At The Skin Games, our judges are more than evaluators—they are mentors, visionaries, and guiding lights for the next generation of beauty professionals. This week, we are honored to spotlight Lynn Laporte, an esthetician, instructor, reflexologist, and Reiki Master Teacher who is returning for her third year on the judging panel.
A Career Rooted in Integrative Wellness
With more than two decades of experience, Lynn has built a career that blends advanced skin therapy, reflexology, energy work, and nutritional esthetics. Her approach is deeply integrative, allowing her to see the skin as a reflection of the whole person—nutrition, lifestyle, hormones, and inner balance.
This holistic perspective transformed her esthetics practice into a personalized journey for every client and continues to shape her work as a judge at The Skin Games.
“I’m a mindful, growth-oriented, and intuitive judge—committed to evaluating with a full understanding of the body, mind, spirit, and skin,” Lynn says.
Defining Moments and Guiding Beliefs
One of the most pivotal realizations in Lynn’s career was that skin health cannot be separated from overall wellness. She explains:
“The moment I realized that skin reflects the whole person—nutrition, lifestyle, hormones, and inner balance—transformed my esthetics practice into a truly integrative, personalized journey for every client.”
She also challenges a common misconception in the beauty industry: that great skin comes from products alone. For Lynn, radiant, lasting results come from a sacred combination of lifestyle, nutrition, balance, and intentional care.
Lynn’s Advice for Competitors
When asked what wisdom she would share with players, Lynn emphasizes the importance of showing up fully and authentically:
“The Skin Games is more than what you submit—it’s about who you’re becoming. Bring your presence, your heart, and your voice into every stage. And when you’re given two minutes for your video, honor that space—use it fully. Every breath, every word, every moment tells your story.”
Her advice is a reminder that The Skin Games isn’t just about scoring points; it’s about personal growth, confidence, and the stories estheticians carry with them long after the competition ends.
