LCN’

LCN’s number one seller is its 8ml Nail Serum for home care. It works to repair dehydrated nails that crack, split and break easily. This nail serum is like water for the natural nail and will ensure that they don’t become dehydrated and brittle underneath artificial nail products. The serum ensures the natural nail stays nourished and flexible which will prevent it from pulling away from the artificial nail extension. It should be used daily around the cuticle and under the free edge to ensure natural nails stay healthy.

Natural Nail Boost Gel is one of LCN’s professional products which it markets as its protection manicure. This gel improves the structure of the nail plate after application. It requires a light curing and is a solvent-resistant permanent gel polish. The natural nail is protected, nourished, enabled to regenerate and stabilised under a flawless, even finish.

RescueXX™

This daily treatment combines the power of keratin protein and conditioning jojoba oil. Clinically proven results show that if used twice a day for a week, RescueXX™ thickens nails, reduces white surface patches and noticeably improves the condition of the nails. After four weeks, it’s proven to decrease splitting and peeling and further reduce white surface patches. The product’s key purpose is to strengthen damaged and weakened natural nails that have been harmed by environmental or mechanical trauma. In addition, RescueXX™ will help to stop the perpetuation of further delamination and splitting. The conditioning properties of jojoba oil and sweet almond oil work to nurture and soften the skin around the nail plate.RescueXX™ provides salons with an ideal retail opportunity to add a new nail rescue treatment to their service menus.

STARTING AND PROGRESSING YOUR CAREER IN THE BEAUTY AND WELLNESS INDUSTRY
Choosing the best educational pathway for you
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER BY UPSKILLING YOURSELF
With so many beauty-related qualifications on offer, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding on what you would like to study further. We have collated just a few of them.
ELEVATING THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY THROUGH TERTIARY EDUCATION
In the dynamic world of beauty and aesthetics, the pursuit of excellence begins with education. This industry is flourishing in South Africa, offering diverse opportunities for skilled professionals. However, the importance of obtaining tertiary education from accredited institutions cannot be overstated. In this article Nouvique Academy sheds light on the significance of a structured education and the pitfalls of fly-by-night institutions that pose a threat to the industry’s integrity. 
ONGOING TRAINING IS NOT NEGOTIABLE
As the world of beauty constantly evolves, the RefectoCil SA Academy believes that ongoing training and educating of beauty therapists is crucial for several reasons, for example, it contributes to the overall professionalism, competency, and success of individuals in the beauty industry.
OUR INDUSTRY NEEDS MORE GRADUATES WITH MASTER’S DEGREES
Lecturers at registered higher education institutions in South Africa are required to have an academic qualification registered at a higher NQF (National Qualifications Framework) level than the level they are teaching or facilitating. For instance, teaching somatology (NQF level 6) necessitates the lecturer to have an advanced diploma in dermal aesthetics (NQF level 7). Further progression typically mandates a master’s degree in somatology. The Isa Carstens® Academy has identified a shortage of graduates holding master’s degrees in this field.
