Anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, antioxidant - there's a whole lot of "anti" words in our professional vocabulary. However, none are as potent, explanatory, descriptive, or as inclusive as anti-aging. What does it really mean to reverse the signs of aging and is it necessarily a good thing? In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella discuss types of aging, societal views, and esthetics role in anti-aging.

How often do you hear your clients say, "I have sensitive skin"? But what does that really mean, and is it a true skin condition? In this episode with Benjamin Knight Fuchs, R.Ph., we discuss skin as a sensory organ, its barrier function, and whether your clients truly have sensitive skin.

To learn more about treating clients with sensitive skin, read about this Gentle Giant, Mirabilis Jalapa extract, in ASCP's Skin Deep magazine. This tropical flowering herb can offer big relief for sensitive skin.
