Fearless Beauties is a movement organized by a group of estheticians who recognize that skin of color has been ignored or forgotten. This group of diverse estheticians have done the research on black skin of African descent, Asian American skin, Latin skin and East Indian skin and how it is different from Caucasian skin. In addition to introducing cultural and dietary influences that could affect skin health, their work includes information on how to conduct a thorough consultation with a person with multiethnic skin.

The claim that ‘everyone is beautiful’ needs to be validated by making services and products available to all ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds. We are all Americans. We need to recognize and legitimize that these subsets within our country may have differing views of what is beautiful, different standards for beauty and different ways of honoring and respecting that beauty. By developing a more inclusive viewpoint, we elevate our entire industry.
