The Esthetician program teaches students basic and advanced esthetic techniques, such as skin care, nail care, makeup application, and hair removal. Students will learn various techniques used to decrease tension and promote relaxation, such as Swedish massage, Chinese massage/tuina, and aromatherapy. In addition, students will be taught to approach beauty holistically through components that provide an in-depth knowledge of the human body and emphasize overall health and wellness. The Spa Practitioner program trains students to meet the changing needs of North American spas. The program provides students with a broad education in Eastern philosophy and Western spa techniques. Students study human physiology, structural anatomy, and the movements of the bones and muscles. They also learn about the body's systems and their relationships with each other. Info session attendees will learn more about the programs, tour the campus, see live esthetics and spa therapy demonstrations, and meet staff and students. They'll also be entered to win one of several prizes including a PCU backpack and gift certificates for Spa/TCM treatments at the student-run PCU Holistic Healing Centre.

Natural Beauty and Health Care- Understanding Labels - Associated Content Posted: 26 Jan 2011 04:13 PM PST What you're reading on that beauty bottle may not mean what you think it means. In our search for more natural beauty and health care, we often look for over the counter products that make promises of being You might be surprised to know that many do not mean what you think they do. "Dermatologist tested"- When you read these words on a product, you probably think this means the product was tested and approved by a skin specialist. However, there are many parameters under which such a test may have fallen and the product makers would still be able to print these words. It could mean that there was a legitimate, controlled trial or it could be that staffers in the office tried the product or anywhere in between. You can never be certain just because the words are on the bottle or box. "Oil-free"- If the label says oil-free, it doesn't necessarily mean there is no oil at all in the product. While it's true that products labeled "oil free" do not contain certain ingredients such as mineral oil or plant oils. However, it could still clog your pores or make your skin greasy because it might still have oil-like products. Types of waxes, vegetable oils and even silicones could still be in the oil-free products. "Hypoallergenic-free" - If it's listed as hypoallergenic free, you probably think that it won't cause allergic reactions like other products might. I as well as my children have a variety of allergies so this is the type of thing I really take interest in. However, just because it says hypoallergenic on the packaging does not mean it is guaranteed to not cause a reaction or even that it is less likely than other products. Cosmetic companies are not required to prove their claims of hypoallergenic-free so your best course of action is just to buy products from known, trusted sources.
