Optimising and Prescribing Raw Materials for Different Skin Types: Advanced Day

A One-Day course with Mike Harmon (Course creator: Kolbjorn Borseth)

Overview:

This advanced course combines theory and practice and is a very intensive course during which we make a lot of professional products that can be for your own use, sold to your therapy clients, or sold commercially to the public. A comprehensive range of course materials are provided for each student and several products made during the practical sessions are for students to take home. The Course covers new information on the appropriate raw materials for different skin types - you'll find out which Vegetable Oils, Essential Oils, Vitamins, Botanical CO2 Extracts, Hydrolates, Herbs, Tinctures, Peelers & Exfoliates, Moisturisers and other active ingredients to use for OILY and COMBINATION SKIN TYPES as well as for SCAR TISSUE and STRETCH MARKS. Kolbjorn’s book, The Aromantic Guide to Unlocking the Powerful Health & Rejuvenation Benefits of Vegetable Oils, which is selling very well, will be part of the course literature for this new course plus you'll receive an extra 72 brand new recipes.

This course will give you a comprehensive list of raw materials that you can use to make your own skin care ranges for dry, mature and/or sensitive skin.

Course Contents:

NB: The course material and recipes for this course have been developed by Kolbjorn Borseth and successfully been taught twice in London.

Each of the three skin types/conditions parts of the day will begin with a theory session that will cover the appropriate raw materials for different skin types/conditions, as described in the above Overview with students receiving an extra 16xA4 pages of added information and recipes on each skin type/condition.

To start with, the facilitator takes an hour to go through the theory part of the causes, care methods, what to avoid for oily skin types plus specific natural cosmetic raw materials for use in products for oily skin types.

After a tea break groups of students make the following products for oily skin: 2 types of body oils; 2 types of face oils; 2 types of face serums.

We the have an hour long theory session on raw materials for combination skin, where the facilitator discusses how to care for this skin type and what to avoid. We also teach about cosmetic raw materials that can be used for the whole face, as well as solely for the T-zone – also which products to use for the T-zone. In this section we also discuss using masks, wraps, gel masks, etc. Students are given a comprehensive brochure of 14 A4 page format containing specific face oil recipes for the whole face (9 recipes) or T-zone only (8 recipes); specific face oil serums for the whole face (8 recipes) or T-zone only (8 recipes); making a total of 33 recipes.

After lunch, groups of students make the following products for combination skin: 1 type of face oil for whole face; 1 type of face oil for T-zone only; 1 type of face oil serum for whole face; 1 type of face oil serum for T-zone only. .

After a tea break there is a theory session on how to treat scar tissue and stretchmarks. We define 6 types of scar tissue and the causes of stretchmarks. We then talk about the different treatment methods for each type of scar tissue and how to use megadoses of vitamins on these marks. We also give you different aroma blends and a recipe for a gel to heal open wounds. When we make treatment oils we distinguish between old and new scars and we give recipes for different scar types.

Then groups of students make the following treatment products for scars and stretchmarks: 2 treatment oils for old scars; 1 treatment oil for new scars; and 1 treatment oil for stretchmarks. Students receive a comprehensive 18-page A4 brochure with 25 different recipes.
