Ive always used the professional products im using in the salon on myself at home.Over the years ive worked with and used Clarins,Elemis,E'spa and Guinot.Now i am working for myself as a mobile therapist i use Eve Taylor and find them excellent.I think if you truely believe in the products that you use on your clients and retail them then you would use them on yourself.

Some products I use at home are the same as the salon and some arent, as I too believe the same as Amy De Man, and use some non professional skincare otc products (*gasps!!*)
And the products I use are Natures Way (*further gasps*) I actually really like natures way and think they are really good, but most importantly so do my clients!!

well Sarah, I have been waiting for it!
I use Liz Earle in the salon and at home, but am now also doing academie the acad'arome range. So, am going to trying the academie range out at home once I've used up all my Liz Earle products. So will be offering the 2 ranges for the time being.
Infact, I shall be placing my order on Tuesday, and can't wait to try them out at home. I have had various samples which I've been using, but want to use the whole caboodle.
So, yes, I do practise what I preach.:green:

ooh, glad to hear it Ann
I must say, my sales of serums have gone up since I started using one myself. Nothing increases retail more than the therapist enthusing about the product - you can't do this if you use OTC products.

He he, thanks! :green:
It's taken me a while to work out what my skin likes and what it doesn't, and what is the very best for it and what it will tolerate in an emergency (if I run out/don't have access to the very best stuff!).
Eve Lom is my number one choice, which I always use when I'm at home; I use the Cleanser, TLC cream, Rescue Mask and Eye Serum. I'll sometimes use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for both cleansing and moisturising, but as it's a bit messy, I always stick to using this at home also. If I'm away for a couple of days, it is easier and convenient for me to use Simple Cleanser/Eye Makeup Remover, along with Bio Oil as my moisturiser. We have Weleda in the salon, which is not an exclusively professional product, but is rated by all who use it, and I'll sometimes use Almond Cleanser, Almond Facial Oil and Iris Facial Masque.
I always use water (either from the tap or Evian Brumisateur) as 'toner', it is the very best for your skin, and lock in its emollient properties with oil or oily cream (the only two types of moisturiser I use).
It is indeed the Magic Mitt by Jane Iredale I had recommended and sold it to Gemma when she was using wipes as a more sustainable, gentler and cheaper method of cleansing.
