FOLLOW THE PROCESS - MAKE PROGRESS (Expectations)
Follow the process; make progress. Each idea builds on top of the previous on. With an understanding of the process (Find topical balance before addressing problems arising from each body system) you can then focus on specific areas of need, building from within--without upsetting other body systems.
Each client’s personal skin care regimen and the rituals you will guide them in are determined by what is happening topically due to skin dysfunction. Once you have identified the primary symptoms , you can confidently recommend the products and dietary/lifestyle Protocols for Oil/Water Balance, Cellular Communication and Structural Integrity. Set a strong foundation and you will see results in terms of skin tone, suppleness, levels of irritation and topical healing more quickly.
Expectations for Topical Discomforts
In the case of a simple oil/water imbalance it can be as little as 3 weeks.
Problems with cellular communication can look better immediately (when the offenders are removed), but the internal re-building usually takes 4-5 months.
Structural Integrity issues start to resolve in about 1 skin cycle (28 days) if your client immediately makes the recommended dietary changes, but many people have trouble with that and it takes about 3 months to see the results.
At the same time, you will begin to identify which problems are arising from each specific body system. Take note on where the skin is disrupted in each “Stress Zone” but remember that each system is interdependent on the others.
You can choose to immediately jump into nourishing the stress zone your client has the most concerns with, though it may behoove them to work through each of the the stress zones, starting at Stress Zone 1 (even if there are no particular skin symptoms arising from that zone). Each Zone will take a different amount of time for each person. Your client does not need to master each zone before incorporating the next one, but make sure that they have an understanding of the fundamentals.
Expectations for Stress Bumps
Stress Bumps in the Primary Stage become less noticeable or cease to be symptomatic when the stress in the corresponding body system is resolved. This may be immediate or may take up to 7 years (if it even fully resolves). No problem--the when the skin is functioning properly it is meant to handle these situations without too much trauma!
Secondary Stage Stress Bumps resolve when the skin is functioning optimally (see above with skin dysfunction) and the stress bumps no longer become pimples or the red itchy spots no longer get infected, etc.
Most of the time, we are talking about The Ghosts of Pimples Past (papules or pimples that have been suppressed and are coming back to haunt you as hardened deposits or sebum and intracellular debris) when we are talking about Stress Bumps in the Tertiary Phase. These generally take about one month for every year of suppression to return to the surface and resolve. Luckily, they no longer return as itchy papule or pus-filled pustules (pimples) and are removed easily with a facial.
Finally, your client reaches a tipping point. For some, this may not mean no more underground lumps or bumps (yet), but it certainly means clear (non-irritated) skin for at least 80% of the time. This is where we focus on the final tertiary conditions: PIH, Scars and wrinkles. The skin is happy and just continues to get better and better from there!
