PREPARATION FOR TREATMENT

A facial is one of the most restful treatments a beauty shop had to offer. It should be considered with respect by everyone and an atmosphere of peace and quite provided by refraining from all unnecessary noise. 
A special booth should be set aside for facial work, located in the quietest part of the shop.
As soon as the patron enters the booth begin your work by making

her relax. Speak quietly and gently and treat her with tenderness just as if she were a child.

Ask the patron to remove her dress. This will prove more convenient for you to perform your work and eliminate any chance of soiling or rumpling her dress. If a facial couch is available have her recline on it, and remove her shoes.

Now take a turkish towel and place over the chest, tucking it in under the underwear, and well in at the back. If the shop is chilly a blanket should be spread over the lower body and limbs.

Make a two-inch fold lengthwise in a plain towel, wrap the towel, fold inside around the head of the patron, and pin. Lift the ear lobes from beneath the towel and see that the towel just touches the hair line all around.

The operator must wash her hands and dry them before the patron. All creams, packs, etc., should be removed from their containers with a spatula or wood paddles. Never, under any circumstances are the fingers dipped into any products used.

Everything that is to be used in the facial treatment should be set out and arranged in an orderly and attractive manner near the facial chair.

PLAIN MASSAGE

First apply Madame C.J. Walker's Cleansing Cream and pat it gently over the face and neck. Do not massage this cream into the face as the dirt may be massaged into the pores. Remove the cream with a piece of cotton or facial tissues and apply three hot towels. Use towels measuring about 18 by 36 inches. Take a towel and after folding it double and immersing it in hot water, lay it over the face with ends reaching around the patron's neck. Be sure to fold the towel so that it has an opening at the nose and at the mouth. In applying the three hot towels, wring them as dry as possible as too much hot water will drive the impurities into the skin rather than force them out. Next, apply Madam C.J. Walker's Nourishing Cream. This excellent cream will add tone to dull skins, nourish, and soften the tissues of the skin. It leaves the skin soft, clear, and healthy. Massage this cream well into the pores, using the twelve movements that you have just learned. Close the pores with witch hazel and cold towels, or go over the face with a piece of ice. Ice is one of the best astringents known. A plain facial massage is never so refreshing as when finished with Madam C.J. Walker's Vanishing Cream. This cream, aside from absorbing the oils and closing the pores, is an excellent powder
