All About ilike Organics

4/11/2018

Comments

 
Result-driven organic skin care - for 60 years.
60 years ago, celebrity facialist and herbalist Molnar Danielne, a.k.a. Aunt Ilike, created ilike organic skin care using herbal remedies from her grandmother - a village herbalist in Hungary. A winner of many awards for her professional grade products and community outreach, Ilike's legacy continues as her son and grandchildren run the brand's Hungarian manufacturing facility today.

A complete line of specialized skin care products
​The products that make up the ilike organic skin care line are currently available in 45 countries. The extensive line of ilike organic skin care products  provides the esthetician and clientele with specific products designed for a variety of skin types and needs. Many ilike organics products are also designed to allow customization either by blending with other products or diluting. Your esthetician can help you select the products ideally suited to your skin.

Our philosophy-Mother nature knows what her children need.
We are the children of Nature. Nature feeds us when we are hungry; She gives warmth when we are cold, and cures us when tortured by illnesses. If we listen to Her advice, Nature teaches us how to live in love, peace and harmony.

Nature indeed provides an abundance of solutions for our everyday needs - that was Aunt Ilike's philosophy when she created these products and it is the philosophy of ilike organic skin care from Szép Élet. Every ilike product is full of vitamins, fruit acids and bioflavonoids, and combined with other active ingredients they treat, nourish and beautify the skin, rejuvenating it from the inside out.

You will instantly notice the difference between ilike organics and other skin care lines. Because we strive to maintain the natural state of the herbal ingredients, you will see, smell and feel the difference.

Our secret- About our process and ingredients
Our fruit and herbal ingredients are formulated and processed in a unique way under specially controlled conditions that maintains the vitality of over 150 organic herbs we use. Because of this special manufacturing process ‒ using whole raw pulps, not extracts ‒ you can immediately experience the rich, deep penetrating effects of our products, as well as their magnificent aromas and colors.

The products of ilike organic skin care contain no artificial colors; therefore the color and even texture of the products can change slightly batch by batch and may even vary by season. Just like there are no two identically looking apples... Our skin care line does not contain genetically modified ingredients (GMOs) or animal by-products, and is never tested on animals.

Due to the uniquely rich Hungarian soil and the climate perfectly suited for agriculture, our herbs, vegetables and fruits are very rich in nutrients and aromas. They are organically grown, hand harvested, hand selected and made in very small batches. The ilike organics products are suitable for vegetarian lifestyles, with most of them being vegan.

Some ilike organic skin care products are blended with a unique water source - that of Lake Hajduszoboszlo. Searching for oil in 1925, this subterranean thermal spring was discovered by a group of scientists. Research revealed that a combination of salt and fresh water contained in this remnant of an ancient sea submerged by an earthquake contained plant and animal life. The result is water that includes minerals and trace elements and a pH level of 9.5, which is beneficial for dry skin. The water also filtered through layers of mineral rich earth with nutrients being fermented and heated at approximately 73 degrees Celsius (163 degrees Fahrenheit) and preserved for centuries. Some ilike organic skin care products also use algae from this unique and rich source.

Besides well-known herbs and vegetables, there are some unique ingredients in ilike organic skin care products, such as: Quince Apple, Stonecrop, Hungarian Cherry Pepper, Rosehip, Sour Cherry, Blackthorn, Medlar, Nettle, Clover, Soapwort, Elderflower, Ivy, Ichthammol, Hungarian Medicinal Thermal Water and Horsetail.

All of our products are nut- and gluten-free and suit vegetarian/vegan lifestyles. We do not use genetically modified ingredients, and our products are never tested on animals.

Skin Sin #1- Being a Sun Goddess

11/1/2017

You may be wondering if getting some sun is really good for you…Should you cover up or let it all hang out?

We’ve all heard the horrors of what too much sun exposure can do to our skin. You know, the wrinkles, the freckles, the sunspots, sunburn and three types of skin cancer. But on the other hand, there are ups and downs in not getting enough vitamin D. Oh wait, it also turns out getting sunshine may have an anti-cancer effect.

If you are trying to digest all this conflicting information and your head is spinning, you aren’t alone. What’s a girl (or guy) to do?

Over the last few years, sun protection messages arose as an essential public health message in response to rapidly increasing rates of skin cancers.Then everyone began slathering on sunscreen, which blocks out nearly all UV radiation and that caused health risks from too little Vitamin D.

Let’s just get this out of the way. No one is advocating for you to bake yourself into a leather shoe. A sunburn is still a really bad thing, period. But we all need vitamin D to stay healthy, and sunlight is the best source. Experts say it’s a delicate balancing act based on your skin pigmentation, where you live, and what time of day you are outside, and for how long. If you are a fair-skinned person you require way less sun at noon (only a few minutes without sunscreen) compared to someone with black skin who may require up to six times more sun to get the same amount of vitamin D. Ask a professional at FACES how much time to spend in the sun and take the mystery out of the balancing act.

A great way to “undo” the damage caused by too much sun is through our incredible Cosmedix Peels. Even though our Sun Undone Promotion (usually done every year in October) is over we offer a series of peels at a discounted rate all year long! While the weather is cooling down and the beach isn't calling your name- head on over to the spa and undo that damage! Remember- being proactive is the best thing you can do for you skin.

Stay tuned for more posts about the Seven Skin Sins!!

Your Spa Questions Answered!

9/21/2017

What should I wear to the spa? Do I have to get naked for a massage??
Comfort and practicality should be your main considerations.
We understand that nudity can cause great anxiety for guests. It is important to remember our goal is for our guests
to feel as relaxed as possible. Never hesitate to voice any concerns or discomforts you have about clothing removal
during your visit. ‘Draping’ is often used within treatment rooms to enable full body massages, wraps and scrubs.
With draping you will strip (completely, or to underwear), lie down on a massage table and cover yourself with the
blanket and or sheet on the table. Once in position, the therapist will return to the room and carefully move the fabric
to expose a specific area of your body to be treated at a time- while ensuring modesty. Alternatively, you also have
the option of wearing disposable underwear (aka: spa panties) for hygiene reasons and to protect your under
garments from contact with potentially staining therapeutic oils, lotions or tanning products.

When to book an appointment? How late is too late to cancel one, what consequences should I expect?
If you're scheduling last-minute you are relying on those last-minute cancellations, calling first thing in the morning is
best (for us, that’s between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m.) By this time someone has cleared the cancellation voicemails and
the lines are opening up for booking. The more flexible you are on appointment time, the more likely you’ll have a
chance to snag one of those last-minute openings. Most spas- including us- ask you to provide a valid credit card to
hold your reservation, much like a hotel does when you reserve a room. A typical cancellation policy is ’24 hours’,
meaning you have until 24 hours prior to your appointment to cancel, to avoid being charged in full for your
appointment.

What is the protocol if I am not satisfied with the service I’ve received?
Communication is key! Don’t be afraid to let your technician know exactly what you want/need and your specific
expectations- before and during service if necessary. Whether it be lighter or more intense massage pressure, an
eyebrow, bikini or nail shape you prefer, down to the essential oil scent you prefer- she wants to know! If you are
unsatisfied address your concerns with management- they're alway willing to make sure you receive the 5 star
service you deserve!

How much should you tip an esthetician or spa service provider?
Gratuities are not included the service prices but can be added at the time of payment at your discretion. It is
customary to tip an esthetician, massage therapist or nail technician 20% of the pre-tax service value. Although this is
standard practice for a great service, a smaller tip and a really nice note is always appreciated.
