I would like to express my sincere thanks to the hosting Section Nippon – President Ms. Pamela Adkins, Mr Kazunari Kotake, liaison Mr. Ken Kume and to their team for their hard work in organizing a successful and memorable event. Special thanks to the sponsors for their contribution that made the Congress possible, to the lecturers and speakers, who shared their knowledge and presented valuable information to the delegates and to all our CIDESCO Members and delegates who attended the Congress. The CIDESCO meetings held before and during the Congress were also very constructive and successful – thoroughly enjoyed by the participants. At the General Assembly a number of important issues were discussed and decisions were taken. Also the Board Members presented the yearly reports on their portfolios and taking this opportunity, I would like to thank them, once again, for their commitment and hard work. The message was clear, that CIDESCO must keep the leading role in Education that currently possess worldwide and we should meet the challenge of the global economic down turn with optimism and determination. It could even be the appropriate time to provide people with the “alternative solution” by giving them the opportunity to acquire the appropriate skills to pursue a career in Beauty and Spa Therapy for a secure employment and better future! During the General Assembly three Sections received Anniversary award plagues for their membership with CIDESCO: Section Israel – 50 years, Section Russia – 10 years and Section Slovenia – 10 years. Also the CIDESCO Award winners were officially announced and they were presented with the awards and certificates during the Gala evening: Rieberth Elders Meijer – Medaille d’ Or, Anita Erika Burki - Medaille du Merite, and Bronwyn Conroy - Medaille d’ Esthetique, for Educational Services. The Schools Meeting chaired by Education Board Member Josephine Wackett included an agenda with very interesting items, fully satisfying the 90 CIDESCO Accredited Schools that attended this meeting. Important topics were also presented and discussed during the Examiners Workshop, attended by 30 CIDESCO Examiners – including a very useful forum with the examiners’ active participation. Supporting CIDESCO Education is the Education Committee and I would like to thank the Chairperson of the Committee, our Honorary President Ursula van Deelen for her continuous support and commitment to CIDESCO and also the Committee Members for their work. Members from several CIDESCO Accredited Beauty Centres attended the annual Beauty Centre Workshop where the participants were informed of ways to improve sales and revenue in their beauty salons. Last but by no means least, special thanks to our Secretariat; Anne Maestrini, Gerard Gordon, Sandra Ghezzi, Graziella Colacicco, Sandy Aerne for their commitment and good work for CIDESCO. As you are aware the 59th CIDESCO World Congress and Exhibition will take place in Stockholm, Sweden from 26-30 May 2010, hosted by CIDESCO Section Sweden.

The island is famous for its rich culture, age-old traditions and philosophies that blend comfortably with its religious beliefs. TRI HITA KARANA Tri Hita Karana is the all embracing Balinese philosophy of life that encourages a peaceful balance between mankind, the environment and the spiritual world. The Almighty God – man – environment equation is an integral part of the Balinese Hindu view that this harmony is an essential religious goal. For example, based on Tri Hita Karana every traditional Balinese home must have certain plants to promote harmony growing in the courtyard, because in Bali, plants, herbs and water hold sway. WATER – UNIVERSAL HEALER Although Western medicines and physicians are widely available in Bali, the island is also home to all kinds of natural healing and cures found in early Balinese texts. Indeed, the ancient Usada Yeh manuscript actually describes water as the main ingredient of life and the best medicine. Thus holy water is used to cure the sick who drink it, bathe in it or are splashed with it. One of the island’s oldest, sacred springs, Tirta Empul in Tampaksiring, is so revered for its power to heal and rejuvenate by Balinese and Balian healers that they come from all over Bali to purify themselves in its clear waters every year. HOLY WATER – THE MAIN ELEMENT FOR CLEANSING MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT Every aspect of Hindu-Dharma worship is accompanied by holy water, from personal devotion at a household shrine to island-wide ceremonies. It acts as an agent of God’s power and Dr. Martha Tilaar is seen as containing a mystic force. Holy Water is obligatory for every ceremony in Bali. For small temple ceremonies, holy Water is usually taken from the Beji, but for a bigger ceremony it comes from the sea. Holy water also serves as medicine for sickness caused by magic or the wrath of God and someone in a trance is brought out of it with Holy water. No Balinese Hinduism ceremony is considered perfect nor can it be completed without holy Water. PANCHA MAHABUTHA BATHING Reflecting this natural way of life, Dr. Martha Tilaar has created a bathing routine based on the Balinese belief of panca mahabutha, using the five elements—air (akasa), wind (bayu), sunlight (teja), water (apah) and earth (pertiwi). This begins with bathing in water (apah) in the Balinese way, where water cleanses the seen as well as the unseen—balancing both sekala and niskala. This is followed by a mud bath to renew contact with the ground’s energy namely, the earth (pertiwi). Next comes bathing in sunlight (teja) to dry the mud and allow its curative properties to draw out impurities and toxins. Finally the wind (bayu) dries and cools the body, bringing fresh energy. The combination of these four bathing elements provides a totally rejuvenating ritual. 7 8 CIDESCO IntErnatIOnal lInK KNOWLEDGE THE CONCEPT OF BALINESE BEAUTY PANCA SHRI AYU AND TRI KAYA PARISUDHA In the ancient Balinese teachings overall beauty is described as the perfect blending of the five outer principles of beauty, panca shri ayu, with the twelve spiritual laws of life that govern inner beauty known as the suba karma. Panca shri ayu is a concept that was brought to Bali by the ancient Hindu teachings, originally written in Sanskrit. Panca is five, sri represents fertility, the source of life, and ayu means beauty. Inner beauty is taught through the 12 suba karma laws summarized as Tri Kaya Parisudha. Tri means three, Kaya means behaviour and Parisudha means clean and holy. HISTORY OF SPA IN INDONESIA Shui Pani Amarta (means water life) Ancient artefacts and literature were found confirming these rituals. A relief in the famous Borobudur Buddhist temple built in 824 shows the life of Buddha, shown as he is preparing to bathe in a pool full of flowers, aloe and sandalwood. Serat Centhini, a respected literary work written in 1872, refers to bathing places in the Javanese kingdoms of Mojopahit and Medangkemulan, made from a spring high up in the Dieng Plain. THE BALINESE SPA Dr. Martha Tilaar, founder of the Martha Tilaar Group, draws upon these three concepts “Shui – Pani – Amerta,” to create her philosophy for the Balinese Holistic Spa. THE HOLISTIC SPA For the Balinese, water is not only used to cleanse but is an integral part of their life cycle and ritual. As the main ingredient in Spa therapy, water affects several aspects of life and is central in achieving the balance of body, mind, soul and Almighty God which is the ultimate goal. When water is used for sekala and niskala, and subsequently for holistic Spa treatments, it is combined with flowers, leaves and the three values; tantra for consciousness, mantra for inner vibration, and yantra for artefact vibration. Through prayer, water is transformed into a miraculous substance known as tirta that has the power to cleanse spiritual impurities and protect from or heal damage from evil influences. THE BASIC SPA TREATMENT Based on the Balinese Usada Taru Pramana, the basic concept of water treatments is to balance the elements of Phita (light/heat), Kapha (liquid/water) and Vayu (air) in the body.The Balinese Spa is unique because it combines fresh flowers, leaves, Balinese gamelan music, or natural humming sounds with dhupa and dipa. Dhupa provides inner strength and unity with Hyang Widhi, (God Almighty) while dipa, a symbol that God is present and will guide the Spa treatments. SECRET OF THE SPA THERAPIST In order for therapists to achieve inner strength and provide effective relaxing treatments it is vital that they exercise, do Balinese gymnastics and meditate regularly. THE RITUAL BALINESE SPA A Balinese Spa treatment combines traditional massage techniques to please mind and body. Each treatment starts with a Balinese ritual followed by Telon water (water prepared with three exotic flowers) and special Balinese massage techniques. Distinctive natural products are used and made from ingredients found in every Balinese kitchen and garden. BALINESE MASSAGE SECRET The traditional Balinese massage is based on the movements of animals and can be described in 9 basic massage movements: • Golden worm • Heron peck • Tiger claw • Divine palm shaking the earth • Kneading • Crab pinchers • Flexing the dragon’s tail • Sacred fist • Releasing water and wind CIDESCO International Link 62, February 2010 9 RICE, COCONUT AND SPICES The Main Spa Ingredients Rice, the staple food in Indonesia, is a vital ingredient in Balinese Spa products because it lightens and improves the skin’s elasticity and is part of all body and skin masks or scrubs. For most people the coconut is seen only as a tropical fruit that is beneficial for health and has many practical applications; but to the Balinese it represents a source of life and is essential for every ceremony. This unique formula of rice, coconut, spices and flowers combined with Balinese massage techniques is the essence for the Bali Spa. BALINESE Boreh Recipe: Warms and soothes aching muscles and helps to combat colds and flu. This treatment starts with a traditional massage and continues with a paste of Boreh powder and essential oils is smoothed over the body. After the Boreh is removed the treatment is followed with a gentle Jacuzzi bath and an application of ginger body lotion. Ingredients: • Nutmeg • Clove • Ginger • Sandalwood • Cinnamon • Ginger • Turmeric • Galangal (Kaempferia galanga) • Lemon Grass • Fenugreek • Rice Powder 10 grams 10 grams 10 grams 10 grams 10 grams 10 grams 10 grams 10 grams 20 grams 5 grams 50 grams Procedure Soak rice in tap water for two weeks, change the water regularly and then drain off the water. Heat the wet rice in a dry pan until dry and a tempting aroma is released. Cool and grind to a fine powder. Grind all the other ingredients to a fine powder. Mix with rice powder homogeneously. Directions: Mix one tablespoon of Balinese boreh with three tablespoons of water to make a paste. Rub evenly on the body, hands, and feet, and wrap the body in a cloth. Leave on until dry and rinse off with tepid water. Treatment: • Wipe the whole body gently with a towel dampened with “Three Fragrant Flowers Water”. Then massage each chakra point, starting from the top of the head to stimulate the Sweta Kamala chakra. • Use the hair stimulating oil for head and scalp massage and the Traditional Balinese coconut oil mixture with additional herbal oils mixed according to the client’s request for the rest of the body. • Start with a Balinese aromatherapy massage to soothe and rejuvenate the mind and body. Continue with a body scrub using freshly shredded coconut blended with nourishing coconut cream to leaving the skin softened and lustrous; then apply a Balinese Boreh body mask, carefully avoiding sensitive areas. • While the body mask is drying focus on a stimulating foot massage. Lastly, soak in an exotic herbal bath whilst the client sips the juice of a fresh young coconut straight out of the shell. Finally, towel the body dry and apply a body lotion to moisturize the skin. n 10 CIDESCO IntErnatIOnal lInK HEALTH a time of Change An Approach to Beauty Treatments during Pregnancy By Dr. Rochy Leibowitz Pregnancy is a time of change – visible, functional and emotional – with most of the change being hormone-driven. Just as people embrace the news of pregnancy in many and varied ways – some with joy, some with despair, some with relief, and others with disbelief – so, too, are the body changes in pregnancy many and varied. Some women glow with pregnancy, their skin radiant and their bodies blossoming. Others are not so lucky! They suffer from blotchy skin, pigmented cheeks, their bodies become swollen and uncomfortable and they suffer a Dr. Rochy Leibowitz multitude of misery-making maladies CIDESCO International Examiner such as morning sickness, heartburn and fluid retention in their legs! If ever there is a time when pampering is most welcome, this is it! As a beauty therapist there is much you can do to enhance the experience of pregnancy for your client. But a word of caution ... even though pregnancy is not an illness, it is a time of huge POTENTIAL RISK – and prevention of anything untoward that might endanger the life of the unborn child is the most important consideration in everything you, as a professional, offer the pregnant client. During the third trimester there is rapid growth of the foetus, and most of the organs start functioning. The foetus uses the time to grow in size and for organ systems to mature. The most important rule when planning facial treatments, body therapy, aromatherapy or spa therapy treatments for the pregnant client is this: IF IN DOUBT ... DON’T. In other words, in nonessential situations, if there is any doubt at all about the absolute safety and effect of the treatment on the developing baby, it is better to avoid the situation. Pregnancy can be divided into roughly three trimesters of three months each. Each trimester has different risk factors to consider. The major risk factors in the first trimester relate to abnormal foetal developments and early miscarriages. It is worth noting that for the first six to eight weeks the client may be unaware of being pregnant, and this poses perhaps the greatest risk since procedures may take place that would be detrimental to the client, were it known that she were pregnant! The first trimester is when fertilisation takes place, the foetus is implanted in the uterus, and the very early stages of development take place. During this time the rudiments of all the major organ systems appear. So in the case of client of child-bearing age, it is recommended not only to ask during the consultation if she is pregnant, but also if she may be pregnant, or if she is planning a pregnancy. And treat all three possibilities in the same way – as if she were pregnant. We have no exact knowledge of which influences can affect the development of the foetus at this stage but there are many. Pregnant women are consequently advised to avoid any possible risks – especially high risk food such as raw or under-cooked meat The second trimester is when the organs and organ systems develop, and by the end of these three months the foetus resembles a baby with almost all the organs complete. CIDESCO International Link 62, February 2010 11 and fish, deli-type food and un-pasteurised milk, and raw cheese as well as alcohol, smoking and infectious illnesses. of a very gentle manual massage adapted and intended specifically for a pregnancy. Most salons do not provide food or alcohol for their clients (although light meals may be offered in a spa environment), but it is important to at least be aware of the guidelines. Avoid vacuum suction and lymphatic drainage of the legs in the case of oedema, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. BE SCRUPULOUS ABOUT HYGIENE!! It is assumed that a smoke-free environment exists in every professional beauty therapy environment – but this is even more important if a client is pregnant. Inhaling smoke may also cause damage! Most infectious diseases are no more serious for non-pregnant women than for pregnant women of a similar age, but some infections can be more serious because of the potential for transmission to the foetus and include Varicella (Chickenpox), Rubella (German Measles), Cytomegalovirus infection, Toxoplasmosis and Listeriosis. Good basic hygiene together with sterilisation processes as well as a common-sense policy of not treating clients who have infections such as flu and rashes, will go a long way to reducing the risk of infection and cross-infection in your work environment. The second trimester is generally the time of pregnancy of lowest risk, and usually the most pleasurable! The hormonal excesses of early pregnancy have settled, morning sickness is generally uncommon and the initial exhaustion and emotional turmoil belong to the past. This is the time when most pregnant clients will be most likely be interested in routine treatments, and minimal adaptation is required. Avoid spa treatments involving immersion in communal baths, where the risk for potential infection is high. Avoid sauna and heat treatments. Avoid contra-indicated essential oils which may have hormone- like effects (such as fennel and aniseed), toxic effects (such as sassafras and wintergreen) or effects on the uterus (such as jasmine or peppermint). Ensure you consult a comprehensive list before using ANY essential oils to ensure their safety. Note that certain restrictions exist after childbirth as well – vacuum suction, vibratory treatments and faradic contraction should not be applied for two to three months. If the child was born by Caesarean section, it is important not to treat the abdominal scar tissue for at least six months. Being aware of the special considerations of pregnancy. When using insight, flexibility and adaptability, a programme that is beneficial and enjoyable for the pregnant client can easily be created by a professional, empathic and conscientious therapist. The main risk associated with the third trimester is premature labour. The discomfort of this trimester is due to the rapidly growing foetus – rapid weight gain, fluid retention, bladder and stomach pressure – all the discomfort of carrying a large number of extra kilograms and a ‘parasite’ who is demanding maternal nutrients such as iron, calcium and protein. Breast enlargement and tenderness is also common at this stage. Treatments during this period need to be adapted to take into account the discomfort of the client in certain positions (sitting up or lying on her side is far more comfortable than on her back, and lying on the abdomen is not an option) and avoiding substances (such as certain aromatherapy oils) or actions, that may induce labour.There are a number of common-sense principles which apply to planned beauty therapy treatments of all pregnant clients: No electrical equipment should be used – especially no high frequency or galvanic currents that involve a circuit through the body. No treatments in the areas of the breasts or abdomen should be applied in the first or third trimesters with the exception These treatments can be extremely rewarding – for both client and therapist – and are certainly worth the extra time, thought and planning required to take them from routine (not recommended!) to extra-ordinary. n 12 CIDESCO IntErnatIOnal lInK STOCKHOLM 2010 Beauty on Water Stockholm hosts the 59th CIDESCO World Congress & Exhibition By Elisabeth Engström Stockholm, the Royal capital of Sweden, has the privilege of hosting the 59th CIDESCO World Congress and Exhibition on the 26th to 30th of May 2010.

The school celebrated this achievement by hosting a luncheon at the prestigious Roof Gardens in Kensington, which was attended by past and present students, well wishers and families. The school celebration at the Roof Gardens The following dignitaries attended: Marion Matthews - former editor Health & Beauty, Baljeet Suri - Owner of the Ray Cochrane School, Jan Prendergast - former Lord Mayor of Westminster, Ursula van Deelen - Honorary President CIDESCO International and Val Cooke - Chairman BABTAC. The venue provided a perfect backdrop to a memorable day of inspiring speeches, tasty food and a great time catching up on old times! Ms Ursula van Deelen, Guest of Honour congratulates the school on its outstanding achievement and talks about the time in 1986 when the school’s ownership and reputation were transferred from Ms Ray Cochrane to Ms Baljeet Suri. Mr Graeme Etheridge, Director of Investors In People UK, took this occasion to present the coveted IIP Award to Ms Baljeet Suri and staff in recognition of the Ray Cochrane Beauty School’s commitment to its continuing development. Mr Etheridge was reported to say ‘If Ray Cochrane were alive today she would have just about celebrated her 100th birthday’. He did, however, admit that he ‘did not know her exact age but felt that it would be fitting that 100 would coincide neatly with the 100th CIDESCO examination at the school she founded 54 years ago. And that’s a date he was sure of’. This year also marks the 35th anniversary of Ms Ray Cochrane being awarded the CIDESCO Gold Medal of Merit in 1973 and the 30th anniversary of her becoming an honorary member of CIDESCO in 1978. These awards were in recognition of the valuable contribution she made to establish the beauty therapy profession in Great Britain. Ms Cochrane was fortunate to have an instructor at her school with the same passion drive as she had herself to promote the beauty therapy profession. Ms Baljeet Suri worked with Ray Cochrane for six years before taking over the school in 1986 and continued running the school according to Ray Cochrane’s teaching methods. Keeping the name of the school unchanged ensured that Ray Cochrane’s good name lives on in the world of professional beauty therapy. Mr Kyriacos Poupoutsis, President of CIDESCO International, wrote the following letter to congratulate the Ray Cochrane School “On behalf of CIDESCO International, I would like to congratulate you on the completion of the hundredth CIDESCO International Examinations. It is a tremendous achievement and a memorable occasion, 47 years after Mr George Dumont - founder and former President of CIDESCO International - conducted the first CIDESCO examination at the Ray Cochrane School in Great Britain.” The Ray Cochrane Beauty School reached an impressive milestone when it held its 100th CIDESCO Examination in August 2008. We wish the Ray Cochrane Beauty School all the best for the future and look forward to celebrating their next 100th examination. n CIDESCO International Link 62, February 2010 CIDESCO IntErnatIOnal lInK SCHOOLS / 15 another fantastic year The Yorkshire College of Beauty Therapy celebrates By CIDESCO Staff Editor The 7th August, 2009 saw the 26th Graduation of CIDESCO students at the Yorkshire College of Beauty Therapy.

She also worked with several dermatologists and studied further the sciences of the skin, body, electricity and chemistry. In due course Margrit became a teacher of apprentices in her salon for students attending esthetic classes. (The Swiss System of training included both classroom hours and apprentice work). Margrit was active in the Swiss Section, and after earning her CIDESCO Diploma in 1991; she began to hold preparatory classes for other Swiss estheticians who wanted to sit for the CIDESCO Examination. In 1992 Margrit was elected to the International CIDESCO Board as Secretary General and again in 1996. During these years she was an active International CIDESCO examiner. In 1997 Margrit passed the first CIDESCO school examination in the United States and followed it with a U.S. Section Post Graduate Examination. When few post-graduate candidates passed the examination, she realised the need for CIDESCO training in the U.S., as opposed to the “Esthetic Training” that was the norm. She offered to come to the States and teach the CIDESCO Preparatory Classes that were being offered in Switzerland and the rest of the world to Post Graduate Examination candidates. In 1998 Margrit taught the first CIDESCO Preparatory Class at The Institute of Cosmetology and Esthetics in 1998. At that time she was offered the opportunity to move to the U.S. to direct and teach the CIDESCO Program at The Institute of Cosmetology and Esthetics (the first CIDESCO School in the United States). In January 1999 Margrit moved to the U.S. and began the daunting task of enriching the Esthetic and Body Curriculum to include the CIDESCO Syllabus and still stay within the many different state laws that exist in the U.S. Margrit joined the NCA (the U.S. CIDESCO Section) and has contributed by teaching CIDESCO education for the Section at many different trade shows. She knows her subject well and is always updating and learning more. She is willing to share her knowledge and help any and everyone who wants to learn. Margrit has used her CIDESCO Diploma to learn, to study, to travel the world and share her knowledge as an international examiner. She is the ultimate teacher and can make difficult subjects easily understood by anyone wanting to learn. She has encouraged other Diploma Holders to become teachers and to go to other parts of the world and share the CIDESCO knowledge and education that they have received just as she had. Margrit continues to direct and teach at The Institute of Cosmetology and Esthetics in Houston, Texas. She is on the Education Committee for CIDESCO International and is always up-dating examinations and questions to keep them relevant to the everchanging developments in equipment and ingredients in today’s market. We salute Margrit Altenburg as an example of the Ideal CIDESCO Educator and Diploma Holder. n CIDESCO International Link 62, February 2010 CIDESCO IntErnatIOnal lInK BRAIN TEASER BASIC ANATOMY IMPRESSUM Editorial: Elise Wessels Proof-reader: Karen Roth-Nicholls Graphics: diezi.com Print: Offset Haller AG – Oberglatt, Switzerland © February 2010, CIDESCO International – All Rights reserved CIDESCO International Waidstrasse 4a · CH-8037 Zurich · Switzerland Tel: +41 44 448 2200 · Fax: +41 44 448 2201 info@cidesco.com · www.cidesco.com 19
