Accredited Diploma in Organic Facial Therapy

OVERVIEW

There is now a huge industry demand for natural and organic skincare, as well as the need for a nurturing hands-on approach to facials.

This course will qualify you to provide an additional service to your massage clients – it is an organic facial and skincare routine which includes specialised massage techniques to the face, head, neck and shoulders.

Many people are now mindful of the products used on their skin, particularly their face, and seek anti-ageing skincare treatments.

Katie will teach her specialised massage techniques for the face, neck and shoulders to lift and tone the skin and muscles, utilising organic facial products made by hand on the south coast of England. This can be used as a complementary treatment within a bodywork session, aromatherapy treatment or can be linked with any alternative therapy to make these treatments a complete holistic experience for the client and therapist.

Uses specialised massage techniques for the face, neck and shoulders, which will lift and tone the skin and facial muscles.
