Protection. Education. Connection. There's an app for that at ascpskincare.com/app 69 THE BASIC CLEANSING METHOD Lightly wet the skin with a water spray or by pressing warmed wet sponges in a patting motion across the face before beginning the cleanse. With gloved hands, warm the cleanser with your fi ngertips before beginning the application to the face. Massage the cleanser across the skin with elegant, circular movements. Your cleansing massage should not include specialized movements or patterns that you use in your treatment massage later in the facial treatment. Remove the cleanser with warm damp sponges or damp disposable cotton pads. Many schools teach you to do a second cleanse; you may choose to perform a second cleanse with a surfactant cleanser (for oilier skin) or a granular exfoliating cleanser (for rough-textured or congested skin). After the cleansing is complete, proceed with the skin analysis. Please note that toning the skin should be postponed until later in the treatment. Toning the skin before analysis can obscure the analysis by making pores look smaller, and if extraction needs to be performed, toning should be delayed until after extraction is fi nished. Professional, eff ective cleansing of the skin should be a graceful procedure. The movements should be rhythmic, symmetrical, and well- rehearsed. The cleansing procedure is the client's fi rst impression of your skills. Impress them with your touch and let them feel the confi dence in your hands. Your client should feel like the cleansing is not a procedure they could replicate at home and that your hands have the experience of performing this ritual hundreds of times. HOME CARE FACIAL CLEANSING It is a very important role of the esthetician to advise the client in proper cleansing procedures appropriate for their skin type and conditions. The wrong cleanser can ruin a good skin care program! Properly chosen cleansers help set the stage for the client's treatment products to work. Help your client choose the specifi c cleanser that is best for their skin type, skin conditions, and lifestyle. If the client regularly wears makeup, an emulsion cleanser for eff ective makeup removal should be selected for nightly use. In the mornings, the client may choose to use a convenient shower cleanser that usually contains a surfactant. Shower cleansers are quick and easy to use, rinse easily, and are ideal for when the client is not wearing makeup. Clients who do not wear makeup can use the same cleanser twice a day. Proper cleansing of the skin by the client is not only part of basic personal hygiene, but also the beginning preparation for other products used to protect and treat the skin. STOCKSY
