National Aesthetician Day

National Aesthetician Day is in the United States every year on October 15th. This national day is dedicated to beauty professionals working in spas and medical clinics who offer rejuvenation, exfoliation, depilation, moisturizing, cleansing, and the treatment of various skin conditions to make their clients look and feel fresher and healthier.

History

National Aesthetician Day was founded by the company COSMEDIX in 2016 to recognize the talented and hardworking professionals in the cosmetology industry. The history of cosmetology dates back to ancient times when people used improvised materials to make cosmetic care products. For example, in South Africa, red stone powder was used for body decoration as a way of increasing attractiveness and completing hunting rituals. In Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra bathed in sour milk to exfoliate and whiten her skin. Ancient Greeks used olive oil as sunscreen, and there is evidence of body depilation with pumice and creams.

Fun facts

• In Ancient Greece in 840 BC, eyelid makeup was common, and a light complexion was fashionable, so it was bleached with milk.
• In the 6th century in Japan, incense was made from herbs and ingredients like charcoal; lipstick was created from crushed petals, and faces were powdered with rice powder.
• In 1399, English King Henry IV founded an order that granted members the privilege of bathing with soap in a bath.
