Basic Anatomy Of The Skin

Before you can treat the skin with confidence, you need to understand how it works. This downloadable guide is designed to give you a clear, well-structured understanding of the layers of the skin, what they do, and how they’re affected by ageing, lifestyle, and skincare ingredients.

From the epidermis and dermis to the subcutaneous layer, we break down the skin’s structure in a way that’s easy to understand but packed with practical, clinical relevance. You’ll learn about key components like collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and the skin barrier—and why they matter when treating real skin conditions.

We also explore skin cell turnover, the role of melanin, and the vital importance of maintaining a healthy acid mantle and microbiome—giving you the tools to make informed treatment choices and explain the ‘why’ behind your recommendations.

Perfect for new therapists, those refreshing their knowledge, or anyone serious about skin health.
