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.
LengthHalf day — theory and practical
Class sizeOne to one. Never a group.
ExperienceNone needed. Written for complete beginners.

How booking works
- Step onePay for your placeCourse fees are paid in full at checkout by card. Klarna is for treatments, not training.
- Step twoWe agree your dateThere is no date picker. Training here is one to one, so I contact you after payment and we find a day that works for both of us.
- Step threeYou trainHalf a day at the clinic in Southsea, on a live model, with me beside you.
Before you pay: moving your date afterwards needs at least 14 days’ notice. With less than that your payment cannot be carried over, because the day is held for you alone. The full terms and conditions take two minutes to read.

This is the sensible first course. Facials underpin everything else on the skin menu, and taking this before dermaplaning, microneedling or peels makes all three easier. All four together are Step Into Skin at £799.

- Beauty therapists adding skincare
- Anyone starting a treatment room
- Practitioners planning to add peels or microneedling next
