Product Description

Product Description

Designed to inspire and to motivate, Facials and Skincare in Essence provides a beautifully illustrated, comprehensive guide to this popular area of study.

Developed to take the reader beyond the basics, it provides detailed information on the structure of the skin, common skin diseases and disorders, skin types and conditions, and how to analyse skin accurately. It also includes treatment planning advice for specific skin types, facial product knowledge, a detailed step-by-step routine of all elements of a deep cleansing facial, as well as information on the different types of facial treatments available.

It enthuses the reader by including an introduction to other specialised facial treatments and the latest non-surgical methods of advanced skin care and rejuvenation commercially in demand, such as Botox® and dermal fillers.

Written in an accessible style with numerous FAQs and case studies, Facials and Skincare in Essence is the perfect companion for students on short courses, professional therapists topping up their skills, NVQ Level 2 and 3 Beauty Therapy students, and anyone interested in beauty therapy or cosmetology.

Format:Paperback
A beautifully written book; fully up to date with all the latest beauty therapy facial specialist techniques. This is a book that is perfect for any Beauty Therapist who wishes to specialise in facial techniques. As a lecturer and former salon owner I can testify that facials are one of the most popular treatments a salon can offer. I recommend this book for its practical application of this subject; along with the `case studies' and `question and answers' that are so popular with students.

I finally understand skin care 5 July 2011
By Sidney - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While it is written for the professional, one does not need to be a professional to benefit from this book. It breaks down everything you need to know about how to take care of the largest organ we own, and how to understand how all that stuff we slather on it works.
