IN -SALON USE EXFOLIATORS

Concentrated formulations to be applied only in-salon by licensed esthetician

Description

Thickened upper layers of stratum corneum, a common condition of the skin, is a result of increased resistive build-up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This condition is not only physically unappealing, it usually lends itself to several other unwanted conditions such as comedone formation, milia, etc. There are two ways an esthetician can help to break down a thickened stratum corneum:

1. Hydrating and mechanical scrubbing.

An esthetician can provide intensive hydrating services such as steam and sloughing products (see our Enzyme Peeling Cream or Almond Honey Scrub). They work as "sand paper" to remove the dead skin cells. Almond meal grains act as a coarse exfoliant and the French talc within the scrub as a polishing finish. Intensive steam and scrubbing leaves the skin radiant because of better light reflection (called interference). Mechanical scrubs do not influence the lower levels of the stratum corneum. They remove only the very top layers of the stratum corneum.

2. Exfoliation with Alpha Hydroxy Acids

This is a special group of fruit acids found to reduce resistive dead cell build-up. As the solution of Alpha Hydroxy Acids influences dead cell build-up at a lower level of the stratum corneum (because of its penetration), the removal of the deeper dead cell layer allows the skin to become more flexible. This results in a thinner stratum corneum layer, which bends more readily without cracking and splitting; the skin becomes more radiant and obtains natural color.

Benefits

Our unique Bio-Rectifying Exfoliator is an important in-salon portion of the facial or as separate service. This concentrated formulation of Glycolic Acid and Ammonium Glycolate accelerates the removal of the dead outer skin, improving the skin's appearance and enhancing the results obtained with our other skin care products. It may be used as part of the your existing facial procedure or as a separate exfoliation service.

Caution:

It is strongly recommended that a client use Glycolic Acid Products, without irritation, for one to two weeks prior to an in-salon Glycolic Treatment. This is necessary to confirm that the client does not experience irritation or excessive sensitivity from Alpha Hydroxy Acid Treatment products. If sensititivity or irritation occur, do not perform the in-salon Glycolic Treatments. Do not perform treatment on sunburned, sensitive, or irritated skin.

Application Procedure for the Bio-Rectifying Exfoliator X70

1. Cleanse and tone the face and neck with the appropriate products (Camphor or Mint Souffle). Cover the eyes with cotton pads.

2. Use a very small amount (about 2-3 ml.) of Exfoliator for each application to the entire face and neck area. If you apply Exfoliator to other areas, adjust the amount accordingly.

3. Apply Exfoliator with two cotton applicators held together. Work in a consistent manner, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Apply Exfoliator into the hairline and eyebrows and onto neck. Avoid the eyelids during the application. Be very careful not to get Exfoliator into the eyes.

4. Leave Exfoliator on according to the skin type for a total of 5 to 10 minutes . For maximum effect for non-sensitive skin remove after no more than 15 minutes. Start timing when you begin the application.

5. Remove thoroughly with warm water and gauze. Remove Exfoliator in the same direction and sequence in which it was applied.
