| Dry skin | Appears course, tight , dull, in color and often with visible lines and wrinkles. |
| Dry skin | May also be caused by over- exposure to sun and wind, harsh soaps, poor diet, lack of fluid intake, medication, environmental factors, aging, and genetic disposition. |
| Dry skin Treatment goals | Hydrate the skin with rich masks and creamy cleansers as well as a gentle form of exfoliation to remove the dead, dry skin cells and prevent them from accumulat- ing on the surface. Massage can be very Effectively |
| Treatments for dry skin | • Use serums and creams to balance and protect. • Use a gentle enzyme peel, a gentle AHA peel, or a light microdermabrasion to exfoliate. • For a mask, peptides, hyaluronic acid or emollient, and natural ingredients or a thermal mask can be used. • Us |

| Treatments Goals for Dehydrated Skin | • Restore internal skin hydration and retain inner moisture by preventing TEWL. • Concentrate on hydrating and nourishing treatments that deliver highest amounts of moisture. • Massage with the use of serums |
| Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) | Process that causes dehydration of the epi- dermis; natural tendency of moisture in cells to move from the lower layers to upper layers of the skin via osmosis. When the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is healthy, it inhibits evaporation, but if it is |
| Treatments for Dehy drated Skin | Maintain the natural moisturizing factor and the natural acid mantle. • If the client’s skin seems to be dehydrated from factors that require medical attention (such as diet, lack of fluids, or medication), recommend that the client seek the advice of th |
| Biological Changes in Aging Skin | • Moisture loss creates fine lines and wrinkles. • Reduction of estrogen, collagen, and Elastin • Epidermis thins, and dermal papilla flattens, resulting in a loose, tissue-like texture. • Cell renewal rate slows down, slows healing. • Impaired circul |
| Pollution | Particulate matter activates multiple pathways of inflammation in the skin which can: • Ignite melanocytes, resulting in hyperpigmentation. • Excite enzymes that reabsorb damaged collagen. Chronic inflammation causes enzymes to remove more collagen than |
| Poor Diet | Examples of how bad food choices affect the skin |
| Dairy products | may contain a hormone that causes inflammation; may increase the amount of oil that sebaceous glands secrete, resulting in acne and clogged pores; and make it harder for dead skin cells to clear out, allowing oils to collect and become infl |
| Sugar | increases blood sugar levels, which spurs insulin and IGF-1 production, caus- ing inflammation. High amounts of sugar also react with skin cells, causing dryness, decreased color, and wrinkles |
| Caffeine | causes dehydration. |
| Estheticians | are not nutritionists and should not encourage clients to remove foods from their diet without the consent of the client’s physician |
| Hormones | As we age the body produces lower levels of hormones, and the ability of hormones to com- municate messages decreases |
| Effects of Imbalanced Hormones | Effects of skin aging include excess blood glucose, which can damage or destroy collagen, and excessive free radicals, which can cause damage to cells and hyperpigmentation resulting from changes in estrogen and progesterone. • In men, testosterone decre |
| Stress | The secretion of stress hormones (adrenaline, cortisol, and norepinephrine) into the blood- stream brings about specific physiological changes. This hyperstimulus effect can impair normal cellular renewal cycles of skin as well. Effects include inflammati |
| UV Exposure | Repeated exposure to ultraviolet (UV) sun can cause premature aging of the skin, and arti- ficial UV sources can affect clients in stages throughout their life. |
| Group 1 UV Exposure | Classified as mild; wrinkles do not form yet; mild pigment changes and minimal wrinkles. |
| Group 2 UV Exposure | Classified as moderate; may present with age spots and early signs of parallel smile lines. |
| Group 3 UV Exposure | Classified as advanced; obvious signs of discol- oration, visible capillaries, and visible keratosis. |
| Group 4 UV Exposure | Classified as severe; may see yellow-gray skin color and wrinkles throughout. |
| Mature Skin | skin can be improved, but the natural aging process cannot be reversed, nor will the skin be restored to the same vital condition of youth. |
| Treatments goals for Aging and Mature Skin | • Hydrate and revitalize the skin. • Establish regularly scheduled skin evalua- tions that include skin analysis and review with the client to make the appropriate product and treatment adjustments. • An ongoing program of anti-aging treat- ments done i |
| Elasticity of the of Agin and Mature skin | • Use firming ingredients and treatments because aging skin lacks elasticity. • To test elasticity, take a small section of the facial skin or neck between the thumb and forefinger and give the skin a slight outward pull.

| ImportanceofInfection Control | Essential when performing extractions, and the process must be correctly executed before, during, and after for each treatment |
| Reusable instruments | Should be placed in a sterilizer or autoclave which completely kills all microorganisms— including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and bacterial spores—with highly pressurized steam. |
| Disposable instruments | If you do not have a sterilizer or autoclave, use only disposable instruments and dispose after every use to avoid cross-contamination. |
| Extraction Training | The skin must be exfoliated and warmed before extractions are performed. • Imperative that the esthetician wear gloves during extractions and then change the gloves before performing the rest of the facial to prevent the spread of infection. Protective |
| Extraction Methods | To achieve optimum success, you must put pressure on the skin surrounding the follicular wall so that you can extract the impaction with the least trauma to surrounding tissue. |
| Manual comedone removal | Gauze wrapped around gloved fingers, damp- ened with astringent; useful for the majority of extractions. |
| Comedone extractors | Metal tools used for open comedones and sebaceous filaments |
| Comedone swabs | Smaller than fingertips and are especially use- ful around the nose area |
| Lancets | Small, sharp, pointed needle used to make a tiny opening in the epidermis; used for the removal of milia or pustules (check with your state board to see if this is permissible). Important note: Cysts and nodules must be treated by a dermatologist |
