Relevance/Importance
How will the “Recognition and Treatment of Minor Skin Irregularities” CD-Rom and reference guide be useful to me?
- Serves as an invaluable support reference, aiding therapists to recognize many common skin conditions that they see on a daily basis (many therapists keep the supporting textbook readily accessible in their treatment room)
- With the public’s demand for more sophisticated, results-oriented services growing, skin care practitioners need to continually add to their knowledge and skill base
- By increasing their ability to identify and classify many common skin conditions, therapists can more effectively and safely offer their clients more results-oriented services while generating greater recurring value for their business operations (as therapists should only treat individual skin conditions that they can identify and know to be treatable)

- The esthetic and medical fields, working more closely together than ever before, have therefore begun to undertake a more holistic approach towards skin care as a whole
- In order to effectively assess and address clients’ skin care needs, nutritional guidance is thus fast becoming a new and essential responsibility for the modern skin care therapist

Relevance/Importance
How can different facial massage techniques actually support or hinder desired treatment results?
- As stimulation needs and sensitivity levels of clients’ skin can vary significantly by skin type, massage movements can effectively support or hinder desired treatment results
- To support treatment results for loose and sagging skin, for example, massage movements that serve to stimulate nerve endings and tighten muscles are recommended
- However, when alternatively dealing with a skin type such as oily skin, movements that can risk over-stimulating sebaceous activity should be avoided
Why should different facial massage techniques be utilized for different skin conditions?
- Different skin types are characterized by differing levels of vascular and sebaceous activity
- Thus, the stimulation needs and sensitivity levels of a client’s skin, in terms of facial massage, can vary significantly according to skin type
- The choice of massage movements to be performed during a skin treatment should, therefore, be dependent on the client’s skin type
