Consumers are starting to use technology in their skincare. Examples are AI skin analysis, at-home beauty devices, and mobile apps for tracking skincare routines and progress. We believe this makes the professional Esthetician all the more valuable in helping people understand these apps, terminology and solutions for their skincare needs.

A “holistic” approach to wellness is about treating the WHOLE person versus the separate parts. Incorporating holistic approaches, such as combining skincare with nutrition advice, stress management, and lifestyle changes for overall well-being.
