Hi
Today I thought I'd share with you my Actiderm journey. Whats Actiderm? I hear you cry. Well they are a cosmecuticals company that make fantastic skin and body care, diet aids and make up. Their motto is 'Using science to get the best out of nature' Thier products are 100% alergen and paraben free and with thier make up also being talc free and the added bonus of being cruelty free too.
I need to just give you a little disclaimer that I joined actiderm as an ambassador this month and for good reason too but this is not about me selling these products, its about why I came to join the Actiderm family and use them as part of my existing business.
It must be about 2 Years ago that I went to my first actiderm pamper evening. It's a kind of ann summers deal where you all go to a host's home and they demonstrate the products, you then choose to buy, and trust me most people buy as the results are undeniable. The consultant (as they were called then) demonstrated an inch loss wrap where the lady lost 8 inches in total from three points around her mid section, the wraps are not dehydrative so in order to loose the inches you need to drink at least 2 litres of water in the days running up to the wrap and the days folowing. I wont bore you with the science of it and quite frankly who cares IT WORKS !! There was also a demonstration where half a facial was performed on the host, the results were unbelievable, this lady looked as if one side of her face had been ironed. Needless to say I wanted a piece of this action, my skin complaint (and we all have one don't we) is melasma, dark spots, caused by hormones and thyroid medication. I am very self concious of them in the summer as no amount of covering conceals them the consultant suggested fresh start mask, a 15% glycolic acid mask that you use for 3 days on then 3 days off, I however use it for 3 days per week and otehr acids that are more gentle on all other days. It not only lightened my dark spots it refined my skin got rid of 80% of my blackheads and generally brightened things up. I now cant live without it.
It was a long while before I met the lovely Sara at a pamper event at christmas and we hit it off immediately, it was almost like we had met in a past life. Sara is an Actiderm ambassador and is in love with brand too and like me in the beauty business and after numerous conversations I made it very clear I wasn't up for at home sales again but I would host a party, I purchased wraps (for the first of 3 times so far) and more fresh start mask.
Being a beauty professional I am always on the look out for new and better products that really show results for my clients and for months I had been researching and trying out new products that have an anti ageing kick to them, natural is lovely but there is something missing when it comes to anti ageing. Nothing seems to meet the mark for me. Then a brand new joining offer atrted with Actiderm, no targets, no pressure to sell just great incentives and great products. I didn't jump in strait away but the more I thought about it the more I wanted in. If I could use this in my business and maybe earn some extra cash too it was worth thinking about, I'd seen the results for myself I really don't know why I waited so long to get stuck in, Worried about the pressure of being made to do parties again, it's such a tie when you are already working and have a family.
I jumped and hit the ground running!! Purchased my kit, got a website within 24 hours, got £250 sales on my launch party, and reached diamond ambassador status in the first month, I have 3 bookings in the diary that are not Actiderm related and more people wanting pamper evenings. I started the 7 day shred which im not going to lie I am sceptical about but more on that at a later date I guess, I'm only on day 2 so can't say as I've seen a difference yet.
When I sort out all of my new marketing, website, mailing list etc Actiderm will be featuring as part of my home and mobile beauty business and it will be a great asset I'm sure.
So that's my journey so far, with all the new and exciting things that constantly go on within the company I'm excited to be involved with the company. I'm quite sure it will also feature in many more blogs.
Thanks for reading
