What is an aesthetician?

I would first like to take a moment to honor my Father, for today would have been his birthday. His insight and wisdom is what taught me that I couldn’t dream too big or make it to the stars.  I will start with basic questions for the curious and beginners to aesthetics and skin care. What is an aesthetician? An aesthetician is a professional that specializes in the study, care and treatment of the skin. The aesthetician must graduate from a state licensed program and has passed both written and practical examinations administered by the State Board in order to receive their license. Aestheticians also take many post- graduate continuing education classes to stay up to date with the latest developments of skin care treatments and the quickly changing industry. What are the benefits of having professional esthetic treatments? With a consultation and detailed analysis of your skin type, you will be receive treatment for and educated on a personally tailored program to make noticeable improvements in your current skin condition. You will then be advised which home care products would be the easiest and most beneficial to maintain your improved skin condition. You will see the best results in conjunction with regularly scheduled facial treatments. The improvements that your skin may experience can be any of the following: texture/firmness, moisture, pigmentation, clarity, decreased redness/sensitivity, and decreased visible aging of your skin for years to come. You will receive the knowledge you need to keep your skin looking and feeling fabulous. All skin will continue to change over your lifetime and an aesthetician will help guide you and prepare you for what to expect. I welcome questions and request any feedback to be without vulgarity and to be kept to the pertaining subject. I hope to help reflect a beautiful you!

 In the next blog, I will cover the different types of treatments, what to expect during a facial and how often to have the treatment services.

Skin Care and Onions

Welcome to my first blog. If I help just one person then it was well worthwhile. I do not claim to have all the answers, nor should a Doctor for that matter. The skincare and make up industry is changing at such a rapid rate that it is even hard for a seasoned professional to keep up. The industry is so much like an onion. There are many people who love make up and skin care, then there are those who tolerate it but simply use it at the basic level, lastly there are those who do not care for it at all. I will do my best to weed through myths, give facts and give you great places to find second opinions. Afterall, look around you will find many opinions. Here's to the start of reflecting a beautiful you.
