Skin Type

After a close consultation, the skin type should be evident and all the products used should be according to the skin type to nurture it correctly. 

Normal skin type is well balanced, not oily nor dry. It's not subject to breakouts or excessive sensitivity. It's less prone to early ageing and less problematic.

Dry Skin

Characterized by a lack of suppleness and prone to irritation, dry skin readily shows signs of premature aging, including wrinkles and fine epidermis. It may have milia and split capillaries. 

⚠️Attention required to diet, digestive system, over exposure to weather, high ph soap, hard water, incorrect skin care, hormonal imbalance.

Oily Skin

A shiny appearance, especially in the T-zone, is a common characteristic of oily skin due to its tendency to overproduce sebum. Oil and debris build-up can lead to enlarged pores, blemishes, and breakouts. Prone to papules, pustules, commedones and congested pores.

⚠️Attention required to hormonal imbalance, poor diet (excessive carbs, fatty), poor ventilation, improper cleansing

Combination skin type can have a more oily T zone and dry otherwise.

Facial Massage Benefits

Effleurage

Stimulates blood & lymphatic circulation, increases cellular activity, relieves tension in muscles, stimulates nerve endings depending on the pressure and movement, warms and soften the skin. Induces relaxation and improves the functions of the skin.

Tapotment

Stimulates the skin through a reflex nervous response, the movements are light and brisk. This has a flushing effect on the skin tissue and underlying muscles. This, in turn, causes a feeling of wakefulness and energy, giving the client an uplifting effect.

Petrissage

Movements where the tissues are lifted away from the underlying structures and compressed as in kneading. The pressure is intermittent and deeper than effleurage. It has a stimulating effects and may be contraindicated on sensitive areas.
