Introduction: The lips are a very important part of our face and are responsible for the articulation of speech and sound as well as the intake of food and drink. These soft movable areas of our face are comprised of just three to five layers of skin and have no sweat or sebaceous glands making this thin area very delicate with only saliva as it s source of natural moisture. Blood vessels appear through the skin of the lips and give a much redder colour to those with paler complexions compared to those with darker skin. The lips don't produce melanin, the pigment which gives the skin its colour and is produced by the body as a natural way of protecting itself from ultraviolet light, this means the lips are at a much higher risk of getting sunburned and can develop skin cancer like the rest of the body. When the lips are cared for and healthy they provide a sponge like action, when they are moisturised and hydrated they have a much plumper full appearance but allowed to become dry and dehydrated will result in the lips becoming shrunken, cracked and crinkled; the latter can happen at any time of the year but is more prominent in the winter months. Research has shown that women with fuller lips are perceived to be more enticing to males than those with thinner lips. This trend has resulted in the growing demand of lip plumping products in the consumer market and clients looking for lip enhancing treatments. The Perfect Pout! Lip Treatment is an easy to perform customisable treatment to offer to clients with concerns of dryness, dehydrated cracked lips or for those who wish for a softer plumped lip appearance. Indications for use: Dry flaky lips Dehydrated tight lips Lips in need of a smooth, full appearence Consultation: Carry out a full and thorough consultation using the Eve Taylor Consultation Card. This is vital to the effective treatment of your client s skin and will allow you to assess their lifestyle and current skin care habits which may be impacting on their skin condition. You will also have the opportunity to identify any skin care products that may be contributing to their skin dehydration which will allow you to give homecare recommendations and advice later. Contra-indications to exfoliation: In the event that your client is using Roaccutane/Isotretinoin, we would advise to omit the exfoliation element of this treatment as use of this prescribed medication can cause severe dryness, cracking and bleeding of the lips. pg. 1

Treatment course: If the client is experiencing dry, dehydrated flaking lips this treatment may be performed at weekly intervals and may be performed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into an Eve Taylor facial. Homecare products and retail: At the end of the first treatment complete the Eve Taylor Prescription Sheet to offer recommendations for products to use at home. The consistent use of homecare products is vital for your clients to see ongoing improvements to their lip area. To maintain the results of the Perfect Pout! Lip Treatment we would recommend the following products: Hyaluronic Acid Serum Seal & Protect Moisturising Lip Balm If your client is experiencing vertical lines (smokers lines) around the top lip you may also prescribe Time-line Intensive Serum. Benefits and selling points: Hyaluronic Acid Serum; This advanced power serum saturates the skin with essential hydration, softens the lips leaving them feeling silky smooth. Seal & Protect Moisturising Lip Balm; An emollient lip protector with broad spectrum sunscreens to soften and soothe the skin of the lips keeping them supple, hydrated and protected from damaging UV rays. Homecare advice: Offering homecare advice will help to educate your clients and allow them to get the best from their products and see improvements to their concerns. If the lips become flaky avoid picking away the skin as this will potentially cause tearing and bleeding. While it may be tempting to lick dry or cracked lips, avoid this as digestive enzymes in present in saliva will dry them out more. Applying a layer of Hyaluronic Acid Serum followed by Seal & Protect Moisturising Lip Balm before bed so it can work deeply into the lips while you sleep and be more effective. Covering the mouth and lips with a scarf when going outside in icy cold weather will help to prevent dry cracked lips. Marketing the Eve Taylor Pucker Up! Lip Treatment: The Eve Taylor Perfect Pout!
