STEP 1: CLEANSE
Cleanse skin with our de-pigment, all-purpose Skin Brightening Cleanser for a thorough, deep-pore cleanse.  Dispense 1-2 pumps and massage into skin for several minutes (don’t rush this step). Remove with warm water and soft cloth then pat skin dry.

STEP 2: ENZYME
Deliver natural brightening support with our de-pigment Skin Brightening Enzyme.  Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin. Avoid eye area. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and soft cloth or gauze then pat skin dry.

STEP 3: MASK
Apply a thin, even layer of our replenishing Chocolate Antioxidant Mask to dry face and neck.  Avoid eye area.  Let remain on skin for 10-15 minutes.  Remove with tepid water and soft cloth or gauze then pat skin dry. Mask may create a stimulating sensation which is normal. For additional antioxidant protection, apply a few drops of Hydrating Grape Seed Serum to skin prior to mask application.

STEP 4: HYDRATE & PROTECT
Finish with Hydrating Grape Seed Serum for deep hydration and antioxidant support.  Dispense 1-2 pumps onto fingertips and apply to clean, dry skin.  Let absorb and remain on skin.

At-Home Facial Massage Steps


Use your own products or buy the kit above, using the Grape Seed Hydrating Serum for the massage Oil. Grape Seed Hydrating Serum is packed with antioxidants plus cinnamon and clove Aromatherapy. Continue with the following steps:

1. Choose your favorite Face Treatment Oil or Serum, warm a few drops in the palms of your hands and inhale the aroma.
2. Press the oil into your skin before working in upward circular movements through jawline, cheeks, and forehead.
3. Gently pinch along the jawline, then repeat this technique along both eyebrows. Squeezing to release tension.
4. Using your middle fingers, circle orbital bone. Begin at the inside edge of your brows, with medium pressure follow the brows to the outside edge, then down and around following the orbital bone, and then back up through the middle. Repeat 3 times.
5. With both middle fingers, crisscross in firm strokes up the center of the forehead from nose to hairline and repeat.
6. Massage your forehead using small, circular movements and finish by applying light pressure to each temple to ease tension.
Optional Step 7: Remove puffiness and stimulate the lymphatic system by using a Jade Roller.

Jade rollers are affordable, easy to use, and feel amazing. If you experience puffiness around the eyes, place the roller in the refrigerator, then use it when chilled.  The small side fits nicely around the eyes. I recommend this one on Amazon, it comes with an instruction video. Premium Jade Roller – 100% Natural Jade Stone Roller & Gua Sha – Video Tutorial & Ebook Included – Real Jade Roller for Face $20.

Brighten Your Complexion – New Dermaplane Skin Service!

Jan

Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure using a sharp blade (scalpel) to exfoliate the epidermis with the added benefit of removing vellus hair (peach fuzz). Dermaplaning provides an immediate result with a smooth, more even tone and vibrant appearance. It is popular before big events, as the result is immediate and makeup goes on the skin smoother, appearing more natural.

Dermaplane-pic

An effective treatment on its own, but is also commonly used as a prep before other esthetic treatments including superficial chemical exfoliation, LED, ultrasound, microcurrent or as an add-on to a facial.  Clients that have an excess amount of vellus hair particularly like dermaplaning for the smooth texture that occurs after the hair removal. This hair can also trap dead skin cells and oil in the follicles, resulting in clogged pores. Therefore, removing the hair gives you clearer, healthier skin. This is also a great treatment for clients who are pregnant or nursing, and looking for a deeper exfoliation without the risk of applying topical products that could potentially be absorbed into the bloodstream.

There is no downtime associated with this procedure. It’s merely an old wives’ tale, that the hair will grow back heavier and darker after dermaplaning. Shaving cannot change the structure and function of the hair. It will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment. The hair may feel blunt when it initially grows back. This should not be confused with extra hair growth. The Dermaplane Facial has become the fast favorite at Aroma Essence Skincare and includes the relaxing warm stone massage and deeply hydrating facial mask. 

Julianne Bacialli is a licensed esthetician with more than 18 years of experience. She has knowledge in all aspects of the skin care industry, specializing in medical esthetics and is the owner of Aroma Essence Skincare.
