Anyone who has chosen to pursue a career in the skin care industry will most likely not be disappointed. This specialized industry has enjoyed steady gains even during a crippling recession and is a safe and rewarding career path. Many men and women possess a strong love for the esthetic arts and are wondering what opportunities are out there. This article will review several options available to those ready to pursue a career in the skin care industry, whether they are licensed as an esthetician or not.

First and foremost, most positions described here do not require the applicant to be licensed as an esthetician but having the license will help the applicant to stand out from the crowd and will communicate to the employer that the applicant has completed 600 hours of esthetician work as part of their training.

For those interested in the medical side of the skin care industry, there are positions in dermatologist and doctors' offices for medical estheticians. Medical estheticians work under the supervision of the doctor to perform treatments such as applying camouflage makeup, educating the patient, pre and post operative treatments, sales, medical-grade facials and treatments such as microderm abrasion.

Individuals with a more creative flair may find their calling as makeup artists who may work for specific brands or on their own terms as freelance artists. Similar opportunities include sales positions and brand representatives. Both of these types of jobs require a wealth of knowledge about different products and can be extremely rewarding.

Esthetic hopefuls can rest easy knowing that there are thousands of open positions out there for knowledgeable and dedicated talent. The quick growth of the skin care industry has created a shortage of skilled professionals. Those wishing to follow a career path in skin care, whether it be medical or personal, will find no shortage of availabilities.
