Skin Script Skin Care

Regarding the question on what treatments to perform in summer - I will perform enzyme facials in the summer.  Use the coconut or the raspberry as they are the most mild enzymes.   Your consent should have a sentence about using SPF after their treatments.

Lisa- I bought the Raspberry Peach Enzyme once (awhile ago) and used it instead of Coconut Papaya but I didn't feel like I got the same results or even any difference. You know I love all your products so I want to love this one too. :) Am I missing something?

Hi Devyn:

That's exactly what the Raspberry is like - very mild.  If you want more exfoliation, boost it with either glycolic or lactic.  Add some microdermabrasion as well.

Lisa- I used to have a little blurb about SS on my website, but when I did some modifying I lost it and cannot find where I got it from now.  Just explains what the line is about in a nutshell.  Do you have something like that posted somewhere?  

Lisa, will you be introducing any new serums? Also, I just purchased a galvanic machine and was wondering if you had anything for desincrustation?

Lee:  Thank you for your kind comments and advice below!  As far as steamers/mag lamps, I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask.  One mag lamp I did love was Equipro - it never moved once I positioned it; however, it was $500.  A little pricey.

Lizabeth:  For desincrustration I use the retinol scrub under steam to soften blackhead/sebum for easier extractions.  No plans for a new serum right now.

Robin: You can refer to www.skinscriptrx.com for a blurb for your website, but here's something you may consider:

I had a client purchase the Pomegranate Cleanser and the Hydrating Moisturizer after her first time face wax with me. She wash/applied that night and when she awoke she felt her face warm but in a morning coma reapplied products. During the day she noticed she had broken out in hives. She has since discontinued use until her face recovers. She has no known allergies and I was wondering what your thoughts were that may have caused the reaction? My client and I both think it was the waxing, I believe it was her first time for full face is what caused the reaction and maybe the new products further irritated her skin? She was using baby wash soap to wash her face previously. 

Hi Lizabeth~ I am Director of Education for Skin Script and wanted to comment on your post. My thoughts are that what your client is experiencing is a post-waxing healing response. The Pomegranate Cleanser, Cucumber Hyrdating Toner and Ageless Hyrdating Serum should do the trick. Keep it gentle and light. Also, you might want to delve into the baby wash as sometime those types of products can be drying to the skin!

Lisa, my friend...can't wait to see you in Vegas next week. My booth is right down the isle from yours....I think close enough to wave at each other!! I'll definitely be using skin script products in my equipment demos and sending the gals down your way!

We will be in Booth 2114 (down the aisle from Shelley) and our class is Saturday, June 22 from 3-5 pm in Room S101.  See you there!

Hi Melissa.  Yes, the Blemish Cleanser can become drying.  What else do you have her on?  Is she using the Blemish Control Pads?  If so, those can be a culprit.  I like your thinking of alternating the Green Tea Cleanser in her routine.  Ensure you have her on a hydrating product, such as the Cucumber Toner or Ageless Hydrating Serum to compensate for any dryness.

I typically give mine away but I just purchased some to sell as summer travel kits too. 

I just ordered and received my SkinScript samples in the mail; I'm too excited and am totally about to try the blueberry facial on myself! :D

Hello everyone! Question- in the Skin Script facial protocols it says to use a steamer while the enzyme sits, in your experience, will there be lack of results if no steamer is used?

Hi Kelsie.  Steam will intensify the enzymes; however, if you prefer not to use steam, that is fine also, they are still active.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume Skin Script doesn't ship to Japan? My husband was given military orders today for us to move to Japan.

Hi Lee: Yes, you can do a final rinse with clear water.

Kelsie:  Please call the office directly at 480-543-1121 to discuss shipping options.

Hi Lisa V., Lee P., and all my other Esty friends. I was just curious. Why do you use baking soda? What are the benefits, and at what point of the facial would you incorporate it??

Hi Nikki:  Baking soda is used to neutralize products, such as glycolic and lactic peels.  To create a neutralization solution, blend one cup of water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.  Dip a 4x4 into the solution and remove the peel from the skin.  You asked "about what point of a facial would you use it".  Normally, you don't use it during a facial, unless the client becomes too tingly.  Please feel free to call me at 480-543-1121 if you have questions.

Oh okay! Thanks so much Lisa!  :)

I just had an old client reach out to me that she wants to come in.  This was an acne client that opted to take accutane as a last resort and has now been off for a month and would like to start treating her PIH and scarring.  Is a month long enough?  I was thinking about starting her slowly.  Should I start with an enzyme, maybe blueberry or lemon zest?  Then slowly work her into lactic peel, glycolic, and keep with those two and eventually a tca? 

Hi Sheila:  I would start with coconut or raspberry and see how she responds.  They say you should be off Accutane at least 6 months before any peels; however, I would start slow and gently progress.  I would have her try the Glycolic/Retinol pads at home to lift pigment; you'll have to see if she can tolerate those - adjust the usage based on sensitivity.

I have been working with a women for her pigmentation and firming of the skin for about 6 months we have done a series of 6 passion fruit facials the we went to the Lemonzest series for around 6 treatments she is using all the appropriate homecare products. the last 3 weeks i have addded lactic to the lemonzest. Her skin is definitely firmer and brighter and now noticing the larger spots breaking up. My question is how long can I keep treating her every week as she loves coming in and is noticing a difference. I was thinking of letting the skin rest and she continue her hme care and start the series tx and add the tca tx 

Thats what I thought...6 months.  Ok thanks Lisa!! 

Hi Cheryl:  I like your approach of letting the skin rest and then resuming with more treatments.  At the end of your treatment series, and once I have a client to a clinical end point (we're both happy with the results), I move them into maintenance.  Maintenance (for me) is a monthly facial; one month it might be a Lemon Zest with a boost of lactic;  the next month, it might be a Lemon Zest with a layer of TCA (instead of a finishing mask).

I'm glad its working!!

sounds good Lisa how long do you normally let the skin rest in between series tx. Her skin barely reacts to services no redness just a bit pink Sometimes :) even with the passionfruit no redness :) and if she wanted to come in every week for a facial (because she loves the relaxation and stress relief) can be more gentle tx? Love the maintenace of lemonzest and TCA layer instead of mask Have to purchaser the TCA and work with it a bit. Thanks  

Cheryl:  Hum ... I think the spacing between treatment series is a decision for you and your client.  My initial instinct says at least one month, but then again, she is likely prepped and ready to go into the series.  If her skin is as resilient as it sounds, I'd start the series.

Thanks Lisa, will be starting it come Fall Get thru the Summer and kinda take it easy :) But still working at her concerns thru summer a little on the gentle side She certainly has the toughest/resilient  skin I have worked with thus far handles everything great. 

Hello All,

I gave an regular client the Lemon Zest facial w/steam on Friday afternoon, this was the fist time using it on her. She's got some hyperpigmentation from life.

I got an email today asking, "My face is bubbling up a bit and red in places. Is that normal?"

I followed the protocol and only switched out the mask for an algae mask.

I responded with a few questions Does it hurt or is there any irritation? Also, when did this start to happen? 

From looking at it, it looks like it is the perimeter of the cotton round that got saturated or didn't get wiped away.

(Sorry, couldn't figure out how to rotate pic.)

She said it started yesterday and it stings a tiny bit. I suggested putting aloe on it and to keep out of the sun, while investigate. Not sure what to do.

Hi Willie:  My thoughts turn to a toner, moisturizer or spf that was applied and left on the skin.  Since the Lemon Zest was removed, I don't think that would be the culprit.  Can you tell me the toner, moisturizer and spf used?  You might test those products on the inside of her wrist and see if she reacts to any of them to begin the hunt for the culprit.

One more thing, you can use cortizone cream 1% from the drug store to help with any irritation from the product.

Thanks Lisa & Lugenia,

I think it may have been saturated on the edge of the cotton round. When its time to remove, I use the Lucas sprayer to saturate the skin, then remove with ultrasonic spatula and then follow up with a towel, but I leave the cotton pads on and wipe around them. After I used the calming Algae mask, I used a Retinol/glycolic pad, then moisture and SS Spf 30/SPF 15 lip.

I'll let her know about the cortizone cream. Thanks again.

Hi again, Now I feel really bad for my client. I've used the Lemon Zest often lately and no one has responded negatively to it. I even used it on myself this past weekend. I have some small feathering of skin but that's it. 

I checked in on my client and here is her response. I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I have her come back in and put her under the Celluma LED panel?

Also, is it necessary to neutralize the enzymes?

Hi Willie:  No, it is not necessary to neutralize the enzymes; however, if you feel it is necessary, please do so.  I'm going to call you directly to discuss her background / lifestyle as to she is still stinging.
