Skin Care

Skin care specialists treat the skin to maintain and improve its appearance. This may involve giving facials, glycolic peels, and mud baths; performing aromatherapy; removing facial and body hair; and applying makeup, to name a few. Skin care specialists can find work in spas and salons, cruise ships, department stores, and more.

Some skin care specialists perform pre-and postoperative skin care under the direction of plastic surgeons and dermatologists. These medical estheticians provide treatments that prepare the skin for surgery and help the healing process, and use medical makeup to conceal redness and bruising from treatment.

Skin care specialists are experience a rapid increase in employment for several reasons. The massive baby boomer population is aging and seeking skin care services to forestall or hide the aging process.

Medical science and technology advances, which have resulted in treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, provide skin care specialists with more products and tools to improve the appearance of damaged or aging skin. These factors and more spur the demand for skin care services, which translates into excellent skin care career prospects for you.
