[@anaharvey9250]

Tess Zolly I’m super interested in esthetics and am planning to begin schooling soon! I am wanting to up my skincare game and thought about trying the legendary dermaplus products. Are they really worth it? What’s your honest review or the cleanser/toner/serums? Thanks ❤️ love your vids

[@AmiraKa]

[@karenizaguirre7268]

Tess, thank you for this and all the videos you make . I love how knowledgeable you are in skin care. I myself am in school for esthetics but soon to be graduating in less than two months. I’m so excited, and you are what inspired me to start this career choice. I love going to school and how much I’m learning from it. I’m glad i made the choice to do this and it’s thanks to you. Love you girl!!! ❤️

[@TessZolly]

Karen Izaguirre wow, I’m speechless from that comment- Thank you! Can’t express how grateful I am for you and how excited I am for your new path.. I truly hope you love it and follow your heart. All my love.

Argan oil is a good moisturizer. So is black seed oil.

[@TessZolly]

guitarhero760 there’s no water in oil, it’s an occlusive

[@guitarhero760]

@@TessZolly lol it's a well known fact argan oil is one of the best moisturizers out there. I guess youd rather your clients pay for expensive professional serums and moisturizers than just using argan oil as a moisturizer. Natural way is best way anyway.

[@guitarhero760]

@@TessZolly argan oil penetrates the skin it doesnt sit on top of the skin and coat it like silicones.

You are so knowledgeable! I start esthetician school in may and i am so excited!!!❤️

[@andreaangel9763]

your videos are actually so helpful 😭im in esty school and im a few weeks away from being able to take clients and it’s making me extremely nervous. Tips on communication & how to not feel awkward when meeting a new client would be super helpful 💕

[@TessZolly]

Andrea Angel you are truly an angel! My advice is to breathe, focus on your breath and actually listen to what they’re saying before responding. Don’t try to think of how you’ll respond ahead of time, just be yourself and respond naturally. You really start to build the best relationships when you can be yourself. ❤️I have some advice toward the end of this video! Xo

[@andreaangel9763]

Tess Zolly thank you so much for responding😭💙 I just don’t want my clients to think i’m not genuine when i’m speaking to them or recommending them skin care products. I don’t want them to think that I am just trying to make money off of them, because it’s actually about helping them achieve their skin care goals.

[@babyem7355]

You’re so knowledgeable, love your videos! I’m saving now for esthetician school the commute is 1hr 45mins to the closest school but I’m determined to start spring semester!

[@TessZolly]

Luh Bih that’s some dedication. I’m wishing you the best experience.

Tess Zolly thank you love!

I do agree that people many times want the cheap product without looking at what it does for the skin, however I've seen MANY brands that can only be bought at pharmacies, offered by estheticians to my sister and are quality brand that have fragrance in them and sometimes even drying alcohol. I personally am someone who has to do intense research of ingredients because of my acne-prone HIGHLY sensitive skin (I have to use PHA instead of any AHA's, can't use niacinamide or centella asiatica and even high percentages of hyaluronic acid can irritate my skin), and in general I've noticed western brands are just lacking with affordable skincare without irritants or bad ingredients. Every product I use is mostly asian, fragrance free always, never even had a product with sls because they don't exist outside of shampoos, no bad alcohols etc. And I also noticed a lot of these professional grade brands so to speak, rarely can I even find their ingredient lists of their products which to me is a very important part to know before buying a product. So although the general consensus I agree, there are definitely affordable brands out there that have amazing ingredients in them and are developed well, especially non-western ones, so maybe you could look into some affordable brands to recommend to patients who really don't wanna spend money. Even though it might hurt, it's still better then letting them use eucerin :)

[@nicole.m_official]

CeraVe and Eucerin are pretty mild/gentle affordable drugstore skincare in my experience :)

[@remiebuck6922]

Nicole M. Jiménez Rosario Vanicream gentle cleanser is great for hypersensitive skin as will.

[@michelletrier8951]

I agree. I love CeraVe and I can afford the more expensive lines but I always go back to CeraVe. Also, Neutrogena is a billion dollar company therefore they can afford to do the R & D and they are a very competent line.

[@JessicaMartinez-jp9bg]

I use to have cystic acne on my forehead and cheeks due to drinking milk and ALOT OF STRESS from high school then After high school I was stress free and I cut off milk but I do get some acne a once in a blue moon like a cystic on lower side of my cheek near my mustache and lip area would you recommend dermalogica or Mario badescu

[@TessZolly]

Jessica Martinez I do not recommend Mario badescu due to the ingredients and alcohols used. Dermalogica is professional grade and I would say a better option! I’m biased but dermaplus is my fave :)

[@JessicaMartinez-jp9bg]

Tess Zolly thanks :)

[@mikaylaneff6647]

The Ordinary is a really good budget brand! I dont know if they sell it at the drug store??? But I know makeup stores sell it.

[@EmilyCarter-sj7in]

[@TessZolly]

[@briii96]

Tess Zolly thanks so much! I was way off lol I kept googling catheinol 😂

[@TessZolly]

briii96 hahah awww ❤️ love you for that

[@alwaysamazed8175]

Collagen also helps to heal wounds. Its considered a protein & its great for your skin, joints & digestive system.

[@laurenc7035]

What about Honest Beauty sold at Target?

[@TessZolly]

Lauren C hi! I just don’t recommend anything that’s not professional grade. It might be a clean line- I’m not sure! But I wouldn’t expect to get any significant results as there’s no good percentage of active ingredients.

[@allthatandmore11]

Have you tried any products by Eminence? I’m very interested in their line!! The products are so natural you can eat them. Love your video I seriously am obsessed with you 😍

[@TessZolly]

k8lyn hi sweet girl! Missed ya. Okay so I’ve been hearing very mixed things about Eminence- good to the environment, expensive but short shelf life, huge line, some say it’s kind of average results or only best for people without major issues... a really great resource is the FB group esthetician connection. You can join the group and search legit any brand and get tips from other esties!! So helpful!! Xxx

[@mikaaveli]

Less asked question but what about health insurance as an esthetician. We’re basically on our own with that?

[@TessZolly]

Tamika Andrews that’s a really good q- I’d say yeah :/ we’re pretty on our own, but it does happen depending on the company

[@alwaysamazed8175]

I was wondering about that too. It would be amazing if we could get some sort of coverage threw the state once we pass the state boards.

[@panickingATtheD1SC0]

Estheticians: I am interested in becoming an esthetician but I had back surgery a few years back and tend to get back pain easily. I was wondering if working as an esthetician causes a lot of back pain? This is something I really need to know before I get into the field. Thank you to anyone who can answer. 💓

[@TessZolly]

CA hi. I want to be honest here- I believe it is a career where your body can be compromised. You have to be extremely careful to stretch and exercise the right muscles as well as be aware of your posture and how you extend yourself in the treatment room. I believe regular massages are important as well. I do pilates and cryo as well to help. It’s something i don’t mess around with as I have been in two serious accidents. I like to use a foam roller As well. Hope this helps. Xx

[@panickingATtheD1SC0]

Tess Zolly thank you so much for your honesty!!!

[@allthingsskincare6565]

I disagree with the toner part

[@TessZolly]

thats ok! :)

[@allthingsskincare6565]

But if you can do a review on istree green tea toner that would be helpful I appreciate your channel much love from all things skincare

Estheticians and dermatologists won't tell you about black seed oil and argan oil because they get paid for your skin problems.
