I can't wait to hear ideas too! What about waxing, makeup applications or some type of paraffin treatment?

My first thought is brow shaping/waxing.  Good Luck!

I recently did a beauty event at a retirement center.  I offered hand treatments, makeup touchup and "discreet hair removal".  Since I didn't have water, I had a crockpot of hot towels for hand treatments - cleanse/exfoliate, hydrating mask & moisturize/SPF.  For my discreet hair removal (who wants to have their chin hairs plucked in front of people?) I had a folding screen set up.  Many of those ladies aren't able to see all those rascally hairs.

 

I decided not to do waxing because I didn't know if I would have the time for a full consultation: medications, etc.  I did do tweezing, but didn't want to lift skin if someone was on a medication that I didn't have the time to research.

Please let us know what you decide!  Sounds like fun.

As far a waxing, couldn't you just bring waxing consent forms for them to fill out?

Though you might want something other than massage... the hand part of hand and arm massage (often used in a facial) with a nice hand cream can go over well.

A makeup finishing touch - lip color and blush...you could add a little shadow on the eyes...talk colors that contour and highlight.

A quick brow grooming (just the stork scissors and brow brush) add a touch of brow color if needed. 

Or...you could do a brow wax depending on how much time you want to spend with a person. Will you have a table or chair that reclines some?

Some wet-ones type wipes on hand and the usual disposables.

 

Have fun!

Sugar Scrub on the back of hands. Then remove with wet towel!

I like Jills idea of the sugar scrub for the hands/arms followed by hot towels, then just slather with your favorite cream or sun protection to finish it all off.  Great way to remind the girls about skin cancer protection!

What if you set up a skin scanner so that people can see first hand the damage they have on their skin then, follow it up with a skin care treatment analysis based on what their skin care/corrective needs are along with a discount coupon for a corrective facial treatment at your business in the near future?

Eyebrow design, treading or tweezing, facial waxing, paraffin hands treatments, Makeup applications and fake eyebrow applications: all can be done with no running water. PS: There is cold wax for hair removal that works great even on hairy men arms, so no burning risks.

Really great question and my apologies for the extremely late response.  I recently started participating in this blog.  I use a 'manual microdermabrasion' treatment that cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin in one application.  You may email me for information.  This is a product that I formulate and market.  I am not sure what the rules are for this site regarding posting one's own products.
