Women of all ages had the chance to experience a one-on-one consultation with Michelle. During their consultations, our clients had the opportunity to discuss their main skincare concerns and were treated to a complimentary micro exfoliation treatment.

Enlighten Your Skin with Anti-aging technology
In honor of June as our official “Anti-Aging Celebration Month” we want to introduce you to the newest Jan Marini Technology to achieve more youthful skin.
The Issue:
As we like to remind you, 95% of aging is due to sun damage. While you can’t avoid the sun, the good news is that the effects on aging are reversible and preventable!
The Product
Introducing Jan Marini’s Breakthrough Technology: Enlighten Plus
Jan Marini’s new Enlighten Plus face lotion is the only product that contains retinol, antioxidants, and multiple skin-lightening technologies (gentle enough for all skin types) for maximum improvement and significant benefits. Retinol regenerates the skin’s tissue and is proven by clinical studies to minimize lines and plump the skin.
The Service:
To take advantage of this beneficial technology, we now offer an Enlighten Resurfacing Facial & Peel! This facial & peel combination is designed to brighten facial skin and even out facial discoloration.
Age Intervention Enlighten contains two exceptional topical agents that address the appearance of facial discoloration, and are combined with retinol, a potent anti-aging tool.

4 Sunscreen Excuses You Should Never Use
There are a hundred reasons why we should wear sunscreen, yet the few negatives often prevent us from embracing the positive and getting our SPF on the right way! The majority of us think that the little SPF we apply in the morning (within our lotion or makeup) is enough to keep us protected, but it’s important to know that’s not the case! Beyond the serious risk of melanoma, dermatologists remind us that 95% of aging is directly due to sun damage. For that reason, we’re bringing to light the 4 sunscreen excuses that tend to keep us from wearing SPF the right way, and how Colorescience’s Sunforgettable products eliminate those excuses.
Bad Excuse #1: Most are Sticky and Stinky
Sunscreen has a bad reputation for being sticky and stinky. Find a sunscreen with a lightweight formula and test it on your skin before purchasing. This will give you a good idea of the smell and feel of the sunscreen on your skin.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Odorless, lightweight, and “barely-there” feel
Bad Excuse #2: Reapplying Messes Up Makeup
We know that all sun blocks require reapplication, which can be determined by their SPF number. SPF is an acronym for Sun Protection Factor. The number represents the length of time you can stay out in the sun without burning, multiplied by the SPF number. However, this number can be deceiving. The general rule of thumb is to reapply ever 3-4 hours regardless of SPF level due to water, rubbing of clothes, and sweat. Doctor’s also recommend an SPF 30, anything under is too little.
Because creamy sunblocks are “organic,” not in the sense that they’re natural, but the fact that they interact with your own skin chemistry, they lose their effectiveness 3 to 4 hours after application.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Pure mineral powder sunscreens offer longer-lasting, water-resistant protection that won’t sweat off. You therefore get a literal “screen” effect on top of the skin while offering consistent SPF30 or SPF50 protection.
Bad Excuse #3: Sunscreens Contain Chemicals
Pure minerals are essentially the only sun protection recommended for young children, whose delicate skins will absorb chemicals from cream-based sunblocks that can be systemic (entering the bloodstream). Also, some adults are allergic to commonly used chemical blocks in over-the-counter sunscreen cream.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Pure mineral powders don’t release any irritating ingredients, because they’re the most natural block available in nature (zinc, and titanium dioxide).
Bad Excuse #4: Allergies and Acne
Most sunscreens are greasy and clog pores, especially from sweating in the sun! And it is widely recognized that acne-prone skins can’t handle the double-dose of chemicals and pore-clogging creams.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Solution: Since this SPF is a mineral powder it is extremely lightweight, yet powerful for a barely-there feel that provides the safest, non-irritating, instant UVA and UVB sun protection. This also means that you can “forget” about grease! Sunforgettable won’t cause breakouts or irritations.

Give Your Skin A Visible Anti-Aging Boost(er)
In the professional skincare industry, boosters are known to be powerful tools in your skincare regimen kit, providing the most visible results in a short period of time, usually 6 to 8 weeks. The most popular boosters counteract the signs of aging, working in conjunction with your regular skincare routine to provide noticeably visible results in a short time.
One of A French Touch’s favorite boosters is the Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Regeneration Booster, designed with powerful medically-validated, cosmeceutical ingredients, including:
- Telomerase Enzymes: The Age Intervention Regeneration Booster incorporates the telomerase enzyme, which is now scientifically proven to reduce signs of aging to “reset the aging clock.” In fact, the 2009 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine was awarded to three scientists who solved a major challenge in biology: how to protect chromosomes against degradation using the telomerase enzyme.
- CoEnzyme Q10: Often referred to as a major “cellular energy source” that boosts the skins ability to repair and regenerate, the CoEnzyme Q10 is a critical component for the enhancement of collagen and elastin production in skin.
- Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) BETA-1: TGF BETA-1 is a highly anti-inflammatory that stimulates production of a collagen that our bodies no longer produce after the age of 30.
These scientifically-proven ingredients provide powerful results as demonstrated by these before and after pictures:
The Results:
– Minimized lines and wrinkles
– Enhanced Elasticity
– Increased Firmness
– Softened Texture
– Decreased Discoloration
– Improved radiance, suppleness, and hydration
Testimonials
“I have been using Age Intervention Regeneration Booster for four weeks now and I’ve already noticed an AMAZING glow on my face! My skin is much plumper and fuller, and has a lot less wrinkles. I am 63-years-old and one of my clients asked me if I had a face lift!” ~ Audrey
“Having worked for an MD who specializes in skin care for the past 17 years I know that our patients come to us expecting immediate results. Age Intervention Regeneration Booster is my favorite Jan Marini product because it delivers immediate results that are amazing. I love the way it repairs and firms the eye area skin as well as giving the face an overall tightening and texture smoothing effect!” ~ Tracey
What our clients love most is that this Jan Marini extraordinary skincare product captures the emerging science of topical telomerase enzyme therapy to provide dramatically younger looking skin without surgery. And the results are even more powerful when incorporated with a Glycolic Peel Series.
Remember that through the end of April, we’re offering the glycolic peel series (2 peels/week for 3 weeks) for $200! That’s $100 off! Call the salon now to make your appointment 805.785.0340 and get more details on how Boosters can boost your skin.
In addition to this Jan Marini Booster, two other boosters that we highly recommend include:
- Jan Marini Peptide Extreme
- Sothys’ Secrets Global Serum
