The claim that everyone is beautiful is professed loudly and frequently by cosmetic brands, however, itshould be validated by making services, treatments, and products available to all ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds. As Americans, we need to recognize and legitimize that minorities within our country may have different standards for beauty and different ways of honoring and respecting that beauty. Fearless Beauties, Treating Skin of Color with Confidence is a movement to change the industry’s standards by offering education on treating Asian, East Indian, Latinx, Black skin of African descent, and more. In this class we will have an introduction to Asian, East Indian, Latinx and black skin. How is it structurally different from Caucasian skin? How do diseases and disorders present differently? What cultural knowledge will help you in a consultation? What treatments should you avoid and how should you approach skin of color?
