Supplements reign prevalent in our current wellness culture, and aren’t expected to go anywhere soon, with nearly 75% of American adults taking them.
As holistic skin care and wellness start blending further and amid the shifting regulatory landscape and spas brainstorming new ways to serve their clientele, it begs the question—what can spa professionals do concerning supplements…if anything at all? The threads of education and observation that hold the industry together continue along the vein of nutrition, but there are limits. Estheticians should feel empowered to educate clients on the connection between good nutrition and skin while encouraging better lifestyle choices. If you feel empowered, sharing published studies on nutritional news is also acceptable.
Additionally, estheticians can build out their network of healthcare professionals and dieticians, keeping a handy and trusted referral list for clients who may be looking for help forming a nutrition plan. This is a huge tool at estheticians' disposal, given the trust built between them and their clients. In an age where there’s a flood of products, information and opinions, streamlining the process of finding a trusted, qualified professional can make a major difference in your client’s life.
One company, EZZDAY is also trying to declutter the noise surrounding supplements, using traceable, natural ingredients with proven bio-availability and real-world effectiveness. Should a client have questions deciphering claims, labels or ingredient lists, having a network of people who can weigh in and confidently do that work for them won’t just have a positive impact on their skin and your relationship, but on their overall health.
The connection between medical professionals and spa professionals is a popular topic of conversation, especially given the demand for devices that estheticians may need medical supervision to use. By building out those relationships and your network, you can grant your spa a distinct versatility in the evolving wellness landscape.
