An Opportunity to... in the Beauty Industry
An interview Glow
by Kimberly Bobson Feldman with Lauren Becotte Rampello
Lauren Becotte Rampello is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Pure Glow, premium airbrush tanning that mimics the skin’s natural tan. Lauren’s personal struggles with her skin lead her to create Pure Glow in 2015, when she was just 27 years old.
Lauren, what experiences have you had that led to the creation of Pure Glow?
As a teenager, I suffered from debilitating shame and humiliation due to a stubborn skin condition. My acne was embarrassing and painful; any efforts I made to cover it up only seemed to make it look worse.
FULLER-BODIED HAIR STARTS AT THE SCALP
My memories regarding my time as a teenager weren't just about acne; it was about feeling powerless. But it was also the beginning of a journey that led me to create Pure Glow, a sanctuary for those who, like me, sought confidence and beauty in their own skin.
Why did you land on sunless tanning as the solution to your skin challenges?
When I discovered sunless tanning, it was like finding a hidden door to self-assurance. But the journey wasn't without its pitfalls – smelly formulas, sticky textures, streaky results, and unnatural colors. Determined, I spent close to a decade perfecting an organic, non-toxic formula that worked with the skin's natural chemistry. The result? A natural-looking tan that not only beautifies but nourishes.
How did you navigate getting the brand up and running?
The beauty industry is often a maze of licensing and certifications, creating barriers for many aspiring professionals. At Pure Glow, we turned this challenge into an opportunity. By operating without the need for specialized licensing, we've been able to embrace passionate individuals who might not have had the means or time for formal certification.
How did you cultivate such a strong team?
Without the burden of licensing requirements, we've fostered a diverse group of talented individuals. We invest heavily in their training, focusing on the intricacies of our products and safety protocols. For many, Pure Glow has been a stepping stone to greater achievements in the beauty industry.
What is your plan for company growth?
As we venture into franchising, we've encountered many who dream of being part of the beauty industry but are daunted by the hurdles of licens -
ing. Pure Glow stands as a beacon for these aspiring entrepreneurs, offering a viable path to owning a business in the beauty sector.
Reflecting on my journey, I realize the profound ripple effect Pure Glow has created. Team members tapping into their passion within the beauty industry has sparked a wave of positive change. And as we grow, I remain committed to this vision of empowering, nurturing, and transforming lives through the art of beauty.
What is your vision for the future of Pure Glow?
At Pure Glow, we're not just about sunless tanning; we're about creating opportunities, nurturing dreams, and celebrating beauty in all its forms. Looking ahead, I envision Pure Glow as more than a brand; it's a community
"At Pure Glow, we're not just about sunless tanning; we're about creating opportunities, nurturing dreams, and celebrating beauty in all its forms. "
where everyone, regardless of their background or challenges, can find a place. A place where beauty is accessible, aspirations are achievable, and transformations are real.
Little did I know that solving my skin conditions would have such a ripple effect on clients who experience the same issues that I did and provide an option to many people who want to work within the beauty industry to positively impact people's lives.

Creating a Product Line Alongside a Cosmetic Lab
From dream to reality
by Ashley Hanlon
Have you ever envisioned launching your own skincare, haircare, or body care line? If you had the opportunity to create products exclusive to your spa or beauty business, what do you imagine it looking, feeling, and smelling like? Now, picture having this chance to craft exclusive products tailored for your spa or beauty business. Oh, the possibilities! This isn't just a dream; it's a tangible reality ready to be brought to life.
In the dynamic world of skincare, where innovation meets essential care, the idea of curating your own product line is both exhilarating and, admittedly, a tad overwhelming. As an esthetician and product developer, deeply immersed in the world of skincare education, I've personally navigated this journey and am here to empower my fellow beauty professionals embarking on the exciting business endeavor of creating your own products!
The Quest for the Right Lab
Skincare isn't just about beauty; it's a science. The first step of this adventure involves finding the right cosmetic lab — a trusted partner to share your vision
and work alongside. Research, and interview labs with a reputation for top quality ingredients and equipment, follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines and a proven track record of bringing products to life through experience. Navigating the regulatory processes is crucial to ensure your formulations comply with safety and quality benchmarks.
Budgeting: Beyond Formulations
A well-thought-out budget is your guiding light in this creative journey, considering not just the cost of the product formulations themselves, but also Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs), product shipping, storing of
the inventory, filling and labeling bottles, and everything in between. MOQ’s can be as low as 25 units (Private Label) while Custom Formulations can be upwards in the hundreds to thousands. Decide if this is a destination you will be traveling as a solo business owner, or whether you may need a team of people to assist. Working alongside a lab that offers multiple resources and options, such as low MOQ’s, in-house packaging and labeling, and expert guidance unique to your current and long term business goals, is ideal.
Working with a Cosmetic Formulator

"Going into your project with a clear vision and well thought out business plan will save time and cost less money in the long run."
Packaging as an Art Form
Once you’ve tested and approved your dream products(s), the next step is packaging, which truly is a form of art. Strike a balance between aesthetically pleasing and functionality to create a product that stands out from the rest! Consider aspects such as your product's shelf appearance, how it will feel in the consumers hands while using it, and the sustainability of your packaging. Keep in mind, most private label options come with standardized packaging, however, you can always ask about providing your own packaging.
Educating for Brand Elevation
formulator is a meeting of the minds from the best of both worlds. They are the behind the scenes creators who bring your product to fruition. Invest time in Research and Development (R&D) while working closely with the product development team to articulate your vision, choose the right ingredients, and ensure that each product aligns with your brand’s overall vibe and mission. Going into your project with a clear vision and well thought out business plan will save time and cost less money in the long run.
Now that you have your dream product(s) in hand, your brand is an extension of your expertise. Leverage your knowledge to educate clients about the immediate and long term benefits of your product(s) when used as directed. Discuss key ingredients and why they are your favorites and most trusted! Clients seek our professional recommendations and expect us to provide them with products to address their current skin concerns and support their long term skin goals. Do not think of this as “selling” to your
clients. Instead you are offering a solution to their problem. If you love and believe in the products, your clients will likely share your excitement! Creating educational content, such as social media posts and blogs, also enhances your brand's value and positions you as a trusted authority.
Creating your skincare line is more than just a business venture. It's about infusing your unique touch into products that resonate with your clientele. So, dream big, plan meticulously, and don’t be afraid to allow your creativity to flow. You’re not just elevating your brand, but the industry as a whole. This is your chance to define your definition of beauty, one product at a time!

Marketing Tip of the Month
Hop on the skincare express! With so many people short on time these days, offering “express” versions of your treatments is a smart way to get additional clients in the door who otherwise can’t make room in their schedules for a full-time treatment. Be sure to promote your express services in business-centric neighborhoods, and you should see an influx of busy clients in no time!

MEN Have Skin
Marketing skincare to everyone
by Lashelle Ullie
The beauty industry is female dominated and, in all fairness, women may understand consistency and process in a way that men haven’t been forced to. This has been my experience as an esthetician and owner of The Lashelle Effect Atelier in Beverly Hills, California. I’ve been in this industry for over two decades. Women have reigned supreme for a long time, but I believe making it more inclusive for men is going to revolutionize the industry as a whole.
In the West, men have not been as in tune with skincare, historically. One of the catalysts for a more recent change is social media. Some social media platforms are like digital photo albums to the world, and modern men understand they can use their image to their advantage, and skin is a part of that image. One of our biggest opportunities to involve men is how we enhance the relationship with men and skincare. Skincare for men isn’t one dimensional, so how the industry appeals to masculinity can’t be one dimensional. We can maintain our focus on appealing to beauty, and in addition, appeal to men by marketing properly. I don’t think we know what that looks like in the beauty industry, but I suggest making skincare a part of healthcare, increasing the emotional connection men have with their skin. We must show men how to stay ready instead of having to get ready when it’s too late.
My passion to make space for men in the beauty industry is personal. I am a black gay man from humble beginnings and through my upbringing, my grandmother molded me into someone who is comfortable communicating and caring for anyone. My love for people and understanding of men is what allows me to be a trailblazer in this industry and to fulfill my purpose. Masculinity is currently in a renaissance period, and what it means to be a man is being redefined. Now is the time, and we must be intentional about having more men in this field. This includes black and brown men, as well as straight men, because representation always
"Skincare for men isn’t one dimensional, so how the industry appeals to masculinity can’t be one dimensional."
To start making that impact, I put together a men’s conference panel called Good Health Builds Wealth for The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. I brought together a hypnotherapist, acupuncturist, and LED light therapy specialist, along with myself, to shed light on how we compartmentalize skincare. I wanted to continue to form the narrative that skincare is healthcare, and by attaching that to wealth, we were able to bring more men into the conversation. Everyone is interested in how your skin impacts you in other areas of life, especially financially. The skin is the largest organ on the body and the first thing anyone sees, no matter who you are. It needs to be nourished and maintained properly, as it has an impact on how people see you and, more importantly, on the relationship you have with yourself.
matters. The more I see different men in the industry, the more comfort it provides for a wider range of clients to receive services.
Now more than ever, I see young black men focused on getting well. This is a demographic that statistically hasn’t always been at the forefront of wellness. As an esthetician, I have an opportunity to help men feel inclusive from all aspects. I want them to see what I do as a viable source of income that allows you to make a way for yourself. I also want to help men, as consumers, heal at a higher rate by introducing them to more than just facials and massages. They should also be taught maintenance and healing through the skincare process.
Who I am, my background, and my training gives me the skillset to reach men where they are. I understand that some are apprehensive to be nurtured, but that’s where I thrive. I provide a comfort level
that opens them up to the possibilities of what I do and how it will impact their performance in life. A part of my mission is to introduce men to this world of skincare and connect it to the universe of healthcare.
Lashelle Ullie is a licensed skin health professional who advocates for a holistic approach to wellness for men. This approach combines traditional and Integrative treatment methods to achieve optimal skin health. Lashelle plays a crucial role in this care continuum, where he assesses the skin, creates treatment plans, and connects clients with other health and wellness practitioners for related risk factors that go beyond the scope of skin treatment.

An Esty’s First Year Journey: February
I’VE FOCUSINGBEENON PERFECTING MY APPLICATIONMAKEUPAND TECHNIQUES.
This month, we catch up with our new esty bestie, Sofia Montero Rorrer, to see how she’s progressing.
Hi Sofia!
How's it going out in the field?
Hello! Things are going a little slow right now as I am still job searching. I’ve been focusing on perfecting my makeup application and techniques for my friend’s wedding.
Have you made any progress in your job search?
I have found a few locations I think would be a great fit. I’m currently in the process of updating my resume and I plan on sending out applications soon.
What are your next steps at the moment?
At the moment, I want to spend a little more time on my knowledge of makeup and application, and going more in-depth with learning different products.
Have you picked up any new tricks or skills?
I have started practicing more eyebrow and eyelash lamination, usually on my sister and family. I want to perfect those since there is a very big market for them today.
How are you keeping your esthetics learning going?
I study the textbooks I was given in school just to refresh my memory. I also bought different textbooks online for more specific areas of skincare, such as acne, ingredients, and more.
What are your favorite resources for fresh ideas?
Some of my favorite resources for fresh ideas are social media and
workshops. From social media like TikTok, I learn different techniques from estheticians, as well as marketing strategies. From workshops I also learn different services that I wasn’t taught in school, such as brow mapping and
goals for this month?
I have a few goals for this month. One, to perfect lash lifting, as it has been my favorite technique so far. Two, to focus more on my research of treatments for acne prone skin types. And lastly, to solidify the renovation plans for the camper my mom and I want to turn into a mobile spa room.
Esthetician Spotlight
Tara Kurowski,
The Blue Room Face
& Body
What is your business called and where are you located?
I am the owner of The Blue Room Face & Body in Austin, Texas!
Can you give a little information about your background as an esthetician?
I have been a licensed esthetician for almost four years now! Aside from my own practice, I train estheticians through Patreon with a digital textbook I created. I am also on the education team for Skin Script Rx, where I travel around to schools to educate on products and ingredients.
What inspired you to become an esthetician?
I always felt like I would be best suited for a career that cares for or provides a service to people. I really like taking care of others, especially making them
feel more beautiful. I became really interested in skincare when I suddenly found myself with a full face of adult acne, and then I realized skincare was something I could actually go to school for!
What beauty philosophy do you stand by?
We’re all so used to seeing edited, filtered, curated content. No one really knows what a real face or body looks like anymore. I think I have the unique opportunity as someone who sees skin every day to educate and empower my clients to love and accept the realness of the skin and body they’re in. So, my philosophy would be that healthy skin is the goal and realness is beautiful. There’s no such thing as perfection, you’ll just waste your life comparing and tearing yourself apart.
What is your favorite treatment?
My favorite treatment that I offer is definitely the Anti-Aging Facial because it includes everything you could ever want! Dermaplane to remove vellus hair and dead skin, Enzyme Exfoliation to soften and brighten, Oxygen Infusion, mask with Cold Therapy, and Red Light Therapy to stimulate collagen and elastin. Plus “Notox,” which is an Argireline-based treatment that works on expression lines, wrinkles, and just totally snatches the face, as well as Nanochanneling, which helps serums penetrate 97 percent deeper!
What brands do you use and why?
My #1 is Skin Script Rx. I could go on and on about why they are just the most amazing brand. Aside from giving you all of the tools needed to succeed in your business, their products are incredible. It’s really important to me to make good skincare accessible to everyone, so their affordable pricing for a professional brand really aligns with me. I personally cleared my own acne with the line, which makes me feel so
much more confident treating clients. Their chirally correct formulations are top tier in every product. I also use Tizo Skin for SPF. Sun protection is so important and clients are way more likely to use a product they love! The tinted SPF from Tizo is such a dream.
What is your secret to beautiful skin?
First, consistency is key. It takes time to see change in the skin. Second, progressive not aggressive! Keeping the skin barrier healthy is the secret to beautiful skin for sure. There needs to be a balance of strong professional treatments and ingredients while also giving your skin proper time to heal and regenerate.
What are your favorite tools to use in the treatment room and why?
Dermaplaning is fantastic for that immediate glow and smoothness! The satisfaction of seeing the instant results it offers can be incredibly rewarding for both me and my client. It's great for exfoliation and removing dead
skin cells, as well as the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), leaving the skin feeling super soft and looking radiant. Clients love the immediate effect, as it can make their skin feel smoother and look brighter almost instantly. Plus, it enhances the absorption of skincare products, making subsequent treatments or product application more effective.
What is your favorite part about working for your company?
Working for yourself offers a wonderful sense of autonomy and flexibility. You have the freedom to set your own schedule, choose your clients, and tailor your services to align with your vision and values. The ability to make decisions independently and steer your business in the direction you desire can be incredibly rewarding. Plus, the feeling of accomplishment when you see your efforts directly contributing to the success of your own venture is truly fulfilling.

Editor's Treatment Pick
Lymphatic Drainage
Noticing some skin inflammation, this month, our editor, Kimberly, went in search of a solution. This led her to a new spot in Miami’s Coral Gables neighborhood, the Silver Mirror Facial Bar.
In order to address puffiness, uneven tone, and redness and irritation, esthetician Andry Solorzano recommended the Lymphatic Drainage facial. “Lymphatic drainage is the best option for inflammation and calming redness,” explained
The Lymphatic Drainage facial works by stimulating the in the face, allowing puffiness and natural to reduce. The improvement in lymphatic circulation allows the skin to achieve a glow.
