SKIN CARE SPECIALTY

600 Training Hours

How would you like to go to work every day and help others look and feel great? How would you like to interact with different types of people from different backgrounds and helping them to rejuvenate not only their skin but their whole attitude?
Increasing demand for people wanting younger-looking skin has turned esthetics into a fast growing and well-respected profession.
A Skin Care Specialist career involves beautifying the skin in a variety of ways, including analyzing the skin, performing facials, doing microdermabrasion treatments, waxing facial and body hair, extractions and exfoliations and recommending skin care regiments to clientele. The esthetics field also often involves luxury spa elements for the rest of the body, including body wraps and polishes, aromatherapy, foot reflexology, eyebrow shaping and eyelash extensions.

To be effective in your job as a Skin Care Specialist you need to have the following imperative qualities:
  • Have finger dexterity
  • Possess a sense of form and artistry
  • Enjoy dealing with the public
  • Be able to communicate well in order to establish, build and maintain a trusting relationship with each client

  • Keep up to date on the latest esthetic techniques and technological innovations
  • Work long hours while building a personal clientele in order to earn your desired income
  • Make a strong commitment to the educational process
  • Learn the skills necessary to operate a personal business

HOW CAN I BECOME A SKIN CARE SPECIALIST?

In the State of New Jersey you are required to be at least 17 years of age, provide a proof of completion of high school or its GED equivalent and complete 600 hours of instruction training at an approved cosmetology school before you can take a licensing examination administered by the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling and receive your SKIN CARE SPECIALIST license.
