A facial is the treatment most people book first, and the one that decides whether they book anything else. This half day covers the structure of a proper facial and, more importantly, how to read the skin in front of you and change what you do because of it.
What the session covers
- 01Skin anatomy and skin typesWhat you are looking at, how to tell dehydrated from dry, and what a skin actually needs rather than what it was sold.
- 02Cleansing, toning and exfoliationThe order, the products, and how much is enough.
- 03Steam, massage and masksMassage that feels like a treatment rather than a rub, and choosing a mask for the skin rather than the menu.
- 04Product knowledge and aftercareActives, what not to combine, and the home routine that keeps the result going.
- 05Consultation and hygieneConsent, contraindications, record keeping and clinic standards.
