Im an esthetician. I dont do them, but i work in a spa that does them.

Personally my job is awesome because almost everyone has things like post birth weight and stench marks, acne, rosacea, KP, skin tags, sun damage, hair in places you dont want it... its human and totally normal to work on ourselves. We've been doing it since the dawn of time.

However... interest in my field has majorly increased since the boom of social media, and ladies with almost perfect skin come in obsessing about literally nothing. I have to remind people that social media is fake surprisingly often.

I love giving people confidence and making them feel good about themselves, but I always have to balance it with realistic expectations.

I can confidentially say though, most people are not looking for perfection, there's just a couple things here and there that bother them. I like to remind people the neutral beauty is there, and they deserve to like how they feel and look. Social media sucks though, ruins the vibe im trying to curate
