Skin Types
• Pores are very large in all areas. • Acne is considered a skin type because it is
hereditary. • Presence of numerous, open and closed
comedones, clogged pores, and red papules and pustules (pimples).
Acne
Analysis of Skin Conditions
• Dehydration
• Hyperpigmentation
• Sensitive skin– Rosacea– Dilated capillaries (telangiectasias, couperose)
Aging and Sun-Damaged Skin
• Aging skin – indicated by loss of elasticity. Wrinkles may appear.
• Sun-damaged skin – hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and sagging skin will be present.
Categorize Skin Care Products
• Cleansers– Cleansing milk– Foaming cleansers
• Toners (fresheners or astringents)– Lower pH– Remove excess cleanser– Hydrate and soothe
Exfoliants
• Mechanical exfoliants– Granular scrubs– Gommages– Microdermabrasion scrubs
• Chemical exfoliants– Salon AHA exfoliants– Prior home use required
When to Avoid Mechanical Peeling
• Skin with visible capillaries
• Thin skin that reddens easily
• Older skin that is thin and bruises easily
• Skin being medically treated
• Acne-prone skin with inflamed papules and pustules
Enzyme Peels
• Use keratolytic enzymes that dissolve keratin protein in surface cells
• Derived from papaya, pineapple, and beef by-products.
• Cream type
• Powder type
Moisturizers and Sunscreens
• Moisturizers– Dry skin– Oily skin
• Sunscreens and day protection products– Serums and ampoules– Massage creams

How Electrotherapy and Light Therapy Treat the Skin
• Types of electrotherapy
– Galvanic
– High-frequency
• Not to be used on clients with metal implants, pacemakers, heart disease, epilepsy, pregnancy, high blood pressure, fever, infection, insufficient nerve sensibility, open or broken skin, and fear of the procedure
Electrode
• An applicator for directing the electric current from the machine to the client’s skin.
• Galvanic machines– Anode: positive– Cathode: negative
Galvanic Current
• Desincrustation – softens and emulsifies hardened sebum stuck in hair follicles
• Iontophoresis – penetrates water-soluble products that contain ions into the skin
Microcurrent
• A type of galvanic treatment that uses a very low level of electrical current.
• It has many applications in skin care.• Best known for helping to tone the skin,
producing a lifting effect for aging skin that lacks elasticity.
High Frequency Current
• An electrode is an applicator for directing electric current from machine to client’s skin.
– Direct application: Applied directly to skin.
– Indirect application: Client holds electrode.
• Used to stimulate blood flow and help penetrate products.
• Can be used for acne-prone skin because of its germicidal effect.
Light Therapy
• Infrared lamps – used to heat skin and increase blood flow
• Light-emitting diode (LED) – used to heal, minimize redness, warm lower level tissues, stimulate blood flow, help acne-prone skin
Microdermabrasion
• A type of mechanical exfoliation that involves shooting aluminum oxide or other crystals at the skin with a hand-held device that exfoliates dead cells.
• Produces fast, visible results.
• Treats surface wrinkles and aging skin.
• Requires extensive training.
Use Facials to Treat Basic and Specialty Skin Types
• Preservative – maintain health of facial skin
• Corrective – correct some skin conditions such as dryness, oiliness, comedones, aging lines, and minor conditions of acne
Guidelines for Facial Treatments

Special Problems
• There are a number of special problems that must be considered when you are performing a facial.
• Dry skin – caused by insufficient flow of sebum
• Oily skin – caused by hardened masses of sebum in sebaceous glands
Special Notes for Acne-Prone Skin
• Limited measures for acne: Reducing oiliness; working under medical supervision
Facial Treatments for Men
• More men are having facial treatments than ever before.
• Always moving with the pattern of the beard• Usually these are downward and outward
movements. • Use sponges instead of cotton pads on a man’s
face.• Cotton will get caught in beard hair.
Consultation and Home Care
