The New Ideal in Skin Health: Separating Fact from Fiction

The doctor I work with and I spent most of 2009 writing a textbook together, so I wasn’t able to devote much time to my blog last year.  It was a wonderful collaboration that wouldn’t have happened without Carl Thornfeldt, I, and my supremely talented, level-headed and supportive co-worker, Trish Stack. I am so grateful to have been involved with this incredible opportunity and to be able to share my knowledge and experiences.  Practicing esthetics is my passion, and publishing a book has always been a lifelong dream of mine.

Our book, entitled, “The New Ideal in Skin Health: Separating Fact from Fiction” is dedicated to those of you involved in the professional skin care arena who desire an education beyond what you have learned in the esthetic classroom.  This takes your knowledge further than 600 hours of esthetic training, or a weekend with a laser representative.  Whether you are a medical professional who is beginning to explore a new direction or an esthetician looking for new opportunities, this book is your resource to help you make the best choices in our industry.  Topics covered include:

• Dispelling myths about products, ingredients and skin biology
• Assisting professionals to make the best decisions based on real science
• Advice to help build your business in volume and patient loyalty

We provide excellent foundational knowledge that will help guide any skin care professional throughout their entire career.

Now that our book has been released, my goal for 2010 is to get back on the blog track to share concise, important skin care information with you, as often as possible.
