Foundation Facial Online

Description

Understand the skin you’re working on, not just the steps to treat it. This Foundation Facial course takes you from complete beginner to confident, professional practitioner — covering both the skin science behind every good facial and the full practical technique to deliver one safely, start to finish.

Part One builds your knowledge: skin anatomy and physiology, skin types and classification, what affects skin (hormones, UV, pollution), common skin conditions, and the science behind the products you’ll use. Part Two turns that knowledge into practice — safety and contraindications, consultation and consent, core technique, and a full facial sequence, every step demonstrated on video.

By the end, you’ll understand the skin in front of you, not just the routine you’re following — and have the confidence to deliver a full, professional facial treatment unsupervised.

What you’ll learn:
Skin anatomy and physiology — the three layers of skin, collagen, elastin and cell turnover
Skin types and classification, including the Fitzpatrick and Baumann systems
What affects skin — hormones, UV radiation, pollution and climate
Common skin conditions: rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, pigmentation, scarring, and when to refer
Skincare products and active ingredients — what goes on the skin, and why
Awareness of advanced treatments (lasers, peels, Botox, fillers) so you know when to refer a client on
Health, safety and contraindications — total, medical-consent, and localised
Consultation, consent and legal requirements for client records
Core facial technique: double cleanse, exfoliation, massage movements, masking
A full facial sequence covering cleanse, analyse, exfoliate, massage, mask, tone and finish
Client comfort and protection throughout treatment
Aftercare and home care advice
CPD-aligned knowledge test and instant certificate on completion

Who this course is for:
Perfect for complete beginners starting out in skincare and aesthetics, giving you both the science and the hands-on skill to build a genuine, professional-standard facial treatment into your career or client base.
