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 and Related Conditions
- 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.
