SUMMER SAFE SKIN CARE PRACTICES

Skin is made of numerous layers and each layer is performing different functions. One of these layers is called the Basal Layer — this is where our skin cells form and divide to create the outer layer of our skin. Also in this layer, there is a cell called a Melanocyte. A Melanocyte is a dendritic cell, meaning it has branch-like legs that reach up through the skin and is responsible for transporting melanosomes. Melanosomes contain pigment (melanin) to give us the color of our skin, hair, and eyes.

These robust products that are formulated with the power of oxygen, will benefit clients who suffer from multiple skin issues—especially aging and acne. Oxygen increases protein which is responsible for transporting oxygen by 56 percent, helping to stimulate collagen and elastin and normalize hypoxic stressors to prevent aging. Oxygen reduces acne not only because it kills acne-causing bacteria but it also has powerful anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.

Part of being successful as a skin care professional is skill, knowledge, technique, and retail.

Retail is what will help carry your business to great heights, even when business traffic is low.
