Knowledge of the structure, functions and conditions of the skin are the tools you need to recognize and treat different skin types and conditions.
Spa Therapy

What sounds better than a day at the spa? The spa is a place where everything is dedicated to relaxing and taking care of guests. From the moment a guest enters the spa, the senses are stimulated: there is a relaxing fragrance in the air, the lighting, sounds and colours are soft and soothing. Treatments and therapies put guests into a state of total personal comfort. Most flourishing spas offer core services such as facials, manicures and pedicures. Learn how to go beyond these treatments and offer more advanced treatments such as body wraps, body scrubs, cellulite treatments and relaxation massage. The spa is a wonderful thing.
