In general, people associate esthetics exclusively with cosmetology without realizing that esthetics is actually a world all of its own. While cosmetologists do learn skincare basics, esthetics dives deeply into the overall health and care of skin. If you have an interest in makeup, skincare, and helping others embrace their natural beauty, this blog post will provide you with an insightful journey into the world of esthetics.

What Exactly is Esthetics?

Esthetics is a specialized branch of the beauty industry dedicated to improving and maintaining the health and appearance of the skin. They work closely with clients, offering personalized consultations and recommending suitable treatments based on individual skin concerns and goals.
