Optimising and Prescribing Vegetable Oils for Different Skin Types: Advanced Day 1

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 DRY, MATURE and SENSITIVE SKIN TYPES. 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.

9.45 - 5.15pm

The facilitator then takes an hour to go through the theory part on raw materials for dry skin types, including material on extra moisturising as well as chapped and cracked skin. After a tea break groups of students make the following products for dry 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 mature skin. After lunch, groups of students make the following products for mature skin: 1 type of body oils; 1 type of face oil; 1 type of face serum.

After a tea break there is a theory part on raw materials and treatment methods for sensitive skin. Then groups of students make the following products for sensitive skin: 1 type of body oil; 1 type of face oil; and 1 type of face serum.

NOTE: Before learning how to make a product Kolbjorn will discuss the benefits of the product and demonstrate the exact utensils and raw materials required. ALL raw materials and utensils are provided and students usually work in groups of 4 per table. A printed hand-out of the recipe and technique is also given to each student at the beginning of every demonstration. This enables the student to focus upon the 'hands-on' aspect of the session and ensures that each participant leaves with a complete set of notes and recipes for future reference.
