Skincare Specialists
Career Snapshot
Skin care therapy is becoming an increasingly essential aspect of the beauty industry. Skin care specialists, often known as aestheticians, cleanse and beautify skin by doing facials, full-body treatments, head and neck massages, and some types of hair removal, such as waxing or electrolysis. Not all skin care professionals offer all of these treatments. It is dependent on where they work as well as how they are taught and licenced.
Skin care is a subset of cosmetology, which is regulated by most jurisdictions through licencing. Cosmetology classes are available in both public and private schools. Skin care education includes instrument usage and care, hygiene, fundamental anatomy and physiology, and the identification of specific skin disorders. It is critical to understand which skin concerns should be submitted to a health care physician.
Salons, spas, and department shops hire skin care professionals. They could also work as sales reps for cosmetic companies. As your experience grows, you may want to start your own firm or work as an examiner for a state licencing board. To be successful in this field, you must stay current on scientific breakthroughs and treatments, and you must like assisting others in looking their best.
