It’s no secret that Eminence Organic Skin Care offers results-driven professional treatments. However, to maximize those results, effective home care products are also necessary. When trying to determine the best treatments for your clients, there are some clear home care pairings that complement spa products, as well as some hidden gems. Read on for our suggestions of the best products to combine with professional treatments for a facial or body treatment that lasts longer.

Long-Lasting Facials

Professional facial treatments are a must-have to supercharge progress and reach skin care goals. An at-home skin care routine is important to extend these treatments and is even more essential if spa visits are irregular.

As the ultra-glowy results from a facial only last for about 30 days, a detailed home care routine will keep the progression moving forward instead of falling back, ensuring that clients at an Eminence Organic Spa Partner see results. Other tips that help support a professional treatment include:

1. Increasing water intake: A facial is like a workout for your skin, and just like any workout, hydration is key. Drinking lots of water pre and post-facial is key to a healthy-looking complexion and is especially important if steam or heat is used as part of the treatment.
2. Using SPF: It goes without saying that SPF is needed every day, but it is even more important after a facial. It may seem obvious, but SPF is a crucial part of the aftercare of a facial, as the skin may be more sensitive — especially if the facial includes a chemical peel or strong actives.
3. Skipping immediate exfoliation: Most likely, a facial incorporates some level of exfoliation that is deeper than exfoliating at home. In order to keep the skin healthy, clients shouldn’t exfoliate at home two full days before and after a facial.
4. Using gentle products: Not only is it important to skip exfoliation but using strong treatments, masks, cleansers or other actives immediately before or after a facial is not advisable. The day before and after, gentle products should be used to keep the skin balanced and strong.

Recommendations For Each Skin Type

Now, let’s talk product pairings. While a full facial treatment will typically comprise of several professional-use products, the recommendations below match one pro product ideal for each skin type, along with retail products that perfectly support the treatment.

Sensitive Skin

Since those with sensitive skin types are often hesitant to try a peel, a chemical exfoliant is often more gentle and suitable than a physical exfoliant. We suggest using the Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% at the spa. This self-neutralizing peel is completely non-irritating and will leave the skin feeling soft and smooth.

For home care, our Calm Skin Collection is brilliant for comforting red, dry skin and keeping the skin looking balanced. Specifically, the Eminence Organics Calm Skin Chamomile Cleanser, Calm Skin Chamomile Exfoliating Peel and Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer are must-haves to get clients through until their next facial. In addition to soothing dry skin, the Calm Skin Chamomile Exfoliating Peel will continue to slough off dead skin cells, prolonging the feeling of a smooth complexion gained from the Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10%.

Dry Skin

Not only great for dry skin types, this combo will also work wonders for those with dehydrated or fatigued skin. Starting with a classic, we suggest our AHA Fruit Pulp Treatment containing lactic acid to gently exfoliate while also moisturizing the skin with BioComplex.

For daily use at home, our Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum and Marine Flower Peptide Night Cream will both deliver thorough hydration for a smoother-looking complexion. Additionally, applying our decadent-smelling Strawberry Rhubarb Masque once or twice a week will leave the skin feeling firm and looking radiant.

Normal Skin

Those with a normal skin type may feel they have too many options to choose from. For a noticeable glow and smaller pores, the Eminence Organics Mangosteen Collection is a sure thing. The Mangosteen Lactic Pro Peel 10% will leave a youthful glow with no downtime. At home, daily cleansing and treatment with our Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser and Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate perfectly complement the professional treatment, continuing to deliver our proprietary Lactic Acid Complex between spa visits.

Combination Or Oily Skin

Anyone with a combination or oily skin type looking to reduce sebum while keeping the skin hydrated will fall in love with the Menthol Rosehip Treatment. This professional treatment tones the skin and contains moisturizing honey and cooling menthol.

If you’re dealing with breakouts and blemishes, you may wish to receive an extraction at your nearest authorized Eminence Organics spa. If so, your esthetician is likely to use the Charcoal & Black Seed Pro Desincrustation Gel, which is a deep-cleansing treatment designed to soften the skin and prepare it for extractions. Desincrustation is a deep cleansing treatment that both softens and emulsifies sebum and keratin in the follicle. 

To further keep the skin looking even and healthy, we recommend our Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer and award-winning Facial Recovery Oil. While the use of oil may alarm those with an oily skin type, this product is suitable for all skin types and contains clary sage, which is ideal for balancing oil.
