With the dynamic environment, career choice has been a daunting task at any age. However, it is essential for individuals to make prudent decisions on the career that one aspires to pursue in the future and this entails carrying out rigorous research (Lim et al. p.958). After a detailed study, narrowing the options and proper planning is paramount. A career in the field of esthetics is a demanding one regarding job descriptions, requirements as well as training that involves multiple facets regarding education and hands-on skills. However, the outlook is positive due to the rising demand for a qualified aesthetician.
Job description
Estheticians perform various tasks such as facial as well as treatment of the skin. They are mandated in offering advisory services to their clients as well as making referrals to dermatologists when the need arises (Hwang and YunSun p.198). Additionally, skin care experts should utilize their time well and also have perfect physical stamina. Similarly, the estheticians should be aware of the threats and dangers that they may encounter in their line of duty such as injuries both to their clients as well as to them.
Training and education
Estheticians can acquire skills such as chemical peels, analysis of the skin as well as removal of hair techniques via certificate, diploma or degree courses. Other essential careers include a massage therapist, facials, esthetician and dermatologist (Hwang and YunSun p.

201). Additionally, a state license is mandatory for skin care technicians to continue serving as cosmetologists or estheticians.
Demand and outlook
Due to the ever-increasing demand for skin care technicians nationwide, the field has had a positive perspective. According to Toossi, there is a high probability of experiencing more than average growth in demand for jobs by anticipating a 12% rise in demand by the year 2022 (p.124). Promisingly, the estheticians earned an average of $35,300 annually though there was minimal fluctuation based on the employer (Toossi P.126).
Conclusion
Careers in esthetics is a demanding one regarding the responsibilities, relevant training and skills as well as physical requirements of the technicians. However, continued acquisition of unique and new skills to adapt to the changing demands of clients is vital to have a competitive edge in the field. Consequently, the area has been a positive one due to the high demand for skin care technicians and thus creating more employment opportunities for young people.
