Assessor Resource

SHBBFAS002
Provide facial treatments and skin care recommendations

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to provide facial treatments to meet client needs.

It requires the ability to establish priorities with clients, synthesise knowledge of anatomy and physiology, skin science, cosmetic chemistry and nutrition, and to design and provide facial routines and advice on products and protection of facial skin. Facials can be a single treatment or form part of a series of treatments.

The unit applies to beauty therapists who work in beauty salons and spas. In this environment they are part of a team but make independent treatment decisions.

No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
