section overview
this section covers:
aveda detoxifying techniques
• Theory of skin detoxification
• Aveda Detoxifying Techniques
The Aveda Detoxifying Techniques increase circulation to the skin, which
brings nutrition and helps the tissues to carry away wastes, leading
to a clearer, healthier looking complexion. Once you have studied this
information and experienced the learning activities with other participants,
you should be able to reach the objectives outlined below.

skin and circulation
definition
The circulatory system helps support the main functions of the skin by
delivering nutrients through blood and lymph. As the transportation system
of the body, it delivers food, water, and
oxygen to every tissue and organ. The blood carries vital, life-giving oxygen
and nutrients to every cell of the body, supplying raw materials for the
energy that powers an individual’s every thought and action.
n: The bodily system consisting
of the heart, blood vessels,
and blood that circulates blood
throughout the body, delivers
nutrients and other essential
materials to cells, and removes
waste products. Also called
cardiovascular system.
If the circulatory pathways become congested or blocked, then needed
supplies can’t reach outer tissues. The resulting uneven distribution of vital
materials can cause various skin conditions, such as:
• Blotchy or uneven skin tone, possible erythema
(red patches or nodules)
• Dehydration (lack of moisture in the skin)
• Edema (when skin swells due to congested circulatory pathways)
• Keratinization (when skin cells adhere to each other, causing clogged
pores)
With improved circulation, the skin’s own natural elimination system
discards impurities from the tissues more efficiently. This is why we
position the Aveda Detoxifying Techniques at the beginning of the facial
treatment, generally before refinement of the skin.

lymphatic system
As part of the circulatory system, the lymphatic system plays an extremely
important role in the body. Blood travels from the heart via the arteries
and into the capillaries to nourish cells and organs. Plasma passes through
the capillary wall and into the tissue space. The space between the cells in
this tissue space is filled with interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid supplies
the cells and receives all the cell waste. For the most part (80-98%) of the
plasma that enters the tissue space and interstitial fluid returns through the
venule end of the capillary into the venous system. 2-20% returns
to the heart through the lymphatic vessels.
The lymph capillaries drain into larger vessels, which make up the lymphatic
system. While flow through the lymphatic system is slow, massaging skeletal
muscles compresses the lymph vessels and moves the lymph along the
system. The lymph collected from the entire left side of the body, the
digestive tract, and the lower portion of the right side of the body flow
into the thoracic duct, which empties into the left subclavian vein, while
lymph from the right side of the head, neck, and chest flows into the right
subclavian vein, completing circulation.
definition
venous system
The venous system reabsorbs
from 80 percent to 98 percent
of interstitial fluid to complete
circulation.
definition
lymphatic system
The lymphatic system reabsorbs
from 2 percent to 20 percent
of interstitial fluid to complete
circulation.
trouble spots
If toxins are not filtered and disposed of efficiently, they can manifest
themselves on the surface of the skin as congestion, edema, acne, or
a blemish.

aveda detoxifying techniques vs. lymphatic drainage
study points:
The Aveda Detoxifying Techniques should not be considered Manual
Lymphatic Drainage, but rather, effective techniques that respect the
lymphatic system and the way lymph flows. These techniques focus on
increasing the circulation to the skin of the face and supporting the
natural flow of lymph through stimulated areas.

skin conditions
congestion
skin conditions and elemental natures
Congestion in terms of skin
care refers to acne, whiteheads,
blackheads, pustules, cysts, and
other inflamed conditions of
the skin.
Use the Aveda Detoxifying Techniques for the following conditions:
• Blemished skin (Water nature)
• Oil-prone skin (Water/Earth natures)
• Congestion/sluggish complexion (Water/Earth natures)
• Dull skin/lack of circulation (Infinity/Air natures)
The Aveda Detoxifying Techniques can exacerbate skin with a Fire nature.
Do not use on the following Fire nature skin conditions:
• Overly sensitive skin
• Rosacea
• Heavily couperosed areas/overcirculation
positioning the detoxifying techniques
These techniques work best when the skin has been properly cleansed and
before refined. It is performed at the beginning of the facial treatment to
take advantage of increased circulation throughout the remaining aspect of
the treatment.
This type of manual manipulation does not take the place of the massage
performed in a facial treatment. They are specific techniques performed
to enhance circulation and can be integrated when customizing a facial
treatment. Adjust the type and length of the massage when choosing to
incorporate detoxifying manipulations.

elemental natures
The Aveda Detoxifying Techniques are best for Infinity/Air nature because
they stimulate circulation and work for Water/Earth nature because they
motivate sluggish skin.

commonly asked questions
1. How do I know which guests would benefit from the Aveda
Detoxifying Techniques?
There are some contraindications to using the Aveda Detoxifying
Techniques on certain skin conditions. Make sure you properly assess
the guest’s Elemental Nature before beginning the techniques. Infinity,
Air, Water, and Earth Elemental Nature skin states benefit from these
techniques. Guests with skin that is blemished, acne-prone, oil-rich,
congested, or lacking in circulation will benefit the most from the Aveda
Detoxifying Techniques.
2. Why isn’t detoxification beneficial to Fire natures, or guests with
rosacea, heavily couperosed areas, or overly dry skin?
These skin conditions do not suffer from the same inefficiencies within
their circulatory systems and therefore do not need detoxification.
In fact, detoxification can exacerbate these conditions.
3. How long do the effects of these techniques last before guests should
return to the spa?
Detoxification could be a regular part of a monthly maintenance facial
for most Elemental Nature skin states. Home care routines can also
help maintain a healthy complexion.
4. Why should detoxification occur at the beginning of a facial treatment?
Detoxification increases circulation, and the ideal time to activate
circulation is at the beginning of a facial treatment. This will positively
affect the rest of the treatment and enhance all of the other techniques
used during the facial treatment.

preparation
Apply a small amount of the Aveda calming or energizing composition to
the skin of the décolleté, arms, neck and facial regions. Base your selection
on the guest’s elemental nature. The composition and its affect on the
autonomic nervous system will assist in improving the circulation to the skin
which will help correct the imbalances reflected in the skin state. It is most
effective to perform the Aveda detoxifying techniques while using a facial
vapor to assist in softening the skin, improving circulation and assisting
in the removal of impurities from the skin. It is important to improve skin
circulation at the beginning of a facial treatment. These techniques can be
performed in any 60 or 90 minute facial treatment and is not considered
a replacement for the massage segment of the treatment. It is a technique
primarily focused on addressing and improving the superficial circulation to
the skin through the olfactory system and manual manipulation.

commonly asked questions
1. Should I perform the Aveda Detoxifying Techniques before I apply the
appropriate composition to the guest’s face, or after?
Perform the appropriate detoxifying techniques after applying the
correct composition.
2. How much pressure should I use when applying the manual
manipulation technique?
The main movements involve pinching, twisting, and sliding. Therefore,
use very light pressure. Increase pressure slightly when manipulating the
axillary areas to help filter lymph that has accumulated in those areas.
3. When should I perform the Detoxifying Manipulations in a facial
treatment?
Perform this technique after skin analysis and before skin refinement
to address and improve the circulation to the skin of the face early
into the treatment and to see the beneficial effects as you progress
throughout the procedure.
