Step 1
Welcome
Welcome the guest and ask which concern he/she would like to address, based on the boosters we offer. Ensure the guest is comfortable on the bed and turn the /skin regimen/Macro Waves Sound™ on.
Have the /skin regimen/ Blend ready to start the welcoming energetic detoxification and realignment.
1. Warm 2 drops of /skin regimen/ Blend in your hands, ask the guest to inhale while your hands gently move close to the nose.
2. Place hands on décolleté and push down for one breath.
3. Place hands on the shoulders and push for one breath.
4. Slide hands to the base of the neck and with a walking action move back towards the occiput.
5. Glide into the hair with a waving motion using the whole hand and then release at the crown.
6. Apply 1 drop of /skin regimen/ Blend to 3 points: upper arm, forearm and between the thumb and index finger
7. Scapula-chest stretch and sweep down the arm.
8. Vibrational movements on the outer arm, 9 times at each point. Repeat on the inner arm.
9. Rolling, squeezing all the way down the arm and then back up again.
10. Sweep down the arm using both hands from shoulder to fingertips.
11. With one hand pressing the palm into the bed, use the other hand to sweep up the inside of the arm from the hands towards the underarm.
Repeat steps 6 - 11 on the other side.
Cleansing.
Have a bowl prepared with warm water to use for the cleansing step and the hot caby prepared with clean, damp face towels. Mix a pea-sized amount of /skin regimen/ Cleansing Cream in your palms with a little water and apply to the face, neck and décolleté.
Keep adding generous amounts of water and massage into the skin with wave-like motions to thoroughly cleanse. For the eyes, we recommend a gentle eye make-up remover.
1. Apply the /skin regimen/ Cleansing Cream with waving, rotating movements, one area at a time.
Step 2
Toning
It is now time to apply the /skin regimen/ Microalgae Essence.
Once it is well-absorbed, proceed with the Rolling Roulage. Inspired by physiotherapeutic techniques, it stimulates microcirculation, decontracts the facial muscles, deeply oxygenates and detoxifies while stimulating collagen and elastin production. This phase will take between 5 – 7 minutes according to the size of the face.
1. Apply a small amount of the /skin regimen/ Microalgae Essence to the palms and press into the skin with the palms and then the fingertips, working upwards.
2. Rolling Roulage: start on one side of the face with vertical roulage movements working from the neck towards the forehead.
3. Then proceed with horizontal roulage movements working from the center of the face outwards. Repeat on the other side of the face.
Steps 2 & 3 on the other side of the face.
Step 3
Peeling
Now that the skin has been cleansed and revitalized, it is time to apply the peeling to stimulate the cellular turnover. Apply the /skin regimen/ Acid Preparator to the face, neck and décolleté with a cotton pad. Apply the /skin regimen/ Face Renewer to the same areas with a brush. Leave to process for maximum 10 minutes, and carry out the following movements:
1. Rocking movements on the trapezius. Repeat 9 times.
2. Embrace the shoulders, push down and glide down with pressure in the thumbs and pull and rotate. Repeat 9 times.
3. Facing the client, pull towards you with alternating hands from the neck. Repeat the same movement on the other side of the neck 9 times.
Remove the peel with a cool, damp towel. Apply the /skin regimen/ Neutralizer to face, neck and décolleté with cotton pads.
4. Warm 2 drops of /skin regimen/Blend in your hands, ask the guest to inhale while your hands gently move close to the nose.
