Since November is Healthy Skin Month, I wanted to focus on what healthy skin truly is. In the age of social media and the internet, its representation gets skewed by the idea that perfect skin is the only way to have healthy skin, which is quite the opposite of the truth. 

Fall is around the corner, which brings the beginning of autumn festivities and holiday-themed treatments! It's an ideal time to cocktail our products to drive those results and maximize a product’s efficacy.

Fall requires a transition in your skincare selection to accommodate the drier and colder weather. Choose products that focus on hydrating, exfoliating and brightening for every type of treatment you offer clients and for yourself. 

Cocktails to try this FALL

Lips

Peptide Micro Scrub + CBD Hydratherapy Masque + Hydrating Lip Balm

This lip cocktail works wonders to exfoliate and hydrate the lips. Massage a pea-size Micro Scrub onto the lips for 1 – 2 minutes. Remove with a warm towel. Apply a pea-sized amount of the masque, let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes, then remove with a warm wet towel. Finish with the Hydrating Lip Balm and re-apply as needed.

Lip Enhancer + Cellulite Corrector Cream

Amazing combination for a temporary lip plump. Apply and mix equal parts of each. Be sure to stay inside the vermillion border to avoid redness outside the lip line due to vasodilation. Follow with Sonophoresis or Microamp on your DermaSound^™ Ultra for an extra boost!

Face

CBD Hydratherapy Masque + Hydrating Masque

This ultimate hydration masque combination feels like luxury on your skin. The CBD Hydratherapy Masque brings increased hydration, reduces inflammation, plumps and smooths the skin, while the Hydrating Masque will help to exfoliate, detoxify, energize, and moisturize dry, dehydrated skin. Combine at a 1:1 ratio.

Ultra Hydro Gel + Professional Oxygen Booster

Boost hydration and help reverse dull, tired skin. Mix equal parts with a fan brush. Apply to face, neck and décolleté and allow to sit for five minutes. Gently massage excess into the skin.

Oxygen Deep Pore Masque + Professional Tightening Protein Booster

Tighten, brighten and lighten the skin with this duo! Apply ½ teaspoon with 3 – 4 pumps of the oxygen deep pore cleanser. Make sure the brush is wet, and mix the two. Leave on the skin for 10 – 15 minutes and remove with warm towels.

Accelerator Gel + Diamond Bright Skin Illuminator

Lighten and brighten stubborn pigment! Mix equal parts and apply to the skin. Follow with your favorite moisturizer. Best if used at night due to sun sensitivity.

Essential Serum + Daily Skin Clarifier + Restoring Fulvic Elixir

This antioxidant-packed trio helps fight free radical damage, promote healing, increase hydration, reduce inflammation, and provide antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. Mix equal parts of these serums and apply them to the face at the same time. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.

Hydrating Masque + Professional Exfoliator with 30% and 50% Lactic Acid

Enzyme exfoliation from the Hydrating Masque combined with the Professional Exfoliator with 30% or 50% Lactic Acid delivers amazing lightning, brightening, and moisturizing properties. Mix equal parts and leave on for 5 – 15 minutes. Remove with warm towels.

Body

Cellulite Corrector Cream + Anti-Aging Exfoliant Masque

Great for anywhere you are trying to target cellulite. Mix equal parts and exfoliate into the skin for 3 – 5 minutes. Leave on the skin for an additional 10 minutes. Remove with a warm towel. We especially love this for a booty treatment!

Professional 5 Berry Solution + Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion

This duo is targeted to lighten, brighten, and tighten the skin. Mix one part of the body lotion with ½ part of the peel. Leave on the skin for 3 – 5 minutes to neutralize. This cocktail can be used as a facial treatment by substituting the lotion with your favorite moisturizer! We love the comfort cream for the face.

These cocktails are safe for all Fitzpatrick Skin Types!
