Happy Movember! Tame the man mane as he grows out that beard and stache with a luxurious, beard-conditioning treatment facial.
Always be sure to assess the skin using the Osmosis Face Mapping technique before performing the facial to identify any presenting conditions. The protocol may be customized depending on varying conditions and skin type.
Step 1. Cleanse skin with Deep Clean to rid the skin of excess dirt and oil. Lather the product in your hands and apply to skin, then remove gently with a warm towel or sponges.
Step 2. Give the skin a second cleanse with Purify to prepare the skin for gentle exfoliation. Gently lay a hot towel, being careful not to press into the skin, and remove when it becomes lukewarm in temperature, removing any remaining product with it. The hot towels warm the skin and help loosen debris in the pores.
Step 3. Gently exfoliate with a mixture of 1/2 pump of Polish, our enzyme firming mask, and 1/2 pump of Repair to improve immunity and rebuild the barrier. Massage into the skin for 2 to 3 minutes, until no more slip. Then, gently place a hot towel on the skin, removing it when it becomes lukewarm in temperature. Massage another minute, and remove any remaining product if necessary.
*Extractions may be done in this step. Spray Clear to entire face to provide healing and antibacterial benefits.
Step 4. In your hand, mix a dime to nickel size of Orange Zest Mask with 2 pumps of Resuce, giving the skin a boost of vitamin C and toxin-neutralizing epidermal repair qualities. Apply and massage until there's no more slip. Then, gently lay a hot towel, being careful to not push into the skin. The hot towel will increase circulation and facilitate absorption. Remove towel and any remaining product when it becomes lukewarm in temperature.
Step 5. Spray the face with Clear, containing anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial frequencies to soothe and activate repair.
Step 6. Cocktail 1 pump of Replenish with 1 pump of Catalyst AC-11 as a preventative measure against free-radicals as well as encouragement for the skin to increase collagen and elastin production.
Step 7. Apply 1 pump of Clear (or Clear Plus+) to assist the delivery of your serums, and massage until no more slip.
Step 8. Apply 1 pump of Immerse to the face and beard. This rich, emu oil based moisturizer, will hydrate and condition the beard with raspberry oil, vitamin E, and calendula. Thoroughly massage into the skin and beard for a glowing complexion.
Step 9. Top off the facial with Protect. This every day wear, ultra-sheer spf 30 sunscreen will keep skin healthy and protected from UVA/UVB damage.
Help male clients support a healthy, smooth beard this month as they participate in No-Shave November!
*We ask that you don’t shave 24 hours before your treatment.*
Men everywhere, it's time to put those razors down for the month! No-shave November, or Movember, has a much more significant meaning than just growing out that beard or mustache for kicks and giggles. Participating in this widely popular tradition by growing out facial hair is helping to bring awareness to men's health! According to the No-Shave November Foundation, the idea is for men to take the money they're saving from the barber or store-bought razors and donating it to men's health research and to help aid those battling. So, cancel your trips to the barber, we want to see that stache! And as it grows in, might as well make it look great too! We have just the tools you need to help you channel your inner DiCaprio and bring in a dapper beard that will stay in tip-top shape all month long.
Groom & Wash.
If you're new to the facial hair world, you may not know that it needs some love too. To let your beard grow without grooming could result in course, unruly hair. be sure to keep it clean by lathering with a natural cleanser, like Deep Clean (or Purify for a little extra exfoliating power), in the shower and give it a good scrub to rid it of excess oil and keep it free of dirt and debris from the day.
Gently Exfoliate.
This step is especially important when the facial hair is first coming in. Often times, stubble can lead to ingrown hairs that leave the skin itchy and irritated. Polish is a gentle, cranberry enzyme mask that rids the surrounding follicles of dead skin, promoting a healthy, smooth, itch-free feel and appearance!
Immerse with Conditioner.
The final step to keeping your beard or mustache soft and touchable (key for Movember, right?) is to treat it with a conditioning oil. This will help tame the mane keeping it hydrated and smooth. Immerse is a rich, oil-based moisturizer that will both hydrate and condition while providing a splash of vitamins and antioxidants.
Embrace your manliness this November, go forth with gusto and bring on that beard like a boss! Knowing that you're doing it for a great cause can be your driving force, then back it up with the supplies needed to tame the man mane.
