Do you see instant results after a Facial ? Most definitely! I'm sure she won't mind me saying this, but I did a Nimue rejuvenating facial on Beautyguru (Gabrielle) as like you she was umming and ahhing about whether to take on Nimue. Well Gabrielle has the most fantastic skin and I really didn't think she'd see a difference, but not only did she but so did all her clients. So yes most defo instant results
Do clients LIKE the range & how it smells ? Nimue is not a flowery range, it's a cosmeceutical range. As Mrs Geek said in this month's Hyperion Newsletter, it's like Ronseal, it does what it says on the tin ... and then some! It is a brand aimed at getting results, not for pleasing the senses. It has very little smell at all.
Do you get clients because they want Nimue ? They get it because i have 110% faith that it will get the results my clients want and need and buy off my enthusiasm. I do however get calls from people all round the country who have found my website, South African ladies in particular as that is where it originates from. These are people who ahve used the brand and are hooked because it works.
How good is Nimue at treating Mature skin types & Anti-Ageing ? Most of my clients concerns are these areas so I need something that is very effective.
Nimue is fab at treating this type of skin, as well as problematic and hyperpigmented. They have recently doubled the range of products to make it even better. As you probably know it's main ingredient is a triple AHA combination buffered for maximum results. Here's what Paula Begoun says about AHA's.
An effective AHA or BHA product. One significant consequence of sun damage is that the outer layer of skin becomes thickened, discolored, rough, and uneven. The best way to help skin shed abnormally built-up layers of dead, unhealthy skin is to use a well-formulated alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta hydroxy acid (BHA) product. Such exfoliation will not only even out skin tone it will also produce a significant improvement in the texture of skin. Another benefit is that exfoliating away accumulated layers of dead skin cells helps other products you use, particularly moisturizers, penetrate skin and be far more effective. The most researched forms of AHAs are glycolic or lactic acids. Salicylic acid is the sole BHA option. For AHAs, look for products that contain at least 5% AHA, but preferably 8-10%. If the percentage isn’t listed on the label, then the ingredient should be at the top of the ingredient list. For BHA products, 0.5% to 2% concentrations are available.
Added with that - the products that contain antioxidants to combat free radical damage and boy oh boy this range is fab for mature skins. If this is the main type of client you have then you will have to sell them the virtues of the results and they need to forget about the lack of aromas!
I am however about to take on the essential oils facial range from Academie, not for skincare but for those people who want a luxurious pamper facial with all the smells! I am not going to be doing the Nimue pamper facial anymore, just keeping it purely as a treatment range. The two brands complement each other very well and I can't ait to do my Academie training next week!
