Facial Skincare

This course covers the technique for performing a superficial and deep cleanse, tone, steam, extract, massage, mask and moisturisation. It also includes fantastic anatomy and physiology resources with clear diagrams and images. Health and safety guidance is covered as well as skin conditions, skin analysis and advice about different skin types as well as guidance as to which type of product is suitable for use. 

These courses are ideal if you want to add a new skill to your career, are wanting to refresh your knowledge after time away from your practice, or to get a taster of what the beauty industry is like prior to completing a VTCT international qualification.

These level 2 beauty day courses in Nottingham are designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform these treatments professionally and safely. They are also an excellent way to add new treatments to your salon or spa menu and increase your earning potential.

As we are accredited with the Beauty Guild, this will mean you can be insured to carry out treatments after you have completed your qualification.  The Beauty Guild is not an international or regulated training body.
