Hyaluronic Acid
What is it?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the skin that has the ability to retain up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a powerful moisturizer.
Why suggest it?
In summer, skin is often exposed to conditions that promote dehydration, such as the sun and heat. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain optimal hydration, plumping skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines. It is also excellent for improving skin texture, making it smoother and softer.
How to integrate it?
- In-booth treatments: Offer hyaluronic acid-based moisturizing treatments, such as intensive hydrating serums and masks. Treatments can include hyaluronic acid infusions for an intense hydration boost and visibly plumper skin.
- At-home products: Recommend serums and creams containing hyaluronic acid for daily use. These products will help your customers maintain optimal hydration between in-booth treatments.
Vitamin C
What is it?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radical damage and stimulates collagen production.
Why suggest it?
Exposure to the sun can lead to the formation of free radicals, which damage the skin and accelerate aging. Vitamin C helps protect the skin, brighten the complexion and reduce dark spots. It also promotes collagen production, essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
How to integrate it?
- Cabin treatments: Use vitamin C serums in your facial treatments to revitalize the skin and strengthen its defense against environmental aggressors. Treatments can include massages with vitamin C-based products to maximize absorption and effectiveness.
- At-home products: Offer vitamin C serums for daily use. These products help maintain the results of in-booth treatments and protect the skin from external aggressors.
Aloe Vera
What is it?
Aloe vera is a plant known for its soothing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Why suggest it?
After exposure to the sun, skin can become irritated and dehydrated. Aloe vera helps to soothe sunburn, reduce redness and provide refreshing hydration. It's ideal for calming skin after a day in the sun and preventing long-term damage.
How to integrate it?
- In-booth treatments: Use aloe vera gels in your after-sun treatments. Offer treatments that include aloe vera masks or wraps to soothe and moisturize skin after a day in the sun.
- At-home products: Recommend aloe vera-based gels or lotions for use after sun exposure. These products will help your customers maintain soft, soothed skin.
Probiotics
What is it?
Probiotics are beneficial micro-organisms that help balance the skin's microbiome.
Why suggest it?
Temperature changes and increased exposure to the outside environment can upset the skin's natural balance. Probiotics help strengthen the skin barrier and prevent irritation and inflammation. They play a crucial role in maintaining healthy, resistant skin.
How to integrate it?
- In-booth treatments: Offer treatments using products containing probiotics to restore and maintain skin health. Facials with probiotic masks can offer restorative and soothing benefits.
- At-home products: Encourage the use of creams and serums containing probiotics to help your customers maintain a balanced skin microbiome.
Solar Filters
What are they?
Sun filters are active ingredients that protect the skin from the sun's UVA and UVB rays.
Why suggest it?
Sun protection is essential to prevent skin damage, premature aging and the risk of skin cancer. An effective sunscreen is the first line of defense against the sun's harmful effects.
How to integrate it?
- In-cabin treatments: End each treatment with the application of sunscreen to immediately protect your customers' skin. Offer consultations to educate your customers on the importance of daily sun protection.
- At-home products: Recommend broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30 for daily use. Provide options for different skin types and lifestyles.
