Ants are bad (negative) = Anaphoresis and Cats are good (positive) = Cataphoresis !
Today was all about the Galvanic machine, which helps open and soften the pores through Anaphoresis, and close the pores and push product into the epidermis through Cataphoresis. Lots of new vocab, but really interesting. The Galvanic machine basically is creating a DC circuit (see left). In class, the results were pretty amazing! Then we practiced everything we have learned so far, because Freshman Class is almost over (eek!!)!
Picture of an oatmeal mask and paraffin hand treatments! Oatmeal masks are super-hydrating, healing and they smell like breakfast!
Ingredient Definition of the Day: methoxy propyl gluconamide* is an alpha hydroxyacid derivative used as a moisturizer and an emollient (a substance that soften and soothes the skin. Used to correct dryness and scaling of the skin, and is a key component in the manufacture of lipstick, lotions). Its minimal acidity favors its use on dry and very dry, scaly skin surfaces, where other alpha hydroxyacid compounds may not be well tolerated.
*Found in Milady's Skin Care and Cosmestics Ingredients Dictionary and Wikipedia.
