Yesterday was my first day of Esthetics classes. We had an orientation and tour of the place. Then we learned about facials. We practiced and practiced on our little rubber clients. It wasn't too hard. When I came home and told Donna about it, she seemed a little skeptical about receiving a facial. I'll show her. Soon she'll be begging me for a little face massage and facial.
Terms learned last night:
Effleurage – a smooth, gliding stroke, generally used in a Swedish massage, using both hands to relax soft tissue.
Petrissage (also called kneading) – the squeezing, rolling and kneading of the muscles that usually follows effleurage during Swedish massage.
Tapotement – a Swedish massage technique executed with cupped hands, fingers or the edge of the hand with short, alternating taps to the client.
