At the spa we use only natural and organic products. We want to make sure you receive the best quality products that will make a difference to the health of your skin. See below for some of my product recommendations. Please remember with Eminence that it doesn't contain water so please add water to your products and emulsify in your hand. This applies to cleansers, masks, exfoliators and moisturizers as they are 3 times concentrated and need water to activate ingredients. Please use spatulas when taking product, your fingers will contaminate the product.

Your skincare routine:

Cleanse (twice daily)
Exfoliate (2-3 times per week)
Masque (1-2 per week)
Tone
Serum/Treatment
Moisturize/Night Cream (Remember sun protection, I recommend the reef safe Lilikoi Sunscreen by Eminence!!)
Eye Cream
You can add some tonique to end your routine for extra moisture!
You can add a few drops of Apricot oil to your moisturizer or directly to your skin before applying your cream!

If you have severe acne it is advisable to seek help from a medical professional so they can check for things like allergies, bacterial infection, etc. Once you understand the cause you are able to improve your skin condition. Please ask your doctor about increasing B5 intake as I've seen this help clients and also you can take zinc daily (can make you feel nauseous so have with a big meal or at night). Reducing dairy has also helped clients with acne.

Even though your skin can be on the oily side, sometimes the products you've used to clear acne can be drying. You want your skin to feel hydrated so it doesn't produce more oil to compensate. I find that by using this oil every now and again to do a gentle massage it helps break down scar tissue. Please don't massage if you have pustules as this could spread infection.

The clear skin line really helps with breakouts because it contains probiotics, tea tree oil to help heal infection, willow bark which acts as an astringent and cucumber helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.

This mangosteen cleanser is detoxifying but it also sloughs away dead skin cells. It helps with pore size reduction! This product smells amazing! If prefer using this as an exfoliation for clients with breakouts as it doesn't contain granules and therefore wont potentially spread bacteria.

If you have severe break outs I would recommend the mangosteen cleanser as the lactic acid helps remove dead skin cells. However if you have combination skin, this Stone Crop exfoliant is fantastic because the fizzing action opens the pores and helps remove dead skin cells and oil which can lead to breakouts. It is important not to over exfoliate the skin otherwise you can increase oil production. I recommend 1-2 per week. Stone Crop is incredibly healing and will helps heal wounds lefts from pimples.

This Clear Skin Mask contains probiotics that feed the skin with healthy bacteria, tea tree oil to heal infection and improve blackheads and whiteheads. Cucumber helps reduce appearance of enlarged pores. You can use this mask 1-2 per week. Leave on skin for 5-10 mins.

This Acne Advanced masque is fantastic for healing pimples and reducing inflammation. It helps dissolve dirt and oil deep deep in the pore thus reducing blackheads. This product unlike others has slow release Salicylic acid which is encapsulated so it doesn't burn the skin but rather releases it slowly. I use this product when I have a break out. I will put a small amount on the pimple and leave overnight. It helps reduce inflammation. Otherwise use as directed and leave on for 5-10 minutes

For clients with moderate to severe acne, these products in combination will help reduce inflammation. With slow release Salicylic acid it wont over dry the skin causing the skin to overproduce oil which can make the situation worse. I've seen the before and after photos of people who have used this product line and there is a definite improvement in their skin.

For those looking to cleanse and exfoliate in one step, this anti ageing red currant cleanser has slow release tea tree oil which prevents blackheads and breakouts by unclogging pores. The anti ageing properties fight free radicals.

This lime tonique can be used on a dampened cotton wool pad to remove traces of make up, or you can apply directly to skin. Keep in your purse to spray on your face on a hot day. This tonique is for oily or combination skin. The vitamin C in lime juice helps balance the skin and the green tea prevents antioxidants.
