Theoretical Subjects - Skin Types, Conditions & Elements
The subject Skin Types, Skin Conditions and Skin Elements is the foundation for performing professional and targeted treatments. Here you learn to analyse the skin in depth and identify both its natural characteristics and the current challenges the client is experiencing.
What will you learn?
In this subject you gain insight into:
- The classic skin types: normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive
- Skin conditions such as dehydrated skin, impurities, redness, signs of ageing and more
- Skin elements such as pores, sebum production, lines, pigmentation and texture
- Individual skin assessment and analysis methods
- The connection between lifestyle, environment and skin condition
You learn to use your knowledge in practice, so you can offer tailored treatments and recommend the right products - all with the client’s unique skin as the starting point.
Why is it important?
No skin is the same, and therefore no treatment should be standard. With a deep understanding of skin types and skin conditions, you become able to work in a targeted and effective manner. This creates results, satisfied clients - and makes you a competent and sought-after cosmetologist.
Teaching format
The subject combines theory with practical skin analysis, where you train in observing, feeling and interpreting the skin’s signals. You learn to ask the right questions and build a thorough client consultation that forms the basis for treatment and guidance.
