Professional Facial Techniques for Sun-Damaged and Dehydrated Skin
In today’s fast-paced world, your clients don’t always have time to protect their skin. In this DVD, renowned award-winning aesthetician and licensed massage therapist, Eva Mileski, tackles two of the most common enemies of the skin: sun-damage and dehydration. The first section shows how a Vitamin C facial counteracts the scorching effects of the sun on your clients’ skin.

Eva demonstrates both types of facials and discusses cleansing and the use of sponges, steamers, and a hot towel wrap. She shows how to apply ampoules, gommage, enzymes, creams, moisturizers, masks, sun blocks, and serums. Finally, she walks you through her extensive facial massage. She also outlines effective products to use in each facial and explains why they work. (1 Hr. 25 Mins.)
