Skin Analysis
When carrying out a skin analysis you should consider the following 3 points:
Look Touch Question
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Look
Use the magnifying light to look for characteristics and conditions to guide you in making a decision as to the client’s skin type. You would also look for areas that are showing signs of ageing.

Touch
Using you fingers touch the client’s skin to feel the texture of the skin, muscle tone, elasticity, skin tone, amount of subcutaneous tissue and sebaceous secretions.

Questioning
Determine their skin care routine, the type of products they are using and for what skin type and finally if they have any problems with their skin. It is important that you get the client’s point of view!
Questions to ask: Have you had a facial before? How long has it been since your last facial? How was your skin after your last facial? Have you noticed any problems with your skin? Have you noticed any areas of dryness/oiliness? What is the main reason for you having a facial today?

Remember
It is vital that you assess the skin correctly, otherwise incorrect products and pressure could be applied resulting in an ineffective treatment. It is also important that you find out the clients requirements from the treatment i.e. just because the client has blackheads do not automatically presume that they want them extracting.

Note
The products/frequency that the client is using them can affect the current skin condition. It is important that you gain information on the client’s skin care routine and the products used. Do not presume that if the client is cleansing, toning and moisturising that the skin care routine is perfect as they may be using the wrong products or applying them incorrectly.
