How to Become an Esthetician

If you enjoy watching Dr. Pimple Popper videos, learning about skin care, or helping others with their skin, then becoming an Esthetician may be the perfect career move for you. In order to start your journey of becoming an esthetician you will need to do a few things like getting your cosmetology degree and undergoing 260-700 hours of training at an accredited school. While this may seem like a lot of work, you will learn the basics of what you need to know so that you are better prepared to face a real client with real needs.

Not only will you perform these services, but you are also expected to interact with your clients and make recommendations on skin care products and procedures. After...

What's the Deal with Chemical Peels?

We all want younger, smoother looking skin, and it used to be so hard to achieve, until now. Now, this treatment may sound way scarier than it is, but a chemical peel is not as bad as it sounds. It is a vital part of skin treatment, helping to reduce skin discoloration, fade scars, treat wrinkles, and even more. The biggest questions now are what a chemical peel is, and how do you include this in your skin care routine. Well, let us talk about the basics. A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure where a qualified esthetician applies a chemical solution to someone's skin to remove the top layers. The skin that ends up growing back will be smoother, younger, and overall healthier. There are three different types of peels available, all with a different mission. The three most common types of peels are based on depths, light, medium, and deep which all use different chemicals that will give you a different outcome. A light chemical peel (the superficial chemical peel) remov...

Why You Should Use SPF Everyday

We have all heard "put sunscreen on or you'll regret it later", but we are never really told how much to put on and how often. Usually you show up to the pool, slather yourself up and jump right in, spending your whole time in the water. But do you need to put it on more than once, and even if its an overcast day where no sun is peaking through the clouds? The answer is yes, and we are going to explain why. Sunscreen is crucial when it comes to skincare. It is the one thing that is keeping you from soaking in all of the harmful UV rays that are being poured onto you by the sun, and when used regularly it helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging. Even so, there are a lot of misconceptions about how we are supposed to use sunscreen. At Fairlawn Aesthetics we thought we would help explain how to properly use SPF so that you can keep your skin looking refreshed and healthy. While no sunscreen is completely 100 percent UV proof, it is very important to know...

Should You See a Dermatologist for Sun Spots?

It's a well-known fact that the sun can cause many types of damage to the skin, including sunburns and wrinkles. But perhaps the most common cosmetic damage that occurs are sunspots. Sunspots are flat brown spots that usually show up on the face, neck, chest or hands. Typically, sunspots are harmless and don't pose much of a health risk. One of the main reasons people remove sunspots is purely for cosmetic purposes. With that said, do be mindful of the differences between a sunspot and signs of skin cancer caused by the sun. Melanoma is the most high profile case of skin cancer and early signs of melanoma are a new mole or changing the characteristics of an existing mole. These include a change in size, itching or bleeding. If you experience any spot on the skin that is rapidly changing size or shape should be seen by a dermatologist. If you have sunspots and just can't bare to live with them any longer, dermatologists can prescribe retinols or other creams that will...
