Hi
Most skin care companies have a routine that hopefully your new employer will run through with you or send you on some training to learn. Do you know what products you will be using? Most are usually very similar, cleanse, exfoliate, massage and mask. While the mask is on it's nice to offer a hand, foot or scalp massage, explain at the beginning of the treatment what you're going to do and ask what they would prefer, by the time you get to that bit they're usually half asleep!! Have a chat with your boss to see what they normally do.
Best of luck, hope it goes well.

Maybe have a small card near you with bullet points in order of regime. You're bound to be a bit nervous at first and this will prompt you if you lose your way; concentrate on the client and you'll forget your nerves. Good luck; I bet you'll be great!

This is the order I do a facial
Use eye make-up remover
cleanse
Inspect the skin
Exfoliate
Massage
Mask
Tone
Moisturise

I spend ages on the massage part. Sometimes when the mask is on I just leave the client alone to relax or sometimes I do a neck, chest, shoulder massage while the mask is on.
Good luck with the facial.

Guess they can't be that weak as you got the job:green:

All I would say is it all comes with practice and the more you do the more natural it becomes and to be honest not many clients would notice mistakes. Although there is a routine to facials you will soon develop your own.

Good luck and let us know how you get on
