An enlightening two-day seminar:

The importance of the modern beauty therapist and aesthetician possessing basic cosmetic chemistry knowledge is becoming increasingly evident with modern body and skin care cosmetics rapidly encroaching upon the medical field with an ever-increasing range of truly effective products.
In addition to requiring accurate skin diagnosis skills, the therapist of the future will need to know with a degree of accuracy, what the effects of prescribed products and treatments will be when administered to specific skin conditions.

Some individuals suffer one or more of a wide array of adverse reactions to cosmetic products ranging from mild irritation to acne-like eruptions and dermatitis. With basic cosmetic chemistry knowledge, the therapist can avoid potential adverse reactions caused by specific chemicals applied to specific skin conditions, in addition to helping identify the causes of client’s skin irritations.

In this course, we will examine the ingredient most commonly found in modern cosmetic products, and explain their actions and roles in the formulations. We will also relate them to the effect they may have on specific conditions of the skin. Make-up is not included in this program, as this is the realm of chemistry for the beautician.

The seminar is presented by International skin treatment expert Florence Barrett-Hill, a respected industry educator, author, researcher and practitioner with over 30 years of experience to share.
