Skin Disease's and disorders.

                                                        Skin diseases and disorders

So in class we have been looking at and exploring different skin disorders and diseases so we are aware what to work on and not work on. So iv done some research and found some different skin diseases and disorders to discuss in my blog.
  So first I researched what is a skin disease and what is a disorder, what was the difference between them and so on.

A skin disease is something can be treated but may not be cured.
A skin disorder is something that can be cured.

What is a Contra-Indication?
A contra-indication is any infection or disease that restricts a treatment or application of make-up or certain products.

What is a Contra-Action?
A Contra-action is if a client has a reaction to a product during an application or where you need to adapt the  procedure.
