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.
Proto-col Beauty Collagen Capsules
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.
