Please Stop Product Shaming
Can we please stop the trend of product shaming potential clients on social media. It is giving professional estheticians a very bad look. If I am not a huge fan of the products my clients are using, I provide education, helpful resources, and a roadmap to get us to a meaningful end goal. Estheticians should be talking to their guest, listening to their product journey, and practicing kindness, caring, and understanding. That means NO PRODUCT SHAMING!

Eating for Beauty: Raw Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake
Eating for beauty is as good as it gets. One cannot expect to have glowing, radiant, luminous skin simply by using products and a little “moisturizer magic”.
