Consultations
Skin consultations are performed in to understand and determine your skin type, skin concerns and skin goals in order develop a personalised skin treatment plan for you. During this process a skin analysis will be completed, which can be broken down into these next steps:
Determining Skin Type
The first step is identifying the your skin type: normal, oily, dry, combination, or sensitive. Each skin type has different needs, so this helps in choosing suitable treatments and products.
Analysing Hydration and Oil Levels
Assessing how hydrated the skin is and measuring sebum (oil) production can help determine the appropriate balance of moisturising and oil-controlling products.
Examining Pore Size and Condition
Larger pores may indicate excess oil production, while clogged pores can lead to blackheads and breakouts. Analysing pore condition can help tailor exfoliation and cleansing routines.
Evaluating Skin Conditions and Concerns
The aesthetician or skincare professional examines visible skin issues, which can include:
​
-
Acne: Presence of blemishes, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts.
-
Pigmentation: Dark spots, melasma, or uneven skin tone.
-
Rosacea or Redness: Signs of sensitivity or inflammation.
-
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Indicators of aging and skin elasticity.
-
Texture: Uneven texture, rough patches, or smoothness.
-
Dehydration: Lack of moisture in the skin, often presenting as dullness or tightness.​
Assessing Skin Tone and Elasticity
-
Skin elasticity (how firm the skin feels) is a sign of collagen levels, which are crucial for youthful skin.
-
Uneven skin tone or dullness can also indicate issues like sun damage or poor circulation.
Establishing a Baseline for Progress
The analysis establishes a baseline so the skincare professional and client can track improvements over time. ​
