Chances are, you have a complaint or two about your skin –
whether it’s age spots on your cheeks or varicose veins on your calves. All
women want to put their best skin forward, but it’s hard when you’re coping
with acne, varicose veins, age spots, moles and more. Aestheticians, also known
as skin care specialists, cleanse and exfoliate, wax and laser, moisturize and
apply makeup to enhance a person's overall appearance. A skin care specialist
will first assess the condition of his or her clients' skin and make
recommendations on what can be done to improve their skin quality. An
aesthetician will also cleanse the skin, and in so doing, educate the client on
which face washes, lotions and creams are best suited to him or her. Applying
makeup is another piece of the job description, as is advising the client on a
personalized skin care regimen.
Definitely not the top of the list on someone's medical
needs--but certainly one that leaves you feeling fabulous. Lucky for us in the
ABE area, one such shop of glamour has just arrived to save our skin from all
of its faux paus.
Affordable indeed! One of Jassy's most popular services are
her lash extensions, extensions used to enhance the length, curliness,
fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes. The extensions may be made from
several materials including mink, synthetic, or horse hair. Jassy's precision
and cleanliness when applying these lashes is parallel to no other. BeSkintiful
is currently doing a $25 special on lash extensions. Book them here.

I visited one of the newest Beauty Bars in the Lehigh Valley
area that caters to all of these needs and more. BeSkintiful Makeup and Facial Bar is your premiere stop
shop for facials, make-up looks, and lash extensions. Run by licensed
Aesthetician Jasmine Flemming, BeSkintiful is the only aesthetics salon located
in the downtown Allentown area. I interviewed Jasmine (affectionately called
Jassy by friends and family) about her hopes for BeSkintiful, and what's setting
it apart from other beauty bars in the area.
What made you want to become an Aesthetician?
I really wanted to help women of color with skincare health.
It's not something we do often enough, and simple things we do can increase our
skin health for years.
What can we expect from your salon that's different from
other salons in the area?
BeSkintiful is the only aesthetics salon downtown that
services beauty needs from the face up. We pride our services on beautifying
women through make-up and skincare. We also pride ourselves on being an
affordable glam shop.

Another plus to BeSkintiful? The aesthetics! Literally. The
Spa was filled from room to room with personal glam touches. With 2 rooms
dedicated to facials, its tough not to get lost after your personalized
session. You can truly tell that there was love and though put into each
detail, further adding to the customer service BeSkintiful strives for.
Located at 513 W.Linden St, BeSkintiful is open from
Wednesday to Sunday. Make an appointment, or just drop in. Your skin will thank
you!
