facial therapy & Skincare TRAINING

This one-to-one Facial Therapy & Skincare Foundations course is designed for those who want to learn facials properly, with depth, understanding, and professional guidance.

Rather than rushing through a routine, this course focuses on helping you understand skin, product selection, and treatment structure so you can work safely and confidently with real clients.

Private delivery allows close observation of technique, immediate correction, and detailed explanation throughout the day. This ensures you leave not just with certification, but with genuine confidence in your ability to carry out professional facial treatments.

This course forms the foundation for all advanced facial training and is ideal for beginners who want calm, thorough, high-standard education.

Why This Course Is Different

Facial training is often delivered in group settings, where time and attention must be divided between multiple students. This can limit observation, correction, and deeper understanding of skin and product use.

This course is delivered on a one-to-one basis, allowing:

  • every stage of the facial to be closely observed

  • hand positioning, pressure, and technique to be corrected in real time

  • product selection and layering to be fully explained

  • treatments to be adapted to suit different skin types and conditions

Rather than following a rigid, scripted routine, you will learn how to think like a facial therapist, understanding why products are chosen and how to respond to the skin in front of you.

This level of depth is not possible in shorter, group-based courses and is designed to prepare you for real clients, not just certification.

Pricing: £325

(A £100 booking fee is required to secure your training date. The remaining balance can be paid on the day of your course or added at checkout if you prefer to pay in full.)
