Inside this issue, you’ll find advanced education written specifically for estheticians who are ready to level up their protocols. From acid stacking vs. single-acid approaches, to building treatment series that work in harmony with the skin's natural rhythm, we cover it all. We also take a hard look at the intersection between exfoliation and microbiome health, and what it really means to treat skin of color with intention, safety, and cultural competence.
To complement the education, our Prime & Polish photoshoot highlights the season’s best exfoliating products for both face and body. Think lush body polishes, skin-smoothing pads, and enzyme-rich formulas that deliver that radiant post-treatment glow. Whether you’re creating spa-worthy rituals or retailing client-friendly exfoliants, we’ve curated this visual guide with both esthetic value and efficacy in mind.
