Mask’s properties could be customized to clients needs by blending appropriate toners, gels or serums. For sensitive skin types dilute a small amount of mask with purified water (50/50 ratio) prior to application and allow to remain on the skin for a shorter period of time. A refreshing, mild aromatherapy scent.   In-Salon application:   Analyze your client’s skin to determine the correct treatment mask to use. Remove enough mask for one application with a disposable spatula from the bulk container and place in a smaller container for skin application or custom blending. The client may experience a mild tingling, cooling and tightening sensation as the mask dries. This should be explained prior to treatment so they know what to expect. Use on cleansed skin. Before proceeding protect the client’s eyes with cotton pads dampened in warm water. Apply a thin layer with a brush, spatula or fingertips over the entire face starting with the neck line, then jaws, cheeks, chin, nose and forehead. Avoid applying mask to lips, mouth, hairline, eyebrows and the area around the eyes. Paste masks need to be applied in a thin layer so that the drying stage does not take to long to set. Ask the client if they are comfortable. Leave on for 5 to 15 minutes. The mask should be removed with tepid to warm water and cotton. A very small amount of Gentle Cleansing Gel or Mint Soufflé mixed with water could be used to make mask removal faster and easier. Tone and refresh with appropriate toner (Aloe Cucumber or Ginseng Toners) and follow with a moisturizer or specialty product. Remove cotton pads from the client’s eyes. For combination skin types, two masks can be used at the same time. Mild masks formulated for oily skin (Volcanic Mud Mask, Mint Mask) can be used on oily areas, and masks formulated for dry skin (Skin Recovery Mask, Collagen Cream Mask, Placenta Nourishing Mask) on the dry areas.   Key ingredient functions and product benefits:   Pure volcanic mud is stimulating and detoxifying.

Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research - Free Shipping   Per the manufacturer, Thorne Research products are not available for sale online to the public.  Please call us for more information.   Holistic Doctor Recommended Product Information Pregnancy is a critical time for optimizing health and nutrition, both for the mother and her baby. Overall nutritional and caloric needs are greatly increased by pregnancy and breastfeeding.* However, especially during the first trimester because of nausea, women are not always able to consume the desired number of calories or variety of nutrients. Several nutrients in a good prenatal multiple vitamin have been found to benefit pregnant women who suffer from "morning sickness," including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and vitamin K.* The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend folic acid supplementation for all women of childbearing age because the biggest need is during the first trimester, when a woman may not even be aware she is pregnant. A woman who consumes a healthful diet with adequate folate may reduce her risk of having a child with a birth defect of the brain or spinal cord. Folate intake should not exceed 250 percent of the government's recommended daily value (1,000 mcg). The need for other nutrients, such as iron, increases dramatically during pregnancy and is not always compensated for by diet alone.* Multiple vitamin supplementation – during the year before becoming pregnant, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding – can help produce a healthy baby and benefit the mother through labor, delivery, breastfeeding, and postpartum.* Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research is a comprehensive supplement formulated with the special needs of pregnancy in mind. Manufactured with none of the additives and coatings usually found in mainstream prenatal tablets, Basic Prenatal includes only the most bioavailable nutrients. High-potency multiple vitamins may sometimes be difficult for a woman to "stomach," particularly during the first trimester of pregnancy. Therefore, Thorne does not include large amounts of the nutrients commonly known to cause stomach upset. Instead, these nutrients are included in their most active or absorbable forms for superior utilization.* Among these are the active forms of several of the B vitamins – pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (vitamin B6), riboflavin 5'-phosphate (vitamin B2), folinic acid and L-5-MTHF (active forms of folate), and adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12). Calcium in large doses may also cause stomach upset. Therefore, a moderate dose in the highly absorbable citrate-malate form is used. Additional calcium and magnesium can be supplemented, especially in the final trimester. Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research may also be taken by nursing mothers.   Statements and Warnings ALLERGY WARNINGS Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. PURITY Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research does not contain wheat, gluten, corn, yeast, soy, egg, dairy products, or artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or artificial flavors. This product also does not contain lactose, palmitic acid, magnesium stearate, or stearic acid. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research. INTERACTIONS As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided. Folinic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as they can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, these folate sources have not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.    Some customers have noted that this formula has a strong odor. This is particularly noticeable to patients who have been taking it long-term. The change in odor is due to the fact that we have (over the past year) changed from selenium picolinate to selenomethionine. While we believe selenomethionine is a superior form of selenium, it does have a bit of a sulfur smell, which is normal and does not reflect a problem with the product.   These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
