I want to study cosmetology, but I'm more interested in skin care. I know cosmetologists get paid like 6 an hour, but how much does a skin care specialist get paid??
Answer
An hourly rate completely depends on who you are working for and what the terms of your employment are. For example, if you rent your own space and are doing simple european facials, you can generally charge between $65 and $150 per hour depending on where you are located (nowhere, Virginia or New York City). If you own the space, this is all yours - do 4 a day and you have yourself a nice $100,000 per year job. If you enter into a "split" agreement with a spa or clinic owner, you may get a 50% split of whatever you do, so the same facial, you will get $35 to $75 for each treatment. The difference here is that you have no expenses or overhead to deal with.
Lastly, if you have specialty equipment like a LipoMax, or DermaPod machine, for example, you can charge a LOT more for each treatment - well into the hundreds. Also- you can set up repeat treatments to get a much higher average customer value.

how do i make essential oils for skin care?
Melissa
ok i am a Huge fan of lavender scented items and i would really like to know how to make essential oils that smell great like lavender, i would like to use the oils in homemade candles, aroma therapy in baths and even skin care. can anyone help????
plus ; i tend to have severe cases of depression and aches and pain all over my body what kind of herbal remedies can i use to make essential bath oils to relax my mind and body?what are any other herbs that are great for skin care as well as aromatherapy?
Answer
Making an essential oil is an extremely complex process. First, you must have access to the plants that are grown in untainted and non-pesticide soil. Then, you have to be able to distill the oil, which without the proper equipment, you can't just do it in your house. The right species of Lavender must be used Lavandula angustifolia and not an inferior Lavandin which is what most aromatherapy products are made from. I would encourage you to purchase the oils you need; you ensure purity that way and won't have to hassle with actually trying to make an oil yourself.
Essential oils can be extremely therapeutic in nature and very medicinal. I have helped MANY clients get over depression and chronic pain using essential oils and teaching them how to take care of themselves. I have a lot of free information on my website:

A word on different brands. As a natural health practitioner, I am constantly working with people to educate them about herbal therapies and natural health care. Just like with wine and cigars, there are different grades to essential oils and some are certainly better than others. Most available in the health food store are filled with chemicals and should NEVER be taken internally to deal with a health condition. Some oils, are pure and very complex with the medicinal constituents that are within them and can perform miraculous changes in the body. So do your research and make sure you get some help from someone that knows what they're doing. Depression is nothing to take lightly (I used to suffer with it myself), but it can be overcome.
Best wishes!
