A career in esthetics can be incredibly gratifying and innovative. Professionals working in esthetician jobs are licensed skin care specialists trained to apply treatments and perform procedures that promote the health and beauty of the skin. There are plenty of opportunities for progression into specialized fields such as medical esthetics, spa therapy, and makeup artistry. If you have a passion for helping others feel confident, and thrive on continuous learning, a job as an esthetician could be your perfect match.

The overall employment of estheticians and skin specialists is forecast to grow 29% over the next decade, which is faster than the average for all occupations. This is, in part, due to the increase in luxury spas and an aging population.

The role of an esthetician involves using their knowledge of skin conditions to improve the overall appearance of their client's skin. You might use natural ingredients, chemicals, and special equipment to administer therapies and treatments such as facials, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, light therapy, microdermabrasion, and scrubs.

Some typical duties of an esthetician include:

• evaluating clients' skin and offering recommendations for treatments
• maintaining a sanitary environment for procedures
• providing facial, hair removal, and acne treatments
• performing massages on the face and scalp
• applying face and body masks, wraps, and scrubs

About Working in Los Angeles, California

The Hollywood sign stands for everything glamourous and star-studded in Los Angeles. But did you know it was built in the 1920s to advertise a new neighborhood called Hollywoodland? The "land" was eventually dropped from the sign in 1949, and it became associated with nearby Paramount Pictures, Universal, and Warner Brothers. Today, downtown L.A. is the largest government hub outside of Washington D.C. and has the largest historical theater district in the U.S. But not all Los Angeles jobs are in show business. More than 700,000 health services and biomedical jobs and 190,000 aerospace jobs stoke L.A.'s economy.

If L.A. were a country, the city's economy would be bigger than those of Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and Sweden. Los Angeles is a sprawling metropolis, engulfing five counties—Los Angeles, Riverside, Ventura, Orange, and San Bernardino. If you're looking for jobs in Los Angeles, you have a lot of choices for relocation. There are more than 80 neighborhoods in L.A. and 16 districts just in downtown.
