About the course

Skin Science is the foundational course every beauty professional should have before offering advanced treatments. It goes beyond memorizing protocols and teaches you how the skin actually functions — so you can make informed decisions, work responsibly, and understand the why behind every service you perform. Designed specifically for beauty professionals without a medical background, this course breaks down complex skin concepts in a clear, practical way. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of skin structure, function, healing, and response to treatment — helping you deliver safer services, improve client outcomes, and build long-term trust. This is the knowledge that elevates your confidence, protects your clients, and supports a sustainable beauty career. Because technique isn’t enough — understanding is everything.

"Being taught esthetics by Carmel was truly a life-changing experience for me. From the very first day, she made me feel seen, supported, and capable of so much more than I ever realized. Her kindness, patience, and genuine belief in her students created a safe space where learning felt exciting instead of intimidating. Carmel didn’t just teach me skills — she helped me find confidence in myself. She explained everything with such care, always making sure I understood not only the technique but the “why” behind it. Anytime I doubted myself, she was right there reminding me that I could do it, and that encouragement meant more than she’ll ever know. Her passion for the industry shines through in every lesson, and it inspired me to fall in love with the work even more. I’m walking away not just with knowledge, but with pride in what I can do — and that’s because of her. I’m deeply grateful for Carmel and the impact she’s had on my journey. She is truly an exceptional instructor and an even more exceptional human being."

Her ability to explain complex topics— whether it was lasers, facials, skin anatomy, or any part of the aesthetics field-made everything easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. Carmel teaches with so much clarity, patience, and passion. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and wants each of us to feel confident and prepared. Her warm personality and supportive way of teaching created an environment where I always felt comfortable asking questions and growing in my skills. She didn’t just teach the material; she made sure we understood it deeply and could apply it in real situations. Her guidance, encouragement, and expertise truly made a difference in my learning experience. I feel blessed to have been taught by someone so knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated. Carmel is an amazing teacher, and I’m thankful for everything she poured into her classes and into us as students."
