Esthiology Program Overview
Skincare and Health
Good skincare is not only important to your appearance, but also to your health. In fact, your skin is the largest organ in your body, serving as a protector from germs, harmful UV rays and other intruders. And just as it protects us, we need to protect it. Esthiology plays a key role in helping us look and feel our very best. Plus, a little pampering never hurt anyone either!
Facials are one of the many skills our esthiology training program students learn.
A Confident Appearance
A clear and glowing complexion can go a long way in boosting a person’s confidence. If you are looking for the right esthetician educational courses, your search ends with the esthiology training program at Minnesota School of Cosmetology. Through MSC’s esthetician training courses, you will gain a solid foundation in the anatomy, physiology and chemistry of the skin so you can provide individualized care for each of your clients based on their skin type, conditions and concerns. Through our esthiology training program, you will also lean a variety of techniques to give the skin a great finishing look, including various make up applications and waxing services.
