4 Things Your Esthetician Wish You Knew
By: Casey Harding-Brown
4 THINGS YOU'RE ESTY WISH YOU KNEW:
Double Cleanse your skin at night
Yes- you heard that right! The first cleanse is for breaking down all the build-up from the day (make-up, dirt, environmental toxins, etc). Take a good 30 seconds to let the cleanser do its job. The 2nd cleanse removes impurities and will clean the pores much more deeply!
All ingredients are NOT created equal!
Cheap products are not necessarily poor quality and expensive ingredients are not necessarily high quality. Skincare is a $2B industry, so there is a lot of marketing to get consumers to buy products. Always consult your esthetician for recommended products that fit your budget!

Estheticians are here to listen to your concerns - not judge your skin!
A good esthetician will listen to your concerns and help you meet those goals. Many clients come to me looking for me to “fix their skin for them.” We are all our own worst critics, right?!
A good esthetician wants to hear what your biggest concerns are. For example, a client may have some forehead lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring and lines around their lips, but the only thing that really bothers them may be the hyperpigmentation, while for another client it may be the acne scarring. My clients’ biggest concerns are their top three concerns to start with.
Don't forget about your neck, decolletage & hands!
I know so many women who have amazing faces and look 10 years younger...but then you take a look at their neck, decolletage & hands - it gives away their age! Your serums and SPF need to share the love with the other important parts of your body.
