A message
from the
President
The spirit of CIDESCO (Comite International D’Esthetique
et Cosmetologie) as envisaged by its founders George
Dumont (Belgium) and Jacques Poirsons (Paris) lives on as
it celebrates its 60th Anniversary.
An organisation that is built on goodwill, dedication and
commitment to the Beauty Therapy profession through
education and dialogue.
An organisation that pays tribute to all Board Members
past and present, schools, tutors through Education, Beauty
Centres, CIDESCO Sections and graduates worldwide. An
organisation that recognised the need for this universal
identity in Beauty Therapy and with forethought helped
weave the tapestr y of this UNIQUE organisation that unites
nations in the same cause.
CIDESCO has influenced national and international education
through leading by example and is today a highly reputed
qualification which is recognized globally and where
CIDESCO Diploma graduates are in great demand.
If one looks behind a CIDESCO Diploma and recognizes
the effort and sheer dedication that it takes to achieve this
qualification, it would open a world of striving for per fection
by voluntar y members of the same profession who are
creating a sound framework of education – its value is then
enhanced.
I attended my first CIDESCO Congress in 1976 – Edith Lauda
was President – I distinctly remember a stage filled with
representatives from all over the world and I was in awe of
what they represented. It is amazing that the same dedication
to CIDESCO is unwavering and it continues to be managed
by voluntar y groups who believe in its value, contributing
time and energy to ensuring CIDESCO maintains its place in
the global arena.
On behalf of the International Board we pay tribute to
our predecessors‚ who paved the way, nationally and
internationally pioneering the most reputable qualification
in the world of Beauty Therapy, CIDESCO.
One of these most remarkable pioneers is Joan Thornycroft
who I have been privileged to have known since the early
1970’s. She is energy, she is vital – she is dedicated and
she has just tur ned 90 maintaining a keen sense of humour
and remarkable foresight. Joan you are an “icon“ and there
are so many reading this CIDESCO LINK who have been
influenced and guided by your unlimited and unselfish
devotion and who are a credit to you. Joan has examined all
over the globe and can tell a stor y or t wo which I continue
to dine out on – the “remember when” syndrome – I love her
stories and I love and admire Joan – congratulations Joan
we SALUTE YOU!
Please join us in ATHENS from 19th – 22nd October this year
to celebrate the 60 years of dedication and commitment to
enhancing the Beauty Therapy Profession giving practitioners
a CIDESCO Diploma they can be proud of!

Happy Birthday
Joan Thornycroft
90 years young in March!
A Tribute from Kenneth Morris, Honorar y
Member, CIDESCO.
March 3rd 1916 was the date on which Georgio Bassani,
Italian w riter and Hans Eysenck, psychologist were bor n.
Never heard of either them you may say?
March 3rd 1916 was also the day on which Joan Thornycroft
(not her maiden name) was also born and the chances
are that hundreds if not thousands of you reading this
edition of the Link will know who she is!
This year, Joan will be celebrating her 90 th birthday and
I join in the many who will be offering her our heartiest
congratulations.
Joan must be one of the most remarkable people in
the Beauty Industr y, not just in the UK, but across the
globe. Joan is well known and respected for her teaching,
examining, guiding and experience. I have had the
privilege of knowing her for 30 years; we have worked
together on BABTAC Council, the board of CIDESCO, and
the CIDESCO Education Committee.
Joan Thor nycroft has given of herself unstintedly to raise
and maintain the standards of beauty therapists around
the world and there are many who are grateful for having
known her.
The most remarkable thing about Joan Thornycroft is
that she must surely be the longest serving person in
the histor y of the beauty industr y for I know of no- one
else whose services have been called upon when she
is in her 90 th year! Whenever her name is mentioned,
there is only the greatest admiration for her and the word
“retirement” is unknown in her vocabular y.
I wish Joan the best of health to continue what she enjoys
most and I hope that I shall be invited to w rite a tribute
to her on her 100 th birthday!
Mrs. Hedy Dettwiler – past Board Mem

A message from Joanna Lack
What an amazing lady... I have known Joan for the
past 40 years – firstly teaching for another well-known
Beauty Therapy School, and then to r unning for many
years her own beautiful school in Royal Tunbridge Wells
in the heart of the Kent countr yside.
Examining and lecturing worldwide with many firsts Japan, China and Malaysia. Always a staunch supporter
of standards, especially regarding education, whether
for a young student starting out in her career or the
mature student retur ning to Beauty Therapy after gap
years. Standards, knowledge and keeping up- to- date
were considered imperative to Joan. There are many
many students the world over who have her to thank
for her guidance and advice to their successful careers
in Beauty Therapy.
Mrs Thor nycroft was Chairman of BABTAC before
becoming a board member of CIDESCO and it was
inevitable that she should become the CIDESCO
member for education. Her period in office saw many
innovations in her time on the Board, Joan held the
fort.
Along with her favourite subject of M L D Joan has
until recently been Chairman and founder member of
the Spa Association.
Joan I salute you!
JOAN THORNYCROFT is forever in my mind linked
with CIDESCO. We first met in 1971 at the 25th
World Congress in Br ussels, Belgium, then regularly
back in London through Joan’s work supplying
therapy equipment and training in the fast-growing
professional beauty world.
Our friendship was really cemented in 1974 when we
were lone British delegates at the Israeli Congress
and continually swapped notes on the lectures and
social programme. It was my knowledge of Joan’s
approach to teaching and abilities at communicating
with students that made me appreciate how well she
would do her job as the CIDESCO Board member in
charge of Education.
I was amazed at the amount of work she undertook
and the dedication she gave to her role. She was
always full of ideas on examination curricula and
raising standards in education.
She’s a good friend whose company I value personally
and professionally.

Celebrating CIDESCO’s 60th Anniversary
Only a few people reading this will know the names
of Georges Dumont and Jacques Poirsons, but they
were the founders 60 years ago of an organisation that
came to be known as CIDESCO. I feel sure that they
could not have envisaged how their dreams would
have been fulfilled.
Much has been achieved during the last 60 years and
there is still much more to do. However, with the
knowledge of what has been achieved in the past and
with the continued dedication of those involved with
the organisation, there is no doubt that CIDESCO will
continue to be looked respected and the students who
graduate in the future with a CIDESCO Diploma will
know that they have a qualification second-to-none.
Kenneth Morris
Honorar y Member
It’s my pleasure to address my warmest congratulations
to the Board of CIDESCO on the occasion of 60 years
of CIDESCO.
CIDESCO was founded on the 27th and 28th December
1946 in Br ussels (Belgium) during a Georges Dumont
and Jacques Poirsons organised Congress, later indicated
as CIDESCO’s first International Congress. So, how can
we celebrate CIDESCO’s 60 th anniversar y better then
at CIDESCO’s ‘Diamond Congress’ on the 19th to 22nd
October in Athens (Greece), only 2 months before the
official date!!
Let’s also in the coming years be careful with our
prestigious precious diamond CIDESCO.

10 Myths About Group
Insurance Policies
Benefits plans represent the 2nd or 3rd highest expense
in r unning your business. Keeping those costs under
control is the job of your group insurance broker. Yet
many companies don’t really know if they are receiving
the best service and support from their broker. They
continue to use the same person for years because there
is a perceived idea that to keep changing my insurance
broker is a hassle.
The tr uth is, if your broker is not paying attention to
your business, it is probably costing your company a
substantial amount of money. Your broker should be a
proactive partner that is communicating with you about
the best options currently available for your company’s
insurance needs. These 10 myths have kept customers tied
to the same broker for years without any benefit to the
client.
Myth #1 You have to wait until renewal time
to change brokers.
Tr uth #1 If you are not satisfied with your broker, you
have the right to replace them at any time. Most carriers
will accept a change of broker letter effective the 1st of
the month following the receipt of the letter.
Myth #2 If you change brokers, you have to
change plans or you need to complete all
new paperwork.
Tr uth #2 The only paper work necessar y to change brokers
is a formal broker of record letter to the current carrier
(we can supply one to you). There are no disr uptions in
service. Plans don’t change and benefits adjustments are
made at your convenience.
Myth #3:Your company has no choice but to
accept the high double digit increase.
Tr uth #3 There are more choices than ever today for
employers. Companies can explore plan designs, funding
methods, contribution schedules and voluntar y options.
Myth #4 You can only receive competitive
rates if you are a large company.
Tr uth #4 There is an advantage to having more employees
because it enables the carriers to spread the risk on a
larger group. However, the rate for all medical plans over
50 employees and ancillar y plans over 10 employees can
be negotiated based on the demographics of the group.
Even groups under 50 employees have options if you know
where to look for them.
7
Myth #5 You can only obtain the best rates
if you have a large broker negotiate on your
behalf.
Tr uth #5 All brokers have access to the same rates and
have to be quoted the same rate on a particular plan
design. Only a change of benefits can effect a change in
the rate.
The question really is :Does your broker look at all the
available alter natives and provide you with a range of
options to select from?
Myth #6 You have to wait until renewal to
change carriers.
Tr uth #6 Many carriers will not allow plan design changes
mid year. However that is negotiable based on your size
and the prospect of them losing the case. In addition, for
fully insured cases, you can change carriers with 30 days
w ritten notice.
Myth #7 Small companies have no choice of
plan designs or benefits options.
Tr uth #7 Carriers today are giving smaller companies many
of the same choices that large market companies receive.
R x card options, gated, un-gated plans, co-payments, coinsurance and a host of ancillar y line options are now
available.
Myth #8 Only very large companies can use
alternative funding methods.
Tr uth #8 ASO and minimum premium plans are available
to companies as small as 50 employees. In addition the
new HDHP (High Deductible Health Plans) offer an option
worth exploring to cut costs on a fully insured basis.
Myth #9 You should only hear from your
broker at renewal time or if there is a
problem.
Tr uth #9 Your broker is responsible for a ver y large expense
item. Your broker should be in regular contact with you
to offer service support as well as his advice on new plan
options that carriers make available.
Myth #10 You need multiple brokers for
different types of insurance products.
Tr uth #10 Your group insurance broker should be your
advisor and consultant on your other insurance issues.
Even if they do not actually w rite the policy, since they
know your business needs so well, they are in a great
position to find you the best person for your needs.

Nutrition,
Fitness and the
As the emerging baby boomers enter the latter part of
their lives in this centur y, there is a greater awareness of
preventative health care in the western world. This has
generated regular topics on nutrition, fitness and weight
loss strategies proliferate. Improper dietar y intake affects
not only the health of the skin and body weight but also
affect the mental state
Nutrition, Fitness and the Spa
Spas are becoming a norm in modern society, the latest
spa in the marketplace is called the “Medi-Spa” where
physicians and nurses offer medical, health and cosmetic
services within an environment that is no longer clinical,
but more of a “spa” ambiance where “patients” feel
more pampered instead of being “sick. However, many
individuals visit their esthetician more regularly than the
physician and this suggests that physical appearance is
becoming more important to them than even visiting the
dentist. To prevent or delay the aging of the skin and body,
the holistic approach must be implemented. The primar y
services in the spa are to help develop clear healthy skin,
nails, hair and to promote rela xation. Proper nutrition
enhanced with dietar y supplementation has finally been
established as the underlying principle for a health body
and mind. Nutrition, fitness and stress management
are three main components of antiaging and should be
incor porated in the spa because it fulfills the wellness
ethic.
Lifestyle Management Skills
The destination spa is a resort where people may visit
perhaps once or t wice a year, and at these resorts the
holistic approach is usually offered. Here healthy lifestyle
coaching such as nutrition and fitness are incor porated
with esthetic treatments. The idea is that once the client
retur ns home, she/ he will continue to lead the healthy
lifestyle habits taught at the spa. However, that ideology is
rarely sustained because on arrival at home, most people
eventually revert to their regular lifestyles. Because
many client visit day spas more frequently, it is the ideal
place where this ideology can be taught, maintained or
monitored
The Esthetician and the Wellness Factor
What exactly is “wellness”? It can be described as the
active pursuit of healthy living on a daily basis. It is not
just good physical health but also incor porates mental
health. In the spa, we offer serenity, rela xation and
wellness to beautify, unwind and rejuvenate over worked
systems. While spa treatments are important to develop
clear healthy skin, nails, hair and promote rela xation,
results are only temporar y. As for body treatments,
all the exfoliating, w rapping and moisturizing will not
really detoxify and slim the body. Most of this is simply
marketing and pampering but we can do much more for
CIDESCO Link - March/April 2006
In the industry
our clients! We can help extend the results of beauty
treatments on a more permanent basis by offering
lifestyle coaching, guiding and motivating our clients
to lead a healthier lifestyle, particularly in the realm of
nutrition, exercise and stress management. If we really
want to make a difference in our client’s lives, we can
do so because estheticians and their clients have special
rapport built over time from regular visits. This industr y
is poised to do a lot more than simple pampering with
more education and skills, we can lear n and help to move
our profession in another direction where we can make a
real difference in society. But we must want to do this as
a whole industr y
The therapist should analyze the client’s skin and assess
the basic nutritional needs for that skin condition. In body
treatments, instead of just exfoliating and moisturizing
the body, the therapist can guide and motivate the client
to lose weight, gain strength, have more energy and lead a
healthier lifestyle. Most people do not go to a nutritionist
or dietician for advice. What they need is simple guidance
to choosing and eating the correct foods and motivation
to exercise regularly. Clients need this encouragement
continuously because most of them are not committed
to carr y out the actions outside their treatments for a
healthier lifestyle and this often leave them overeating
and stressed out. Most people obtain information about
nutrition and fitness from articles, books and the Internet
but the spa can provide these resources to the clients
since they are already coming there for the health of the
skin, nails, hair and body. People are no longer dependent
on their physicians for managing their health and are
seeking alter native health care practitioners that could
include educated estheticians. The following information
will hopefully help the therapist lear n how to implement
nutrition and exercise into face and body treatments.
Lifestyle Questionnaire
The Daily Food Guide developed by scientists is designed
to ensure that one can obtain adequate nutrient needs by
eating sufficient servings in each food group on a daily
basis. In the U.S.A. and other parts of the world, a FiveGroup Plan is used while in Canada a Four-Group Plan is
the norm. Train yourself and your clients to always think
of how many serving sizes they are eating and eventually
this habit will become inter nalized over time and this

In the industry
will hopefully help to control healthier daily
dietar y intake as you become more aware of the
quantity and quality of the foods bought and
eaten. The following serving sizes for the different
food groups are given: Practice remembering
them daily until they become internalized.
A Five-Group Plan (U.S.A and other
countries)
Milk Group (milk, cheese, yogurt): 2-3 servings
are recommended (milk, cheese, yogurt): each
may be: 1 cup of milk/yogurt, 2 oz. Processed
cheese’ 1 ½ cheese.
Meat and meat alternatives (chicken, fish,
beans): 2-3 servings: each may be: 2-3 oz lean
cooked meat; 1 egg; ½ cup legumes, 2tbs.
Peanut butter
Grains (6-11 servings): each may be: 1 slice
bread: ½ cup cooked cereals, rice, pasta; 1
oz commercial cereals; ½ bun/ bagel; 2 large
crackers
Fr uit (includes juices): 2- 4 servings, each may
be: 1 medium size fr uit, ½ grapefr uit, ¾ juice;
½ chopped/canned fr uit; ¼ dried fr uit.
Vegetables: 3-5 servings, each: ½ cup cooked/
raw vegetables; ¾ vegetable juice; 1 cup leafy
raw vegetables ½ cooked legumes.
foods but do not recommend abstaining from them completely.
Common Skin Conditions and Lifestyle

The following is a recommendation for dr y w rinkled skin conditions
commonly encountered in spas, nutritional guidance and some
recommended lifestyle modifications that will lead to remarkable
difference in the long term results of your facial treatments:.
Skin conditions:
Lifestyle Coaching:
A helpful strategy to determine the basic
nutritional needs of your clients, have them fill
out a simple questionnaire with yes/no answers,
just like dentists and other health practitioners
do during the consultation. Ask questions such
as “Do you eat fr uits and vegetables, and if you
do, how many servings?”, “Do you drink milk
or dair y products daily?”, “Do you eat brightly
colored fr uits/veggies”? “Do you smoke?”, “Do
you suffer from high stress regularly?” etc.
Analysis of Daily Food Guide Plan
By simply calculating if the client’s daily food
intake is balanced with the recommended Daily
Food Guide, one can determine several factors in
improper dietar y intake. For example, insufficient
servings in grains may indicate deficiency in fiber
and Vitamin B complex (significant in these type
of foods) while insufficient meat products may
suggest iron deficiency. Conversely, excessive
meat consumption means a high protein, high
fat (saturated fat) diet; inadequate milk servings
shows low calcium intake and of course,
insufficient water intake will indicate dehydration.
Insufficient water intake can also be revealed
by a bright color and pungent odor of urine.
Insufficient fr uit and vegetable intake indicate
low fiber, vitamins and minerals, important
criteria for a healthy clear complexion because
brightly colored ones contain antioxidants
and phytochemicals, substances found to have
preventative measures against many diseases.
For weight management treatments, it is also
vital to check for the quality of each serving, that
is, whether the meat or milk is high, medium
or low fat content. For your ethnic clients, make
suggestions for healthier versions of their favorite

Body Treatments for slimming or toning
Lifestyle management skills for body care are much
tougher to carr y out because it is difficult to see
immediate results. Surely, one cannot achieve “wellness”
when one is over weight or under weight. Our work can be
so more realistic and meaningful if we can help guide our
clients to achieve a healthy body weight. The BMI (Body
Mass Index) is a measurement that is used by most health
professionals to determine a healthy body weight and be
worked by this formula:
BMI = Weight (kg) divided by Height (m)2
or
Weight (lbs) divided by Height (inches) x 705
A BMI of less than 20 indicate unhealthy bodyweight
with iron deficiency and possibility of eating disorders. A
BMI of 20 to 25 is low risk while a BMI of more than 27
is indicative of increased risk of coronar y heart diseases,
hypertension and diabetes. Other variables such as poor
lifestyle habits (smoking, drinking) increase health risks
independently of BMI.
eating several small meals throughout the day instead of
three meals and drink more water for digestion, absor ption
and elimination. The endomor ph should concentrate on
aerobic fitness combined with strength training.
Tr ue antiaging therapy includes guiding the client to a
healthier lifestyle patterns by implementing both nutrition
and exercise guidelines within the body treatments they
are already per forming. Proper nutrition is ver y important
to help reduce cellulite conditions that are mainly caused
by improper choice of foods and poor elimination of toxins
from the body. Recommend drinking more water and
fiber-rich foods for more effective digestion, absor ption
and elimination. Nutritional guidance can be built into
a series of body treatments and started at the onset of
the program. A nutritional and wellness component can
be introduced in the spa with a small investment in a
fr uit blender for fresh fr uit drinks.O ffer green tea with its
high flavonoid qualities during treatments to enhance the
wellness program.
Spa Ambiance
Regular exercise gives you high energy, feel lighter on
your feet and you feel more youthful. It is one of the main
pillars of antiaging, the main benefits being to improve
lymphatic flow, cellular metabolism, energy levels, bur n
calories, reduce stress and gives a sense of wellness.
The environment and décor should reflect the healthy
function of the spa. The therapists should have clear
healthy skin with a trim, toned body, moving effortlessly
to indicate youthful energy thus serving as a motivating
factor to clients. Marketing of dietar y supplements in the
spas can significantly increase income in the spas. The
staff should be educated about any dietar y supplements
carried in the spa which should be attractively displayed
with sufficient literature to educate the clients of their
benefits just like the health food stores. The health spa
can provide these nutritional pamphlets to clients who
are already coming there for their skin and body health.
Nutrition is a 40-billion dollar market and the opportunity
exists for the spas to help redirect some of their clients’
spending towards them instead since they are already
buying supplements without any professional guidance.
Mind and Body Fitness
Conclusion
Both yoga and Pilates have been found to be ver y effective
in maintaining muscle tone, improve flexibility and
simultaneously improve mental health. The deep breathing
techniques of yoga teaches the client how to manage high
stress thus improving mental wellness. Pilates helps to
strengthen the core muscles thus improving posture
and flexibility. Several day spas have already began to
incor porate Pilates and yoga into their programs as part
of their “spa menus” and yoga emphasize deep breathing
techniques and are definite assets to both improving body
shape and mental well-being. Yoga and Pilates exercises
can be incor porated into massage treatments to teach the
client how to manage stress, improve posture and increase
flexibility. This is a tr ue antiaging treatment.
The “fluff” is good but we can do much more. Nutrition,
exercise and stress management are essential components
in promoting wellness in the spa. Skin and body therapists
can become more credible if they tried to lead a healthier
lifestyle. If you want to take this profession in another
direction – as a health care profession, don’t wait, do so
now!
Fitness and weight loss program
Offering weight loss and cellulite programs can bring in
a completely new group of clientele in your spa. If you
are already per forming body treatments such as body
w raps or electrical equipment, you can incor porate body
treatments for weight reduction, toning and cellulite into
your treatment plan..
