——————————————————————————————————-
Esthetician: Hi! I’m Anna. I’ll be your esthetician today. How’s your skin been?
Client: It’s been a little dry and dull.
Esthetician: Okay, let me take a look. … Alright, I’d recommend our Hydrating Facial. It’s great for dry skin. Sound good?
Client: Yes, that sounds good.
Esthetician: Perfect. Let me walk you through what I’ll be using today.
1. Cleanser
Esthetician: First, I’m going to cleanse your face with this gentle face wash. It cleans your skin without drying it out. It has green tea and aloe, so it’s very calming.
2. Exfoliant
Esthetician: Next, I’ll apply this soft enzyme mask. It removes dead skin cells gently. It uses fruit enzymes instead of rough scrubs, so it won’t irritate your skin.
3. Steam
Esthetician: Then I’ll use warm steam to open up your pores. After that, I’ll gently clean out your nose and T-zone if needed.
4. Face Massage
Esthetician: Now I’ll give you a relaxing face massage with this facial oil. It has jojoba and rosehip oil. It softens your skin and helps you relax.
5. Serum
Esthetician: After the massage, I’ll apply this hydrating serum. Think of it like a big glass of water for your skin. It plumps it up and gives you a nice glow.
6. Moisturizer
Esthetician: Then I’ll put on this moisturizer. It locks in hydration and keeps your skin soft all day. It also helps strengthen your skin barrier.
7. Sunscreen
Esthetician: Last step, I’ll apply sunscreen. This is super important. It protects your skin from the sun and helps prevent early aging.
8. Eye Cream
Esthetician: I’ll also dab a little eye cream around your eyes. It helps with fine lines and puffiness.
Client: That all sounds great. How often should I get this done?
Esthetician: For dry skin, once a month is perfect.
Client: What should I use at home?
Esthetician: A gentle face wash, a hydrating serum, and a moisturizer with SPF in the morning. You can also use a hydrating mask once or twice a week.
Client: Thank you so much! My skin feels amazing.
Esthetician: You’re welcome! Your skin looks great. Here’s a small sample of the serum — try it at home.
Client: Thank you! I’ll definitely be back.
