Course Description

"How long you live rests largely in your own hands. So does how well you live, how much vitality you have and how good you will look in twenty years' time." Leslie Kenton, Ageless Ageing - The Natural Way to Stay Young.

The beauty therapist with the correct qualifications will be able to advise clients about skin and body care. Today high standards of technology used in the production of beauty products mean that real improvements can be made. Beauty therapists are "redundancy proof" and always in demand with plenty of opportunity to take up other related therapies.
