Functions of the skin

Sensation- The skin helps us to identify heat, touch and pain

Heat regulation- The skin controls the body’s temperature

Absorption- The skin absorbs UV rays from the sun and turns them into vitamin D

Protection- The skin protects the rest of the body from all the weather elements. It is also the first line of defence against bacteria, viruses and foreign bodies

Excretion- Toxins and waste are excreted through the sweat glands which are found in the skin

Secretion- Sweat and sebum are secreted onto the skin.

Skin analysis

Last week we went over how to do our 1st cleanse (sometimes referred to as superficial cleanse)

Can you remember why we do the 1st cleanse?

Skin analysis

Last week we went over how to do our 1st cleanse (sometimes referred to as superficial cleanse)

The purpose of the 1st cleanse is to remove make-up, dirt, and natural oils from the skin.

This allows us to then carry out a skin analysis to identify the clients skin type. We cannot do this without the 1st cleanse.

Task

Use the textbook and find out how you identify the following skin types:

• Normal

• Oily/greasy

• Dry

• Combination

Face mapping sheet

When carrying out your skin analysis, you will use a face mapping sheet to record the information you find out.

As well as finding out the clients skin type, you also need to look for any of the following:

• breakouts

• broken capillaries

• comedones (black heads)

• sensitivity

• Fine lines

Breakouts

These can be papules or pustules

Papules:

• Small, raised bumps on the skin, typically red or pink in colour.

• Do not contain pus.

• Caused by inflammation or clogged pores

Pustules:

• Have a white or yellowish centre filled with pus.

• Typically larger than papules and can be more painful

• Can occur alongside papules during outbreaks

Broken capillaries

Broken capillaries are dilated blood vessels on the surface of the skin.

These can be caused by sun exposure, genetics or skin injury

Comedones

Comedones, more commonly known as blackheads, are caused when pores become blocked with sebum (natural oil) and dead skin cells.

Air causes the blocked pore to oxidise, giving them a black colour.

Sensitivity

Sensitive skin can be caused by a number of things including:

• Irritation to products

• Weather

• Skin conditions

• Genetic

Fine lines

Fine lines can be caused by aging.

They can also be caused by dehydration
