Why I Use Osmosis Products In My Skin Care Practice

Choosing the right skin care line for my spa was an exciting - and overwhelming - endeavor. My years of working at high end spas had put me in contact with a wide variety of products from super intense prescription strength peels to floral scented lotions that helped to remind you of your grandmother, but not much else. 

One of the driving factors of starting my own business was the frustrations of having to use and promote products that I didn’t believe in so I was ready to take on this task with a slow speed and a discriminating eye. 

I started my process by simply reaching out to a myriad of skin care companies. After filling out the appropriate paperwork I started receiving skin care samples daily. Initially it felt like winning a sweepstakes but putting terrible products on my skin repeatedly became an unwelcome chore. 
Osmosis, however, called me before sending out any products. The representative wanted to talk about my goals for my new business and what I was looking for in a line. She then wanted to know about my specific skin care concerns and then sent me products specifically formulated for my skin type. 

Once I received the products I was blown away. The science sounded great - non traumatic yet highly effective prescription strength products. In fact it sounded too good to be true. How could a product deliver a high potency of retinaldehyde into the dermal layer of my skin without causing sensitivity, irritation, hyper pigmentation or dryness to my epidermis? I began using the gentle enzyme cleanser Purify followed by Correct Vitamin A Serum and then finished by the plumping and hydrating Quench + Moisturizer. It is a very straight forward program but I saw results in my skin immediately. My skin looked brighter, felt hydrated and balanced and my wrinkles around my mouth started to dissipate. I knew I was onto something good when someone asked me if I had gotten botox! (I hadn’t!)
The Osmosis representative was the most knowledgeable skin care rep I had ever worked with - she knew the ingredients inside and out and even helped develop a lot of the protocols that went along with the products. For my final confirmation I booked an appointment with an esthetician who was already carrying Osmosis products. She confirmed what I already knew in my gut - Osmosis was a “game changer”.
By owning my own spa I have the ability and the obligation to only use products that I completely believe in. Osmosis shows real results in all skin concerns without causing outside damage or trauma. I am truly grateful to have the ability to work with such an incredible line.
