Back facials are the indulgent sister of swedish massage, I am not suggesting in any way back facials work the muscles the same way as massages do, but luxurious back facials are fit for a queen. What makes an indulgent back facial suited for a queen? How can you provide that service to your customers? In school, you might have been taught to use the same products and protocols on the back as you would for the face, while this isn't wrong, it lacks the decadence of a truly indulgent facial that will have your clients begging for more.Most facial products do not work the same as body products. Here is what you need:
(1) Luxurious products designed for the body-think good smells, nice scrubs--My personal favorite is Cuccio--with sea salt, sugar scrubs, body butters and delicious scents...you can't go wrong with this one.
(2) Use plastic wrap to wrap your clients' backs under masks-it helps maintain a relaxing heat and it is easier to remove the product because it will stick to plastic wrap when you remove it.
(3) Use soft, dark-colored towels (larger than typical facial towels)-the softness feels relaxing and the dark color prevents staining the towel.
(4) Consider using a body brush or soft cloth that you can rub up and down the back.
(5) Remember to cover your client with a warm, clean body towel to keep them warm in between product removal.
(6) Use lots of soft, pressure on the back and body parts through the sheets to help relax the client.
(7) Remember, you are not a massage therapist so don't try to massage your clients' backs, but don't shy away from using a soft touch; the human touch has many healing properties.
