I am lucky to be blessed with genetically good skin. Like
my mother's and grandmother's, it's pretty darn smooth,
even though I am of an age where a few lines would be
perfectly acceptable.
That's not to say I am complacent
when it comes to my skin care
regimen. I wear sunscreen every day
and use quality products.
But I must admit I don't see
an esthetician on a regular basis.
Facials and skin care treatments have
always been special treats for me—
something I do to celebrate a big
occasion or to make myself feel better
on a bad day. You'll be happy to hear
that your new ASCP Skin Deep editor
is ready to change her ways.
Between reading back issues of
ASCP Skin Deep in preparation for this new gig and accepting the fact that I
am of that, ahem, certain age, I fully understand it's time to get serious about
fi nding a local skin care professional (who is an ASCP member, of course)
and scheduling regular appointments.
Speaking of appointments, how are yours? Is your calendar fi lled for the
next few months? If things aren't as busy as you'd like, we offer two articles
in this issue that are loaded with unique tips and practical advice for fi lling
those time slots: In "A Cure for the Summertime Blues," Felicia Brown offers
ways to take advantage of downtime to clean house and invigorate your client
list, and Patti Biro shares her thoughts on how to freshen up your offerings
in "What's on Your Menu?" And these are just the beginnings of the valuable
information in this jam-packed issue.
It is an honor to take the editorial helm of ASCP Skin Deep. I can't wait
to meet you at industry shows, via email (yes, please write to me at
mabel@ascpskincare.com), and through this incredible association.
Cheers,
Mary Barthelme Abel
