I presume you would need to be thinking of massage medium, the difference in thickness & sensitivity of old & young skins etc etc.

Thinking back, I think its to do with the movements you use. With someone with older skin would you do more or less pettrisage/effluerage/tapotment? What about a younger client, would u do more stimulating massage to help penetrate the product or would this encourage sebum production. An older client with less elasticity in the skin, would need more stimulus, but you would have to be careful of dragging the skin. Hope this helps

I think they are def looking for the massage medium used and also the massage movements....for instance, someone with dry skin would need a cream as opposed to a lotion etc... and as above increasing tapotement to temporary tone skin with less muscle tone! Loraine Nordman book is fantastic for NVQ 2 and has all the info in there. Our college library loaned this out or you may be able to pick it up from e-bay used. The level 2 has a bright yellow cover and level 3 is pink
