INSIDE THE SPA Inside The Spa continued from page 48 ANTI-AGING ROUND-UP H50 THERAPY SERUM Melissa’s Picks Each week, InsidetheSpa.com Editor Melissa Hill updates you on some of the most interesting products and ingredients in her InsidetheSpa.com blog. Here’s an excerpt from her latest post: Have clients looking to reverse the signs of aging? Recommend one of these products and watch your retail profits soar. Good Deeds There are two reasons I love the product that’s recently crossed my desk. Skincando’s CombatReady Balm is so multi-purpose, it can be used for just about anything. Bug bites? Check. Stubborn patches of dry skin? Check. Minor cuts, sunburn, scars? Check, check, check. Basically you can apply the salve to any damaged or inflamed skin and find relief. That alone would be enough to recommend it, but esthetician and owner of Skincando Sara Damelio has also found a particular niche for her products: helping soldiers overseas. Three years ago, a military wife bought the cream and sent it to her husband on duty in Iraq. Two weeks later, he called and asked her to send more—for both himself and his fellow soldiers. “They found it was the only thing that healed their sand flea bites,” says Damelio. They would get 10 to 20 bites each night, and with the hot temperatures during the day, the skin would bake and itch and not heal. Damelio sent a case with 24 jars for free. As word spread, she heard from more soldiers requesting the balm and began donating more. She estimates she’s sent more than 3,500 jars over three years.
