What is Somatology?

Somatology is the study of the body and its functions. We can use our background knowledge to treat our clients holistically, mind, body and soul through different treatments( from facials to body care treatments) focusing on in salon treatment, home care advice on exercise, nutrition and products!  We are not able to cure any diseases but we can work alongside doctors to help treat our clients in the best way possible. We are not only concerned with what goes on inside the body but can provide you with superficial treatments as such as make-up, waxing, manicures and pedicures. The subjects I study include Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition as well as treatment and therapies such as Aromatherapy and Reflexology( which I LOVE). It is very exciting and always keeps me on my toes. 

However, at the moment I am studying from home due to the lock-down in South Africa. We would normally go into class all week and have practical classes for three out of  five days. We practice on each other as students so we get to do the treatment and experience the treatment for ourselves as well, which is really cool. This way we can come to the conclusion which treatments we like best. I am privileged to say that I study at Isa Carstens Academy in Lynnwood, Pretoria and can't wait to go back.

Enzymatic vs. Granular Exfoliation

What is the difference? Don't they both do the same job? Is Enzymatic even effective?  Enzymatic exfoliators and Granular exfoliators are both know for the same job: to get rid of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. But, what is the difference and which one is most suitable for my skin? Enzymatic exfoliators are exfoliators without the abrasive kernels in it that brush down on the dead cells on your skin. Except these exfoliators contain enzymes which break down bonds between the dead cells on the surface of the skin which removes dead skins cells faster. Enzymes include bromelain from the pineapple and papain from a papaya. You can use this exfoliator if your skin is more sensitive and you want something less harsh compared to a peel or even a granular exfoliator. One can also use this exfoliator if you experience breakout which is perfect and won't aggravate the skin. Now what is a granular exfoliator? Granular exfoliators are mechanical exfoliators that buff the skin
