During this investigative demo and hands-on class, you will be introduced to the top “Botanical Foods” used in cosmetic formulations targeting particular skin conditions. As we know, skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis are highly related to the dysfunction of internal organs, stress or inappropriate food habits. Nevertheless, properly made skincare products can help relieve and soothe these uncomfortable and often unsightly skin problems.

In this new and unique class, Alice will introduce you to a wide range of traditional and unusual botanical extracts, essential oils, and other natural ingredients that have the ability to make our skin feel and look better. Some of the conditions we will study include Acne & Blemishes, Eczema, Chronic Dryness and Flakiness, Psoriasis, Scaring and Rosacea.

Please note that these problematic conditions are not always curable from the outside, but most people can alleviate the bothersome symptoms by using certain beneficial ingredients. This class will also cover which products and ingredients to AVOID, which in some cases can even cure the problem altogether.

You will leave this class with informative handouts, a (custom) 1/3-oz. roll-on Blemish Buster, a (custom) 2-oz Recovery Gel & a 1-oz Dry Skin Stick.
