One of the greatest aspects of the esthetics industry is the constant change and the evolution that continues with new styles, trends, treatments, and products.
With Covid-19 restrictions in the rear-view mirror (hopefully), the industry is poised to come together again with the return of tradeshows, more spa education classes and opportunities to continue learning.
Here's a short list of a few we recommend:
Tradeshows:
The Face & Body Skincare Show, San Jose, California (August 21-22, 2022) - returns after more than 2 years. Known for high level education, they bring the best minds in spa education and to celebrate the differences that make this industry great. The theme is Shades of Beauty, and the advanced education will reflect the spa that's prepared to treat all clientele - with topics on spa management, skin science, treatments and wellness.
Registration is open - and there are so many reasons you'll want to attend.

The perfect podcast for skincare professionals who want to learn more about how to make it in the industry, hear from industry leaders, hear one-on-one interviews from skincare brand creators and so much more. With a new featured guest every episode, this podcast has it all for skincare pros who want to go further than skin deep! New episodes monthly on Thursday.
Available wherever you subscribe to podcasts:
Simran Sethi, MD, MBA, the CEO, founder and medical director of RenewMD Beauty & Wellness medical spas, has launched an educational podcast—The Skin Report with Dr. Simran Sethi—that aims to educate individuals interested in skin care and overall health.
If you know anything about skincare, you know that products are often formulated to address specific concerns, with labels advertising treatment descriptions like “for dry skin,” “for acne-prone skin,” and “for mature skin.” But why is it that the beauty industry rarely addresses the individual skin care needs of women of color? As it turns out, ethnicity plays a significant role in determining the best skin care treatments for different people.
The Skin Report is a new podcast aimed to shed light on how skin care practices can improve skin health for people of every ethnicity. In this first episode, host Dr. Simran Sethi discusses the skincare industry, its history and practices, and how the Skin Report podcast aims to educate listeners and improve skincare inclusivity for women of color.
New episodes will release every Wednesday; available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, Player FM, Deezer Stitcher, Radio Republic, TuneIn, and Pocket Casts, Gaana and JioSaavn.
