As estheticians, we are licensed to work with the integument, treating it according to what we learned in school and what is allowed within our scope of practice.

As the winter season blankets the world in a layer of frost, our skin requires extra attention and care to combat the harsh weather conditions. Cold temperatures can strip away the skin's natural moisture, leaving it dry, dull, and prone to irritation.

With all the constant advancements in our industry, estheticians have never been in a better position to achieve the best anti-aging results for our clients’ skin. There are endless choices of products and modalities available that promise to improve our bottom line, attract and retain new clientele, and gain a competitive edge over other skin care professionals in our area.
