The American Cancer Association released its 2018 Cancer Facts and Figures report in February, detailing the anticipated number of skin cancer diagnoses for the year. It projected 178,560 new cases of melanoma in the United States, and 91,270 of those cases are expected to be invasive. Although May is Melanoma Awareness Month, every day of every month should be important to beauty professionals. Trained eyes save lives. No one comes closer to the skin than estheticians, and it’s the mission of Eyes on Cancer to ensure that they are paying attention to identify early-stage skin cancer.
Eyes On Estheticians
Google defines estheticians as people who are knowledgeable about the nature and appreciation of beauty, especially in art. The Fosters, through Eyes On Cancer, believe estheticians are more than that and do more than appreciate the obvious. Much like dermatologists who specialize in skin care, estheticians are passionate about the health and integrity of their clients’ skin and offer procedures and products that help improve their appearance. In many cases, clients see estheticians and other beauty professionals more often than their doctors and there’s a level of trust. As a result, estheticians are easily their first line of defense in spotting skin abnormalities that present as the beginning stages of skin cancer. So, what better way to forge an even stronger connection with them than by getting trained and certified to spot skin cancer?
