Step 4.
Apply a water-based moisturizer
to the skin and allow your
client to relax under LED lights
for up to 30 minutes. This will
help reduce inflammation and
kill bacteria and will promote
collagen synthesis to improve fine
lines and wrinkles. This is also
a wonderful time to introduce
some stress-relieving bodywork.
Step 5.
Give your client the best facial
massage they have ever had.
It feels great (and offers a little
more stress relief) and improves
circulation. Be sure to use a facial
oil that is noncomedogenic.
Step 6.
Use a toner to prepare the
skin for products and balance
the pH of the skin, then apply
appropriate finishing products.
FINISH STRONG
At the end of your treatment, give your client
product recommendations for home care and
educate your client on how to apply each product
and when. Your client should return weekly for
extractions, and they should receive a facial
every 4–6 weeks for optimal results.
