Working as a Beauty Assistant in pharmacy or a department store, as trained expert skin therapists – skin consultations are the most important step to ensuring your clients’ skincare needs and expectations are met.
Gina Cook – National Training Manager, Ella Baché shares her methods on building customer trust through skin consultations. It’s all about expert diagnosis of the skin, she says, reminding us, as Madame Baché said: “Know your product but first know your skin”, a philosophy and mantra that runs deep through our core beliefs in attaining the best results. A thorough consultation reveals your customers’ skin type, conditions and concerns and allows the correct treatment and product plans to be created.
One of the most common skin concerns that affects all skin types and skin conditions is dehydration which can cause or accelerate further conditions such as sensitivity, dull lacklustre skin, ageing and stripped, oily problematic skin – just to name a few. Consultations reveal a lot about your client, what product they are using or not using, their lifestyle and general factors that are having effects on the health of their skin.
Ella Baché Skin Solutions are a 3-step process.
1. Seasonal skin diagnosis – the skin changes seasonally so a change in skincare needs to be assessed.
2. Treatment plans – will follow on from the diagnosis and a unique plan will be made for each client.
3. Essential homecare – to support both the diagnosis and treatment in achieving and maintaining results.
During consultations we set goals to aim for the best possible results. In summer numerous clients present with signs of dehydration, caused by many factors including increased UV exposure, water intake, lifestyle, skincare regime and more. For these clients, a series of facials with the incorporation of Microdermabrasion – ‘Reveal My Good Side with Micro’ and ‘Help me Hydrate’ are the perfect treatments to build the skin’s resilience to moisture loss and help fix dehydrated skin, leaving skin looking hydrated, plump and brighter. We’ll then offer specific and targeted homecare products and treatments that can be done at home and will give your client the perfect Skin Solution.
As therapists we need to provide our clients with every opportunity to maximise their skin results. Presenting your client with a prepared skin solution will allow them to feel confident and in safe, expert hands!
