Basic Facial Course

Use a mag lamp to magnify the skin and analyze texture, tone, and integrity to guide facial treatment and note contraindications, lifestyle factors, prior treatments, and the client record card.

Learn the cleansing protocol for a thorough facial cleanse using circular friction to lift dirt, oils, and impurities. Apply upward strokes around the cheeks, nose, forehead, eyes, and neck.

Exfoliation smooths the skin surface, prepares for treatment, and boosts blood and lymphatic flow. Learn mechanical, chemical, and enzyme methods—from scrubs to papaya and pineapple enzymes, with safety guidelines.

Exfoliate with a granular scrub and steam, adjust for oily skin, then massage a pea-sized product upward from chin to forehead on a damp face, finishing with a hot towel.

Learn classic facial massage techniques, including effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration, applied to the face, neck, and scalp to relax clients and boost circulation.

Master a facial massage protocol using quarter-size product, grounding breath, and hands hover with essential oil, then apply effleurage, petrissage, and orbicularis oculi, masseter, and frontalis techniques.

Discover how masks soften and moisturize the skin, tighten tone, and draw out impurities, with clay, gel, peel-off, and cream varieties applied at the end of a facial.

Apply a medium-thickness mask from neck to forehead with upward strokes to soften moisturised tone and tighten the skin, then remove with warm towels after up to 10 minutes.

Apply toners to remove residue after cleansing or mask removal, dissolve surface oil, and refine pores, preparing skin for moisturizer with herbal infusions like witch hazel and rose water.

Moisturizers add moisture, seal the barrier, and prevent oil overproduction; water-based emulsions absorb quickly without residue. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against UVA/UVB, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation.

Analyze the client's skin with a magnifying lamp to assess pores, sebum, and texture; classify skin types, then cleanse, exfoliate, massage, mask, tone, moisturize, and apply sunblock.

Recap the basic facial steps and benefits, learn how to prepare for the service, and watch video demonstrations to perform the facial with confidence.
