Which step is NOT included in the skin analysis process?

Using a woods lamp
Conducting a brief consultation
Applying foundation makeup
Assessing skin conditions

The correct answer is: Applying foundation makeup

Applying foundation makeup is not part of the skin analysis process. The purpose of skin analysis is to assess the condition of the skin to tailor treatments and products to meet the client's individual needs. This involves evaluating the skin's type, texture, and any specific concerns such as acne, sensitivity, or signs of aging. Using a woods lamp helps to identify deeper skin issues by revealing pigmentation irregularities, while conducting a brief consultation allows the esthetician to gather important information about the client's skincare habits and goals. Assessing skin conditions is a fundamental part of the analysis that informs all subsequent treatment decisions. Foundation application, however, is a cosmetic step that does not contribute to understanding or analyzing the skin's health or condition.
