ASCP Esty Talk

Globally, the men's skin care product market was valued at $11.6 billion (yes, with a "B") in 2019 and is expected to grow at least 6% each year from 2020 to 2027.

Join Ella and Maggie as they explore the topic of men's skin care and answer burning questions like:

What makes men's skin care different?

Where are they getting their products from? (The answers will surprise you)

What does the male client treatment plan look like?

How would one cater to that large and growing market?

About our Sponsor: NeoGenesis

Introducing the next generation of stem cell science for skin and hair care: NeoGenesis patented S²RM® technology. This exclusive technology harnesses the power of adult stem cell-released molecules to awaken your body's natural regenerative power. This natural approach to healing simply returns to the damaged tissue the molecules that were present when the skin was young and healthy. Because of what we are able to do with traumatic wound care—from accidents, burns, chemo, radiation, and more—we knew this science could also serve aging concerns and chronic issues. We also enhance the result of all treatment-room modalities, reduce downtime, and aid in resolving issues resulting from treatment modalities that did not go exactly as planned. There are no contraindications, and we offer a full money-back guarantee on our skin care products.

September is Self-Improvement Month, and as we settle in to loving our fixer-upper selves, we welcome back Sherrie Tennessee to discuss burning questions like:

What does self-improvement mean?

What is the difference between self-improvement and self-help?

Why do men write most self-help/self-improvement books, but women make up the majority of consumers who buy them?

Join us as we answer all these questions and candidly discuss our own self-improvement journeys (not exactly what you may expect) in this episode of ASCP Esty Talk.

What makes a chemical peel "medical"? Is it the results it yields, the depth it penetrates, or extremely effective marketing? "I just want to peel, like a snake, to shed all these wrinkles, age spots, and dull, lackluster skin!" We have all heard this (and maybe we think this) but is it true? Is sheet peeling the only indication of positive changes in the skin? Or is it a sign of too much exfoliation? Join Ella and Maggie as they discuss their (unpopular) opinions on medical peels, managing client expectations, and evaluating when too much is . . . too much!

Makeup: We all have our favorite brands, those we trust to make us look good and feel better (pretty), but what may be hiding in those lipsticks? What ingredients make up the sexy shimmery nude eye shadow? What about the smell of your favorite bronzer? And does where we purchase our favorite brands from make a difference? In the return of the "EWW GROSS! Not on my face!" series, we welcome return guest and makeup maven Kat DeJesus to discuss creepy ingredients (and products) that should be avoided and perhaps a perspective on other, previously black listed ones.

About Kat DeJesus:

With over 20+ years as a professional makeup artist, Kat DeJesus' experience has taught her that within this art lies the science of professionally applied makeup. Understanding the geometry of a face, the arch of a brow, the texture of the skin and the colors that highlight a person's natural features are the specific skills that she brings to each set and occasion. Born in Colorado then raised in Chicago, She has a unique approach to style and makeup that is enriched by her diverse experience and the cultural references she encounters everyday as well as being a licensed esthetician. This appreciation for diversity and zest for knowledge keeps her on the forefront of beauty trends and highly sought after for creative partnerships. Highly acclaimed for her professionalism and skill on high fashion photo shoots, music videos, store ads, commercials, and television shows, however, it is her genuine ability to connect with people that leaves a lasting impression. She is also bringing all that knowledge into the educational side of things and sharing her experience as an esthetics educator at School of Botanical and Medical Aesthetics in downtown Denver.

We all know the general boxed skin type classifications: Aging, Dry/Dehydrated, Rosacea/Sensitive, Combination, and of course Acne/Oily. But is that fair? Is that accurate? Is acne always an oil overproduction issue, or are there other causes and approaches we should be aware of? In this episode, Ella and Maggie discuss acne by definition, by type, and by trigger to broach an alternative way of treating one troublesome condition.

2020 began with an intention of bringing clear vision. Many innocently started January 1, 2020, with a play on words (or numbers): "This is my year! Bring on the 2020 vision!" Who would have guessed what would unfold a few months later would knock us off our comfortable, familiar axis? Perhaps the clarity we thought we were going to receive is not lost, but was instead redefined as another familiar word: wellness. August is National Wellness Month, and who better to discuss wellness than the 2020 ASCP Esty of the Year, Jessica Brock. In this episode we discuss wellness—not just in fancy spa-esque weekend getaway terms, but how wellness can be defined in professional and personal ways, and how the harmony of the two is vital.

About NMSWP

Meet Toshiana Baker, the founder of NMSWP.

Toshiana is a licensed esthetician who grew into an international educator, traveling globally to facilitate spa and beauty-related programs she created. At one time, she led a team of 250+ estheticians nationally as the director of esthetics for an iconic luxury spa chain with over 30 locations. She was also the regional operations director of four full-service spa/salons, including two inside Saks Fifth Avenue, and the education executive for the iconic brow artistry brand Anastasia Beverly Hills.

About NeoGenesis

Introducing the next generation of stem cell science for skin and hair care: NeoGenesis patented S²RM® technology. This exclusive technology harnesses the power of adult stem cell-released molecules to awaken your body's natural regenerative power. This natural approach to healing simply returns to the damaged tissue the molecules that were present when the skin was young and healthy. Because of what we are able to do with traumatic wound care—from accidents, burns, chemo, radiation, and more—we knew this science could also serve aging concerns and chronic issues. We also enhance the result of all treatment-room modalities, reduce downtime, and aid in resolving issues resulting from treatment modalities that did not go exactly as planned. There are no contraindications, and we offer a full money-back guarantee on our skin care products.

Beauty Changes Lives, a nonprofit founded in 2013, is geared to equip and empower the next generation of beauty professionals, including estheticians. In today's episode of ASCP Esty Talk we are joined by Beauty Changes Lives founder Lynelle Lynch to discuss how she's engaged many of the skin care industry's elite brands and influencers to support esthetic and spa education.

Innovator. Trailblazer. Disruptor of the status quo. Bellus Academy owner Lynelle Lynch has fearlessly redefined beauty education in America. Within a decade of taking the leadership reins at Bellus Academy, Lynelle led her team to become North America's number-one beauty academy according to Intercoiffure. Bellus has since emerged as a destination academy attracting students from around the globe.

As an advocate for education, humanitarian service, and the professional beauty industry, Lynelle's record of accomplishments continues to grow. Bellus Academy has been honored with multiple Excellence in Education Awards presented by Modern Salon and was the first beauty school in the US to offer the prestigious CIDESCO Skincare certificate. Along the way, Lynelle's passion for humanitarian leadership earned Bellus Academy recognition as America's first school to offer the Wellness for Cancer credential and two consecutive Excellence in Community Service Awards, California's highest honor for community service in the education sector. She is also the founder of Beauty Changes Lives, a nonprofit designed to equip and empower beauty professionals.

Summer burnout or FOMO? As esthetic professionals, many of us were initially excited and encouraged about returning to work post-pandemic. We adjusted many aspects of our businesses—masks, new cleaning protocols, longer appointment times, a more forgiving cancellation policy, etc.

But now, just as the rest of the country is setting new travel records going everywhere (or anywhere) here we are, stuck in our treatment rooms every weekend!

Are we burnt out on many levels, or are we suffering from fear of missing out? If it's the former for you, you are not alone! A 2020 study found that 76 percent of US workers admit to feeling burnout, with 3 percent citing COVID-19 stressors as a contributor.

In this episode, we discuss what burnout looks like in our industry and share some tools to keep your passion fires burning by protecting from a few triggers.

It's National CBD Day! Today we celebrate three little letters that have had a huge impact on cannabis acceptance. There is so much to learn and, in some cases, so much to un-learn about this popular ingredient. In this podcast we review what CBD is, and explore five things CBD is NOT!

CBD is not:

1. Plural
2. An oil
3. Illicit
4. A loner
5. A novelty/gimmick
