What is Exfoliation? Who Needs It? What are the Options? What Works? Is it SAFE?
Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface referred to as the epidermis.
You may not realize it, but all throughout the day you are shedding dead skin cells. These cells come off in small enough sections that you rarely notice them. When the body does not shed skin quickly enough, it can trap oils on the surface of your skin, and cause other problems. To facilitate this natural process, you may need to exfoliate your skin to encourage the removal of these dead cells. Simply put, this is accomplished through...
Are You a Vendor's Protocol or an Individual?
Spas generate a LOT of income through selling you, the client all kinds of over-priced, and possibly some unnecessary products. Many of these products used on you in the spa can be purchased over the counter (OTC), too. Even at Sears! Vendors constantly promote their over-sized product lines to estheticians and spas, in hopes you will purchase the WHOLE package/product line. Lots of clients impulse buy as well, and/or feel pressured to do so by the esthetician. Skinplicity is DIFFERENT. I am a holistic practitioner who uses specifically chosen organic and chemically 'clean' product lines, that I myself extensively research...
Hyperpigmentation - You Probably Have Some...
Pigmentation is what gives the skin its color. Hyper-pigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin. When a person is healthy, his or her skin will appear uniform in color. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. Exposure to sunlight is a major cause of hyperpigmentaion, and will darken already hyperpigmented areas. In the case of illness or injury, the person's skin may change color, becoming darker (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation). Now, you...

WHY I CUSTOM BLEND MOST ALL MY SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR YOU. Today’s example: Vitamin C Serums
Why be sold a high-priced product designed to maximize the average day spa’s bottom line?
Do you know what that long laundry list of chemicals are on the label of your exorbitantly priced skincare products? Do you know the percentages of the ACTIVE ingredients? Did you know a lot of those chemicals are in there just to make it “prettier” and have more “eye-appeal”? How about those artificial colors, petroleum based lubricants, lab-created carcinogenic fragrances, and hormone-disrupting preservatives? What about the freshness? What about the pH? Did you know “oil-free” is not oil/grease/fat-free? I custom blend my products because...
