The word vitamin comes from the stems “vita,” meaning life, and “amine,” meaning amino acids. The name seems fitting when it feels like it takes an entire lifetime to master the ins and outs of seemingly singular letters like A, B, C, D, E, and K! 

Skin care professionals can introduce vitamins to the integumentary system to age gracefully, ward off sensitivity, provide lubrication, plasticize protective coating, and offset DNA destruction. We can also use them as adaptogens to remind skin of its natural regenerative abilities. Beyond having several options with mirrored benefits, the real complexity of vitamins lies in permeability, solubility, bioavailability, conversions, labeling accuracy, and understanding. One of the most important aspects of vitamins in skin care is delivery systems – that is, how the benefits of the vitamins actually get into skin. So how do we ensure efficacy as professional skin professionals? We vet our vitamins!  

THE VETTING PROCESS 

Permeability 

A great starting question to ask is do the topicals even cross the skin barrier? It seems 

like a basic question, but do you really know the answer? The stratum corneum (SC) actually lacks the vascularity that would allow for easy delivery of vitamins to the extracellular matrix. Whether intact, compromised, or obliterated, our barrier instinctually ensures external stimuli do not get internalized. If we picture the stratum corneum as an electric fence, the first step in getting vitamins to skin is to temporarily turn off its electrostatic abilities. 

Another revelation is that penetration and absorption are not necessarily interchangeable. Penetration typically refers to the integumentary system, skin’s canopy, and more superficial epidermal layers. For penetration of the epidermis, additives such as low molecular weighted hyaluronic acid (HA), linoleic acid, and certain kinds of alcohols act as vehicles, drivers, and delivery systems for better product drawdown. Undoubtedly, you’ve seen these additives in your skin care products; you maybe just didn’t know why they were present. Enhanced permeation is the reason vitamin C and E are often paired with ferulic acid. 

Absorption is used more when referencing the circulatory system and crossing the epidermal junction into the dermis and the bloodstream. Infiltrating this abyss is reserved for A+ elites, your handy dandy vitamin A. It is this depth dependency that has it considered as teratogenic for moms in the making. It achieves these depths because of its amazing skills within our next vetting process.

In the always-changing world of aesthetics, the skill of waxing is more than just removing body hair. It becomes an intricate art form that allows professionals to connect with clients and help them build their self-confidence. In this article, deep dive into the world of waxing, and learn everything from the fundamental principles to staying on top of the latest trends in the industry.

WAXING & AESTHETICS

Waxing is more than just applying wax and removing hair; it can be a huge component in the skin care professional’s tool kit. Beyond the immediate cosmetic benefits, waxing contributes to a profound sense of well-being and confidence for clients. Waxers serve as artists, sculpting not just the physical contours but also the emotional landscape of their clients through the transformative power of waxing. They hold the key to helping clients build positive self-images and find confidence within themselves. Clients trust their beauty professionals to provide them with quality services but also to create a safe, judgment-free environment at the same time. 

For professionals in the beauty industry who may not be drawn to offering facial services, discovering an enjoyment of waxing is like unlocking a secret superpower in the realm of aesthetics. It is not just another choice; it is a game changer that allows one’s skills to shine. Clients want more than just a basic wax. They want a professional who can make the experience personal and tailored to them. Waxing can put a professional in the position where they are providing a comprehensive aesthetic experience that boosts confidence. As the demand for specialized care keeps growing, those diving into the waxing game find themselves leading the pack in an industry that values skill, precision, and a personal touch.

Taylor Wilson is a licensed aesthetician hailing from the Washington Metropolitan area. She is a graduate of Von Lee International School of Esthetics, founded by the legendary Carole Walderman. She was wax trainer at a European Wax center and eventually transitioned into her own studio, JB Skin Clinic, full time where she provided waxing and skin revision treatments. Realizing she wanted to focus on education and helping other aestheticians reach their goals, she came on board to Starpil as their brand educator.
