It’s no secret that Eminence Organic Skin Care offers results-oriented professional treatments. However, to maximize these results, effective home care products are also necessary. When trying to determine the best treatments for your clients, there are some clear home care pairings that complement spa products, as well as some hidden gems. Read on for our recommendations for the best products to combine with professional treatments for a longer-lasting face or body treatment.
Long-lasting facial treatments
Professional facial treatments it’s an essential ingredient to accelerate progress and achieve your skin care goals. An at-home skin care routine is important to extend these treatments and is even more essential if spa visits are infrequent.
As the ultra-bright results from a facial only last for about 30 days, a thorough home care routine will keep the progression moving forward rather than retreat, ensuring that customers in a Eminence Organic Spa Partner see results. Other tips to help support a professional treatment include:
- Increase water intake: A facial is like a workout for your skin and like any workout, hydration is key. Drink plenty of water before and after a facial is key to healthy skin and is especially important if steam or heat is used as part of the treatment.
- Using SPF: It goes without saying that SPF is needed daily, but it’s even more important after a facial. It may seem obvious, but SPF is a critical part of a facial’s aftercare as skin can be more sensitive—especially if the facial includes chemical peels or strong active ingredients.
- Skipping immediate exfoliation: Most likely, a person incorporates some level of exfoliation that is deeper than at-home exfoliation. In order to keep the skin healthy, clients should not exfoliate at home for two full days before and after the facial.
- Using mild products: Not only is it important to skip the exfoliation, but it is not recommended to use strong treatments, masks, cleansers or other active substances immediately before or after a facial exfoliation. Before and after, gentle products should be used to keep the skin balanced and strong.
Recommendations for every skin type
Now, let’s talk about product pairs. While a complete facial will typically consist of several professional products, the recommendations below match a professional product ideal for each skin type, along with retail products that perfectly support the treatment.
Sensitive skin
Since those with sensitive skin types are often hesitant to try a peel, a A chemical exfoliant is often milder and more suitable than a natural exfoliant. We recommend using Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% at the spa. This self-neutralizing peel is completely non-irritating and leaves the skin soft and smooth.
For home care, the Calm Skin Collection is great for soothing red, dry skin and keeping skin balanced. Specifically, the Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Cleanser, Calm Skin Chamomile Exfoliating Peel, and Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer are must-haves to tide customers over until their next facial. In addition to soothing dry skin, the Calm Skin Chamomile Exfoliating Peel will continue to remove dead skin cells, prolonging the feeling of smooth skin achieved by the Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10%.
Dry skin
Not only ideal for dry skin types, this combination will also work wonders people with dehydrated or tired skin. Starting with a classic, we recommend our AHA Fruit Pulp Treatment which contains lactic acid to gently exfoliate while moisturizing the skin with BioComplex.
For daily use at home, C+E Potent Citrus & Kale Serum and Sea Flower Peptide Night Cream will both provide full hydration for smoother skin. Plus, applying our decadent scent A strawberry rhubarb mask once or twice a week will leave skin firm and glowing.
Normal Skin
Those with a normal skin type may feel that they have too many options to choose from. For a noticeable glow and smaller pores, the Eminence Organics Mangosteen collection is sure. Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% will leave a youthful glow without interruption. At home, daily cleansing and conditioning with Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser and Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate perfectly complement professional conditioning, continuing to provide our exclusive Lactic acid complex between spa visits.
Combination or Oily Skin
Anyone with a combination or oily skin type who wants to reduce sebum while keeping skin hydrated will fall in love with Rose menthol treatment. This professional treatment invigorates the skin and contains moisturizing honey and cooling menthol.
If you’re dealing with pimples and blemishes, you may want to get an extraction at your nearest authorized Eminence Organics spa. If so, your esthetician is likely to use Charcoal & Black Seed Pro Desincrustation Gel, which is a deep cleansing treatment designed to soften the skin and prepare it for extractions. Desincrustation is a deep cleansing treatment that softens and emulsifies the sebum and keratin in the follicle.
To further keep the skin even and healthy, we recommend Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer and award-winning Facial Repair Oil. While the use of oil can warn those who have oily skin type, this product is suitable for all skin types and contains sage, which is ideal for balancing oil.
Recommendations for skin concerns
If there is a more specific concern or skin condition that needs to be addressed, there are many additional combinations available. Some of our most common requests are listed below.
Prone to outbreak
For those dealing with acne or pimples, the face can often seem scary as the skin can feel so reactive. A fantastic choice is the Pro Salicylic Acid Peel 15%, a concentrated peel that works to unclog pores and rejuvenate the skin’s appearance with encapsulated salicylic acid.
To treat and prevent acne at home, the Acne Advanced Treatment System provides daily cleansing, conditioning and hydration with full versions of the Advanced Cleansing Foam, Clarifying Masque and Clarifying Hydrator. A great addition to this regimen is the Clear Skin Willow Bark Exfoliating Peel. Used once or twice a week, this gentle peel helps reduce pore size and leaves skin smooth.
Uneven skin tone
Whether caused by dark spots, the sun, or a number of other factors, hyperpigmentation is a concern for many people. A fantastic professional treatment to help tackle the appearance of uneven skin tone is Eminence Organics Yam And Pumpkin Pro Enzyme Peel 20%. Packed with a blend of tangy and fresh ingredients (including pineapple, papaya, yam and pumpkin), this peel is a powerhouse treatment that will help reduce the appearance of dark spots.
To continue fighting the appearance of dark spots at home, we recommend a routine that incorporates the Bright Skin Licorice Root Exfoliating Peel, Bamboo Firming Fluid, and Bright Skin Overnight Corrective Cream. TIts combination will leave the skin looking even, firm and smoother until the next professional peel.
Signs of aging
Dealing with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can often feel overwhelming. To simplify the process, Arctic Berry products are an ideal choice. Starting with the Arctic Berry Pro Advanced Peel at the spa, skin will be deeply exfoliated and left visibly smooth and firm.
In between professional peelings, we recommend daily cleansing with Firm Skin Acai Cleanser and daily moisturizing with Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream. In addition, we recommend using the Arctic Berry Peel & Peptide Illuminating System followed by the Firm Skin Acai Masque every week. This combination will perfectly hydrate the skin while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping to maintain the results of the professional treatment.
Body treatment
With all the facial options mentioned, we can’t leave out the amazing collection of body products. We highly recommend the Coconut Sugar Scrub and Coconut Firming Body Lotion for home use. Coconut Sugar Scrub provides natural (no microbeads!) exfoliation. In collaboration with the Coconut Firming Body Lotion, it will soften the appearance of the skin and leave it firm and just as pampered as the face.
