I wonder how we estheticians have to follow so many laws; we have to abide to strict sanitation guidelines (which I am happy about); and other professional licensing laws. Then why can any Rodan and Fields rep, or Mary Kay rep, or any other MLM market themselves and sell skin care services? They seem to get through this loop hole by marketing themselves as strictly demonstrating products, but how many of us know that to be quite opposite of the truth? We know they do facial parties; we know they give out acne advice; and we know they touch people's faces. The state boards sit back and let these unlicensed, non-industry people give out consumer advice and touch the skin with absolutely no consequence. Let's face it, many consumers don't know the difference between a licensed esthetician and MLM rep. We have unlicensed people doing makeup (no worries about sanitation); we have unlicensed people performing eyelash extensions; and we have people performing "product facials" at makeup counters.
Where are you state board when all these illegal activities are going on? It not only cheapens our industry, but it defies what the purpose of the state board is, to protect the consumers.
