KIARAA-Aesthetic Clinic Trivandrum

Facials

      Facials are meant to cleanse and deeply moisturize the sensitive skin of the face. Through your cosmetology program, you likely learned how to prepare and apply a number of different types of facials and how to customize them to your client. For example, a client suffering from acne might be interested in an acne clearing facial specially formulated to cleanse their skin from blemishes. Other clients might be interested in receiving an anti-aging facial—one that is specifically formulated to help their skin look younger and wrinkle-free.

Acne Clearing Facials

      Acne-specific facials often need to be applied in several applications, such as three-five visits. While your client may want to see results after just one application, you’ll need to remind them that any acne treatment, including over-the-counter creams and face washes, are meant to cleanse the skin over a period of time, not just one treatment. Facials target blackheads and whiteheads, and you’ll use a small extraction tool to remove blackheads around the face area. After extracting the blackheads, you’ll apply a face cream to the area and let it sit on the skin. You’ll be able to customize the formula around your client’s skin, depending on whether it is dry, oily, or sensitive. You’ll usually use a clarifying enzyme, which will open clogged pores and allow the skin to clear up.

Anti-Aging Facials

      Other clients might seek facial treatments to fight off aging skin and wrinkles. In this case, you might offer them an oxygenated or collagen treatment. An oxygen treatment is a stream of high-pressured oxygen which is mixed with essential oils and vitamins to brighten and lift the skin. A collagen facial saturates the skin with collagen, the most abundant protein in our bodies, which is responsible for clear, youthful-looking skin.
