In this episode of The Skyn Distillery Lounge, Emily dives into a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough in the aesthetics industry—community over competition. As estheticians, it’s easy to fall into comparison, cliques, or that subtle “mean girl” energy that sometimes shows up in small industries. But the truth is, there is room for all of us. Every esthetician brings something unique to the table—from different specialties and philosophies to the energy and experience clients connect with. In this episode, Emily shares her perspective on what it truly means to be a community-minded esthetician and how small actions—like celebrating each other’s wins, referring out when something isn’t your specialty, sharing knowledge without gatekeeping, and choosing professional kindness—can elevate the entire profession. She also shares how The Skyn Distillery is intentionally working to create spaces where estheticians can connect, collaborate, and support one another, because when we show up for each other, we build a stronger, more respected industry for everyone.
