Correction
Minimize the Forehead Many clients complain about having a wide forehead that’s not proportionate to their jaw line. My main tip for this is to apply a sparing amount of contour powder one shade darker than the foundation along the hairline to make it recede, making sure to blend into it. This often looks awkward because it’s not blended correctly. Another tip is to simply play up two other strong features to balance things out—the eyes and the lips.

This is an issue many women and men struggle with. No one wants to wear makeup to cover up a “problem” area only to make it look worse. The difficulty for many lies in the proper application. When you have a client with problem skin, the worst thing you can do is pile on makeup to cover up the problem. This usually creates the look of wearing 10 pounds of makeup, which is unflattering and only makes the skin look worse. Instead, try using a very light handed application when it comes to foundation, creating a nice, even skin tone. The next step is to take a full coverage cream concealer (not the liquid
type) in the same tone as the foundation you are applying, and with a small detailing brush correct the acne or bump. Place the full coverage product directly on top and thoroughly blend out the edges to melt seamlessly into the foundation. Follow with a light dusting of translucent powder to seal in your correction. This method will create the most natural looking correction without emphasizing the problem.

First, find your client’s natural crease by gently pressing with your finger. Next, apply shading over the natural crease to “create” a new one. It’s not important to make this a dark line, the placement is what truly matters. Next, apply a highlight color to the center of the lid to create a visual space between the lash line and the crease. Make sure to gently blend the “new” crease line so no hard lines are visible, yet leave enough color to create definition. Apply liner to the bottom lashes to add definition. Finally, curl the lashes and apply a few generous coats of black mascara, as this will help the eye appear more open. Coat the entire lid with a neutral wash of color. A mushroom-like shade works really well. Next, take a darker color—perhaps a medium dark brown shade, and concentrate it as close as possible to the upper lash line, blending upward to create a smoky effect. This creates a “gradient” effect from dark to light that really opens up the eye and diminishes the hooded look. Apply a light wash of the same medium brown shade to the lower lash line, smudging as you go to add definition. Curl the lashes and apply black mascara. With either of these techniques, it’s best to use matte eye shadows, as shimmery ones tend to highlight the puffiness in the skin.
Facial Symmetry This is one of those things that’s constantly overlooked by many makeup artists, simply because they don’t know how to correct it or they don’t examine the client’s face carefully. While it’s rare to find a woman with perfect facial symmetry, it can be very easy to take an asymmetrical face into balanced bliss with the proper placement of highlight and contour. Because each face shape is unique and so are their proper corrective techniques, here are some tips to balance
out a smaller eye and irregular eyebrows. Carefully examine your client’s face to find the asymmetry. Next, match and balance. The match and balance principle is simple: match exactly what you did on one side of the face to the other to balance the face out. Take a good look at the eyes and the eyebrows to correct any imperfections. Usually, one eye is slightly smaller or one eyebrow is higher than the other. If you notice any asymmetry, follow these quick steps to correct it:
smaller eye
The term “hooded eye” refers to a case in which the eyelid is obscured by a fold of skin that hangs down. This can be hereditary or simply the result of aging. Either way, it often gives the illusion of being tired, and many people with this problem find it difficult to apply eye makeup. There are two ways to correct this problem.
To make the eyes appear the same size, highlight the inner rim of the smaller eye with a beige highlighting pencil. Many makeup artists like to use white, but white is stark and outdated. Make sure to match both eyes with the highlighting, but do an extra layer of highlighting pencil on the smaller eye. This will enhance the appearance of the eye by making it slightly bigger. Curl the lashes on both eyes, but do an extra curl on the smaller eye. This will ensure an extra “lift.” Add an additional coat of mascara to the smaller eye. While this will be visually undetectable, it makes a huge difference. Most women have uneven eyebrows. Whether one has more hair or a higher arch, this can be easily corrected.
irregular eyebrows
Open Those Hooded Eyes!
Look at both of your client’s eyebrows, and you will probably see that one looks great. Take your inspiration from that one to correct the other. Simply fill in the “great” eyebrow to the desired shape using a pencil, eyebrow powder or pomade, and then match the other side to create balance. Don’t forget to set your newly corrected eyebrows with clear brow gel to keep them from fading away. Highlight the top of the eyebrows with cream or powder. This creates the illusion of a lifted eyebrow/forehead. Lightly, with a matte highlight powder, illuminate under the eyebrow to define and sculpt.

Highlighting and Contouring Tips ● Invest in cream, liquid highlighters, contours and powders. The creams or liquids are simple to apply with the fingertips, and they’re also easy to wipe off. Powder products are best applied over your client’s foundation, and are very easy to blend. ● Make sure you’re using high quality brushes. The natural hair varieties are great for flawless blending, but are difficult to use with creams or liquids, and extra care must be given when washing. These bristles are usually made from the fur of various animals. The synthetic brushes are amazing for cream, powder and liquid use, and with so many high quality brushes out there, you can achieve the exact (if not better) results as you would with a natural hair makeup brush. Plus, they’re cruelty free! Synthetic bristles are man-made, and are usually either nylon or polyester filaments. The bristles should feel soft, not rough or abrasive. A great quality makeup brush should be made of densely packed bristles, a solid handle made from wood or plastic and a shape that applies and blends makeup effortlessly and evenly. It should apply makeup successfully, meaning the brush shouldn’t absorb all of the makeup, nor should there be an immense amount of product falling out. To test the strength of the bristles, run the brush against your hand to see if any fibers fall out. If they do, don’t buy it.

● The contouring and highlighting techniques only work if they are applied and blended correctly. ● Get to know the contours of your client’s face simply by touching! This is the most effective way to properly apply contours and highlights. ● Remember to always “listen” to your client. While these imperfections could be slight or minor, correcting them can make all the difference in the world for a client who is insecure about her looks. n

This fall, metallic textures are ruling the runways! From eyeliner, eye shadow, nail polish and lipstick, to the glowing halos softly surrounding the face, metallics are a sophisticated and wearable trend. There are currently several contrasting metallic finishes dominating the scene, allowing for creations in variations of glitter, foil and high shine. Intertwining metallics with the right looks creates a perfectly harmonious composition.
ETHEREAL GLOW A major trend that pairs very well with metallic accents is natural, ethereal beauty. The refined glow we saw during spring/summer 2014 is weaving into fall/winter 2014/15 by mixing
in a paler palette set off by pearly highlights, which puts emphasis on the organic beauty of each face. To create this look, start by refining the skin using a creamy product, such as concealer. Applying the product with fingers adds warmth, allowing the concealer to melt into the skin for a fresher looking appearance. Once all imperfections have been concealed, strategically place your desired metallic around the orbital bone, creating a highlight underscoring the brow and a reflection on top of the cheekbone. For a subtle yet high shine metallic, use a refined glitter that reflects gold. When this glitter is buffed into the creamy concealer,

image | the magic of metallics
the edges softly diffuse, leaving a halo effect. The best brush to apply this type of glitter is one with a round ferrule and short, condensed duo fiber hair. The wispy white bristles at the tip apply the glitter delicately, while the dark bristles closer to the ferrule will give it a polished, focused spotlight effect. Complete this elegant look by sparingly hitting the high planes of the face, such as the top of the Cupid’s bow, above the eyebrow, down the bridge of the nose and the center of the forehead. Since this look is minimal, grooming each feature is essential to composing a sleek, modern appearance.
METALLIC REVERSE OMBRÉ Build on the foundation of radiance by incorporating the captivating red lip trend. The reverse ombré lip is a unique play on highlights and contours for the lip, creating a stained and bitten effect using crimsons in the center, with a gradation of color radiating into a deep bronze. To begin, lips must be made void of their natural color by using concealer to create a totally blank canvas. This allows for the full effect of the metallic and chosen lip color. For extra high shine, apply a thin layer of glitter over the concealer to boost the metallic luster. Start with an intense merlot in the very center of the lip using a small, stiff, flat brush. Use a brush with synthetic hair to deliver high impact color, which is needed in the very center, so as to create the illusion of being the deepest part of the lip. Switch to a brighter cranberry lip color as you blend toward the outer portion of the lip, finishing it off with a golden bronze. Line the outer fraction of the lip with a brush that is similar in shape to that of the lips. This helps ensure that the lip line is symmetrical, precise and crisp. To create even more depth on the inner pout, have your client purse her lips, and very lightly tap a black eye shadow or eye liner on almost the very inside of the lip. Use a soft and fluffy blending brush to sweep over the entire lip and establish an even progression of dark to light color. For a softer version of the reverse ombré, choose one deep lip color and switch to a larger, less condensed fluffy brush to apply.

METALLIC WING LINER Each eye is distinctive and should be evaluated before choosing how to put a spin on this classic look. The runways are featuring futuristic shapes reminiscent of all eras, with more added edge. Copper, silver, bronze and gold colors give this trend endless possibility. The objective is to enhance the shape of the eye and push boundaries with technique. To create this slick silvery eyeliner, choose a highly metallic liquid liner. If added shine is needed, press a loose silver eye shadow over the top with an angle brush to reinforce a burst of brightness. This wing flips straight out, so using an angle brush works in short strokes from the outer corner of the eye, slightly tapering off toward the inner corner. Smooth the top of the line for consistency. To create a teardrop shape on the inside crease, placement closer to the bridge of the nose is ideal. This helps frame the shape of the eye for a more cohesive look. Start by drawing a small circle using a small point brush. From there, drag a curved tail following the shape of the eye, giving it a flick of the wrist at the end. To further complement the eye shape, slightly contour the outer crease of the eye with a matte skin tone shade, and place a soft focus highlight under the arch of the brow. Leave the skin bare, with lips slightly glossed. Sparkling metallics make a stunning statement this season and are here to stay. No matter what technique you use, these metallic trends will highlight your talent! n
