To be true experts in skin, we need to be science-informed - not brand-informed. We seek to make our education unbiased, factual and free of marketing language. It's why we focus on ingredient knowledge vs product knowledge - in HUGE contrast to the majority of the brand-created or sponsored training provided in our industry. That being said, to be experts in professional skin care and provide our student's clients with effective treatment journey plans, we need to be knowledgeable about industry brands.
