Today's Lesson Lounge continues our A–Z Ingredient Series with D is for Dimethicone.

Have you ever wondered why some moisturizers leave your skin feeling soft and comfortable for hours while others seem to disappear? Or why dimethicone has become one of the most debated ingredients in skincare?

In this episode, we're taking a peek into the ingredient by investigating the science behind dimethicone—what it is, why cosmetic chemists formulate with it, how it supports the skin barrier, and why it continues to spark conversations in the beauty industry.

Instead of relying on social media opinions or fear-based marketing, we're asking better questions, exploring the evidence, and learning how to think like estheticians.

A special thank you to ICEY Aesthetics (@iceyaesthetics.pgh) for creating educational content that inspired part of today's discussion and encouraged deeper conversations around cosmetic chemistry and ingredient education.

Lesson 21: No Noise just Motion,Direction - Goal Planning Pt 128 Jan 202600:36:44

In this solo episode, Naomi Alexis (aka The Skin Chick) slows the conversation down and talks about what it really looks like to move through a year on purpose.

This episode is about vision before goals, because planning without clarity is one of the quickest ways to feel overwhelmed, distracted, and emotionally drained.

Over Part 1 and Part 2, Naomi breaks down her Binder Method, the way she personally organizes her year, her focus, and her energy. She talks about naming the year, cutting out noise, and being honest about what’s actually pulling your attention versus what’s moving you forward.

This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters.

She also gets into emotional balance—how unchecked emotions can derail good plans, and why learning to regulate yourself is just as important as having a strategy.

💭 WHAT THIS EPISODE REALLY TEACHES
  • You don’t need perfection to make progress
  • Distractions cost more than we realize
  • Clarity makes decisions easier
  • Naming your year gives you direction
  • Planning works better when emotions are part of the conversation
  • Distraction is draining

This is, honest solo conversation, released in two parts, meant to be listened to slowly, paused, and revisited. If you’ve been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or tired of starting over, this episode meets you right where you are.

Lesson 11: One Staaarrr??? - Handling Negative Reviews with C.A.R.E28 Jul 202300:26:25

In this episode of "The Esthetician's Journey," we delved into the essential skill of responding to negative reviews with grace and responsibility. As estheticians, we explored the impact of negative feedback on our businesses and learned how to analyze reviews constructively. We practiced the C.A.R.E. approach, which stands for Compassion, Acknowledgment, Resolution, and Empowerment, to craft thoughtful responses to dissatisfied clients.

The homework assignment further solidified our knowledge as we engaged in case studies using the C.A.R.E. approach, sought private resolutions for specific scenarios, and brainstormed ways to turn negative feedback into positive change. Role-playing exercises enabled us to refine our response skills and focus on empathetic communication.

By completing the action plan, we committed to improving our services based on client insights, embracing each review as an opportunity for growth. Throughout the episode, we discovered that negative reviews, when handled professionally, can actually build trust with our audience and contribute to a positive reputation.
