Should salons offer advice ”
on nutrition and supplements?
Tracey Tamaris
Training Director at International Institute for Anti-Ageing
“A therapist not offering a combination of skin care, treatments and nutritional supplements is short changing her client.”
“In today’s economic climate consumers are careful how they spend their money. They expect added value for their euro and in the beauty industry this means results. No longer is it enough for salons to offer nice relaxing treatments, they need to look at products and services that make real changes to their clients skin and quality of life. Offering nutritional supplements as part of the holistic view of a client is the perfect answer.
“Small things can make big changes and supplements are easy for therapists to sell. For example if a client has dry skin, adding Omega supplements to their regime will make a real difference. It is not sufficient for salons to use the correct products and treatments externally to make healthy skin. This starts from the inside and without the right nutrition, topical application is just not enough to achieve dramatic results.
“All therapists know that vitamin C is essential for collagen production and have no problem applying vitamin C to the skin.Why not supplement with it as well so that levels are boosted from within, right where cells and tissues are made? High quality nutritional supplements tailored to skin are available for the professional beauty industry.
“Consumers demand results that show. Ensuring that skin is glowing, firm and healthy is therefore paramount. The optimum way of achieving this is a combination of the correct skin care, treatments and nutritional supplements. Any therapist not offering these is short changing her client.”

“Many clients will ask questions of their therapist that theymay be too embarrassed to ask a Doctor”
“Being an advocate for organic food for the past 30 years I can vouch for its added nutrient status and more importantly its non-toxic effects on the body. Clean food is as important as nutritious food especially in skin conditions where the liver is often involved.
“Basic nutrition advice should form part of the foundation of all skin and body treatments and all fully-trained beauty therapists are capable of this. However additional nutrition training can allow advice to be given which relates to specific conditions. Many clients will ask questions of their therapist that they may be too embarrassed to ask a Doctor, while many Doctors still see skin conditions as relatively benign, often underestimating the devastating effect on the patient.
“Skin conditions are notoriously slow to heal and the skin is the last organ the body will give up nutrients too, therefore it is very important that supplements are incorporated to boost the healing ability of skin tissue
“While therapists are often reluctant to give nutritional advice, remember that many food supplements are available on the supermarket shelf to buy without any assistance. Brands which offer nutritional supplement design to be used alongside professional skin care will offer training in nutrient supplementation to support its salon treatments and home care. It is evident that those on a nutritious diet coupled with vitamin supplements see results at a faster pace and can maintain results for longer time frames.”

“Some therapists appear to be reticent to recommend supplements, even though they are comfortable using vitamins and plant nutrients in topical creams”
“The ‘beauty from within’ concept has been growing steadily for several years.
“Retail outlets now have dedicated sections for skin supplements; and today’s consumers are already reaping the benefits of nutritional supplements for skin, hair and nails. Many people now know that if they want to hydrate their skin, they should take essential fatty acid supplements and they can see striking results within a week.
“So why are professional beauty therapists so slow in embracing this integral part of skin care? This is probably the first time in beauty history where the professional therapist is actually lagging behind consumer awareness. Some therapists appear to be reticent to recommend supplements, even though they are perfectly comfortable using vitamins and plant nutrients in topical creams. When these key skin nutrients are taken internally they have the same and even more profound effect on skin health.
“Therapists don’t need to become nutritionists, as they are already skin experts and with proper training they can support skin health through specialised nutritional supplements. Beauty supplements are a perfect complement to the therapist’s current array of treatments and should be part of every client’s home care regime.
“Therapists already have a relationship of trust with their clients that provides a great basis from which to encourage a client to buy all their skin supplies - both oral and topical - in the salon.”
