Skin Therapist careers
A Skin Therapist provides professional skincare treatments to improve the health and appearance of clients' skin. You might work in a spa, clinic, or beauty salon, where you will assess skin conditions and recommend appropriate treatments. Skin Therapists perform services such as facials, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels, and offer advice on skincare routines and product use.
As a Skin Therapist, you play a key role in helping clients achieve their skincare goals. You’ll need to be attentive and detail-oriented, with a strong understanding of skin types and conditions. Building rapport with clients and providing personalised advice are crucial for delivering effective skincare solutions.
