    Advice, Fresh Indulgence solution %?

The Caribbean also has walnut extract in it (as does the electric tan) so revive is more recommended if you have clients with nut allergies. In regard to the question about % i think...

    Thoughts on Spa Find skincare?

    We use it in the salon, treatment wise facials are the most popular for us and everyone loves how silky soft their skin feels. The treatments are very relaxing as massage does play a big part. My hubby has just tried their perfect purity wash for shaving and his skin is definitely less...

    Essentially Yours skincare, any good?

    we have been using this but are phasing it out to go with spafind. I too love the facial oils particularly the luxury and holistic oils.
