Proto-col Instant Manicure

Q: Can I use the manicure on my feet?

The manicure has been formulated specifically for the hands due to the anti-ageing essential oils such as walnut and avocado. Although it can be used on the feet, we would suggest you use the instant pedicure which has a slightly less coarse salt content and specific anti-fungal and anti-perspirant oils for the feet.

Q: Why do I need to look after my hands?

In contrast to other parts of our body which most of the time are protected with clothing, hands (and face) are exposed to the elements: cold, heat, radiation from the sun, moisture, wind, dust, and pollution.
The effect of this exposure is red, dry chapped skin. If not counteracted, these first symptoms may further develop into excessive scaling, rash (eczema) and consequently skin may show deep cracks that may require medical treatment. Another unavoidable damaging factor is ageing. Although the aging process affects the whole body, it is very visible on the
surface skin of the hands. One of the most visible manifestations of the ageing process is dehydration and dry scaly surface skin. We think you would be wise to use a top-quality product such as the instant manicure for all these reasons.

Q: Do I need to use hand cream after the instant manicure?

Absolutely not. The quality of the essential oils in the product will moisturise the skin as the scrub exfoliates and exposes new skin for the oil to penetrate. The instant manicure will leave you with thoroughly moisturised skin and there is no need to apply a further moisturiser. Using this natural product guarantees you will never need hand cream again!

Q: Can I use the instant manicure on other parts of my body?

The instant manicure has been designed specifically for use on the hands, although we do have customers who also use it as a gentle body exfoliant with no problem.

Q: How long does the manicure take to work?

As its name suggests the instant manicure is an instant product and takes just 60 seconds to exfoliate and moisturise hands.

Proto-col Instant Pedicure

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the pedicure on my face?

We would not recommend using any Dead Sea salt scrub on your face as it is too harsh for the delicate skin on the face.

Q: I am a therapist. Can I use this as a calming treatment?

Yes. The evening primrose oil combines with the other essential oils to produce a very calming and therapeutic treatment which is enhanced if the client relaxes and reclines throughout the treatment.

Q: I have Athlete’s Foot – can I use the pedicure?

The Tea Tree Oil is a natural anti-fungal agent and so makes this product perfect for those with mild Athlete’s Foot. It acts as a preventative to the condition and is perfect for anyone who does a lot of sport or lives in trainers!

Q: Is the product suitable for people with smelly feet?

Yes. The Lemongrass acts as a natural antiperspirant so reducing the smell caused by sweat and bacteria.

Q: How often should I use the treatment?

The instant pedicure can be used daily to keep feet in tip top condition. Alternatively you can use it as a therapeutic treat whenever you’ve had a long hard day.

Q: How can we get customers to buy the product as it’s not practical to give pedicures in our outlet?

The pedicure sells very well off the back of the manicure. Give customers an instant manicure and when they love it show them the pedicure and explain the difference between the products. Both products are unisex and also make fantastic gifts. We’ve found the product to be equally popular amongst men and women.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is Collagen?

Collagen is a natural skeletal protein that represents almost 87% of the total body protein of mammals. It is the major component of skeletal and connective tissue and provides structural support. It is found throughout the body - in skin, muscle, tendon, and bone. Fibres of collagen are woven together like threads in fabric to form a framework into which new cells can grow.

Q. Why is it beneficial to counter ageing?

From the Age of 25 it is thought your body loses collagen at 1.5 % every year (e.g. age 35 loss = 15%, age 45 loss = 30% etc.) therefore this system is designed to stimulate collagen production and help replace that loss.

Q. What is special about your product?

The products are a unique collagen system and are an alternative to having collagen and botox injections. The results are progressive, it works from within and the longer you stay on the products the better your results will be.

Q. Does it work for skin?

Yes, skin is the largest organ of the body. By supplementing internally with proto-Col 100% collagen capsules your skin will improve.

Q. Does it work for nails and hair?

Yes collagen has been found to strengthen brittle nails. The effect of daily collagen ingestion on the human scalp has been studied, this showed dramatic increases in the diameter of the hair ranging between 9.3% - 11.3%. The strength of the hair was also tested and this was found to have also increased. Your hair should be stronger and more elastic as a result of taking collagen.

Q. Does it work for reducing joint / muscle pain?

Numerous recent studies have shown collagen is effective in the treatment of arthritis and joint pain.

Q. Are there any side effects?

There are NO SIDE EFFECTS.

Q. What source is proto-Col Collagen?

Our Collagen is Bovine Collagen and comes from hide split. This
is the same collagen as used in injections except that it is processed differently. As it is from a bovine source it is not suitable or vegetarians.

Q. I am on medication can I take the capsules?

You should always consult your doctor before starting any food supplement. Collagen is protein and is in many foodstuffs ie: egg white, meat, jelly etc, however your body cannot absorb the collagen from these foods, your stomach would break it down. proto-Col is in pure powder form and is able to penetrate the intestinal wall thus being absorbed into the body.

Q. How long will it take before I see results?

Everyone's body is different. Some people see results in the 1st week – others take a few weeks. It is important that you stick with the program for at least 3 months to give the collagen time to build up in your
system.
