While most of us view the spa or wellness retreat as a luxury, these add-ons are basically built into the routines of the rich and famous. Come award season ... or just another day, to be honest, the upside of influence and popularity is access to some of the swankiest digs the health and skin care industries have to offer.
And though we're all too familiar with a handful of A-list-approved aestheticians and dermatologists, such as Harold Lancer and Joanne Vargas, what really leaves us all starry-eyed and pining for a head-to-toe rubdown are the spas with luxurious facials and next-level skin treatments. Ahead are the most popular options.

 The content you publish. The voice you cultivate. The way you respond to customers. On social media, all these elements work in tandem to help you form a better relationship with your followers. The more customers develop a relationship and emotional connection with a company, the more they humanize you. Customers think of you less like a business that delivers a service and more like a friend who has a distinct personality and identity they connect with.

Preparing Yourself to Teach Advanced Classes
Presented by Judy Culp
About this webinar:
The field of esthetics is changing rapidly and constant updates are required. Schools offering training beyond the basic scope of practice are presented with teaching advanced modalities like exfoliation, microdermabrasion, facial toning, medi-spa technology, laser or IPL light therapy, alternative therapies and the list goes on.

This class will attempt to help you prepare for this challenge with confidence.
