PRINCIPLES OF SKINCARE

FRAGRANCE AND COLOURING)

The principles of skincare I'll be dealing with are my own personal principles (which
I think are great). Feel free to create your own principles if they work for you.
These principles have given me the most splendid of results.

For me the principles have to do with the processes involved in doing a promix and the processes that govern them.

 Principle #1
 Don't mix out too many base crèmes. In fact, if you get your hands on one
highly powerful base, USE IT ALONE AS BASE AND ADD OTHER THINGS TO IT.

Strong base + strong concentrate + pure active ingredient + ESS oils  = PROFESSIONAL PROMIX.

This set of rules work like a charm every  time.

Now let me quickly lay down some principles for the bases, concentrates and others.

1. Use original and highest grade of everything.
There's no negotiation with this.

2. The Base you use depends on what you're trying to achieve. It is very important to use the right base. For example, watery bases are not allowed for those with chronic dry skin. Thick milk bases that are highly moisturizing are a huge "Yes".

3.Reject the spirit of overdo.

Adding 50 tablespoons of Asian white powder to 50ml of kamana is just a huge no no.
Please respect ratio's. Very important. Find a golden ratio and stick with it.

4. Use good stuff.
So many good things come from Asia. (Malaysia, Thailand, China, Korea). Special pre-dissolved concentrates, Actives, Effective Base cremes that work Just great.
Great stuff come from the U.S too, I know a pharmaceutical lab in the U.S that makes bulks, and treatment products for people of colour. Get the good stuff. owever be careful.


These are some of the few principles we'll drop for now. Don't be afraid to experiment and create new things.
