Final 3 Flashcards
Back Facial Purpose 4
cleanse and exfoliate
promote circulation
clear blackheads and acne
relaxation
purpose of back facials
analyze
cleanse
steam and exfoliate
extract
massage
and apply mask.
benefits of back facial 4
sets you apart from others
great in-between facials
many don’t consider back skin conditions until summer or events
clients cannot reach these places
Types of Skin cancer 3
basal cell carcinoma
squamous cell carcinoma
malignant malenoma
normal mole
small brownish spot
not cancerous
Basal cell carcinoma
light pearly nodule
least severe
squamous cell carcinoma 4
more serious
scaly red/pink
papules/nodules can be open or crusty,
can grow and spread
malignant melanoma
most serious
black/dark patches
usually uneven and jagged
100% FATAL IF UNTREATED
ABCDE rule of assessing moles
A= asymmetry
B= border - uneven/irregular, can looked jagged, notched blurry, colour may spread into area around mole
C= colour; not the same throughout. shades of tan, brown, black, blue, grey, red, pink, white
D= diameter; size of mole is larger than 6mm across
E= evolving; change in colour, size, shape, feel. itchy or burning
3 Types of UV
UVA
UVB
UVC
UVA radiation 3
- goes deeper into the skin (dermis)
- causes premature aging and wrinkles
-causes change in appearance of skin colour (tan)
UVB radiation 3
- affects the skins surface (epidermis)
- contributes to burning of skin
- causes eye damage
UVC radiation 2
very dangerous
filtered by ozone layer
two types of sunscreen
physical
chemical
physical sunscreen 3
aka mineral
work by creating physical barrier on the skin that shields from Sun rays
broad spectrum protection by reflecting UV radiation away
ward off UVA skin damage - hyperpigmentation and wrinkles
what are mineral sunscreens formulated with 2
zinc oxide and titanium oxide
2 ingredients recognized as safe and effective
chemical sunscreens 2
don’t sit on skin or block rays
feature active ingredients that absorb UV rays before skin can soak them up
what ingredients to chemical sunscreens include 6
oxybenzone
avobenzone
octisalate
octocrylene
homosalute
octinoxate
skin cancer prevention 2
avoiding direct exposure to sunlight/UV rays
applying sunscreen daily even if you don’t plan to be outside or not sunny out
holistic skin care
look at whole body
look at root cause of skin imbalances to help achieve healthy functioning skin
what is gua sha 4
derived from traditional chines medicine
healing method that uses smooth edged tool to stroke the skin while pressing on it
can be on whole body
help reduce muscle inflammation and relieve muscle/joint pain
gua sha on face 2
excellent way to help reduce inflammation, stimulate stagnant qi (energy), drain lymph and promote healing
flatter hold= less pressure
what is derma planing
facial treatment that uses surgical grade scalpel to scrape across the surface of the skin
purpose of dermaplaning. 3
exfoliate
remove fine vellus facial hair
provide smoother appearance
method of derma planing 3
skin clean and toned
serum/facial oil to help glide
scalpel held at 45 degree angle and gently scraped in small strokes
considerations of derma planing 5
not on acne/inflamed skin
swimming and sun must be avoided after
good exfoliation for pregnant women who can’t have chemical/electric
over use will damage barrier
done 3-4 weeks
micro current 2
device that mimics the body’s natural electrical energy to reeducate ad tone facial muscles
improve circulation and increases collagen and elastin production
rosacea 6
inflammatory and vascular disorder with multiple causes
flushing/increased buts of redness
visible vessels and skin sensitivity
can progress to pustular breakouts confused with acne
can affect eyes (bloodshot, discharge, irritation)
advances= thickening of skin
rosacea triggers 3
extreme temps
spicy foods and foods that cause inflammation
poor gut/skin microbiome
how to help rosacea during facial 6
pressure point massage instead of regular massage
avoid abrasive exfoliants
no steam/hot towels
use cooling tools; hydrating mist, ice globes, gum she
skin calming mask
LED green
Cryotherapy 1
cold temperatures introduced during the facial causing reduction in blood vessel size
benefits of cryotherapyn4
reduce redness/inflammation
pain relief
firmer skin
reduce puffiness
tools used in cryotherapy 4
cool gush stones/face roller
ice globes
facial mist in cooler
liquid nitrogen muted over face
most important lymph node
suoerclavicular
express/mini facial 5
less steps takes about 30 mins
omitted steps may be; steaming, long massage, extractions
good cleansing, exfoliation, peel and mask most important
may target one area - cleanse, target area (eyes or cheeks) hydration, serum
home care
who benefits from mini facials 2`
client who doesent have enough time for full facial - can be lunch break
opportunity to discuss other facials and introduce products
cheaper option
importance of homecare
just like the gym, one needs to work on there own to see results instead of just seeing professional once/twice a month
facial cupping 5
manual form of suction machine
ancient method commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine
suction cups to stimulate skin and muscles on face.
cup is squeezed while it glides over facial oil/serum creating light suction
no marks
benefits of facial cupping 4
increase oxygen rich blood circulation relaxing muscle
tension strengthening skin and connective tissue
stimulate cells responsible for collagen production
great for massage
facial roller 3
often jade, marble or metal
traditional Chinese medicine
nice and cool on the skin
face roller benefits 5
improves circulation
reduce puffiness
assist lymph to drain if done properly
calming and soothing
can releive sinus pain
probiotic 3
defends and protects skin from pathogens
maintain skin barrier
prevent premature aging
competitive exclusion 2
forming living armour on skin surface
good microbes occupy space and eat all available food so bad guys can’t grow
t- junction function 2
probiotics increase quality and quantity of stitches between skin cells known as tight junctions
form together creating barrier to keep toxins and pathogens out and moisture in
defensins 2
anti-microbial peptides
make life hard for bad microbes without effecting beneficial ones
benefits of improved barrier function 3
super hydration
sensitivity moderation
active anti aging
what are the 4 types of probiotics
broth
lysate
tyndallisation
live probiotics
broth 2
medium
microbes grown in medium , they are removed and the ferment/medium is used
lysates 2
probiotic extract
microbes grown in medium, cell membranes are broken and cell contents are filtered and used
tyndallisation 2
probiotic extract
microbes grown in medium, medium is heated to kill them and medium is used with whole microbes in it
live probiotics
microbes are still alive and able to colonize
probiotic extract 2
can signal to human cells to change their behaviour
selectively Destroy pathogens
live probiotics
actively shift the ecology on the skin in meaningful way
multiplying and becoming active part of ecosystem
factors that can cause lack of microbiome 7
sanitation
chlorinated water
c-section
antibiotics- 3 years to regulate
human interaction
soaps
cosmetics
how much of microbial diversity show we may have lost
35%
keystone species
species that significally alter the habitat around it =, affecting large number of organisms.
