Thoughts from when I was an
Esthetician Student:

When I was in school as an esthetician
student, there was so much new
information to absorb. It was
overwhelming at times. I was an adult
student, and it seemed like it took me
twice as long to remember things than
when I was younger!

I was really excited to be learning
about esthetics and skin care. I wanted
to get my hands on as much
information as I could, and it really
paid off that I read a lot. I made sure to
stay current on trends, news, and other
happenings in the industry. The best
way to keep up is by reading trade
magazines. I subscribed to three
separate magazines, because I wasn't
sure which I would like the most.

If I could only subscribe to one, I'd
choose Les Nouvelles Estheitiques. Skin
Inc would probably be my second
choice, and then Dermascope.

If you'd like to keep current on the day
spa industry, then DaySpa and
American Spa are excellent choices.

One thing that helped me through
school is learning information in more
than one way. Whether you use
flashcards, or rewrite your notes, don't
just memorize things....understand
things!

FlashcardMachine.com is an excellent
site for making your own flashcards. I
still have many cards there!

Another aspect of learning is getting
hands on. When you're learning the
muscles and bones, get a partner, and
put your hands on the area, while
saying the name out loud. It will help
you really remember that information.

Learn as much as you can. You'll
learn a lot when you accept that
sometimes there is more than one way
to do something. Read, ready and
study! Stay current, trade magazines
are so helpful in that arena.
