Does anyone else here definitely take a good look at the skin of your esthetician/ dermatologist /skincare consultant when they're working on you?
If I saw a ton of wrinkles and zits, I'd be pretty nervous. There must be a lot of pressure for them to keep their skin in great condition, because otherwise, they are sure to lose some business.
Here's one concern I have... and believe me, I know this sounds foolish as I'm writing it,m but hear me out. My eshetician has a daughter who does her paperwork/billing, etc. The daughter's skin is in bad shape -- zits, pockmarks, discoloration -- and every time I go in there, I do think at the back of my head "If you can't help your own daughter, how will you be able to help me?" I know this is sort of petty and mean to think about, but I think it also might be valid. Would you guys be concerned in a similar scenario? |

It´s funny you shoud mention it, because I actually had a funny experience when I started having a series of glycolic peels. There´s only one salon that uses MD Formulations close to me, and when I was checking it out, I noticed that one of the beauticians looked, well.. not so radiant.
Remembering the old story of the town that had two barbers, one poorly shaven and with a scruffy haircut, and one with perfect hair and shave, (which one would you go to?) I made my appointment with the not-so-perfect beautician. After all, she had to be great at her job if the glowing, pretty one had her do her facials.  |

| What's the story of the two barbers then? The scruff one did the other ones hair? |

| Yes I do agree, it's the same with slimming products, exercise equipment, if someone a little portly is selling them, then I think well if they're doing nothing for you, how are they going to help me?! Cruel, but true! |

Well, I don't know if I'd be so concernced because there could be many circumstances to consider, like perhaps the daughter isn't skin-conscious or doesn't take care of herself. Maybe she's sensitive about her skin and doesn't want to admit there's a problem, etc.
I had something kind of similar happen, though! I went to the spa shop in my town that sells Bare Escentuals as I wanted to get a few products, and the counter girl had horrible skin! Not only that, her bareminerlas were all cakey-- she was showing me the shade of eyeshadow she had on and it was all creased and yucky! And I know the bareminerals could have help cover her acne a bit better. I felt maybe I could've given her a makeover! (having said that, she was very nice and perhaps those products just aren't right for her but she uses them since she sells them) |

See, I buy that theory for hair cutters, because very few people can successfully cut their own hair.
But for facial skincare, you can easily take care of yourself.
One of the estheticians I've met even figured out how to do microderm on herself, which strikes me as kind of dangerous, but oh well, more power to her! |

Totally agree with what Violetanne said. The daughter is her own person and not "part" of her mother. She may have "issues".
I know of a lady who got into the skin care filed because her skin was sooo bad. She is now nationally known and teaches Derms how to do skin care. She still has acne scars and sometimes other "issues". |

Yeah I know that I should not take the daughter as a representation of this esthetician's work, but it's definitely a concern that (unfairly) popped into my head. I'm sure I'm not the first in that office to think it. I'm also sure this girl gets loads of free products, treatments, etc.
What confuses me is that this girl is on the path to become an licensed esthetician herself, currently earning her certificate. Which brings me back to the original topic of the thread -- if she does take that route and makes a full-time career of it, she's going to need to improve her skin just to bolster her credibility.
I know I'd have major self-esteem issues being an esthetician with bad skin...you have to know people are staring at your face. |
