The “24 Carrot”Treatment

The luxurious “24 Carrot” treatment makes the skin feel like gold and leaves the client with glowing complexion. It nourishes and softens with rejuvenating organic Carrots, Marigold, Flaxseed and hydrating herbal oils. The skin becomes vitalized, soft and supple, while powerful antioxidants fight free radicals to slow down the aging process. This facial is part of our customers’ favorite “24 Carrot” treatments series – protocols for face, body, hands and feet -, which we celebrate the 50th golden anniversary of ilike organic skin care in 2008.

This treatment will take approximately 75-90 minutes to complete.

Client preparation

Review the client’s history and concerns; as well ask about any known allergies. Explain your skin diagnosis and the expected results of this treatment. Make sure you emphasize that there is a highly stimulating step in this treatment (see Step 4) and its benefits. Get client’s approval on this stimulating treatment (if your client doesn’t approve the stimulation or you would like to make this a 60 minutes treatment, use the ilike Yogurt Power Peel for Step 4).

Step 1: CLEANSING

Remove makeup, eye makeup and most of the dust or pollution
Choices:

Lemon Cleansing Milk – premature skin types with possibly problematic skin
Rose Petal Cleansing Milk – mature skin types with signs of aging

Apply a small amount of cleanser over entire face and neck area and massage it in gently for 30-60 seconds moving your fingertips in circular motions, then remove with damp face towel.

Step 2: FURTHER CLEANSING

To perfectly cleanse the skin and remove any residue

Nettle Exfoliating Wash – for all skin types

Mix a small amount of cleanser with water in hands. Apply and massage into skin with your fingers for 1 to 3 minutes in circular motions covering the entire face and neck and avoiding the eye area. Remove completely with damp face towel.

Step 3: TONING

To balance the pH of the skin, even out pores and infuse vitamins and minerals
Choices:

Rose Petal Toner – premature, mature, dry skin types
Stonecrop Toner – all skin types, especially sensitive skin and hyper-pigmentation

Spray toner onto the skin or wipe skin with a cotton pad moistened by toner, or press toner in to skin with your hands.

Step 4: EXFOLIATION

Step 4: EXFOLIATION – to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and refine the complexion

AHA Fruit Peel and Hungarian Paprika Gel Treatment – for all skin types

Use these products together via a layering process. They are very stimulating, therefore blood circulation increases and body heat elevates immediately after application, raising the cellular metabolism to provide oxygen absorption. Apply AHA Fruit Peel first in a thin layer and then apply Hungarian Paprika Gel Treatment on top of the peel (best to use a fan brush for this step). Cover the entire treated area with a dry gauze sheet (or precut gauze mask) and leave it on for 15-20 minutes or until products dry. Remove products with the help of the gauze by peeling it off the skin. Wipe off any residue with a luke warm wet towel.

(Note that the stimulating effect of the herbs causes a tingling and hot sensation for a short time period. The rosy skin tone will turn into a very healthy glow. The complexion will be refined, smoother and healthier looking for days. The stimulating paprika mask increases the circulation and pumps fresh blood through even the smallest vessels, this way detoxifying the skin.
It is important that you inform the client about the expected tingling sensation and that this is not an allergic reaction! Skin will cool off by the end of the treatment.)

Step 5: EXTRACTIONS

Step 5: EXTRACTIONS

Saponaria Linaria Massage Cream - for all skin types to be extracted, even the most sensitive skin

Massage it into the skin to loosen the pores, emulsify the comedones and then proceed with light extractions if necessary. You can use steam during this step if the skin is not too sensitive.

Step 6: TREATMENT MASK

Rich Carrot Mask – for dehydrated, sensitive or mature skin in need of rejuvenation

Apply mask over the face, neck and décolleté area and leave on for 15 minutes. You may use a wet gauze mask over the Rich Carrot Mask to keep the product wet during the effecting period and make the removal easier. This mask makes a great eye treatment, too, so don’t leave out the eye area. Remove with a damp towel at the end of the effecting period.

Step 7: HYDRATION and MASSAGE

Apply a drop of St John’s Wort Eye Contour Cream around the eye area, gently tapping it in from the outside to the inside end of the eyes.

Moisturizer and serum choices:

Rich Carrot Moisturizer enriched with Calendula Oil – for drier, wrinkled and mature skin
Rich Carrot Moisturizer enhanced with Q10 Serum – for premature skin or before sun exposure to fill the skin with antioxidants
Rosehip Serum layered with Rich Carrot Moisturizer – for sensitive skin to completely calm any remaining redness

Apply serums first, them moisturizer (or blend one or two pumps of oil into moisturizer in your palm before application), and then work them into the skin with light, relaxing massage movements (such as Lymphatic Drainage).

Apply a small amount of Lip Balm from the ilike selection – choose the client’s favorite flavor: Lemon Citrus, Cool Mint or Spicy Cinnamon.

Step 8: SUN PROTECTION

Tomato Suntan Gel – for all skin types

Apply this sun protection gel on top of the moisturizer as the last step of the facial.
