Nature vs. Machine
Does any one recommend using electrical modalities (galvanic and ultrasonic, especially) in conjunction with "natural/organic" products, or even home-made masks?
Who here runs a pure "natural/organic" spas (sans machines)?
Can anyone recommend any "natural/organic" skin care lines (ex. Aveda, Eminence, etc.)

Hi Cat,
Most organic lines can be compatible with equipment. The questions to ask is this product designed to be penetrated into the skin. Usually serums and ampoules are the items that are used with a machine like galvanic current. A lot of "natural" lines really are not that natural when you look at ingredients. A lot will say fragrance free but then use a fragrance ingredient as a preservative.
The only professional lines I am familiar with are; eminence, Ilke, Hauschka, dr. spillar, tao and YUM. I know there is more out there. Good luck!

Thank you for clearing that up. I'm currently thinking about trying some home-made skin care recipes and someday integrating them into my studies in holistic nutrition.

Hi Cat,
The Grapeseed Co. Is worth looking into if you are interested in a cleaner product. It's a simple line with great ingredients from the earth and they are very open about the ingredients they use. The website has a page dedicated to sharing all ingredients and what they are used for. It's a company based on vinotherapy which is a neat concept that you should check out as well. thegrapeseedcompany.com. I work in a holistic therapy center and the clientele there love it. The founder of the company also has a skin care blog where she shares home recipe ideas, relevant news articles and more...
Let me know what you think.
Melissa

Thank you for suggesting The Grapeseed Co.! I'm liking it already!
How is it like working in a holistic therapy center? What kind of people do you see every day?

Hi Debra, I just became a NYR Organic Consultant. I think it is a wonderful company and the products are awesome. Are you using it on your back bar as well?

Happy to hear it! The clientele at the center I am at are all ages but very educated on health topics, very health minded and definitely label readers which is why I chose the products I did. It's great conversation and nice to exchange health related info. Making your own masks would really appeal to them and maybe if you get set up in that type of atmosphere you could host workshops on homemade masks, scrubs, etc. I like your plan to integrate everything.

Cat, You can use galvanic with pure pure hydrosols. Moisten a guaze 4x4 with the hydrosol and run the galvanic over the top on the postitive mode.

I do an all organic line and also use LED, galvanic, Micro current, and High Frequency. Oh! and it's FANTASTIC with the skin scrubber! I use this on EVERY client and it makes a difference. I live in a very woodsy, artistic area and this facial is a HIGH seller!!!!
