"Trust Me, I'm an Expert."
Don't you wish you were prepped and ready for every question that came your way? It's like in school when you got thrown off-guard and your zinger comes to you - not then - but when you're well on your way home? That sort of thing just happened today.
I had a new client who found me by Googling "best facial". So she came in with the expectation that I am an expert at treatments. (naturally, ;D)
She had her expert facial and enjoyed it thoroughly. I asked if she would like to see the products I would recommend for her. She did. Oh, did I forget to mention that she is coming from the 'natural' world ... "non-toxic" ... that sort of vibe. Well, I showed her what I thought her skin needed, including a scrub to exfoliate and help with her congestion, but she passed on it because ... wait for it ... "THERE WERE TOO MANY INGREDIENTS". This is where I got thrown off course.
Of course it's now, several hours later that I have come up with my come-back ...
It's FOOD that should have fewer ingredients - and ones you can pronounce, not your SCRUB.
I don't mind an inquiry, but I do mind comparing my products to whatever multi-level-mayhem is currently on the market trying to compete with mine.
Where is the disconnect from treatment room to product shelf?
Wouldn't logic dictate that if I am an expert in skin care treatments wouldn't my selection of skin care products be on the same level - or higher - since this is something clients are using every day, not just once a month or during their spa treatments???
I love a good product discussion, and her inquiries have sparked me up again. I'm going to show you a .pdf of a company who makes one incredible ingredient, Liposhield. This is an HEV light shield. What is HEV light? It's the blue/violet light that one thinks of when around snow or at a lake - it's everywhere, including radiating from our smart phones, computer and TV screens, etc. Studies have shown how damaging this light frequency is to our skin - aging it faster than even UV light (which is horrible for the skin).
After reading the .pdf I hope you can see how difficult skin care formulation has gotten since the cold cream days. Good products are tremendously complicated. That is one of the reasons I have friction with the "all natural" companies. If you really want results, it takes a lot more than just a simple formula.

NEW Blog!
I'm back again experimenting in cyberspace! Hoping that this format will be a more excellent way to post information that I find, my thoughts and experiences, and anything fun and relevant to Vanities Spa and her clients.
I will be moving what is on the website now to here for easier reading (fingers crossed) - and I hope that it can be in sort of a chronological order (or at least some logical order!).
Wish me luck ... here I GO!
