 Roll of cotton
 Large bowl filled with approximately 4 cups of water
 Small plastic bowl for holding finished pads

Procedure to Make Cleansing Rounds

1. Sanitize hands, both sides. Unroll the cotton. Put on gloves. Divide the cotton
into strips approximately four by six inches. This is about the width of the average
hand. Tear the cotton (do not use scissors) so that the edges are frayed and the
cleansing pads are less lumpy when the edges are folded under.

2. To make a round cleansing pad, hold one of the cotton strips in one hand and
pull downward with the hand until the cotton tears, making cotton squares
approximately four inches wide by five inches long. Three of these pieces will be
needed for each facial service.

3. Submerge the cotton pieces under water while the pad is supported by the
fingers. Tuck the edges of the cotton under and into the center of the pad while
turning your hands (the pad should be full in the center). If the pad is flimsy and limp
you may have been lifting the cotton out of the water when turning with hands.

4. Place the round pad in the palm of your hand, placing the other palm over the
pad. Squeeze out the excess water from the cotton. Do not squeeze between
the fingers of your hands or you will create ridges in the cotton pad.

page 4
Procedure to Make Small Cleansing Rounds

1. Makeup removal rounds are made following the same procedure as the
cleansing round pads. The only difference is to use cotton size of 2 ½” x 2 ½”.
Be careful not to make them as thick as the round cleansing pads.

Procedure to Make Butterfly Eye Pads

1. Butterfly eye pads can be made with a strip piece of cotton approximately 2” x 6”
long. Submerge the strip into water. Twist the cotton strip in the center with one-
half turn. Fold the pad in half and squeeze out the excess water (squeeze out in
between the palms not the fingers).

Procedure to Make Cotton Compress/Mummy Mask

Cotton Compress/Mummy Mask is made with a strip of cotton measuring four inches
by nine inches. Approximately the size of a hand and a half.

1. Measure the compress/ mummy mask on the strip of cotton. Using your hand
and a half.
2. Using both hands, submerge the cotton strip under water.
3. Before the cotton has a chance to spread out, take one end of the strip with your
right hand, lift the strip out of the water. Quickly place your left hand under the
opposite end of the strip.
4. Fold the strip in half, then half again.
5. Squeeze out the excess water from the strip between palms of both hands.

water). When using other modalities prior preparation is required.

10. Prepare the client consultation, release forms, and service slip. Place all the
forms and the service on a clipboard. Make sure you have a pen with black ink
only!

▪ On the neck grab the skin and release quickly. Note the degree of
elasticity; excellent/good/fair/poor.
▪ On the jaw line, push the skin slightly upward with index finger. Here you
are looking for crepiness and flakiness. This will determine the level of
dehydration. Skin is either well hydrated or dehydrated.

page 10
 ▪ On the cheek, lightly pinch the skin to feel the texture. Note if the skin is
thin, medium or thick.
▪ On the forehead, cheek and chin you will test for sensitivity. Use the pad of
your thumb to press firmly and lift quickly. Note how fast the capillaries refill
with blood.

beginning in T-zone, then moving outwards to cheeks.

obtain this result, whip vigorously with a facial brush. Steam must be used
with this product.

2. Using a facial brush, apply the product evenly starting from the upper
neck. Work upward to the forehead in smooth strokes.

3. Allow product to work with just the steam for 5-7 minutes. Do not work

Using an up movement work the debris out of the follicle. Do not pinch the skin if this
happens re-separate the skin (taut) and try again.

Bridge and the Tip of the Nose: Use light and gently pressure with the covered tips of
index fingers to work the debris out of the follicle. Be extremely careful in this area due to
cartilage.

Nostrils and Sides of Nose: Brace the opposite side of the nostril to be extracted with
the pad of the thumb and index finger for extractions. Using a gently sliding motion with
other index finger, dislodge debris from the nostril crease. Be sure to use caution due to
cartilage.
