Adapt massage techniques to each client’s skin type, age, and beard considerations, using appropriate pressure, soothing or stimulating movements, and advising shaving before appointments and suitable products.
Explore common skin conditions seen in facials, including open pores, blackheads, milia, hyperpigmentation, and acne, and learn how exfoliation and gentle extractions address these issues during a consultation.
