Study Notes

Facial Treatments Overview

Milk does not aggravate rosacea, while foods like wine, beer, and heavily spiced foods may cause flare-ups.
Daily sunscreen use and protective clothing can help prevent hyperpigmentation, alongside avoiding excessive sun exposure.
Pain during extractions indicates that the extraction method may be too harsh, not necessarily that the client has a low pain threshold.

Environmental Factors and Acne

Clients with acne should avoid environmental irritants such as dirt, grease, and humidity, but not water.
A clay mask is recommended for acne-prone clients to use twice a week as part of their home care routine.

Extraction Techniques

Finger cots are individual gloves specifically designed for performing extractions.
Understanding the angles of different skin follicles aids in performing extractions more effectively.
A healing mask should be applied after all extractions to promote recovery.

Effects of Warmth and Towel Application

Warmth softens follicles, enhances cleansing, and prepares skin for extractions; it does not decrease circulation.
Keeping hot towels on the skin does not cause over-moisturization, but can lead to overstimulation or irritation if left too long.

Treatment Protocols

Extractions involve manually removing impurities and comedones from skin follicles.
Treatment masks hydrate, rejuvenate, and draw out impurities but do not loosen the skin.
A calming, hydrating mask is to be applied only at the end of a facial treatment.

Client Care and Appointment Management

Offering water to clients post-service facilitates rehydration.
It is essential to book the client's next appointment at the end of the service.
Moderation in product application prevents counterproductive effects; too much product can negate benefits.

Client Interaction and Comfort

Calm, quiet interactions with clients promote relaxation.
The esthetician is responsible for instructing clients on comfort adjustments during the treatment.

Draping and Treatment Duration

Draping should occur at the beginning of the treatment process.
A full basic facial generally lasts 60 minutes, while a mini-facial is approximately 30 minutes.

Skin Condition Treatments

Dry skin treatments aim to stimulate sebum production and should use gentle enzyme peels.
Harsh exfoliation is not advisable for either dry or sensitive skin.

Health Conditions and Skin Treatments

Conditions like accelerated skin aging can result from extreme climate exposure, weight loss, or physiological diseases.
Facial treatments improve overall skin health and are considered essential services provided by estheticians.

Professional Development and Treatment Guidelines

Attending esthetics classes or conferences annually enhances career potential.
Gentle cleansers are safe for sensitive skin, while harsh methods should be avoided.

Folliculitis refers to the inflammation of hair follicles.
Pseudofolliculitis, commonly known as razor bumps, is primarily caused by improper shaving techniques.

Specific Skin Type Treatments

Oily skin benefits from light, water-based products, while comedogenic substances should be avoided to prevent acne aggravation.

Proper Technique and Client Safety

It is the client’s responsibility to rinse contaminated eyes; estheticians must ensure that their practices do not include any injury risk from jewelry or other distractions during service.
