fit the individual needs of clients, be it
anti–aging or problematic skin.
For example, collagen-based supple-
ments are on the rise as an anti-aging
treatment. In a recent study published in
the Journal of Nutrition and Food, scien-
tists evaluated the effect of daily ingestion
of 10 grams of Collagen Hydrolysate (CH)
on the skin hydration of 20 healthy
Japanese women and compared the exper-
imental group to a placebo group of 19
volunteers. A gradual improvement of
water absorption and capacity was
observed throughout the 60-day study in
women who ingested CH in comparison
with the placebo group.
These studies are beginning to prove
that addi ng ingestible beauty supplements
to a skincare routine can have the kind of
long-lasting affects clients are looking for.
Innovative spas are creating
customized programs that exfoliate the
skin with peels or microdermabrasion
then feed the skin with these supple-
ments. If we equip estheticians with the
products, tools and knowledge to create
customized programs for all clients, spa
staff will have the ability to help from
start to finish, while tapping into a
niche market that will create loyal
clientele and improve alignment for both
services and retail. n
