Congratulations Denae on Graduating and Passing Stateboards!  You’re an amazing esthetician and makeup artist!

Michelle and Kendall practice!

Tiffany — soon to be graduate and esthetician, posed “silly senior portrait” style!

Amanda and Potjanee — these faces remind me that this is an amazing field!

Well, despite me missing the bus for the Dermalogica Fieldtrip, I was able to hop in my car and drive to Carson to catch up with the students going to Dermalogica. We always love the fieldtrips to Dermalogica as the trainers are so friendly and knowledgeable! We learned about body treatments and protocol for acne clients.

What a fun write-up by SBCC student Jessica (who also indulged in a facial the night of her research … and yes, that was part of her research!:) Thank you for recognizing our students in the Esthetician Program! Click here to read the article!

Dr. Aguilar, founder of DNA Skin, recently presented to the class on how what we eat (and don’t eat) has an impact on our skin. Dr. A specifically talked about the “evils” of what what eat — sugar, dairy and wheat, all of which are inflammatory foods. For acne clients especially, these foods will “feed” the breakout. Dr. Aguilar also pointed out that although nuts are a good food, seeds are even better and he shared a seed and pineapple juice recipe that students have already tried! Dr. A brought along an assistant — his 11 year old son Nico, who I’m pretty certain, took a biochemistry class in kindergarden — he confidently chimed in and answered the (college) student questions! Thank you Dr. Aguilar and Nico for sharing your humor and wisdom with the esthetician class — we really appreciate it! (Oh, and now, students confess to me nightly their “eating sins” for the day, following up the confession with “Don’t tell Dr. Aguilar I’m eating this!”
