the different products she should use
when doing the facial at home to target
her specific concerns and help improve
and maintain her skin.
Gently massage down the sides of her
neck, not on the spine, with an Aroma
Stress Therapy Lotion for 15 seconds.
The goal is to relax your client and
ensure that her treatment is an
enjoyable experience so that she comes
back to you on a regular basis.
Therefore, the shoulder/neck massage
is extremely important.
Gently cleanse the delicate eye area to
remove any eye makeup and
impurities.
Gently brush over their lips with the

Converting this traditional lesson plan into an e-learning course will be very beneficial for Salon
owners. An e-learning course would allow Salon owners to train large number of Estheticians at
the same time. It will help them cut back on costs spent facilitating a traditional learning session
(eg. renting out a room, paying a trainer to facilitate the training, etc). I would use the platform
www.coursesites.com to convert this learning session into an e-learning course. I would create a
video demonstration of the Invigorating Facial with a transcript for Estheticians to watch and
learn. I would also include a test/quiz at the end of the course to test their knowledge learned. I
would use www.coursesites.com because it is a free, very simple and easy to use platform to
create e-learning courses. This e-learning course would be beneficial for trainees as well because
it would allow them to complete the course anywhere at any time. They can watch it several
times if need be. They can also go back and watch it when they need a refresher. Converting this
traditional lesson plan into an e-learning course would be beneficial for both Salon
owners/trainers and trainees.
