L+A Reader Favorites in 2025 show us how much you love the medical + Spa article we share.
If we could hand-deliver this on your treatment tray with a warm towel and calming tea, we would. Because YOU made 2025 unforgettable for Lipgloss + Aftershave.
This year, your clicks, comments, DMs, downloads, webinar registrations, and giveaway entries on our reader favorites list told us loud and clear: our mission to provide news, reviews + education really matters to you.
We felt it, in the traffic spikes after a device deep dive, the reader questions that poured in after ingredient articles, and the sold-out Summer School registrations.
And honestly…we had an absolute blast creating this content. There’s nothing quite like watching pros geek out over new technology or debate the ideal post-laser protocol.
Esthetician + Spa Owner Reviews L+A
Katrina Yokoyama, LE
As an esthetician with over 20 years in the industry, staying current isn’t optional—it’s essential. Trends evolve quickly, ingredients shift, technology advances, and client expectations continue to rise.
Lipgloss + Aftershave has become one of my most trusted resources for education, industry insight, and staying ahead of both medical and traditional esthetics. From ingredient deep-dives and device innovations to treatment trends and real-world practitioner perspectives, it consistently delivers information I can actually use in the treatment room and in my business.
What I value most is the balance—science-backed education without losing the artistry of esthetics. It supports growth at every level, whether you’re refining protocols, expanding into advanced treatments, or simply staying inspired in a constantly changing field.
If you’re serious about elevating your practice, sharpening your expertise, and staying aligned with where the industry is going, Lipgloss + Aftershave is an invaluable tool.
Before we roll into 2026, we want to say thank you. Thank you for trusting us to bring you education that elevates your career and keeps you ahead of what’s coming next in medical + spa skincare.
