In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we’re wading into the therapeutic, challenging, and sometimes controversial relationship between skin and water—specifically, ocean water, geothermal hot springs, and chlorinated swimming pools. From ancient folklore to modern esthetics practices, we’re exploring how these natural (and not-so-natural) waters impact the skin, the body, and the emotional state, plus what estheticians can recommend before and after exposure. ASCP Esty Talk with hosts Ella Cressman and Maggie Staszcuk Produced by Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) for licensed estheticians, ASCP Esty Talk is a weekly podcast, hosted by licensed estheticians, Ella Cressman, ASCP Skin Deep Magazine contributor, and Maggie Staszcuk, ASCP Program Director. We see your passion, innovation, and hard work and are here to support you by providing a platform for networking, advocacy, camaraderie, and education. We aim to inspire you to ask the right questions, find your motivation, and give you the courage to have the professional skin care career you desire. About Ella Cressman: Ella Cressman is a licensed esthetician, certified organic formulator, business owner, ingredient junkie, and esthetic cheerleader! As an educator, she enjoys empowering other estheticians and industry professionals to understand skin care from an ingredient standpoint rather than a product-specific view.
