Are you Nuts? Spotlight on Macademia Oil

Macadamia oil is ample in rich, intensive, and highly nourishing oil! Macadamia oil is a fabulous, protective oil with a high absorption rate and has been successfully used as a healing oil for scars, sunburns, minor wounds, and other irritations.


Part of what makes it so fabulous is the concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids because it closely resembles sebum (the oil naturally produced by one's skin to help protect it).

Incorporate in your treatment with Dr. Temt Magic Macadamia Oil Ampoule!

Ampoules provide immediate and noticeable results with pure active ingredients. This is a thicker ampoule which can be massaged into the skin with or without steam and does not need to be rinsed off. It has more of a serum consistency, it can be followed with a moisturizer or worn alone or as a moisturizer. Some ampoules may be mixed with a liquid foundation to provide long-lasting and complete coverage.

The Macadamia Oil Ample is a rich, intensive and highly nourishing oil Ampoule. It is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving it smooth and hydrated.

Ideal for dry, sensitive and mature skin.

This fine oil comes from the pressed nuts of the Macadamia tree. It is a priceless delight for the skin and has proven itself to be one of the best regenerative oils available.

Effective in protecting and healing skin blemishes such as scars, sunburn, minor wounds and other irritations!

Season Menu: A Chocolate Wrap!

Body treatments are seasonal, and what better treatment for this time of year, than a Chocolate body wrap!

The treatment is luxurious, relaxing, and cost-effective when using the Keyano Chocolate Mousse Mask!

The decadent, light whipped Chocolate Mousse Mask can be used in slimming/anti-cellulite or pedicure treatments.

Key Ingredients: Theobroma Cocoa, Magnesium Sulfate, Citric Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Oxide

Chocolate Mousse Body Wrap Protocols

The ultimate treat for both the mind and body. Imagine yourself totally immersed in a chocolate indulgence that actually produces a slimming effect on the body.

Derived from the Amazon, cocoa is among the most concentrated vegetable sources of energy. It provides minerals such as magnesium and zinc as well as from 1.5 to 3% of theobromine, a methylxanthine very similar to caffeine that has an effect on stimulation of lipogenesis (fat burning).

Recommended Procedure Time: 1 Hour

Items needed for treatment

• Body brush
• Blanket
• Sheet
• Bath Towel
• Thermal Wrap
• Chocolate Scrub
• Chocolate Mousse Wrap
• Chocolate Butter Cream

Step 1: Prepare the table with a blanket, sheet, and towel.

Step 2: Pour 3 oz. of Chocolate Scrub in a treatment bowl.

Step 3: Escort the client to the treatment table and have them lye face down and cover with a towel.

Step 4: Moisten the area and begin exfoliation on the back with the Chocolate Scrub with a smooth circular motion. Have the client turn over and continue with the entire body always in the direction of the heart until the skin feels smooth. The abdomen area is applied in a clockwise circular motion. Escort the client to shower or remove with wet towels.
While the client is in the shower put a plastic sheet on the table.

Step 5: Prepare Chocolate Mask with 1 cup of Chocolate Mousse Mask and approximately 5 oz. of warm water. The mask will fizz and heat up. Mix into a smooth paste. While the client is lying face down apply warm Chocolate Mousse Mask to the back of the body. Check to see that mask is not to hot for application.
Have the client turn over and finish applying to the rest of the body. Only use one hand for application and apply as quickly as possible so the client will not become cold. If removing with wet towels use less mask in your application.

Step 6: Wrap client in plastic sheet & cover with sheet and blanket. Keep the client as warm as possible.

Step 7: Time for 20 minutes. Perform a relaxing scalp, or foot massage while the client is resting.

Step 8: Unwrap the plastic and escort the client to the shower. While the client is in the shower remove plastic leaving the sheet on the table.
If no shower is available to begin removing the mask with heated towels or diapers. If using a Vichy shower, rinse on the table. (Do not use soap)

Step 9: Escort client to the table lying face down. Apply Chocolate Butter Cream to the back, have the client turn over and then apply to the rest of the body. Have the client rest and drink plenty of water.

Sounds simply heavenly doesn't it?

Pro Tip: For a finishing touch offer a massage, using Keyano Chocolate Massage Oil!

Getting Down to the Roots: Natural vs Synthetic Wax

Day in and day out, we talk to our clients about the several dozen wax brands and hundreds of varieties of wax we offer. Some clients prefer creamy waxes, others prefer honey wax. Some love hard wax, some like soft wax, many use both! 

One of the biggest differentiators between waxes is if they are made with natural or synthetic resins. But what does that mean, exactly?

Resin is the core ingredient in wax. Natural resin is derived from the sap of trees - typically pine or fir trees. Synthetic resin is a man-made ingredient. 

In many cases, we "believe" that natural products equals better. However, this is not necessarily the case when it comes to wax. According to a blog written by Lilliane Caron, the Owner & Director of Caronlab Australia: 

"Unrefined resins can cause allergic reactions and product instability. Tree resins are generally referred to as Colophonium, or Rosin, on the ingredient listing, but unfortunately you are not going to know if it is good quality until you open the jar. Resins are cheaper to buy if they have strong smells or dark colours and the parts of the resin that cause this also generally cause a negative reaction in the client. If the wax has a strong acid/chemical smell or a very dark brown, dirty colour then it will also probably be very cheap to buy and be more likely to cause a negative reaction. If you are trying a new wax, alarm bells should ring if clients are breaking out with itchy, red skin after or during a treatment. Hard waxes will become brittle and snap off which can lead to hair breakage and bruising of the skin if they are made from inferior grade resins."

On the opposite hand, high-quality synthetic resins are more consistent from batch to batch, and the manufacturer is better able to maintain high standards of quality control, in turn allowing the waxer to trust the product to yield the same results, batch after batch.

If you love a pure white wax, you can rest assured that it is a synthetic resin wax that you are using - natural resin will never lend itself to the pure white color. Synthetic resins are very easy to color and fragrance as well, so your wax that smells delicious is also likely a synthetic resin.

Many people get caught up in the connotation surrounding "natural" vs "synthetic" - but in the case of wax, at the very least, do your research! Synthetic resins are much less likely to cause allergic reactions, or skin reactions of any kind, for that matter.

We first microwaved the wax, which worked very well. We then kept it in our wax warmer to keep the consistency, and despite the height of the can, it stayed melted and ready to go!

We were instantly impressed with how thinly this wax spread on my skin. Removing the strips was completely painless, and it picked up all of my hair. I did get a little red after the service, but it calmed quickly, and honestly, I have never tried a soft wax that didn't make me react a little.

All in all, this was an incredibly effective and comfortable wax! Have you ever tried White Queen?

La Palm Volcano Spa is an organic, single-use pedicure treatment that comes in an already portioned packet for each client, helping eliminate wasted product. The treatment includes five steps that will help clients' skin feel moisturized, and smooth out the skin's appearance with its collagen-infused ingredients.

Step one and two involve Detox Volcano Crystals and a Volcano Activator packet, which cause a bubbling carbonation. Step three involves an exfoliating sugar scrub. Steps four and five include a cream mask and massage lotion, both of which are collagen-infused, allowing you to finish the service off with long-lasting moisture and anti-aging benefits. Made in the USA.

Details:

Step 1: Detox Volcano Crystals: (approximately 2 oz.)
To prepare for the fun bubble explosion, first add the full packet of Volcano Crystals to warm spa water. Be sure to spread the volcano crystals evenly throughout.

Step 2: Detox Volcano Activator: (approximately 1 oz.)
Immediately add the full packet of Volcano Activator to begin the bubbling Volcano eruption. Clients will especially enjoy this effect as the entire room fills with the lovely fragrance! Allow feet to soak for approximately three minutes as the reaction detoxifies and softens the skin. Dry legs and feet with a towel. To blend the ingredients and boost the fragrance, turn on the water jets before continuing.

Step 3: Exfoliating Sugar Scrub: (approximately 1 oz.)
Apply a generous amount of sugar scrub and massage gently to exfoliate the skin. These raw sugars and essential oils help renew the texture of skin and enhance vibrancy, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Be sure to rinse the sugar scrub and towel dry.

Step 4: Collagen Organic Cream Mask: (approximately 1 oz.)
The Collagen cream mask is formulated to draw out any remaining impurities while rejuvenating skin's appearance. Apply Mask evenly over legs and feet, then wrap a warm towel around both legs. Allow the mask to dry for 10 minutes to provide the full benefits. Rinse both legs afterwards and towel dry.
