What is typically the last step in a facial treatment process?

  1. Mask application

  2. Moisturization

  3. Post consultation review

  4. Exfoliation

The correct answer is: Post consultation review

The final step in a facial treatment process is crucial for ensuring the client leaves with a clear understanding of their skin's needs and how to maintain their results. Conducting a post consultation review serves essential functions: it allows the esthetician to discuss the treatments performed, answer any questions, and recommend home care products tailored to the client's skin type and concerns. This stage presents an opportunity for client education, reinforcing the importance of ongoing skincare and enabling the client to make informed decisions for their skin health. In contrast, the application of a mask, moisturization, and exfoliation are integral steps in the treatment itself, focused on preparing and caring for the skin during the facial. These preceding steps enhance the skin's texture, hydration, and overall appearance but do not provide the critical discussion and follow-up needed to ensure the client's skin care journey continues effectively after the treatment has concluded.
