Facials

Introduction and Consultation

Layla is a 25-year-old single female who works as a receptionist in a local gym. She exercises well and has a healthy diet but her skin is dry and dehydrated largely due to her spending long hours in an air-conditioned environment. In addition to the facial treatment plan outlined here, I advised Layla to supplement her diet with Omega fatty acids. She has no known medical issues.

Treatment Plan

Layla's treatment plan will include a spa-like European facial using a rich cream cleanser, followed by an alcohol-free toner, and a light non-abrasive exfoliation cream. The three-step cleansing process prepares Layla's skin for the rest of the facial. Next we will steam Layla's skin to open the pores gently, massage her head and neck to help keep her relaxed during the 50-minute procedure, gently extract any blockages like blackheads, and then apply a rich, moisturizing mask containing vitamins. The mask also contains olive oil and vitamin sC and E.

Keeping the steamer on while the mask sits will help the vitamins and the olive oil from the product seep deep into Layla's dehydrated skin. After ten minutes the mask will be wiped off, and a light finishing moisturizer will be applied after which we will guide Layla toward the best everyday products for her skin type. In addition to the cleanser, toner, and moisturizer used during the facial, Layla is urged to purchase a sun block cream to protect her skin from further dryness.

Conclusion

Before treatment, Layla's skin showed signs of visible dryness such as light flaking on the cheeks and some corresponding redness. Layla said that the facial relaxed her and also noticed the difference in the appearance of her skin immediately. Her skin glowed and took on a whole new hue after the facial.

Client 2: Introduction and Consultation

Josey has had sensitive skin most of her life. At 45, she is looking to keep her skin looking young while avoiding flare-ups and other complications associated with many commercial products. Like her skin, Josey's digestive and immune systems are also delicate. She has several allergies and avoids certain foods like dairy and wheat. As a lawyer, Josey works hard but lives a healthy lifestyle.

Treatment Plan

Josey's treatment plan will consist of a mini-facial. Josey had received a facial just over one month ago and therefore does not require any in-depth treatment. First we use a gentle cleanser and alcohol-free toner both designed exclusively for reactive skin. A mild exfoliating cream will help prepare Josey's skin for the steamer, during which some extraction will remove blocked pores. We will apply a freshly made mask using egg yolk and honey to avoid exposing Josey's sensitive skin to potentially harmful chemicals or allergens. The mask will be removed, and once again we will use a mild cleanser followed by a light moisturizer. It is especially important to take notes on what products Josey uses so that we can discover which irritate her skin and which help her achieve flawless beauty.

Conclusion

With regular facials, Josey's sensitive skin can become more manageable. Already after two facial treatments and one mini-facial Josey's skin seems less red and reactive. Part of the reason for her sensitive skin is dietary allergens, and keeping on top of her diet will be an important part of her overall beauty regimen.

Client 3: Introduction and Consultation

Trish is a 35-year-old mother of three who recently began suffering from acne. With problem-free skin throughout her teens and 20s, Trish has been especially anxious about her problem and wants to develop a face care regiment that prevents and treats her blemishes. I also advised Trish to watch her diet, drink a lot of water, and to take a multivitamin. Additionally, I asked Trish to find out whether her problem might be related to hormonal imbalances because some birth control pills help women deal with adult acne.

Treatment Plan

Trish's facial is a full facial but after examining her skin I noticed some of her acne is cystic. Therefore, we will treat Trish as if she also has highly sensitive skin, which she might. Trish first receives an oil-free cleanser followed by a toner. Both products are tailored for oily skin, and after using them we also use a gentle exfoliator. Next, we use steam to open Trish's pores and spend some time on the extraction process. Any of Trish's whiteheads are extracted. The steam will bring to the surface any pus in the cystic acne but any of the pimples that have not yet come to head will not be extracted. After extraction, we will massage Trish's neck and shoulders to release tension and anxiety that might be contributing to her acne. Finally, a mask containing clay that is designed for tightening pores and alleviating problems associated with oily skin is applied, wiped off, and then an oil-free moisturizer helps close her pores and smooth Trish's skin.

Conclusion

Trish's skin has the potential to be robust and healthy. With daily application of skin care products designed specifically for seborrhea, Trish should notice a dramatic change in the number and frequency of outbreaks. The massage and overall facial helped relax Trish too and her glowing skin made her feel much more confident about herself than when she first came in to the spa.
