Please make more of these ! So helpful

what are you using for your cleanser?

[@CosmoReady]

I believe I'm using hand soap for my cleanser in this video, but you could use lotion or hair conditioner. Then you won't have the bubbling effect when you're trying to remove the product.

Quick question, do you need gloves when performing the facial part?

[@CosmoReady]

Great Question! Technically you only need gloves during hair removal, blood exposure and when you are using the disinfectant wipes. However, if you feel more comfortable wearing gloves during the skill demonstrations, because you wear them during treatments, you can. You won't be marked down unless you forget to change your gloves between clients or after using disinfectant wipes. Hope this helps.

Hello im currently studying for my practical exam in Georgia, is this the updated version of the test for Georgia? Cause i know its different for every state i just want to make sure so i can pass first try

[@CosmoReady]

Yes - it looks like the Georgia Esthetics exam includes this Basic Facial skills demo.

[@kiarathompson5608]

Do you have a demo of the microdermabrasion and jump rope procedure?

[@kiarathompson5608]

And putting the kit together

[@CosmoReady]

@@kiarathompson5608 Sorry, we do not have a demo for microdermabrasion, lash extensions or hard wax procedures. I believe there are only a few states that have those skills. However, this is something we will look into for the future videos. Here is an older video that shows the microdermabrasion at the 10 min. mark. Hope this helps - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2rTg4pmnKqpd9Esi=dRormaI193r93mFd

@@kiarathompson5608 Currently we sell test kits and interactive online lessons for both practical and written exams, with the exception of the skills noted above. Very recently we've had quite a few requests for kit packing videos and are considering adding those items to our content.

I can’t wait to see you update for new video of chemical waving and other 🙏

[@CosmoReady]

To my knowledge Chemical Waving didn't change. Here is the link to our Chemical Waving video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpLYi3hqrZKBmJI Which state will you be testing in?

Is this universal info? Is this the same requirements used for Alabama state board?

[@CosmoReady]

Hi Tiffany, Good question. Requirements do vary from state to state, but it looks like the Alabama Esthetics exam does follow this procedure for the Basic Facial😀

[@MeatMaster2]

I noticed you sanitize your hands between every step. Is that because you're touching the trash? If I'm just throwing things in the trash without touching it, do I need to sanitize my hands between all the product application. It seems over the top. That's not me in the picture icon, btw, using my sons account.

[@CosmoReady]

Great question. Any time you move away from your client and return, you should be sanitizing. Even if you are dropping something into the trash you should be sanitizing before touching your supplies and/or client. This information came from several NIC information sessions I've attended over the years. It may seem over the top, but state boards is mostly about safety and sanitation.

[@faithnichole93]

VERY helpful video being I’m taking my exam in 3 short days but I did notice something- you’re not wearing gloves for the cleansing part, the very beginning. Is that required?

[@CosmoReady]

Great question. For Aesthetics, gloves are only required when performing the Hair Removal service and when you handle the disinfectant wipes. I used to teach aesthetics and our students wore gloves for ALL services. If you are more comfortable with gloves, you can wear them. Just remember to continue to sanitize your gloves anytime you place items in the trash or one of the other bags. Wishing you the best on your exam!

Do I need to use an exfoliating brush? Can I just use my fingers?

[@CosmoReady]

Great Question! I wouldn't use your fingers. The criteria states "Performs exfoliation with manual exfoliant using an implement or material " You could use other items besides an exfoliating brush, but it can not be battery operated. You can Google "manual silicone facial cleansing brush" to see a few examples.

I’m waiting to see the update about hair removal hard wax upper lip, Can I use the real hard wax? Including wax warm?

[@CosmoReady]

Very few states require hard wax on the upper lip. According to the NIC information, it is real hard wax. Which would require heating the wax before use. However, you should check with your state testing company for specific guidance, as they may not follow the NIC protocols. nictesting.org/wp-content/uploads/formidable/3/SECTION-10-HAIR-REMOVAL-of-the-UPPER-LIP-USING-HARD-WAX-3.pdf

[@amynamvong414]

Thanks 🙏 for your update video technique is very helpful❤️👍 🙏

[@biancapugh5576]

Is it the same in 2022?

[@CosmoReady]

Yes, the update took place in 2021 and will be relevant for several years, until they update the skill demonstration again. Please be sure to follow your CIB to verify this is the facial requirement for your state.

[@biancapugh5576]

CIB?????

[@CosmoReady]

@@biancapugh5576 The Candidate Information Bulletin (CIB) is available from your state testing company. It's the document that tells you all about your exam and how to prepare for the skill demonstrations.
