AS SEEN ON TV at ROGERS TV - FILORGA ANTI-AGING MOISTURIZERS OFFER BOTOX LIKE RESULTS IN A JAR.

FILORGA - shopping counter at Holt Renfrew Center in Bloor-Yorkville. 

This counter is beautifully designed and arranged in a way that each skincare product system is displayed in a fashionable manner. The counter also carries the skincare line called; "Skin Perfusion" which is the one that is used inside the treatment room to perform the anti-aging skin treatments. 

At the end of my facial, I received a goodie-bag with a 1 week supply of three anti-wrinkle treatments along with a 20ml sample of MESO+ Absolute wrinkle serum. 

Thank you to the Beauty Advisor, Renee for an amazing experience and gift. She can be reached for more information about any FILORGA product lines and skin treatment bookings at; Tel: 416-922-2333 (ext.21322)

Cryotherapy Treatment

I am a truly advocate of getting monthly skin care treatments since one single treatment can make such a difference on the way your skin looks and feels and have a big impact on your overall well-being. Most spa skin treatments include a face, neck and shoulder massage which helps alleviate muscle tension, relieve stress giving you a more relaxed, youthful and radiant appearance. 

The treatment I received by the lovely esthetician, started out with a thorough product explanation of the line of products that are used during the treatment. 

SKIN PERFUSION serums are massaged into the skin by using a "cryolift" machine to further the penetration of the serums into deeper layers of the skin with the aim to target and correct specific skin conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, dry skin and brown spots. While the serums are being infused into the skin, there is a cooling effect on the skin's surface which stimulates circulation and helps to detoxify the skin from within for a more radiant and healthy looking skin. Each treatment is customized and layered with a combination of 5 different Professional Skin Perfusion serums available to suit the client's needs and specific concerns.

As part of the anti-aging skin treatment, there is also an application of a skin hydrating masque that adds extra hydration to the skin's surface and also furthers penetration of the serums application into deeper layers of the skin.

FILORGA UNVEILS INNOVATIVE SKINCARE PRODUCTS 
NOW AVAILABLE IN CANADA

NUTRI-FILLER: day-time moisturizer. Retail Price: $95.00 for 50ml.
SKIN-ABSOLUTE: night-time moisturizer. Retail Price: $195.00 for 50ml.
RETAILERS: Holt Renfrew, Nordstrom, Murale & Shoppers Drug Mart.

I received these products early this Fall and I am extremely happy with how the products perform on the skin. I am personally all about cream textures and  natural cosmetic scents. Both day and night-time FILORGA moisturizers contain Hyaluronic Acid and NCTF (New Cellular Treatment Factor) complex which mimics the same results of an aesthetic solution found in acid-based injectable products such as "fillers".  

For anyone looking for a "non-surgical" cosmetic anti-aging solution without the negative side-effects and downtime recovery, I highly recommend using both moisturizers. The best part is when you purchase any two FILORGA skincare products, you will receive a complimentary facial.  For more product information and treatment bookings, please contact Beauty Advisor Renee at Tel: (416) 922-2333 (ext.21322)

How To Sell, Promote and Educate Skin Care Products to a Customer

Learn What Your Clients Really Want

Written by  Monique Enriquez, C.N.H.P. 

When it comes to skin care needs and solutions to skin issues, the professional needs to find out what a client actually “wants versus needs.” In our industry, the focus will be a skin care product or treatment that is needed to solve a problem that fulfills a want, such as glowing skin. But first, the difference between a want and a need should be understood.

Wants Versus Needs – What is the Difference? 

For the most part, a “want” is something that is desired to a great extent but may not be exactly what it is needed to solve a problem. Wanting something in the skin care and beauty industry is often wanted after seeing an advertisement in a magazine, television commercial, or social media source. It can also be desired by hearing other people’s conversations, recommendations, and satisfying personal experiences from using certain products or brands. But how do we know what a client really wants and how does this translate for the skin care professional taking action to fulfill that want? 

A client will often have in mind exactly what they want to buy and may ask for a professional’s opinion if they feel unsure about the product. Psychologically, we tend to create personal attachment or get emotionally connected to things and people in a very quick and easy way. So how does this affect somebody’s “purchasing power” and decision to buy a skin care product or service? There are ways a skin care professional can persuade a client to make the best choice that will satisfy what they really want.

Approach the Client with Open-Ended Dialogue

First off, the skin care professional needs to connect with the client by creating an “open-ended dialogue,” which will position the professional as an expert in the industry. Taking on the right personal approach and asking the right questions is the key to building trust and recognition, thus allowing the professional to persuade the client to buy the products and services needed to get what they really want. This, in turn, will facilitate more flexibility on their part and more opportunity for the professional to upsell, gain a new client, or get a referral after the purchase.

Impulse Buyers

Once the client is interested in the proposed recommendations and ready to purchase, the skin care professional’s next goal should be about discerning whether the purchase that is about to take place is based on “impulse buying” to quickly satisfy an immediate want, or the right product to meet the client’s need. This will oftentimes require quick thinking on the skin care professional’s part and may not be an easy job when the work is in a fast-paced, busy environment that involves doing various tasks simultaneously. The professional may also find themselves with limited time for conversation in between clients. What is an effective system and personal approach that will give clients what they really want?

A Holistic Approach

I recommend taking a customized, holistic approach to “skin health” versus just a commodity, mass-brand type of selling approach. By having a system in place, professionals can successfully take care of their clients’ needs and give them what they really want. The client then receives educational and valuable information that provide results and solutions to their problems. There are four main questions to include in a client’s purchasing experience:

First, what is the skin health issue or problem? Find out what the main skin care problem is. Focus on one issue at a time and provide product and service benefits and features. Eighty percent should be placed on benefits and 20 percent on features. 

Ask about the client’s current skin care regimen and how long they have been doing it. Become aware of any contraindications or allergic reactions to product ingredients. Find out what their favorite products are and why they love them. Discover if they are willing to commit to a customized home care program that requires three to five products to give them the results they really want. Create urgency, provide realistic results, and do a thorough demonstration on how to use and apply products.

Second, what are the client’s main concerns and symptoms? People will not seek a solution until their pain is no longer bearable, or they have just had enough of what they really do not want in their lives. Learn to become an effective listener, not judge, and be compassionate and careful with your words during conversations with clients. Focusing on the visible symptoms of a client or prospect is a good start to solving the root cause of the problem. Knowledge about skin types, conditions, and active ingredients will facilitate a prompt decision on the skin care professional’s part with the right choice of products and services for the client.

Finding a solution together is a great way to build trust and a relationship with a client. Getting the client involved in the decision making of their products will ensure they have made the best decision and their problems are solved.

Next, what is the client’s self-care and lifestyle like on a daily basis and what role does the skin care professional play in this case? Doing a general nutrition, lifestyle, and mental state of mind assessment of a client can always shed light into what is going on inside their body and why they are suffering from it. If a skin care professional’s understanding of what a client is going through is within their scope of knowledge and expertise, the professional should kindly offer advice and tips that the client can take home and practice. As an added bonus during the assessment, I recommend building a strong network of related health care practitioners and therapists that, if needed, can be recommend. 

Going the extra mile in any product or service-based business is a bonus a clients appreciate. It is also a great way to stand out from competitors offering the same products or services.

Continuing education is mandatory to stay on top of current trends, products, gadgets, and services that can better the lives of clients and increase a business’ sales. Such information can easily be accessed online through various means of social media outlets and by engaging in webinars and blog posts. A few key skin care and beauty industry influencers should be followed online and they can subscribe to the professional’s weekly or monthly newsletters for articles and tips about skin care, beauty, wellness, health, and nutrition.

Finally, what is the client’s ultimate expectation of the product or treatment? The answer is simple. The client is hoping that it works and does what it was promised to do. Skin care professionals may be hesitant about a client’s homecare routine, but at this point, it is the client’s responsibility. It is sometimes unpredictable whether a client will use all the products or if they will not follow the instructions correctly and have an adverse reaction instead. But in any case, skin care professionals should always suggest that they reach out to them if they have any questions. And as every skin care professional knows, a follow-up call after a few days is a good way to touch base and see how the client feels about their purchase.

In point, the longevity of a skin care professional’s work, combined with the right attitude and industry experience, will dictate their own earnings and the profitability of their business. By learning what clients really need versus what they want, a professional can stay above competitors by making more profits, keeping existing clients happy, and obtaining new clients through referrals.

MONIQUE'S CLIENTS

MOST DESIRED AND POPULAR SKIN RESURFACING SYSTEM SERIES 

GIVES YOU NOTICEABLE RESULTS IN JUST 6 WEEKS

DERMALOGICA Skin Care Products is the number once choice of Skin Care Professionals worldwide. It offers treatment-specific regimes focused on skin aging, brightening and hyperpigmentation, adult acne and shaving skin care needs for men.

LADIES

WANT A FAST, YET SAFE WAY TO GET HEALTHY GLOWING LOOKING SKIN 

VISIBLE RESULTS AFTER ONE TREATMENT INCLUDE: 1. Softened fine lines 2. Evened out skin tone and texture 3.Decreased congestion 3.Minimized appearance of pore size 4.Hydrated and brightened skin 5.NO post-treatment peeling or inflammation

LOOK GOOD & FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE CONDITION OF YOUR SKIN

Dermalogica offers an effective new Active Resurface35 treatment skin care series that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation, blemishes and dry skin in just 45 minutes. Its unique and powerful cocktail of active ingredients is clinically tested to stimulate cell renewal and cell turnover to give you glowing, younger looking skin. 

While other skin resurfacing treatments and chemical peels are often abrasive on the skin leading to inflammation, peeling and down time, Dermalogica's Exfoliant Accelerator35-an AHA-BHA concentrate contains lactic and salicylic acids to smooth out skin and enzymes to boost exfoliation while peptides enhance the synthesis or collagen and elastin in the dermal layer.

The treatment offers three strength levels, Power Active, Intensive Active and Ultimate Active. Each level offers three exfoliations with a mix of two professional physical and chemical exfoliants- while cleansing, during the main exfoliation and at the removal phase of the treatment. The exfoliant strength level for a client will be determined by the Dermalogica Skin Expert after a detailed "face mapping" analysis has been conducted and all the client's questions and concerns have been addressed. 

If you find yourself trying numerous skin treatments and still not notice a difference on the health of your skin, the wrong prescription of skin care products and frequency of and strength level of exfoliant could be the culprit. The key to glowing and healthy looking skin is to find a qualified professional skin therapist who will; 

1. Listen to your skin concerns and help you create a customized daily skin care plan that works for you

2. Talk to you about the importance of daily skin care and frequent professional skin care treatments

3. Teach you about the importance of active ingredients, having the right skin care products, knowing the right amouns and layering of products on the skin.

4. Offers you advice on Nutrition and Lifestyle tips to help you improve your skin health from the inside out

5.  Recommends holistic skin care therapies that complement your treatments to help you relax, de-stress and feel rejuvenated. 

6. Makes you feel confident by making you looking good, feel good and help you put your best face forward and version of yourself out to the world.  

MY STORY.....

Once I reached my mid-thirties, I really started seeing changes in my skin related to sun exposure and lifestyle habits. Growing up as a child in the 80's, there was not much "Suncare Skin Education" as it is now and you were exposed to many more extrinsic factors like second hand smoking in public places, less organic foods available etc... Fast forward 3 decades later of my life, and in 2012 that's when my "AHA Moment" took place, I found myself suffering from sun spots, more occasional mild stress breakouts, dehydrated skin and fine lines. After trying various spa skin treatments and commercial skin care lines with little success or no visible short-term improvements, I began to do research for a "Dermatological" skin care brand and professional treatments that would help me deal my skin health woes.

      

I visited the Dermalogica Institute in Toronto which ended up becoming my new hot spot for continuing learning education as a Skin Therapist and Holistic Health Practitioner which I have been practicing for the last 10 years. After my first guest class orientation, I fell in love with the skin center and its instructors, and that's when everything changed for me. Over the next six months, I modified my skin care regime, learnt about "layering" products, "Cosmeceuticals" and its active ingredients and got on a consistent daily skin care regime and monthly professional skin care treatments.

My training experience with the number one choice of skin care professionals worldwide left me feeling a lot better about my skin conditions and ignited my passion for helping others with their own skin health challenges. After becoming a Dermalogica Skin Expert, I knew that I wanted to empower, educate and inspire men and women about Holistic Skin Health, Cosmeceutical skin care products and non-surgical professional skin care treatments so they can "feel better" about themselves and "look better" by putting their best face forward! 

Following, I will take you through Dermalogica's Anti-aging Skin Resurfacing Series, a six  week skin care plan that will help you achieve healthy, glowing and younger looking skin :

Week 1 & 2 

 First level of Exfoliation: "Power Active"

Week 3 & 4

 Second level of Exfoliation: "Intensive Active"

Week 5 

 If needed, a "Hydro Plus Treatment" - the focus is on hydration, calming and soothing the skin barrier. Best suited for a customer who is contraindicated to exfoliation.

Week 5 & 6 
   Will finish off series with the third level of Exfoliation: "Ultimate Active"

THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR PERSONAL LIFESTYLES.....

We in a society that offers us an incredible amount of information, products and practitioners at the touch of a button. Our lifestyle including mine, is go-go, multiple projects on the works, gym, studying, friends, family, social events and the list goes on... Puff... Puff... Eventually all leading to burnout, sickness, skin conditions and an overwhelming feeling of disappointment when these happen. 

When this happens we need to realize a few things:

1. First, do not be so hard on yourself

2. Learn to listen to your body

3. Slow down, Balance is key for any successful individual 

4. Be thankful and learn to appreciate yourself better

5. Take time to relax, breathe deeply, and develop good sleeping habits 

6. Avoid excessive drinking, smoking, harmful substances and over-medicating

7. Deal with your problems in a positive way, seek help with a Professional Therapist or Counselor

So you may be asking yourself  how you can choose a Spa treatment(s) that is suitable for your needs? 

A professional Spa Therapist will do a thorough consultation prior to the skin or body treatment and according to her results, she will either go ahead and perform what you are booked in for, she may do some tweaking or offer you a complete different treatment. The important thing is that you communicate to the therapist, how you are feeling and what you are expecting to get out of the treatment.

Here is a short list of skin and body conditions you can use to book your appointments during Toronto's Spa Week. If you would like to be one of my VIP clients, you can BOOK an appointment with me by filling out the form on the highlighted link.
