Hi. I was wondering if you wanted to create a cosmetic line or skin care with a private label what insurance companies offer coverage? How do you go about getting insurance for your new skin creams and makeup? In case someone had an allergic reaction or just decided to complain.

From my research many insurance companies don't want to know. They don't seem to understand that you wouldn't be creating things from your kitchen but with a professional private label company.  If there is…

I was set to open my home spa next month. I planned to use Skin Script RX, but I haven't placed my order just yet. Today my husband told me that he was given orders to Okinawa Japan (he's active duty Air Force). Obviously I need to find a different skin care company that ships internationally. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of skin care companies that would ship to Japan? I WISH Skin Script RX would still be an option. Please help!

Has anyone used PMD Pro Microderm? I saw it in Universal. The price is $99 which is extremely low compared to a machine. I'm wondering if this is something to use on clients and charge for the microderm service or not. Any thoughts?

I am a newbie here.

Who else thinks their brothers have prettier eyelashes than yourself?? Considering all the trauma we put our lashes through (curling, mascara, combing, rubbing) it's a wonder we still have them! Finally, there is a fantastic solution! Eyelash extensions! I am certified and experienced but I am open to new products! although I like Blink, I wish there was something a little more soft and natural feeling. not so stiff. 

It's important to understand the role of stimulation for specific skin conditions such as dehydration, mature skin and congestion. When we stimulate the skin through treatments and product application we increase the blood flow to the surface of the skin. We're bringing nutrients and oxygen to the surface which in turn feeds and nourishes the problematic areas, especially dry, dull skin. It's like a…

All of a sudden I seem to have alot to say about skin care, and figured a public blog would be best.  I love writing them and I hope people enjoy reading them.  I just need to figure out how to make it more visible to get more viewers and comments!

In the last several months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about marketing execution for a few different skincare companies that I’m interested in working with.  During my research and many attempts at creating marketing proposals which look professional and correctly portray my ideas, I was suddenly hit with a string of “E” words…  :)
