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!

Christina from Clarisonic visited our class!  We love the clarisonic — it makes extractions much easier and it’s a great at-home tool (especially for congestion!) … did I mention it helps product penetration by 60%??? … and stimulates collagen production?? … now you know why we love it! 

These are the happy faces of Clarisonic users:)  (Don’t let the vines and dollheads in the background spook you)

Jenefer Palmer, the founder of Osea Skin in Malibu, recently visited our class and shared with us her funny and heartwarming stories about how she travels to Patagonia to get seaweed for her skincare products.  Students loved sampling her marine based products too!  We’re thinking we need to take a class trip to Patagonia!  Thank you Jenefer for all of the insight on what to look for when buying products!  I got a sample of the hydrating oil and I love it!  We are so fortunate to have amazing speakers and women like yourself share your wisdom!
