Refresh Skin Spa - Products We Use

​

In order to ensure that my clients have incredible skin, I believe it is important to use the best products available. I also believe in using eco-friendly products whenever possible and strive to produce a minimal amount of waste while adhering to the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle. I have refined my practices over the years to tread as lightly on the earth as possible, which makes me very proud.

 

DERMALOGICA

When Dermalogica meets skin, skin health is redefined. Dermalogica is the number one choice of skin care professionals and consumers worldwide. Dermalogica uses ingredients that they know will work – their confidence founded by skin care professionals who use their products in their treatment rooms every day because they get results.

In 1986, Dermalogica was born. The vision was clear – a product line free of common irritants and ingredients that could cause breakouts (including lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors and fragrances) that would improve skin health, and were only available from qualified skin care professionals trained at The International Dermal Institute.

Education first

While the Dermalogica story begins in 1986, the force of change in the industry started in Los Angeles, circa 1983. Jane Wurwand, a tenured, United Kingdom-trained skin therapist new to the American "esthetician" industry, recognized that continuing skin and body therapy education was practically non-existent in the United States. While her training had been comprehensive and serious, US students entered the industry licensed yet under-trained, and worse, under-respected.

Jane put her education in action, opening a small classroom in Marina del Rey, California under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI). She invited licensed skin therapists to get hands-on with the postgraduate training so critical to making them competitive in the business. Today, IDI is considered the international gold-standard for postgraduate skin and body therapy training with 37 locations worldwide.

JANE IREDALE

We wanted to add a makeup line for face, eyes and lips that continues to benefit your skin health by using clean, nourishing and fortifying ingredients.  jane iredale offers natural skincare formulas and multitasking mineral makeup that are high-performance, clean and cruelty-free—providing effective, targeted solutions for a healthy, radiant complexion.

 

NUFREE NUDESSE

Nufree Nudesse is a medical grade soy-based hair removal product. It is anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. Because of this, it eliminates the chance of staph-bacteria thriving in the product. I believe this is the best hair removal product on the market and happy to offer it to my clients.

 

FINIPIL

Finipil is a post hair removal treatment product. It protects against ingrown hairs, kills 99.9% of germs, protects the empty hair follicle, shrinks pore size and slows down hair growth. As a bonus, it feels great after a hair removal service with its instant cooling effect. This is recommended as a post hair removal home product, especially after bikini waxes as they are most prone to ingrown hairs.

 

PLUMB GENIUS

This is an at-home post hair removal product. It prevents bumps associated with hair removal, ingrown hairs and minor skin irritations. I recommend this product in conjunction with Finipil, especially for bikini waxing. My favorite part is that it comes in a convenient roll-on applicator.
