Level 2 Facial & Skincare Course

Build strong foundations in professional skincare.

Our Level 2 Facial & Skincare Course is designed for beginners or therapists wanting to confidently deliver tailored facial treatments with a deeper understanding of skin health. This course focuses on correct skin analysis, treatment structure, consultation skills, and creating results-driven yet relaxing facial experiences.

Facials are more than just a treatment — they are an opportunity to improve skin condition, support client confidence, and build long-term client relationships. This course ensures you understand both the practical and theoretical aspects of skincare so you can work safely and effectively.

Before Your Training Day

To help you feel prepared and confident, you will receive a comprehensive training manual ahead of your course.

The manual covers:

  • Skin anatomy and function

  • Skin types and conditions

  • The skin barrier and common concerns

  • Contraindications and treatment restrictions

  • Facial treatment structure

  • Consultation and aftercare advice

You will complete a short knowledge check prior to attending to help embed your understanding and ensure you arrive ready to focus on hands-on learning.

Training Day Details

In-salon training
Christchurch
9:30am – 4:00pm

This is a practical, demonstration-led training day where you will both observe and perform a full facial treatment under supervision. Group sizes are kept small to allow time for questions, guidance, and technique correction.

You will be guided step-by-step through a structured facial routine, building confidence in both your hands-on skills and client communication.

What You Will Learn

Skin Analysis & Consultation

How to identify skin types, recognise common skin conditions, carry out a thorough consultation, and tailor treatments appropriately.

Cleansing & Exfoliation Techniques

Performing double cleansing, selecting suitable exfoliation methods, and maintaining skin balance during treatment.

Facial Massage

Learning professional massage movements to promote circulation, relaxation, and enhance the overall treatment experience.

Mask Application & Treatment Customisation

Selecting appropriate masks and adapting treatments to suit individual skin needs.

Aftercare & Treatment Planning

Advising clients on homecare routines, maintenance treatments, and setting realistic expectations for results.

Case Studies & Developing Confidence

To ensure you reach a confident professional standard, you will complete a minimum of 4 case studies following your training day.

These case studies allow you to:

  • Work with different skin types and concerns

  • Improve your consultation skills

  • Refine your massage technique

  • Build confidence in structuring a full professional facial

Constructive feedback and ongoing guidance are provided during this period to help you improve consistency and develop your own professional treatment style.

A Supportive Learning Experience

This course is structured to make skincare feel clear and manageable, even if you are completely new to the industry. The focus is on understanding the purpose behind each step, so you feel knowledgeable rather than simply following a routine.

By the end of the course, you will feel confident carrying out a structured Level 2 facial, analysing skin correctly, and delivering a professional treatment that leaves clients relaxed and well cared for.
