Master the Art of Skin Analysis & Skincare Prescription

Understanding skin is the foundation of every successful facialist, skin practitioner, or therapist. Assessing & Prescribing Skincare is an in-depth, science-based training designed to elevate your professional knowledge so you can confidently assess any skin, identify dysfunctions, and prescribe treatment plans that deliver real, lasting change.

Inside this training, you’ll build a complete understanding of the skin — how it functions, how it ages, how different conditions present, and how to create precise, personalised routines for every client.
