Did I answer your question?

Comment by Alicia Barrera-Warwick,HHP,LE on July 26, 2009 at 7:15pm: It's a synthetic that is supposed to minimize wrinkles... Google "Snake Venom Peptides" and you'll see skin care options. I am trying one from Italy to see what it does.It kinda burned the first time i used it but it did work for a couple days.I waited 7 days to try it again, that time the burn feeling was less. Personally, it feels much like a strong exfoliation and your face will be a little red but I didn't peel. I haven't used it since then so I will try it again and see what happens. The one I am trying is some sort of scrub, I'm going to look for a leave on cream and see what that does! What is that saying, "Beauty Must Suffer!" LOL.

Comment by Alicia Barrera-Warwick,HHP,LE on July 26, 2009 at 1:01am: Have you heard of the snake venom peptides?

Comment by Alicia Barrera-Warwick,HHP,LE on July 26, 2009 at 1:00am: I like Bio-Elements, I did use them awhile back and I think I still have product.

Comment by Korena Anderson, CMT, LE on July 25, 2009 at 7:28pm: We use Bioelements and Repechage'. We use Biotone Spa Products.

Comment by Alicia Barrera-Warwick,HHP,LE on July 25, 2009 at 9:52am: Yes, massages are the most popular here too but lately, I have seen an increase in facials, especially the retexturizing pumpkin peels (30%). For facials I use two European products that I absolutely love - Eminence from Hungary and Schrammek from Germany. Their lines are simple and effective with lots of fruits, veggies, and herbal extracts. For body spa, the seaweed treatment is very popular that includes a massage too. Which lines do you use?

Comment by Korena Anderson, CMT, LE on July 24, 2009 at 7:05pm: Hi Alicia!
We have been busy doing massages. We definitely do more massages than facials, especially lately. What about you? What product line do you use for your facials? We also do body treatments but not as much as massages.

Comment by Alicia Barrera-Warwick,HHP,LE on July 24, 2009 at 6:58pm: Hi Korena!

Nice to see you here! What's new in your world? Do you do more massages or facials or a combo with the body treatments? I know so many questions!!
