All winter long, estheticians in spas all over the country have been taking advantage of the shorter days of winter so they can perform strong exfoliating treatments on their clients. Jessner’s Peels, TCA Peels, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion have been the go-to exfoliating treatment to help treat hyperpigmentation, acne and pre-mature aging. However, with the longer days of spring/summer and clients spending more time in the sun, those treatments will slow down dramatically.
Spring is a time for estheticians to shift their focus to a nurturing theme for spring.. Helping your spa clients nurture their skin with antioxidant & peptide infused facials is a great focus. One key area that can drive your spa’s retail revenues is to discuss gentle forms of manual exfoliation in their home care routine. During the winter months this may not have been a focus of home care because of the more aggressive treatments they’ve been receiving from you.
Remind your clients to spring clean their skin a few times per week during their home care routine with a good facial scrub. You can even start that discussion during your facial treatments. Be sure to have a high quality facial scrub on your back bar. As you’re massaging the scrub on their skin you can remind them how important it is to whisk away the surface debris and dead skin cells on a regular basis during their home care routine.
