Facials and Skincare

Facials are a vital well being treatment in today’s fast paced and sometimes polluted atmosphere. We often work in centrally heated or air conditioned environments, find it hard to eat a balanced diet or suffer hormonal imbalance, all of which can cause havoc with the delicate balance of our skin.

 This is where facials come in, by learning about skin structure, function and need we can successfully prescribe products and facials to deal with many skin issues.

 This is a very fast paced part of the industry and it is imperative that we are up to date with facial skills to aid our clients and indeed find huge rewards ourselves for competently relaxing and helping our clients to discover "good skin".
