Study Notes
Importance of Facial Treatments
- Understanding facial treatments is essential as it's a foundational skill for all skin care services.
- Estheticians educate clients on skin biology and factors affecting skin health, facilitating a partnership.
Definition and Components of a Facial
- A facial is a professional service aimed at enhancing the appearance of facial skin.
- Key components include deep cleansing, extractions, hydration, massage, mask application, and product application like serums and moisturizers.
Customization and Client Interaction
- Facials should be tailored to individual clients with appropriate product selection and treatment protocol.
- Estheticians must engage genuinely, focusing on client needs and listening to concerns.
Safety and Comfort
- Disposable gloves should be worn for client comfort and safety.
- Clients should arrive 15 minutes early to fill out consultation forms and prepare.
Time Management for Facial Treatments
- A full facial typically takes 60 minutes, while an express facial lasts 30 minutes.
- First-time clients require an additional 15 minutes for consultation and skin analysis.
Skin Care Analysis and Product Use
- Cleansers vary by skin type: cream-based for dry skin, mousse for combination skin, and gel or liquid for oily skin.
- Extractions require that clients arrive without contacts, and all makeup must be removed for a full facial.
Exfoliation Techniques
- Mechanical exfoliation includes rotary brushes or microdermabrasion; chemical exfoliation involves AHAs and BHAs.
- Chemical exfoliants reduce wrinkles and discoloration, necessitating post-treatment sun protection.
Steam Treatment and Extractions
- Steaming should last no more than 10 minutes, placed about 18 inches from the client's face, while also ensuring client comfort.
- Extractions involve softening the outer skin layer prior and using astringents post-extraction to minimize infection risk.
Client Education and Aftercare
- Educate clients on product benefits and home care routines post-treatment.
- Offer written instructions on product use for client reference.
Aging Skin Considerations
- Aging begins at birth, influenced by genetics and environmental factors, notably UV exposure.
- Mature skin requires antioxidants, and there are no miracle treatments, just preventive care.
Men's Skin Needs
- Male clients often complain about razor bumps. Their skin can be oily yet have surface dryness.
- Use stress-reducing buzzwords to engage male clients and suggest appropriate skin treatments.
Procedure for Extractions
- Gentle pressure should be applied with a fingertip method, starting at the chin and using a lancet skillfully for difficult comedones.
- Proper cleansing product application involves evenly distributing a teaspoon of product using gloved hands.
Preparation and Cautions
- Ensure jewelry is secured before treatment and avoid pressure on the Adam’s apple area during product removal.
- When using a steamer, ensure it's positioned correctly to avoid overheating.
Final Treatment Steps
- Every facial concludes with restoring skin moisture to reinforce its barrier.
- Upon client checkout, present products for purchase and explain their use with written instructions.
