Educational Documents
There has been a small few on this forum who have requested some of my educational documents and literature, which is very cool - to say the least. :) I worked long, long hours on them and the main purpose was to give them away and let others learn from them and also to help me make them better. With that said, my diagram of the skin has been emailed to a few and the request came up that if I had more, please post them. So here they are! What I will do is attach the PDF and if you like it and want a copy please respond to the post with your email and I will send it to you. I welcome all thoughts and ideas and again thank you for wanting them. I will post a few a day...

Cosmeceutical?
A question that I get asked a lot from 'new' skin care pros is what does it actually mean and where did the name come from. To make things easier I wrote my researched answer down and the attached is what I came up with. I learned early on in my career the difference between fact and fiction within the skin care industry and this really helped to guide my understanding of what is possible vs what is marketing.

So, I just gave a talk on this at a local Esthetics school and the students had never even heard the term cosmeceutical. When I explained the bumpkiss, the teacher disagreed with me. I asked for her documentation. It was bad Marty. Very very Bad....

Bad as in how?
Here is the deal with me. :) I never quote from the internet. I never read the internet. Of course that is not 100% true but trying to make a point. BUT...
If I do, what I read has to be backed by medical within the US or outside, and with several sources. If I do not have the medical then I have to have peer review or something from medical journals or some written publication from a college or research hospital on or off a university.
With that said: I am shocked but not surprised they have never heard the term: Cosmeceutical
Its funny cause its a made up name but does have a purpose within skin care care. No real medical board approved it or ? Its marketing, pure and simple.
My only question would be how did she disagree with you because you can research this all day long with a simple google search.

Cosmeceutical is recognized by the American Academy of Dermatology. Is that not medical?

NO.
The term cosmeceutical is a made up word that describes a product that acts on the skin but does not break the law. The FDA sets the law. If you want to discuss outside the LAW then that is one thing but if you want to keep within the LAWS that govern our society and this industry then you must consider the law in your statements or descriptions.
The FDA is very clear on what makes a drug vs everything and what is considered a medical device and what is considered NOT a medical device. There is extensive documentation on the FDA website that describes exactly what I am talking about.
Cosmeceutical although recognized by the American Academy of Dermatology does not make it pass LAW and as such based on the higher governing power of the FDA, does not.
We live in a society that creates opportunities for everyone but everyone must still apply the legal boundaries that govern how we we work and live our lives. In this case the FDA cannot tell us or the industry we cannot use a word to describe a grey area and that is exactly what the term "cosmeceutical" does. If the FDA wanted to which they don't, they could shut down the skin care industry within weeks by forcing the legal description of their term "medical device" upon the mfgrs in the United States and me and every line including mine would be gone or would have to change dramatically.

The attached PDF, taken from the Serene 'Professional Manual' shows some really cool pictures and explains what they are. I am sure many have not seen these pictures and probably do not know what they from a first glance but I did my best with as little words as possible to explain in detail what is happening. After all its in the manual so I hope its good. But if you have a questions please ask, I will do my best.

When I first received my introduction to the 'Fitzpatrick Scale' I was told that it would be the most important thing to me regarding the skin and this business. Honestly I did not believe it but now I do! I came up with this chart for new skin care pros to not only learn the scale but also so they could have a client record to record with. This scale is the standard in the business, nothing new from me, I only made it larger and easier to read with added color.

When I talk with new skin care professionals, a common thing keeps coming up: How do I assess a person skin? This issue goes right in line with the Fitz scale but I thought there was much more so I came up with a way to always remember what it is that your trying to get from the client on first view or first visit.
It's called 'The Onion Skin' method of skin classification. Sounds a little funny, I know, but it really gives new skin care pros a way to remember exactly what information they need to gather to treat their clients skin. Everything is important and sometimes the smallest detail can be the difference between success, and well, not so much success. I hope you like it and it gives good advice.
