Expert Advice by Naomi Andrews

Lip Care 12

OTC Beauty Beauty Magazine Magazine January December 2008 OTC 2015

How to Prevent Dry and Chapped Lips Skin dryness is a serious skin concern among women; be it a dry skin type, a result of cold weather conditions or altitude. However, lips exhibit dryness more extremely than your skin. This is because unlike the skin on other parts of the body, lips are extremely thin and very fragile. In fact, lips are the driest spot on the face and body. While the face is covered with a relatively thick and more protective layer of skin that remains intact and prevents dryness, the lips are virtually naked in comparison and require intensive care and nourishment to remain smooth and moist. Lips have a layer of skin (stratum corneum) like the face, but it is extremely thin and transparent, and barely covers the vulnerable mucous membrane underneath. In fact, the reddish color of lips is because the ultra-thin layer of skin allows the color of the high concentration of blood vessels to come through vividly. In fact, lips turn blue in winter because cold weather conditions or low body temperature cause blood vessels in the lips to shut down and become poorly oxygenated. As a result, the lips look blue. Lips also lack sebaceous glands and have almost no sweat glands. These physiological facts along with extreme climate changes make the lips dry and cause chapping. One thing that comes naturally to all of us is that we lick our lips when they feel dry in a futile attempt to restore moisture. However, this may be even more damaging for dry lips. Licking your lips may make your lips feel better for a few seconds, but when your tongue transfers saliva from your mouth to your lips, it actually eats away and destroys the thin layer of skin covering the lips. This leads to a vicious cycle and the lips become cracked and chapped. How to Treat Dry and Chapped Lips The best way to protect your lips is to keep them covered. Remember, chapped lips are not going to disappear immediately. What you need is a dedicated and diligent routine of treating your lips and restoring the moisture within. Protect Against Sun Damage Sun damage is one of the prime causes of dry lips. The UV rays of the sun can wreak havoc on lips throughout the day, be it a bright sunny day or even if it’s dark and cloudy. Therefore, it’s important to use a well-formulated emollient lip balm, lip gloss or lipstick with an SPF 15 or greater that contains sun protecting ingredients like titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone. Nourish Lips at Night At night, before going to bed, make sure to apply an emollient lip balm or clear thick gloss to lips. However, don’t use lip care products that contain skin irritants such as menthol, camphor, peppermint or citrus, or those that are highly fragranced. These ingredients have no real benefit for the lips and only serve to cause potential problems. Article courtesy of articlesbase.com.

How should you sell it?

This month’s focus is...

Managing Winter Skin! Just as fall, and then winter, brings a variety of changes in the natural world, it’s also a mixed bag for skin. Dr. Joshua L. Fox, MD—founder and medical director of NY and NJ-based Advanced Dermatology PC—shared with us a rundown of some of the changes you and your customers can expect in skin, plus how to manage them.

What are some of the best ways to combat dry skin in the winter?

“Welcome to the dry season. While lower humidity is great for anyone who battles frizzy hair, it means drier skin for everybody. To combat dryness from the inside, stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and keep alcohol and caffeine to a minimum. Adding a humidifier to the rooms where you spend the most time will also add moisture to the air, helping keep your skin from drying out.

I also recommend switching moisturizers; trade in the lotion for a cream or something that

is more emollient. This goes for the skin on your body as well as your face. Use products made with humectants (such as glycerine, sorbitol urea and alpha-hydroxy acids) which attract moisture to your skin. Additionally, look for an oil-based moisturizer for use off of the face. This will create a protective layer to hold that moisture in.”

겨울철 피부 관리! 가을, 겨울철에는 자연계에서 다양한 변화들이 일어나듯이, 우리의 피부도 여러가지로 뒤섞이게 된다. 뉴욕과 뉴저지에 기반을 둔 Advanced Dermatology PC의 설립자이자 원장인 Dr. Joshua L. Fox는 당신과 당신의 고객들이 겪을 수 있는 피부 변화와 또 그것을 관리하는 방법에 관해 의견을 공유하였다.

겨울철 건조한 피부에 대처하는 가장 좋은 방법은 무엇일까?

“건조한 계절에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 낮은 습도는 곱슬머리로 고전하는 사람들에게는 아주 좋지만, 다시 말하면 모든 사람들의 피부를 더욱 건조하게 만든다는 뜻이죠. 내부로부터의 건조함에 대처하기 위해서는, 항상 수분 공급을 해야 합니다. 충분한 양의 물을 마시고 알콜과 카페인 섭취를 최소화해야 합니다. 당신이 대부분의 시간을 보내는 공간에 가습기를 설치하면 공기 중에 수분을 보충하게 되어, 피부가 건조해지는 것을 줄이는데 도움이 될 것입니다.

또한 보습 로션을 바꿔보도록 권장합니다. 피부 연화 기능이 더 많은 크림이나 제품으로 바꿔

보세요. 얼굴 뿐 아니라 바디에도 마찬가지입니다. 습윤제로 만든 제품들(글리세린, 소르비톨 요소, 알파 하이드록시 산과 같은 습윤제)을 사용하면 피부가 수분을 끌어 당깁니다. 또한, 얼굴에 사용할 수 있는 오일 베이스의 보습 로션을 찾아보세요. 이것은 수분을 보유할 수 있도록 보호막을 형성할 것입니다.”

Do you need A

Makeup

Remover

to go with your

Facial

Cleanser? 28

OTC Beauty Magazine January 2015

s if a woman’s skin care routine was not complicated and cluttered enough, now there is the question of whether you need to use a separate eye makeup remover in addition to your facial cleanser. But the truth is, some of the facial cleansers you use may not

be able to remove all eye makeup, especially stubborn waterproof mascara. Removing all that cakey eye makeup is an essential part of a skin care routine.

Facial cleansers are either soap-based (this includes synthetic detergents)

or oil-based. Soap-based cleansers will remove powder-based makeup, but it will leave behind waterproof mascara because it contains water-resistant waxes and polymers. Thus you need a special cleanser to remove waterproof mascara.

If you don’t want to purchase a separate eye makeup remover, you may

consider switching your facial cleanser to an oil-based cleanser. Before you balk at the idea of rubbing oil all over your face, consider the fact oil is an excellent makeup solvent. While soap and water won’t bind to waterproof mascara, oil will dissolve even the toughest mascara—and all other makeup, too. Remember Ponds cold cream; the stuff your grandmother used to use? That is a mineral oil-based cleanser.

However, many fear introducing more oil onto skin. Therefore, you may

be comforted to hear there are products called cleansing oils. For those who are concerned, many cleansing oils do not use mineral oil, but instead use olive, avocado or many other natural oils. You slather the facial cleanser over your face, which will feel a little greasy at first. But then you add water and- voila! Suddenly the cleanser foams! This is due to the emulsifiers that have been added into the mix. The emulsifiers allow the cleanser to be rinsed away cleanly with water. So eye makeup, dirt and grime are removed, and any traces of oil cleanser are rinsed away. How is that for an all-in-one facial cleanser?

Alas, cleansing oils seem to come with a price. But with some searching,

you might find a good cleansing oil to try at a price you’re willing to pay.

If you decide you want to use a separate eye makeup remover, some of the

best products are dual phase eye makeup removers. Some contain oil and others are oil-free. You need to shake the bottle to mix up the two layers. One is an aqueous phase which helps control the pH; the second phase either has oil-based or silicone-based eye makeup removing solvent. Silicone-based ingredients work as the name sounds, by making waterproof mascara (and other makeup) more slippery and thus easier to remove with water. However, nothing beats oil in removing all traces of makeup.

So do you need a separate eye makeup remover? It depends if you don’t

mind washing your face twice. The only facial cleanser that is guaranteed to remove all traces of makeup is an oil-based cleanser. Or if you are worried about harming the delicate skin around the eyes, then you could consider using an eye makeup remover separately. In either case, be sure to remove all makeup as part of your skin care routine. Article courtesy of articlesbase.com.

Knowledge to Know by Jackie Plant

Why exfoliation is an important part of your beauty regime

각질 제거 각질제거가 당신의 미용 관리에서 중요한 이유 Exfoliation is the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin’s outermost surface, or epidermis. It is an important part of both facials and body treatments, and when done correctly, it leaves the skin feeling smoother and fresher looking. It also makes it easier for facial products like serums to penetrate the skin. Many women exfoliate their faces but forget to do the rest of their body. In the summer, when you are getting ready for the beach, you should exfoliate all over, especially before applying self-tanning products or when you are trying to rejuvenate winter-weary skin.

각질 제거는 피부의 가장 외부 표면 혹은 표피에서 오래된 죽은 피부 세포를 제거하는 것이다. 이것은 얼굴과 바디 트리트먼트에서 중요한 부분이며, 적절하게 시행하면, 피 부는 더욱 부드러워지고 신선해 보이게 된다. 또한 세럼과 같은 얼굴용 제품들이 피부 속으로 침투하기 쉽게 만든다. 많은 여성들이 얼굴의 각질을 제거하지만 신체의 나머지 부분에 관해서는 잊고 있다. 여름철, 해변가로 나갈 준비를 할 때, 반드시 전체적으로 각질을 제거해야 한다, 특히 셀프 태닝 제품을 사용하기 전이나 겨울철 지친 피부를 다시 젊어지게하려 고 할 때는 더욱 더 그러하다.

Why is exfoliation an important part of your beauty regime? The skin is constantly renewing itself and generating new skin cells at the lower layer – the dermis. These get sent to the surface – the epidermis. As the cells rise to the surface they gradually die and become filled with keratin. These keratinized skin cells are essential because they give our skin its protection. But they are constantly shedding to make way for younger cells. As we age this process of cell turnover slows down and cells start to pile

왜 각질제거가 당신의 미용 관리에 있어 중요한가? 피부는 지속적으로 스스로를 새롭게 만들고 하층 -진피층에서 새로운 피부 세포를 생 성한다. 이것을 표면으로 올려보내는 것이다 –표피층. 세포가 표면으로 올라오면 그 들은 점점 죽어가면서 케라틴으로 가득차게 된다. 이러한 각하 피부 세포는 우리의 피 부를 보호하는 역할을 하므로 필수적이다. 그러나 이것은 어린 세포들을 위한 길을 만 들기 위해 지속적으로 벗겨지고 있다. 나이가 들면서 이 세포 회전율은 느려지고 세포는 피부 표면에 고르지 않

up unevenly on the skin’s surface. This is what gives your skin a dry, rough, dull appearance. Exfoliation removes those cells that are clinging on and dulling your skin to reveal fresher, younger skin cells below.

게 쌓이기 시작한다. 이것이 바로 당신의 피부를 건조하고, 거칠고 탁하게 만드는 것 이다. 각질 제거는 피부에 달라붙어 탁하게 만드는 이런 세포들을 제거하여 아래 쪽 에 있는 더욱 신선하고 젊은 피부 세포를 드러나게 하는 것이다.

How to exfoliate Body: before stepping into the shower, brush your dry skin with your body brush or exfoliating gloves. This will help remove the loose skin and prepare your skin for the exfoliating process. Get into the shower and make sure you are wet from head toe. Use a pumice stone on your feet to eliminate rough spots and calluses, and then apply your exfoliating cleanser to your body brush and scrub your body in a circular motion – working your way up from your feet. Rinse your body with lukewarm water, and follow with the coldest water you can stand. Once out of the shower and dry, apply a moisturizing body lotion all over. Exfoliation is drying to the skin, so you must keep your skin hydrated.

각질 제거 방법 바디: 샤워를 시작하기 전에, 바디 브러시나 각질 제거 장갑으로 마른 상태의 피부를 브러시한다. 이것은 피부를 느슨하게 만드는, 각질 제거를 실행하기 위한 준비이다. 샤워를 간단히 해서 머리부터 발끝까지 몸 전체를 적셔라. 발의 거친 부분이나 굳은 살을 제거하는데는 속돌을 사용해라, 그런 다음 바디 브러시에 각질 제거 클렌저를 묻혀서 몸 전체를 원을 그리며 문지른다 – 발부터 위로 점차적으로 올라온다. 미지근 한 물로 씻어낸 다음, 견딜 수 있을만큼의 차가운 물로 헹군다. 샤워를 마치고 몸을 말린 후, 수분 공급 바디 로션을 골고루 바른다. 각질 제거는 피부를 건조하게 만들 기 때문에. 반드시 피부에 수분을 공급해 주여야 한다.

Face: Wet your face and apply your exfoliating cleanser. Rub gently into the skin, avoiding the eye area and then wash off gently with lukewarm water. Apply your favorite serum and moisturizer.

얼굴: 얼굴을 적당히 물로 적신 후, 각질 제거 클렌저를 바른다. 부드럽게 피부를 문 지르는데, 이 때 눈 주위는 피해야 하며 미지근한 물로 부드럽게 씻어낸다. 즐겨쓰는 세럼과 로션을 바른다.

Things to note about exfoliation • Don’t exfoliate your skin if you are sunburned or have any open cuts or wounds. It is possible to over exfoliate, especially on the delicate skin of the face, so only do it once or twice a week. People with oily skin should exfoliate more often than those with dry skin. • Be especially careful with the delicate area around your eyes. • Never use a body scrub on your face – it will be much too harsh.

각질 제거에 관해 주의해야 할 것들 • 햇볕에 탔거나 피부에 상처가 아직 열려있다면 각질 제거를 하지 말아야 한 다. 지나치게 각질이 제거될 수 있으며, 특히 민감한 얼굴 피부에서는 더욱 그렇다. 그러니 주 1-2회 정도만 각질 제거를 해라. 지성 피부의 경우 건성 피부보다는 좀 더 자주 각질을 제거해야 한다. • 눈 주위의 민감한 부분은 특히 주의를 기울여라. • 바디 스크럽은 절대 얼굴에 사용하지 말아라 – 너무 독할 수가 있다.

Urban Call Briefs Dr. Mae Jemison, Ph.D. Mae C. Jemison is the first African-American female astronaut. In 1992, she flew into space aboard the Endeavour, becoming the first African-American woman in space. Mae C. Jemison was born on October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Ala. On June 4, 1987 she became the first African-American woman to be admitted into the astronaut training program. On September 12, 1992 Jemison finally flew into space with six other astronauts aboard the Endeavour on mission STS47, becoming the first African-American woman in space. In recognition of her accomplishments, Jemison has received several awards and honorary doctorates. Astronaut and physician Mae Jemison was born on October 17, 1956 in Decatur, Ala., the youngest child of Charlie Jemison, a roofer and carpenter, and Dorothy (Green) Jemison, an elementary school teacher. Her sister, Ada Jemison Bullock, became a child psychiatrist and her brother, Charles Jemison, is a real estate broker. The family moved to Chicago, Ill., when Jemison was 3 years old to take advantage of better educational opportunities there, and it is that city that she calls her hometown. Throughout her early school years, Jemison’s parents were supportive and encouraging of her talents and abilities, and she spent a considerable amount of time in her school library reading about all aspects of science, especially astronomy. During her time at Morgan Park High School, she became convinced she wanted to pursue a career in biomedical engineering, and when she graduated in 1973 as a consistent honor student, she entered Stanford University on a National Achievement Scholarship. As she had been in high school, Jemison was very involved in extracurricular activities at Stanford, including dance and theater productions, and served as head of the Black Student Union. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from the university in 1977. Upon graduation, she entered Cornell University Medical College and, during her years there, found time to expand her horizons by studying in Cuba and Kenya and working at a Cambodian refugee camp in Thailand. After she obtained her M.D. in 1981 Jemison interned at Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Medical Center and later worked as a general practitioner. For the next two and a half years, she was the area Peace Corps medical officer for Sierra Leone and Liberia where she also taught and did medical research. Following her return to the United States in 1985, Jemison made a career change and decided to follow a dream she had nurtured for a long time. In October of that year, she applied for admission to NASA’s astronaut training program. The Challenger disaster of January 1986 delayed the selection process, but when she reapplied a year later, Jemison was one of the 15 candidates chosen from a field of about 2,000. When Jemison was chosen on June 4, 1987 she became the first African-American woman to be admitted into the astronaut training program. After more than a year of training, she became the first African-American female astronaut, earning the title of science mission specialist—a job that would make her responsible for conducting crew-related scientific experiments on the space shuttle. When Jemison finally flew into space on September 12, 1992 with six other astronauts aboard the Endeavour on mission STS47, she became the first African-American woman in space. During her eight days in space, she conducted experiments on weightlessness and motion sickness on the crew and herself. In all, she spent more than 190 hours in space before returning to Earth on September 20, 1992. Following her historic flight, Jemison noted that society should recognize how much both women and members of other minority groups can contribute if given the opportunity. In recognition of her accomplishments, Jemison received a number of accolades, including several honorary doctorates, the 1988 Essence Science and Technology Award, the Ebony Black Achievement Award in 1992 and 44

Strategies to Ensure Family Business Success

Tips for Avoiding Common Problems 가족 비즈니스의 성공 보장을 위한 5 가지 전략 일반적인 문제를 방지하는 방법들

Non-family businesses can learn a lot from family businesses, which outperformed them during the boom years leading up to the 2008 recession, and during the 2001 and 2008 recession years. Family businesses were less likely to lay off workers during the lean times, and more likely to maintain their emphasis on socially responsible programs, according to a study by the Harvard Business Review. But that’s just the businesses that survived. Many closed their doors. With 25 years of business management and family business consulting experience, I’ve seen the patterns that can lead to major problems. And they’re almost always preventable. The quality that enables family businesses to rise to the top—trust—is also the one that can destroy them. Family members can potentially trust one another far more than non-family members, but if that erodes—because a family member can’t or won’t perform at the necessary level; when there’s a sense of entitlement; laziness—it can have serious, business-killing consequences. If the business is professionalized, there will be a way to deal with those issues.

비 가족 기업은 2001년과 2008년 경기 침체기 동안, 그리고 2008년 경기 침체의 붐으로 이어지는 시기에 오히려 더 나은 결과를 만들어 낸 가족 기업으로부터 많은 것을 배울 수 있다.

하버드 경제 리뷰에 따르면, 가족 기업은 힘든 시기에 직원들의

해고율이 낮고, 사회적 책임을 갖는 프로그램에도 주력하는 경향을 보인다. 그러나, 그것은 단지 살아남은 기업들이다. 많은 기업들이 문을 닫았다. 25년 동안의 비즈니스 관리와 가족 비즈니스 컨설팅 경험으로, 나는 큰 문제를 야기할 수 있는 패턴을 보아왔다. 그리고 그것은 거의 항상 예방할 수 있는 것들이었다.

가족 기업을 정상의 자리로 성장시킬 수 있는 ‘자질과 신뢰’는 그들을

파괴하는 요인이 되기도 한다. 가족 구성원들은 비 가족 구성원들보다 잠재적으로 서로를 더 신뢰할 수 있다, 그러나 만일 그것이 약화된다면 어떻게 될까? – 가족 구성원들이 필요한 수준에서 스스로의 역할을 수행하지 않거나 수행할 수 없기 때문에, 자격에 대해 얘기할 때, 또는 게으름 등은 심각하게 비즈니스를 죽이는 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 비즈니스가 전문화된 경우, 이런 문제에 대처하는 방법이 있다.

These are five of the top safeguards I suggest all family businesses put in place: • Keep the lines of communication open. Schedule regular family meetings to discuss issues of concern and topics such as business transition, business performance and responsibilities. Include all of the family members, no matter where in the hierarchy their jobs fall—exclusion creates animosity. Create a family manual that lays out the ground rules for how the meetings will take place to ensure everyone gets a chance to be heard and impediments to communication are left at the door. • Assign clear roles and responsibilities. As a family member, it’s natural to feel that everything is “my” business. However, not everything is every 48

OTC Beauty Magazine January 2015

여기서 제안하는 5가지 최상의 보호장치를 모든 가족 비즈니스에 적용해야 할 것이다:

• 열린 의사 소통 라인을 유지해라. 정기적인 가족 미팅을 갖고 사업 전환이나 성과 및 책임과 같은 주제에 대해 논의해라. 계급이나 서열에 상관없이 모든 가족 구성원들을 포함시켜라 – 배제시키는 것은 적대감을 생성한다. 모든 참여자들이 의사 소통의 장애물 없이 들을 기회를 보장받을 수 있도록 미팅이 어떻게 이뤄질지에 관한 기본 규칙을 제시하는 가족 매뉴얼을 작성해라. • 명확한 역할과 책임을 할당해라. 가족 구성원으로서, 모든 것이 “ 나의”

사업이라는 느낌을 갖는 것은 당연하다. 그러나, 모든 것이 전 가족 구성원의 책임은 아니다. 업무의 정의는 모든 사람들이 같은 문제를 붙들고 힘겹게

family member’s responsibility. Job definitions prevent everyone from jumping in to tackle the same problem, and help ensure the business runs smoothly.

씨름하는 것을 방지할 수 있으며, 비즈니스가 원할하게 실행될 수 있도록

• Keep good financial data. The downfall of many small businesses and family businesses is not having solid data. Have a single point of contact to manage the finances. If you’re small enough, you can rely on a family member. Otherwise, you’ll need to bring in a qualified accountant. You may cringe at the cost for this, but the difference between a good accountant and a bad one is the difference between knowing exactly where you are on the road and trying to drive with a mud-covered windshield.

견고한 데이터를 갖고 있지 않아서다. 재정을 관리할 수 있는 단일 창구을

• Avoid overpaying family members. Market-based compensation is fundamental and essential. Parents in family businesses tend to overpay the next generation, or pay everyone equally despite differing levels of responsibility. Both are bad practices. The longer unfair compensation practices continue, the messier it will be to clean up when it blows up.

기본적이고도 필수적이다. 가족 기업의 부모는 아래 세대에게 초과 지불하는

• Don’t hire relatives if they’re unqualified. Competence is key. Family businesses are a conundrum: The family aspect generates unqualified love, while the business side cares about profits. Thus, family members will be hired to provide them with a job, even though they’re not qualified. The remedy is to get them trained, move them to a role that matches their skills, or have them leave.

수수께끼와도 같다. 비즈니스가 이윤적인 측면에 관심을 갖는 반면, 가족은

More than 70 percent of all businesses are family businesses—they account for a significant number of new jobs and a large portion of the GDP (gross domestic product). But that’s not the only reason they’re so important. They’re motivated by profits, but also by other important considerations: pride in the family name, building something for future generations, philanthropy. For those reasons, they contribute in tremendous ways to social stability. They make our communities better.

모든 기업의 70 % 이상이 가족 기업이다. - 그들은 새로운 일자리의

돕는다.

• 좋은 재무 데이터를 유지해라. 많은 중소 기업 및 가족 기업이 몰락하는 것은 보유해라. 만일 당신의 비즈니스가 소규모라면, 가족 구성원에게 의존할 수가 있다. 그렇지 않다면, 자격을 갖춘 회계사를 고용해야 할 것이다. 이에 대한 비용에 멈칫할 수도 있겠지만, 좋은 회계사와 그렇지 않은 회계사의 차이는 당신이 가고 있는 길을 정확히 알고 있는 것과 앞 유리에 진흙이 잔뜩 덮인 채로 운전하려는 것의 차이이다.

• 가족 구성원에게 초과 지불하지 말아라. 시장에 기반을 둔 적절한 보상이 경향이 있거나, 책임의 정도 차이에도 불구하고, 모든 사람에게 동등하게 지불하는 경향이 있다. 이 두 가지 모두 좋지 못한 관행이다. 부당한 보상의 관행이 길어질수록, 깔끔하게 정리하기에는 너무 지저분해지게 된다.

• 자질을 갖추지 않은 친척은 고용하지 말아라. 역량은 핵심이다. 가족 비즈니스는 자격이 없는 사랑을 생성한다. 따라서, 가족 구성원들은, 비록 그들이 자질을 충분히 갖추지 못했더라도 그들에게 일자리를 제공하게 될 것이다. 방법은 그들을 훈련시키고 그들의 능력에 맞는 역할로 보내거나, 그게 안된다면 떠나게 해야 한다.

hether in the workplace, on the football field, or even amongst members of a community, effective teamwork can produce incredible results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise.

to create and maintain a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of morale and make them feel supported and valued. Clear communication: Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal interaction and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other’s viewpoints. Establishing roles: It is absolutely necessary for team members to understand what their role on the team is, and what he or she is responsible for. The team leader can enable this by defining the purpose in a clear-cut manner in the beginning of the formation of the team. Conflict Resolution: Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to counter conflict is to have structured methods of conflict resolution. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands-on approach that resolves them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible. Set a good example: The team leader must set a good example for good teamwork to come about. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader herself/himself needs to exhibit these qualities. The team looks to the leader for support and guidance so any negativity on the leader’s part can be disastrous. Regardless of what type of sales you are in, you may one day be asked to be part of a team sales effort, and knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be crucial to your success and that of your team.

King of Locs by Cyrus Jackson

How will Manufacturers and Beauty Supply Stores be Affected by Cosmetic Regulations? Manufacturers and distributors are now having to analyze their business on a different scale due to new cosmetic regulations. The Food and Drug Administration have made it the manufacturer’s responsibility to meet certain regulations in order to create or keep products in the market. If they do not meet the regulation guidelines, both the manufacturer and the distributor could see a potential decline in sales and/or halt in their business. The main purpose of the new regulations is to ensure the consumer’s health is protected to a higher standard and that customers are better informed and aware of all important information about a product they are intending to use. It will also allow for easy traceability of cosmetic products and its ingredients, the way they are presented to the customers and how they actually get introduced into the market for consumers who buy and use the product. There have been several incidents where cosmetic products have left consumers unsatisfied, which have led to discontinued products. For this reason, manufacturers are employing a significant amount of chemists, toxicologists and environmental scientists to do research and evaluate the safety of their products before they are sold in the market. According to The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, cosmetics are defined as “articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body…for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance” (FD & C Act, sec. 201(i)). Examples of cosmetics are skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polishes, makeup, shampoos, hair colors and deodorants to name a few. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) responsibility is to conduct research on cosmetic products and ingredients to make sure they are safe and legal before they are sold. This research allows them the right to address safety concerns and provide information to support regulatory guidelines and actions. The regulations will add additional duties for the manufacturers to ensure they are keeping

human health their number one responsibility. They are required to do the following: • • • •

Make a product information file accessible to the competent public authorities Ensure product traceability by keeping records on the supply chain Take measures to ensure a product is compliant Withdraw a product from the market or recall it to the manufacturing company in case of non-compliance.

If cosmetic products do not comply within the regulation guidelines, distributors will have to halt distribution until the requirements are met or possibly be forced to stop buying the products all together. Either decision will largely impact the manufacturer’s business because the sales for that product would decrease or completely stop, and they would have to spend more money to change key components of the product to make sure all requirements are met. It could also potentially increase cost for cosmetic manufacturers and consumers while reducing the competition in the US cosmetic companies. The FDA can prevent further shipment of a product by taking some of the following actions such as: requesting a federal court to issue an injunction, request U.S. marshals seize the products, or request that a company recall a product. Ultimately, the new regulations force business partners to analyze existing and future agreements with the consumer’s safety as their number one concern. The consequences of violating regulation guidelines have resulted in manufacturers going above and beyond making sure ingredients, processing, packaging, shipping and handling meet the requirements and offer the advertised claims for intended use.

RELAXATiON 18 Ways to De-Stress

Stress is often

seen as a negative effect on the body, but it is very essential to life. It is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fight or flightâ&#x20AC;? system that is naturally part of our survival system. Stress is bad when it overwhelmingly impacts our health equilibrium. Everyone deals with stress, in one way or another. It is associated with higher levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Accumulated unmanaged stress can lead to major physical and psychological illness, including depression, overeating, excessive sleep, and irritability. While it is impossible to avoid stress completely, it is possible to manage your stress. Here are a few ways: January 2015 OTC Beauty Magazine

Feature 1. Get a massage. Massage has been shown to be effective in reducing mental and physical stress. In one study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, massage helped lessen stress and pain in patients who have chronic pain. Another study in the Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing suggested that 15 minute massages helped reduce the psychological stress of their test subjects. Massage lowers the level of cortisol and increases the levels of serotonin and dopamine. 2. Go for a walk. Going for a walk can clear your mind and keep your body healthy. Walking helps increase your endorphins which can give you a euphoric feeling and it reduces the levels of cortisol. It will give you a boost of energy while reducing your fatigue. On top of that, simply being outside also helps reduce stress and helps increase memory and attention span. 3. Stress relief with a pet. Studies have shown that pet therapy helps reduce anxiety and stress for many people. One study showed that it helped students during exam times. Another study showed that patients experienced a 37% deduction in anxiety if they spend time with animals before their medical operations. Having an animal around distracts them from their worries. Stress relief pets lowers blood pressure and cortisol. 4. Drink tea. Green tea lowers your blood pressure and is full of antioxidants that are beneficial for your health. In one study, black tea helped lower cortisol and reduced stress after six weeks of drinking tea more so than subjects who were drinking placebo drinks. 5. Get proper sleep. A study in children showed that disruptive sleep shows a higher level of cortisol. By having a restful and high

quality sleep and undisruptive naps, one’s cortisol levels will decrease. 6. Work out. Hit the gym or go for a run. This allows your body and mind to focus on something that is healthy for your well-being. While it distracts you from the cause of your stress, it also increases your endorphins and decreases your levels of cortisol. Endorphins are the natural “feel good” hormone that is released when you exercise. The more aerobic your workout is, the more endorphins your body releases. 7. Breathing exercises. By taking deep, slow breaths, your blood pressure and heart rate also slows down, which counteracts the effects of stress. This also allows you to relax and clear your mind and is largely used in meditation. It has been shown to reduce anxiety and help folks with depression. 8. Use guided visualizations. This is a technique that many people use to relax, control their stress, and help them achieve their goals. Guided visualization allows people to imagine and consciously think about certain issues and helps people get in touch with their intuition. This usually leads to feeling refreshed and has helped many attain a higher self-esteem. 9. Aromatherapy. Certain plant oils have been found to relieve nervous tension or anxiety. The scents of certain plants, such as lavender, can ease stress and relax us. Aromatherapy is often used with massages, meditations, and hot baths. It is a wonderful calming experience for those who have tried it. 10. Turn your phone off. Your smartphone allows you to access the rest of the world.

This will allow stress to come to you if you see certain things happening in your close circle online or in the world. By turning off your phone, you shut the external stress out and it allows you to focus on yourself and your immediate surroundings. Escaping technology can be a very relaxing experience that everyone should try, whether it’s during the weekend or during vacation. 11. Meditate. Meditation has been used for thousands of years to help find your inner self and has sometimes been used as part of religious purposes. It is an inexpensive technique used to release your stress and allows you to clear your mind and find tranquility. Pairing it up with breathing exercises can further lower your heart rate and blood pressure. 12. Enjoy a hot bath. A hot bath can help relieve tension on your muscles, lessen pain on your body, and provide a comfortable environment that surrounds your body. It also promotes blood circulation and calms the nervous system. Water can be infused with minerals and other products such as Dead Sea salt or oil for an aroma and soothing feeling. 13. Yoga. Yoga is an excellent weight and stress management tool. It helps your balance, flexibility and strengthens your core. Studies have shown that yoga reduces anxiety and stress. While yoga should not completely replace pharmacological medication to help with anxiety and stress, it is a highly recommended supplement. Yoga originated in India and has been around for more than 5,000 years. It also helps with bronchitis, chronic pain, and some symptoms of menopause. 14. Listen to music. Certain music gets people in certain moods or thoughts. A study has shown that post-surgery patients who

listened to music had lower stress levels than those who did not listen to music. Another study showed that people from different cultural backgrounds preferred different types of music for pain and stress relief. While everyone’s preference is different, find music that is soothing for you. 15. Laugh. Going to a comedy show or watching a funny movie will help manage your stress. One study showed that there are lower levels of the salivary endocrinological stress marker Chromogranin A (CgA) in those who watched a humorous movie. Along with less stress, these subjects also reported a feeling of being uplifted and fulfilled. 16. Try a craft. Finding a hobby and keep your hands busy will distract your mind from stressors. Studies have shown that doing a craft enhances relaxation, especially for children and seniors. It is used quite often as a therapeutic healing method. Crafting is helpful because it allows you to express yourself in an artistic way. 17. Write down your thoughts. Keeping a journal or diary of your thoughts and activities allows you to express yourself and your feelings, as well as reflect on your choices. Your journal is also a place for you to let your emotions out that you wouldn’t let out otherwise. One of the best parts of journaling is that you can write down negative emotions so that you move on with positive ones. 18. Avoid caffeine. Try to avoid coffee, energy drinks and other drinks that are heavy in caffeine. Caffeine increases catecholamines and cortisol, which are both stress hormones, while increasing dopamine for a quick “feel good” response that will wear off quickly and make you feel low. Try drinking green tea instead. Takeaway Point: Stress is needed for survival, but it is important to control your stress. If left unmanaged, it can build up and cause psychological and physical harm. Stress works differently for everyone; therefore, how one manages their stress may not necessarily work as well for another. It is good to explore different paths to handle your stress.

간의 안정적인 헤어 도매상 생활을 마치고, 첫 번째 도전으 로 뉴욕에 $2,500 Sq ft 의 뷰티 서플라이 스토어를 차렸다 고 한다. 관련 업종이라고는 하지만, 직장생활을 했던 것 과 는 판이하게 다른 본인 스토어 경영을 하면서 많은 시행착오 를 거쳤다고 한다. “소매는 처음 시작하였기 때문에 스토어 를 어느 정도 궤도에 올리기 까지 많은 노력을 했어야만 했 습니다. 그리고 정신적으로도 여유가 별로 없는 생활들이 이 어져 갔습니다” 라는 한사장은, 그렇지만 좀더 빨리 결정을 내리고 시작하지 못한 것이 못내 아쉽다고 하였다. 한 직장 에서 오랫동안 근무를 하다 보면, 어느 정도 직책에 오르기 도 하고, 그러다 보면 직장 생활에 익숙해져 그 생활에 안주 하기 쉽다. 하지만 한사장은 “조금이라도 빨리 부딪혀 봐야 발전할 수 있습니다. 지난 삶을 돌아보자면, 좀더 일찍 제 사 업을 시작하지 못한 것에 대한 후회가 조금은 있습니다” 라 며 ‘도전’ 했기에 성장할 수 있었던 자신의 경험을 비추었다. 그 후로 8년간 스토어를 운영하면서 소매경영에 매진한 한 사장은 “대도시는 굉장히 바쁜 삶을 살아야 합니다. 경제적 여유가 조금 생겼을지 모르지만 정신적인 여유가 없었습니 다” 라는 생각을 갖고, 작년 초에 또 다른 ‘도전’을 결심하게 되었다고 한다. “오랫동안 가족과 같이 지내온 친한 후배가 North Carolina 에서 뷰티 서플라이 스토어를 오래 전부터 운영해오고 있었 습니다. 그래서 North Carolina를 몇 번 방문하다 보니 또 다 른 가능성을 엿보게 되었습니다”. 한사장은 가족들과 고민한 끝에 8년동안 경영해온 스토어를 매각하고 North Carolina 를 향해 전혀 다른 삶을 살아보기로 결정하였다고 한다. 그 주된 이유는, 정신적으로 좀더 여유로운 생활과, 독실한 기 독교인인 한사장이 종교적 활동을 좀더 여유 있게 하기 위함 이라고 한다. “모든 지인들과, 익숙한 생활 환경을 뒤로하는 것이었지만, 겁날 것은 없었습니다” 라는 한사장은, 작년 5 월에 부인과 함께 뉴욕에서의 삶을 접고 새로운 터전으로 이 사를 하였다고 한다. 또 다른 ‘도전’의 시작인 것이다. 아직 1

년도 안되어 낯선 환경들이 많지만, 이곳에 이사온 뒤로 정신 적으로 많은 여유가 생겼다며, 새로운 결정에 아주 만족스럽 게 생각하고 있다고 한다. 미국 내에서이지만, 타주로의 이사 는 흡사 다른 나라로 이주하는 것과 다를 것이 없기 때문에, 타의에 의해서가 아니라 본인의 의사로 이주 결정을 내린다 는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니었을 것이다. 하지만 한사장은 과감히 결정을 내리고 강행하여 지금은 훨씬 여유로운 삶을 살고 있 다며 만족해하고 있다. “이전의 스토어와 지금의 스토어는 환경이 판이하게 다릅니 다” 라는 한사장은, 뉴욕에서는 관광객도 있고, 걸어 다니는 손님들도 있어 항상 스토어에 사람들이 들락날락 거리는 것 이 보통의 모습이며, 장소도 협소하여 높은 셀브와 조금이라 도 공간이 생기면 제품을 진열해야 하는 빡빡함이 있다고 한 다. 하지만 여기서는 10,000 sq ft 의 여유로운 공간 덕분에 높이도 적당한 쉘브와 넉넉한 진열공간을 만들어가며 스토어 를 꾸밀 수 있어 고객들에게도 훨씬 쾌적한 쇼핑 환경을 만들 어 줄 수 있다고 한다. 스토어를 들어오는 손님들의 성향도 판 이하게 다르다고 한다. “이전 스토어에서는 손님들이 조금만 맘에 안드는 일이 생기면 욕부터 하며 상당히 공격적이었는 데, 이곳의 손님들은 매우 차분하고 공손하여 손님들에 대한 스트레스가 훨씬 덜합니다. 그러다 보니 저도 손님들에게 좀 더 친절하게 대하게 되는 것 같습니다”. 이는 비단 스토어에 만 국한된 것이 아니라고 한다. 생활에서도 시간적 정신적 여 유가 더 생기다 보니, 가족들이나 지인들을 생각하는 시간이 더 많아졌다며, 비록 거리상으로는 더 먼 곳에 와있지만 더욱 돈독해 지게 되었다고 한다. 지난달 뉴욕을 일주일간 다녀 왔 는데, “오랜만에 만난 지인들이 얼굴이 너무 좋아졌다고 합 니다. 저의 생활상이 얼굴에도 나타나나 봅니다” 라고 한다. New Hope Beauty Supply 는 여느 스토어들과는 다른 형태

OTC Beauty Magazine January 2015

로 운영되고 있다. 간단히 말하자면, New Hope Beauty Supply 를 포함한 다른 여러 개의 스토어를 3명의 사장이 파트너 십으로 운영하고 있는 형태라 한다. “공동으로 운영을 한다 는 데에는 많은 장점들이 있습니다. 혼자서 경영을 하게 되 면, 경영상 관리가 잘 안 되는 부분을 간과하게 되거나, 본인 도 알면서 관리가 안 되는 부분도 있습니다. 즉, 한쪽이 곪아 가는 것을 모르는 경우가 생길 수 있습니다. 하지만 이를 파 트너들과 함께 오픈하고, 공유하게 되면, 그러한 요소를 서로 상쇄시켜줄 수 있는 것입니다. 그러한 경영상 위험요소들을 제거해 나가다 보면, 어떠한 위험이 와도 자생적으로 대처할 수 있는 능력이 생겨나게 되는 것입니다”. 사실 파트너십 이 라는 것이 말처럼 쉬운 일은 아니다. 이론상으로는 이상적인 경영 방식일 수 있지만, 현실에서는 매우 어려운 일이 아닐 수 없다. 하지만 한사장은, “간단합니다. 욕심을 버리고 공동을 먼저 생각하면 됩니다” 라며 아무렇지 않게 답을 하였다. 참 으로 간단하기는 하다. 하지만 이를 실천할 수 있는 사람들이 몇이나 있을까? 인터뷰 내내 편안한 얼굴을 하고 있던 한사장은 뷰티 업계에 당부의 말을 부탁한 필자에게 “저는 도매상에서부터 소매업 까지 모두 경험이 있는 사람으로서 말씀 드리는데, 우리 업종 에 종사하는 사람들이 정말 잘 해나가고 있다고 말씀 드리고 싶습니다. 제품에 대한 개발을 꾸준히 해오는 것도 그렇고, 열 심히 소매업을 경영하시는 분들도 그렇습니다. 다만, 약간의 욕심만 자제 한다면 우리의 앞날이 밝을 것으로 예상됩니다” 라고 하였다. 오랫동안 업계의 미래에 대해 부정적인 말을 들 어온 터라 한사장의 말이 반갑지 않을 수 없었다. “요즘은 스 트레스를 받는 일이 거의 없습니다” 라는 한사장의 말이 진심 으로 느껴진다. 많은 뷰티인들이 한사장과 같이 스트레스 없 이 사는 날이 빨리 오길 기대해 본다.

CLIPPER TIPS Which Tool Is Right For The Job? Sponsored by Andis Co.

Part 3 of 3

In my previous two articles, I spoke about the Master® and Envy™, two high-performing adjustable blade clippers. This month, I’m going to switch it up and highlight the detachable blade clipper design—a must-have for every clipper cutter. The key feature of a detachable blade clipper is that varying cut lengths are achieved with interchangeable blade sets that install in seconds. For example, want to go skin bald? Use a size 0000 blade. Need a ¼” cut length? Simply pop on a size 2 blade. Using attachment combs is unnecessary. For anyone looking to invest in his or her first detachable blade clipper, I recommend the Andis Excel Ultra™ detachable blade clipper. This sleek, lightweight clipper features a comfortable, ergonomic housing and a stronger blade drive. A rotary motor handles heavy-duty cutting and stays cool and quiet while a swivel cord reduces tangling. The Excel Ultra is also a great value to the budget-conscious clipper cutter. Compared to other clippers in the Andis detachable line, the Excel Ultra is similar in cutting power, comfort and durability, but comes at a more affordable price point since it is a single-speed tool. It’s also a great buy because it comes equipped with two popular UltraEdge™ blade sizes—a size 000 and size 1. It works with all Andis UltraEdge™, Andis CeramicEdge™ and Oster 76 blades. Just like the Andis Master, Andis MVP and Envy, the Excel Ultra is made in the USA, which means it will deliver years of service and replacement parts will be readily available should you ever need them. For the hands-on clipper cutter who performs self-maintenance to ensure a long lasting, smooth-running tool, the internal parts of the Excel Ultra are straightforward. When I disassembled mine, I was pleased to see that all the parts were well-designed and accessible should I need to service them down the road. You can see the Excel Ultra clipper in action in two of the American Legacy Collection Series 2 videos from Andis: the “Asymmetrical Stacked Bob” and the “Pompadour.” Watch them at www.andis.com/GetTheLook.

Therapy Trends

2015 Basic Brown Beauty Future trends toward minimalist makeup and muted hair tones seem smooth and chic. Hair shades are not less dramatic—the Ombre patterns have become Sombre—dual tones but with less contrast. Radical reds, purples, greens and blues will be popular. Yet they will be more pastel shades of reds, purples, greens and blues. Makeup shades will be just as blaring, but the basic canvas will soft and natural. A popular palette for trendy runways is an all-beige, brown range of shades for lips, eyes and brows. What’s so amazing is that these toned down yet extreme shades will be worn by OTC clients of all hues and ages. Have these subtle shade palettes emanated as a retreat from bold shades? Or is the sun-kissed concept the result of Brazil’s fashion leadership in hair and skin care?

Brazil is the No. 3 market in the world for beauty and

personal care products. It follows the global leaders of the United States and Japan. This country splashes beauty each year with its spectacular Carnival—a rival to the Paris runways for shade and fashion inspiration. Many of the New Year’s trends will feature tawny shade ranges. As well, the variety of natural nut and seed ingredients will be heralding from the Latin and South American shores. The blow-out keratin craze and murumuru butter will samba their way into the beauty world. Treatment products and regimens for hair and skin may be sharp this year in contrast to the subtle shades and shapes of beauty.

Elayne McClaine has identified and developed emerging domestic and global trends in hair care, skin care and other consumer categories for such firms as Chesebrough-Pond’s, Revlon and Pharmacia (div. of Pfizer). Her expertise in therapeutic treatments for hair, skin and scalp led to the creation of the Women’s Institute for Fine and Thinning Hair, sponsored by Rogaine.

“Thought Leadership” Exactly what is this new term? Well, thought leaders are the informed opinion leaders and the go-to people in their field of expertise. They are trusted sources who move and inspire people with innovative ideas, turn ideas into reality, and know and show how to replicate their success. As a beauty supply owner it is critical to connect with successful beauty supply experts, distributors, and your most valued customers to stay ahead of the curve and anticipate their needs along with the changes you must make to remain profitable. Identify thought leaders in your organization and prepare for change in your marketing strategy.

Check out these Marketing Strategies for 2015: 1. Marketing is now company-wide In the past, sales and marketing have operated as two separate entities, only crossing paths when necessary. One company, one message; marketing isn’t one person or one department’s job—it’s everybody’s. Let the left hand know what the right hand is planning then implement as one unit. 2. Content is still king; make it relevant! The next level of ‘smart content’ is mapping your brand’s creative material directly to your buying funnel and targeting the different segments to see which one converts at the highest rate of return. In other words, promote your hot selling items on your web/mobile platforms. 3. Customer experience over a sales pitch Great marketing no longer feels like marketing. You must focus on offering value, making a connection and providing over the top customer service. Your mission is to create a genuine relationship with your customers 4. More human conversation, less corporate jargon Keep it real! Digital marketing must place focus on speaking to customers in terms of what they are: HUMANS. Skip the corporate sales pitch. As brands open up to customers and become more human, they’ll develop more real connections and the beginnings of a loyal customer base. 5. Become mobile ready or get left behind It’s a changing world, and beauty supply businesses absolutely need to focus on ways they can give their marketing efforts a mobile component.

Cosmoprof Asia

Cosmoprof Asia 2014, which was held on November 12-14 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, attracted close to 60,000 visitors from all over the world. China, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Japan were the top 5 Asian sources of visitors outside of Hong Kong. International attendees accounted for 64% of the total attendance with 38,059 visitors (up 1.3% compared to 2013) from 93 non-Asian countries. The strong international turnout was underlined by the big increase in representation from the USA and European countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Hungary and Sweden—together with emerging countries such as Indonesia, Myanmar, South Africa and Turkey. The international flavour of Cosmoprof Asia 2014 was confirmed by the 22 national and group pavilions. The biggest was the Korean pavilion (2,776 square meters), followed by the Italian group (2,329 square meters). A new pavilion under the California Trade Alliance featured 12 companies showcasing colour cosmetics, body and foot care products, brush and personal care products. The international presence was further enhanced by the 8th International Buyer Program which lined up one-to-one meetings for exhibiting companies with selected buyers from the Asia Pacific region. In terms of exhibitor number and size, it was the biggest ever show—2,362 exhibitors (up 9% over 2013) from 42 countries and regions covering in excess of 81,500 square meters of exhibition space (up 7% over 2013). Exhibitors reported excellent results and were extremely impressed by the business opportunities in Asia. GOOD FOR BUSINESS “Cosmoprof Asia is a doorstep to all Asian markets, people from across Asia and all over the world fly over here to look for new products. We are exhibiting here for the first time as we are looking to get more exposure to the Asian market. We have a non-stop flow of clients, potential franchisees and stockers who are important for our products,” says Chris Bonnefoy, Director of Gentlemen’s Tonic (Hong Kong). These sentiments were echoed by many other exhibitors at the show. Jason Kim, General Manager of A.True (Korea) told the Organizers, “We are aiming to expand our products to the Asia market. We are so happy that we already got a lot of meetings with big buyers like Watsons and Sasa. Being in Cosmoprof Asia is fantastic because the visitors here are real professional buyers. We’ve already met several buyers who have a high desire to carry our products.” French-based Le Petit Olivier added, “It is the second year Le Petit Olivier takes part in Cosmoprof Asia. It is a real opportunity and extremely important for us to be in the French Pavilion which vehicles high quality and professional image of French cosmetics. Last year’s show not only enabled us to start business with Asia countries but also with other continents. Cosmoprof Asia is one of the most important shows in the world and we will participate each year.” The 3-day show offered a wide variety of events, demonstrations, seminars as well as new exhibition area catering to the wide spectrum of beauty and cosmetics sector. DEBUTING NEW ZONE It was the first year that Cosmoprof Asia launched the “Spot On Beauty” area, the new launchpad for innovative beauty brands in cosmetics, skincare, nail, hair and personal care. One hundred forty six brands from 17 countries and regions participated in 3,700 square meters at the Convention Hall. Seventy percent are new exhibitors including Black Paint— Myyuki Co., Ltd (Japan), INTERCOSMETICS srl (Italy) and the Lotus (Korea). Within the Spot On Beauty area, Cosmoprof Asia created a “sampling wall” called 76

“Boutique” where attendees could choose seven travel-sized sample products from sponsored brands with a donation of HKD100 benefiting the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation. Brands included 86 Shop (Taiwan), A.True (Korea), BaByliss PRO (US), Chihtsai (Taiwan), Christina (Israel), Emilia Cosmetics (Israel), JOSERISTINE (HK), Kaloya (Taiwan), Lashem (US), Parisienne (Italy), Pattrena (Thailand), Tangle Angel (UK), Veggie Soft (China)—together with HCP (Taiwan) who is the exclusive sponsor of the luxurious gift box. The initiative received great support from attendees and raised a total donation of HK$ 62,500. Another new section was “Prestige Avenue”—an open lounge area within the Cosmetics & Toiletries sector for high-end and well established brand with targeted distribution. The area hosted ten leading companies renowned for high quality products and services targeting the luxury market. NAILS IN THE SPOTLIGHT Cosmoprof Asia 2014 also had a focus on Nail and Accessories—a dedicated zone located at Grand Hall and Foyer presented 124 companies representing the full spectrum from nail care to nail polish, and nail accessories to decorative tools. The extensive product showcase was further enlivened by “International Nail Days”, a 3-day program connecting nail professionals and promoting knowledge exchange at the Grand Hall main stage. Famous nail artists and industry experts from Japan, Korea and France shared with audiences their know-how as well as the latest color trends, texture and technology in their respective country. Finally, the Hong Kong Professional Nailist Union Competition 2014, organized by the Hong Kong Professional Nailist Union on November 14, gathered 230 operators from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan and USA to compete in eight categories. A MORE COMPREHENSIVE SEMINAR PROGRAM The comprehensive educational program at this year’s show included 13 different presentations over the three show days covering the widest scope of topics yet, including spa and wellness, nail, beauty trends, market updates as well as innovation and formulation. A total of 775 delegates attended. A highlight from the program was the 7th Cosmoprof Asia Spa Conference which featured 16 high-caliber spa leaders to discuss hot topics including the impact of social media, tips on entering China, and product retail in day spas. A keynote “An overview on trends: East meets West” was presented by Andrew Gibson, Vice President of Spa and Wellness, Fairmont Raffles Hotels and Resorts. A number of new subjects were introduced this year, including “Personal Care & Beauty Care from Asia and Europe,” “Consumer Experience,” “Autumn-Winter 2015/16 Seasonal Forecast” as well as “Organic and Natural Market in Japan.” And for the first time at Cosmoprof Asia, the Hong Kong Society of Cosmetic Chemists introduced the “SCC Cosmetic Innovation Summit 2014” to educate delegates about the new technologies and the impact on innovation, product safety and all other aspects of cosmetic products. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR The next edition of Cosmoprof Asia will take place in Hong Kong on November 11-13, 2015. For more information on exhibiting and attending, please visit www.cosmoprof-asia.com.

업계소식 SC 미소협 사우스 케롤라이나 미소협은 지난 12월 7일, 애틀랜타에 위치한 서라벌 식당에서 협회원 및 업계 관계자 50 여명이 참석한 가운데 송년회를 개최 하였다. 이날 송년회에서는 지난 4년 간 회장직을 역임해온 최윤식 회장의 이임식과, 새로운 조운행 회장의 취 임식이 있었다. 새로운 조운행 회장 은 “이러한 직함이 처음이라 아직 서 툴기 때문에 여러분들의 많은 협조가 필요합니다. 앞으로 임기 동안 많은 지원 부탁 드립니다” 라는 취임사를 하였다. 이날 행사에는 최윤식회장에 대한 감사패도 전달 되었고, 각계의 인사들도 참석하여 한해 동안 수고한 협회원들을 격려하였다.

뉴욕협회 뉴욕협회는 지난 12월 17일 8시에 베이사이드 삼원각에서 60여명의 협회원들이 모인 가운데 ‘회원 단합대회 및 송년회’를 가졌다. 이날 행사 에서는 저녁식사를 마치고, 업계가 당면한 여러 가지 어려운 문제들을 논의하는 자리가 되었다 고 한다. 내용들은, 현재 중국의 생산자와 미국 의 소비자가 직거래하는 거 래형태에 대한 우려를 표명 했고, 해결 방안으로는 직 접구매의 내용은 간단한 제 품들로 이루어져 있기 때문 에, 도매상들이 제품의 품질 관리를 잘하고, 제품을 다양 화 하여 경쟁력을 높이는 것 이 관건일 것이라 하였다. 이 를 위해, 소매상들은 도매상

의 제품개발에 협력하고, 브랜딩하는데 협력해 야 한다고 하였다. 그러한 방법에는 위탁판매형 식이 될 수 있다고 하였다. 또한, 인터넷으로 제 품들이 거래되는 실정에 대한 우려도 많았다고 한다. 지난 Black Friday 때 집계된 현황을 보면, 인터넷 구매가 13% 오른 상황이고, 스토어 판 매는 11% 감소했다는 통계가 있다고 한다. 협회는 이날 행 사에서 직원관리 매뉴얼을 제 작해서 회원들에게 배포하였다 고 한다. 이 매뉴얼은 직원 채 용부터 해고하는 것, 직원들 관 리 목록 등 그 동안 주먹구구로 운영을 해온 직원들 관리에 대 한 지표가 될 것이라고 하였다.

가주협회 2015년 을미년(乙未年) 새해가 밝았 습니다. 몇 년 전 세계적인 금융사태 이후 모 두가 불경기를 극복하고자 힘든 시간 을 지내오며 이제는 회복되어가는 시 점이지만 우리업계는 좀처럼 불황의 터널을 빠져 나오지 못하고 있습니다. 이제는 지나가는 말로도 ‘하시는 사 업 괜찮으세요?’ 하는 말이 미안해서 못나올 지경에 이르렀습 니다. 올 해, 아니 앞으로의 전망도 혁명적인 변화가 없는 이상 우리 업계는 그다지 밝아 보이지는 않습니다. 현실을 냉정하게 분석 하고 적폐적인 요소를 과감하게 정리해야 될 시기인 것입니다. 몇 년 전부터 점차 시장을 잠식해오는 온라인 비즈니스의 덤핑 공세와 대형 체인스토어들의 공격적인 마켓팅이 앞으로도 심화 될 것은 불을 보듯 뻔 할 것입니다. 올해는 우선 나 스스로의 변화부터 시작할 때입니다. 변화 없는 일상에서 타성에 젖어 신경 쓰지 못했던 상품재고 관 리와 불필요한 비용절감, 상품진열의 변화 등 내부적인 요소와 경쟁업소에 감정적으로 대응했던 가격덤핑은 없었는지,, 보다 많은 상품지식을 갖고 고객에게 마음으로 다가갈 수 있는 스몰 비즈니스의 특성을 살린다면 우리 뷰티업계의 앞날이 어 둡지만은 않을 것이라고 기대합니다. 올해는 양띠. 그것도 청양띠 해입니다. 청양띠는 깨끗하고 순 수하며 생명을 상징하는 푸른색으로 매우 진취적이며 적극적인 양의모습을 뜻한다고 합니다. 매사에 적극적이면서도 건강한 양처럼 올해는 계획했던 모든일 들 다 성취하시기를 바랍니다. 새해 福 많이 받으시고 건강 하시기를 기원합니다. 가주 뷰티서플라이 협회 회장 Scott 홍

China Glaze Introduces Fan Manicure Kits ®

Following the success of its Ombre, Galaxy and On the Dot nail art kits, China Glaze® introduces the next wave of “nail design made easy” with its new Fan Manicure Kits. Featuring random stripes in a mix of colors, fan manicures are a nail look that many covet but have not tried, mainly because the cost of a good fan brush can be quite high. Now China Glaze® makes falling in line with this bold and dramatic nail design trend incredibly easy and affordable. Launching in January 2015 the China Glaze® Fan Manicure Kits include everything you need to create the ultimate brushed nail art look: four China Glaze® best sellers and a fan brush—all for one low price! Each kit also includes easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions with images.

Selfie Nation

Instagram and other social media apps have severely clouded the perception of reality when it comes to images and things we see on the Internet. Photo filters are able to change an image’s colors and contrast to enhance skin tones and appearances. Some even go to drastic measures and use programs and apps such as Photoshop or Magic Skin Filter. With all this deception, it seems like everyone has perfect skin! This trend of idealizing perfect skin complexions leads to many feeling out of the loop when looking in the mirror. Truth is, no one’s skin is perfect or as perfect as Instagram would have you believe. When walking down the street you can still notice the covering of imperfections through makeup and concealers. Is there even a way to have flawless skin without hiding behind photo filters and makeup? Yes! Skincare has come to great new lengths to improve skin complexion and remove dark spots, blemishes, and discolorations. Previously, in the skin care market, these products would only be 88

Here is how to create this sweeping effect manicure: Step 1: Paint your nails with the lightest color and wait for it to dry completely. Step 2: On a flat surface, drop a generous amount of the polish in separate puddles. Step 3: Dip the tip of the fan brush into any of the three shades. Step 4: With fan brush, paint lines across the nail in even strokes. Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 with each shade, cleaning brush with polish remover between colors. For richer color, allow the polish to dry before brushing again; this will prevent any smudging. Step 6: If needed, clean up all the excess using a sponge, brush or cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover. Step 7: Finish with China Glaze® Fast Forward Top Coat to protect your design. This look is meant to resemble organized chaos so let your creativity run wild by brushing the different shades on vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or all three. With the China Glaze® Fan Manicure Kits coloring outside the lines has never been more fun. China Glaze® is free of DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde. China Glaze® nail lacquers are available through salons and beauty supply stores nationwide.

AACS 2014 – “A Peek Inside Your Students’ Minds”

At the AACS Annual Convention & Expo, Fromm’s Chief Marketing Officer, Sara Pirok, lead a class to over 100 attendees on ways to understand students more effectively and align innovation efforts to their needs. Fromm has occupied a unique position in the beauty industry, providing stylists with the most innovative tools influenced from stylist-based research since 1907. The company brought their consumer research team and the Fromm model to showcase ways to better understand students and stylists to increase the success of your business. It is so important to understand the challenges of stylists and cosmetology students to ensure we are creating the right items. Throughout the process, a lot of evaluation and product testing occurs. The Fromm model focuses on three main areas: observation, focus groups and product testing. Sara reiterated that it is important to include stylists from chain and high-end salons, estheticians, barbers and cosmetology school teachers. She then went on to explain

the four key generations of the beauty industry’s consumer market (Generation Z, The Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers) and their key features. The Generation Z is the next generation coming into beauty education. These prospective students have the highest IQ of any generation and have always been connected to the world through technology. It’s essential to understand who exactly these Generation Z (Digital Natives) prospects are if we are going to recruit them and teach them how to be successful in the beauty industry. Sara encouraged the audience to attain feedback from their students regularly and to face the tough issues in their establishments head on. Engage and learn from them just as they train and learn from your teachers and curriculum. In preparation for this class, Fromm’s Consumer Research Team went out and surveyed over 200 cosmetology students, held focus groups and in-person interviews with students and teachers. www.frommbeauty.com

Lay the Foundation for Great Style with Wahl ’19 Men’s Grooming Line The foundation of great style must be laid with solid tools. Wahl ’19, an innovative new line for men, is your first means to healthy hair and artistic swagger. Wahl has what is best for hair and skin completely under control. Wahl ’19 for men gives hair and skin exactly what it needs, along with the attitude and confidence that come from the most stringent credentials. All products in the Wahl ’19 line fall within the desired 4.5 to 5.5 pH range for hair to look its best and Wahl says so on every bottle. “The thing everyone’s hair and skin have in common is pH,” said Lance Wahl, Director of Sales and Marketing, Wahl Clipper Corporation Professional Division. “The pH is universal and we have taken the time to formulate this product line to create hair and skin solutions that work for all clients. And barbers and stylists now have a high quality, multipurpose line of men’s products that will work on all hair and skin types.” The new Wahl ’19 line contains four products – COMPLETE, CONTROL, NO STING and MORTAR. COMPLETE is an over-all shampoo and body wash. For hair, COMPLETE is the ultimate shampoo that cleans dirty buildups and leaves hair with a fresh, invigorating scent. When applied as a body cleanser, it thoroughly cleans pores, eliminating odors in the process without drying, irritating or stripping essential oils and nutrients.

CONTROL is an all-in-one conditioner, grooming and shaving cream solution. CONTROL conditioner is infused with wheat proteins and amino acids that help restore damaged hair. As a grooming cream, it tames beards and softens skin. It’s so flexible that it makes for a great shaving cream alternative, offering a low-pH and alcohol-free formula that’s safe for all skin types. Freshly-shaved skin deserves extra-special care. Enter NO STING, an alcohol-free astringent that moisturizes skin, closes pores and helps prevent ingrown hairs. The style touch comes from MORTAR, a low-pH and alcohol-free product that protects hair. “The attraction of a great men’s hairstyle is bold definition and extreme flexibility,” said Laura VanderMoere, Director of Education in the Professional Division at Wahl. “MORTAR protects hair from whatever is thrown at it. It can easily transition from a clean 9 to 5 business look to a more daring, edgy look for night. MORTAR is a matte finishing paste that is moldable and pliable yet provides the hair with superior hold they can run their hands through.” Wahl has tested these products thoroughly and has seen incredible results for all hair and skin types. No matter the trends, healthy hair is always in style. For more information on Wahl ’19, please visit www.wahlpro.com.
