Pamela Hill Skin Care
Skin care products should be selected with the goal in mind. Today we are interested not only in the products that our clients use at home, but also how those products will interact with treatments such as microdermabrasions, IPL, Fraxel, LED or other treatments such as facials. Any program, whether it is accompanied by clinical treatments or not should include several steps; cleansing, therapeutics, moisturizers, sunscreens and exfoliation. Each step is important to the clients eventual outcome. Pamela Hill's Fundamentals of Skin Care addresses your client's skin care needs and the products that are absolutely necessary to achieve a result.
Hungary - a land blessed with fruits, vegetables and herbs that draw their succulence from the soil and thermal hot springs of the Carpathian basin long known for being rich in minerals and trace elements found nowhere else on earth. A country in Eastern Europe with a long history of using locally available ingredients in their healing treatments. Due to the soil, the somewhat dry climate and abundance of sunshine, Hungarian herbs and fruits are uniquely rich in active ingredients and aromatic agents. From these ingredients Ilike Molnar, lovingly known as "Aunt Ilcsi", has been creating organic skin care products since the late 50's.
From this heritage come the products of ilike organic skin care made in small batches from organically grown and handpicked herbs, fruits and vegetables -no mass production-, and containing the highest possible levels of natural active ingredients. Since the late 50's Ilike Molnar, and now with her son Ferenc Molnar, have been refining and improving the product formulas and developing new products. For nearly 50 years in practice and through extensive research these potent, natural ingredients have demonstrated their therapeutic and beautifying effects resulting in clear, balanced and glowing complexions.
Equipment
This is why IAME is the best to prepare you
for your career!
Remember VA LAW has equipment requirements for Esthetician schools!
Oakworks Table
Our students have the luxury of completing their treatments with the assistance of a table that is fully functional. When performing a facial you will be completing an arm and hand massage or a foot and leg massage. If the table you are working on does not adjust to your height, this can tax you body and cause undue back pain. Our tables also adjust for client comfort just like the European Spas offer. They lift at the back and leg area, providing unparalleled comfort for our clients.
