Comments on Alice's 5-Step Facials Class:

“Alice has been around the world researching and definitely has a passion. Very informative and ran over, but was so interesting it didn't matter. Alice cares about the quality of ingredients. Alice asked us several times if we had questions and answered them. What I liked best about the class was the ingredients were ‘All natural!’ Some of the products are edible – like the fruit facial. The class was broken down in to skin types. Lots of information. Cleanliness – spray alcohol on all containers before filling and again afterwards. Awesome class! Love to see this type of class for men – they have skin, too ....everyone has skin! This class more than met my expectations; it is very generous with products – oils, essential oils, clays, herbs, etc.” - Diane Miller
