"I've personally worked with Dermalogica for over 15 years starting back from when I was an esthetic student. Heading into my career it was such a piece of mind knowing continued education was always provided with this line within this forever changing industry. Over the years I have begun to really look forward to each Dermalogica educational on-tour to make its way to Edmonton. What I look forward to most aside from learning is the opportunity to connect with other industry professionals. These education days always re-spark my fire and get me excited about the line all over again as if it was the first time learning about it. Lastly I love the opportunity it provides to build relationships with the dermalogica educators and business consultants for ongoing support. I will forever carry this line at my spa! Dermalogica expert for life! "
