In this episode of The Skinstructors, Morgan and Joely dive into histology, breaking down how understanding the skin at a cellular level transforms the way estheticians approach treatments. As part of the Back to Basics series, this episode explains the layers of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, and connects microscopic skin structure to real-world concerns like inflammation, pigmentation, aging, barrier dysfunction, and skin reactivity. By exploring how keratinocytes, collagen, elastin, and the skin barrier function together, listeners learn why clients with the same concern can respond very differently to treatment. This episode is essential for estheticians and skincare professionals looking to stop guessing, avoid over-treating, and create smarter, more customized treatment plans using true skin science. Takeaways:

• Understanding histology helps estheticians identify which skin layers are involved in concerns like aging, acne, pigmentation, and inflammation.
• Skin reactions, healing time, and sensitivity are often determined by the skin's cellular state, not just products or protocols.
• Knowing the microscopic structure of the skin allows professionals to choose smarter, more customized treatments instead of stronger ones.
