ASSESSMENT TASK
Case Study Part A:
Case Study 1 - Seborrhoea/ Acne
John is a 17 year old male, studying in his final year at high school. He works part time in a popular takeaway restaurant on weekends and evenings. John is saving for his first car and has recently taken on extra shifts and is now working most evenings. The extra shifts and studying for final exams has added extra stress on John, and he gets limited sleep at night because he needs to study after he finishes work.
John plays football at school and changes back into his school uniform from his sports clothes that are kept in his gym bag between wears and washes.
The majority of John's meals are from his takeaway restaurant at night (mostly burgers) and school bought lunches (comprising of soft drinks, packets of chips and meat pies). He also has a limited water intake.
John only uses soap on his face and sunblock when outside playing sports. It has been within the last
8 months that his skin has worsened to red, inflamed pustules, papules and open and closed comedones. These are now present on the majority of John's face. Prior to this, John's skin only presented with open and closed comedones and the occasional pustule. John has advised that he has previously visited a doctor who discussed Roaccutane with him.
John's main concern with his skin is the red and inflamed pustules. John is a new client to the salon and this is your first treatment.

Case Study 3 - Diffused Redness/ Rosacea
Jessica is 40 years old; she has fine, pale skin. She has identified that her father has similar skin. Jessica is a part time office worker and is a mother of three children aged eight (8), five (5) and one (1).
Jessica finds that she burns easily and tries to avoid the sun; she is often outside on the weekends watching her children play sports. Her homecare routine is a cream cleanser, moisturiser and an SPF when out in the sun only. Jessica always prepares healthy meals for her children; however, she does drink red wine each night and enjoys spicy food as a takeaway choice weekly.
Since the birth of her last child, Jessica's skin has intensified with the flushing and redness. Her skin now presents as blotchy and red most days and is particularly noticeable on the cheek, nose and chin area. Jessica has also changed her cleanser, as her skin is feeling irritated and sensitive. She has asthma.
