On the product knowledge training you learn about .. product knowledge.. Eve took my class and was very thorougher in the products and what they are used for. In the afternoon Eve demonstrated a couple of facials and using the specialist masques (which you can part mix the flower water in to help it from setting up too quickly). The floral waters can also be used as a spritz or tonic between products and is very nice to soak pads in for covering the eyes when the masque is on the face.

I really benefitted from my training with Eve Taylor and would highly recommend it. The other course that she did was Skin Analysis... well I was totally in awe at her knowledge on this day's training... she was like 'Doris Stokes' and what she didnt know about what is going on on the inside of a person by what is happening on the surface is just not worth knowing about. She is just awsome. Both courses are totally worth the money.

HTH :hug:

I've not been on any Eve Taylor courses, but it's a shame more courses don't have an emphasis on skin analysis. I'm always suprised how little some therapists know about skin conditions & causes of them. So many treat the visual evidence on the surface without understanding what's going on underneath to cause them in the first place, and if you don't address the underlying processes you have no hope of 'treating' a skin condition.

It seems a lot of colleges are in the dark ages when it comes to their knowledge of the skin; if indeed they even teach the students about the skin at all.

On the subject of 'flower waters', are you talking about 'hydrolats'? If so, there are some fantastic books on the use of these as an adjunct to aromatherapy. The following uses applies only to those without preservatives:

They make excellent washes for eczema, wounds & burns, as well as being good for gargles, nasal sprays, skin sprays & as a ******. High quality hydrolats also make good eyewashes (Roman Chamomile is excellent in this way for inflamed eyes, and on a compress is great for itchy hayfever eyes). You can also take high-quality hydrolats internally (like rosewater) for absorption via the digestive tract (such as a teaspoon poured into another drink - up to 3 teaspoons a day is considered 'safe') & via the rectum as an enema. Externally you can add 50ml to a bath for it's effect on the skin, or soak gauze in the water to make a compress.

Forgot to add that in facials, if you are applying a masque that you don't want to apply directly to the skin, soak some gauze in the hydrolat & then apply the masque onto the gauze. Besides making masque removal easier it helps hydrate the skin making absorption of any actives slightly easier, the effect of which is enhanced if the masque is occlusive.

I must admit I didn't realise there were as many uses for hydrolat either.. very informative there Martin.

I think Eve Taylor do do a body treatment course too.. you would have to phone them to ask. If Eve is in this country when you take your training, she often takes the training, but there are other trainers too.

If you are interested in Hydrosols there's a book called Hydrsols: The Next Aromatherapy by Suzanne Catty (there's probably a preview version on Google books). There's also some material on them in Aromatherapy for Health Professionals.

I use the eve taylor hydrolats to mix up the peel off masques, use part water part hydrolat, to scent my hot towels and in the water with sponges to wash off the cleanser. You don't need to add much. The eve taylor training is great - you're given good product knowledge along with body and skin analysis, (which was fascinating by the way) and then a demonstration at the end. The price for the 2 day course was very good only about £85 i think. Marie Reynolds is one of the trainers who was very knowledgeable. You will definitely enjoy the course. x
