"Hi! I'm Shannon Neels from Le Reve Day Spa and we're here today with Expert Village, and today I'll be talking about organic products and we’ll be doing a facial. The third step in a facial is exfoliation, so we're going to start by doing calm presses with pure essential oils. This particular one that I'm going to be using today is called an ultra sensitive blend so it has chamomile, ____, lavender, rose; things that are going to be very calming for Amanda's skin. They're also going to be very cleansing, deeply clarifying helping with her impurities. We're going to place these essential oils in warm water. We actually use diapers for our calm presses, baby diapers, because they are very soft. They're 100% cotton and they will not scratch the skin. The essential oils are very powerful. They're able to penetrate your skin in about 20 seconds and show up in your blood stream within 20 minutes. So essential oils are very powerful and calming Amanda's skin as well as softening the skin and preparing it for exfoliation. Exfoliation in a day spa setting means to remove surface dead skin cells. We do not go below the surface. That would be done in more of a medial type spa or by dermatologist."
