Exfoliation is an easy sell

It improves the complexion, unclogs pores, reduces the appearance of scars and fine lines, and enhances cell regeneration and product absorption. Exfoliation is an excellent part of any beauty regimen. What’s great is that there are so many options available for your clients, whether applied by professionals or by themselves at home.

While the benefits of exfoliating are obvious to us in the beauty industry, not all of our clients are familiar enough with the process to request it. The good news is that there are three simple ways to increase demand for exfoliation at your salon or spa

1. Explain what it does

Knowledge sharing is key. Explain the importance of exfoliation in maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Let clients know that it removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and promotes cell turnover.

Point out that there are physical, chemical, and enzymatic exfoliation methods, and that to recommend the best one for each client, you first need to assess the client’s skin type, concerns, and goals.

2. Demonstrate how it works

During treatments, show how the exfoliation process works. To experience the immediate benefits, let clients feel and look at their skin before and after exfoliation.

3. How can you include exfoliation in your service offering?

You can enhance your existing facial and massage services by incorporating processes and products that are exclusive to professionals. When clients book these services, you can highlight the benefits of exfoliation and offer to include it as a package deal.

For at-home exfoliation, offer high-quality products and explain how they complement professional treatments. And when clients buy other skincare items, suggest that they purchase exfoliating products too. During checkout, you can recommend a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant.

It’s also a good idea to offer personalised aftercare services and advice. Also, don’t forget to remind clients to exfoliate regularly and to adjust their beauty routine as needed.

EFFECTIVE WAYS TO EXFOLIATE THAT DON’T HARM THE SKIN

Exfoliating no longer involves rubbing the skin with abrasives. This was often damaging and sometimes led to premature ageing. Today, there are several levels of exfoliation, depending on what your client wishes to achieve and the condition of their skin. The ZONE range by RégimaA offers a variety of options.

The range of natural fruit acid peels by RégimaA are effective at keeping sagging and ageing skin at bay, no matter the condition of the skin at the time of application. A skilled therapist should apply these peels, which come in varying strengths and include a milder alternative.

RégimaA’s Power Peels (30%–50% and Medic 86% for rapid exfoliation) contain six natural acids: peach, raspberry, apple, lactic, malic, and citric, as well as active ingredients for healing, exfoliating, and smoothing. It contains the healing ingredients Centella Asiatica and Panthenol and provides rapid exfoliating action with a five- to 15-minute treatment time. It offers renewed elasticity, the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, the removal of pigmentation, as well as sun, age, and liver spots on the face and hands. It is safe for the face, including the dark

undereyes, neck, breasts, and décolleté. Peels the face and body and helps to treat hypertrophic, keloid, and acne scars, as well as old burns and skin grafts.

The Techno 5 Resurfacer offers a milder, gradual, natural approach for those not wishing to visibly peel. With five new technologies combined, it resurfaces skin with enzymatic action, giving it a new finish. Biomimetic peptide peeling results in enhanced cell renewal and rejuvenation, offering luminosity, vibrance, and increased radiance.

Biomimetic peeling… A world-first in peptide technology that, through enhanced cell renewal, provides a smoothing effect and true skin rejuvenation

Black tea extract also evens skin tone, enhances radiance, and brightens the complexion. Brightening effect… Provides instant luminosity using a unique polymer technology with an optical diffusion effect.

Tropical fruit compound: The enzymatic fraction of tropical fruits produces an extremely gentle exfoliating action that promotes non-aggressive cell turnover and has a plumping effect. It reinforces skin barrier function, improves skin tone, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. It softens, hydrates, and brightens the skin.

REVITALISED SKIN

TheraVine® Intensive Exfoiant is a glycolic acid gel that removes dead skin cells to reveal younger-looking skin that looks visibly revitalised, radiant and brightened.

The main ingredients include 10% glycolic acid buffered at pH 3 for optimal penetration to ensure the best results with minimum irritation. It removes superficial dead skin cells to reveal smoother, softer, brighter, and more supple skin with fewer irregularities. Ingredients like lime add an antibacterial and anti-septic element, while jasmine moisturises and balances the skin.

Combined, these ingredients create a product that reveals smoother, softer, brighter, more supple skin with fewer irregularities, preparing it for the penetration of active ingredients in serums and treatment creams. Tissue oxygenation is increased and pigmentation is reduced.

It is ideal for dry and mature skin, treating fine lines and wrinkles, as well as environmentally damaged skin, such as photo damage from overexposure to UV radiation, uneven skin tone, and decongesting problematic skin.

A GENTLE APPROACH

DermaFix Cleansers and Toners are formulated to gently yet effectively remove surface impurities and restore the skin’s natural pH in preparation for the application of serums and other actives. Using natural botanicals and powerful extracts, DermaFix should be your top choice when it comes to skin preparation.

DermaBright is useful in suppressing pigmentation, treating inflammatory non-cystic acne and rejuvenating photo-aged skin. Mandelic acid, derived from the hydrolysis of an extract of bitter almonds, has been extensively studied for its uses in treating common skin problems such as photo-ageing, irregular pigmentation, and acne.

The most popular DermaFix exfoliators are DermaPolish and DermaPolish + with activated charcoal for their gentle action and fresh feel on the skin. These are enzymatic exfoliators that remove redundant skin cell buildup, offering skin-brightening results while stimulating cell growth. The inclusion of activated charcoal helps to adsorb toxins and impurities, additionally providing deep-cleansing benefits for congested skin.
