With summer nearing its end, most people naturally begin to look to the coming season of change. Whether it is the weather, trends, or routines, it is comforting to know that the only guaranteed thing is change. Clients dealing with sensitized skin and compromised barriers can find comfort in this fact as well. They may be frustrated with their skin condition, ready to see results, and skin care professionals can guide them every step of the way. As readers know, the journey will be nothing less than complex, but with this latest issue of DERMASCOPE by their sides, they rest reassured that there is always more information ready to be of service.  

Beginning with the first article for this theme, readers can dive into “Cleaning House,” an article written by Alexandria Professional’s Lina Kennedy. This article discusses the loose definition of clean beauty. As skin care professionals know, clients with sensitized skin can benefit from simple, “clean” formulations, but because this term does not have black and white guidelines, product selections can get confusing. Learn about what should be considered in this must-read.  

The featured primary education article for the month comes from none other than our lead in-house aesthetician, Elizabeth Brasher. An author very close to home, read her article “Compromised Complexions” to better understand impaired skin barriers, what to look for, and how to help. 

Closing with a special topic of aesthetic care for oncology clients, Becky Kuehn of Oncology Spa Solutions brings readers, “Accessible Aesthetics.” From a brief history of oncology aesthetics to selecting the right oncology training for success, do not skip this article written by an industry pioneer.  

In addition to all the fabulous education this issue includes, readers can flip to the pages of The A-List of 2022. After many nominations from readers and followers, this year’s list of industry professionals was curated from the cream of the crop – professionals that are changing the very face of the aesthetics world. With so much beauty brilliance and education in one issue, it is no wonder DERMASCOPE continues to be the authority on professional skin care.
