“Our industry has now grown into a high tech, scientific arena which means the skin therapists of today need to be familiar with complex ingredients and be trained to use advanced equipment technology, and possess a clear awareness of the needs of today’s clientele. Skntech institute’s aim is to raise ‘the bar’ in effective skincare, thus increasing the level of knowledge and skill set amongst skincare professionals.”
