In a surprising announcement that’s sending ripples through the professional skincare industry, Skin Inc. Media has officially cancelled the 2025 Face & Body Skin Care Show.
May 2025 L+A Report
Why Feminine Health Matters to Medical + Spa Aesthetic Professionals
For decades, menopause was spoken about in hushed tones—if at all. Referred to simply as “the change,” it often carried a vague, almost mysterious connotation. We grew up hearing about hot flashes on sitcoms, where menopause was portrayed as a punchline or a dreaded life event. I can still remember episodes where characters treated it like the end of youth, the end of beauty, or even the end of relevance.
But things are changing.
Thanks to mainstream advocates—yes, even Oprah—the conversation around menopause and feminine health is shifting into the spotlight. We’re finally seeing more open, honest discussions about how hormonal transitions impact the entire body, not just fertility.
Posted just hours ago on their official Instagram account, @skinincmedia stated:
“With much consideration, we have decided to cancel Face & Body 2025.”
For decades, Face & Body has been a cornerstone event for estheticians, spa owners, and skincare brands — a hub for education, product discovery, and connection. The show has long held space as a trusted platform for innovation and fellowship within the esthetics community.
Skin Inc. noted the decision was not taken lightly:
“The support and community built around this event series means the world to us and could not exist without estheticians and spa professionals coming back year after year.”
While no specific reasons for the cancellation were cited in the announcement, Skin Inc. assured the industry that this is not goodbye — it’s a regroup. They shared plans to invest this time into building an even better event experience for the future, encouraging followers to stay tuned for updates through polls and brand coverage.
“While Face & Body takes this break, we will be spending time creating an even better event.”
At L+A, we understand how important this event has been to countless professionals who’ve used Face & Body as a launching pad for brand visibility, hands-on education, and peer connection. We’ll be watching closely as Skin Inc. develops their next chapter — and we’ll be here to support the esthetics community through continued news, education, and trendspotting.
