Christine Byer
My skincare journey started with my love of beautifying others. From a young age I pampered anyone who’d let me. I drove my sisters crazy! That evolved into 20+ years in the Skincare industry.
In 2016 I thought it’d be fun to challenge my skills so I entered the 2016 Skin Games, an International competition. It was a stressful but an amazing experience. I placed 3rd out of 1,029 competing estheticians, and in the Top 7 for Age Management. Check out the video.
This award was based on results from an 8-week case-study, before and after photos, an interview in front of a panel of judges (all skincare industry executives) and some other factors. This is a MAJOR accomplishment and not something the average esthetician ever gets to do. I’m glad I put my skills on the line and I am proud of this achievement.
It’s never been enough for me to learn something and only use it in my studio to WOW my clients. I love sharing what I learn and I’ve chosen to do that on my YouTube channel and in my Club. I want to make it possible for anyone to not only take advantage of leading edge products and technology, but to learn PRO techniques they can use at home. As I read posts from my fans about how they love how they look, after using my tips, or buying a product, and seeing results, it brings me great joy.
I will be a skincare student for life but my education began with my degree from MEDART SCHOOL OF ESTHETICS in Miami, FL. I did my post graduate study at the International Dermal Institute, known as the Harvard of post-graduate education for professional Estheticians.
I regularly attend Dermalogica classes founded by Jane Wurwand (from England) where the motto is, “no harmful ingredients to the skin” and my education doesn’t stop there. The list of classes and continuing education is a long one (read the list here) – and I will continue to grow because I aspire to keep bringing you ONLY THE VERY BEST in products and technology so you are empowered to age gracefully.
I’ve spent thousands of hours filming educational and informative videos on how-to topics ranging from using various technologies, to facial contouring massage with the ANMA, to LED and PRO quality skincare products, and more. I do this because I want viewers to get PROFESSIONAL advice, not misleading information by well-intentioned amateurs, many who’ve never touched a face or taken any formal training.
I continue to maintain my skills and knowledge. In spite of my busy schedule, it’s not unusual for me to board an airplane to receive advanced training and education from around the world – and then share this knowledge with my fans.
Thanks for stopping by to learn more about me.
Cheers to your skincare journey!

Traci used personal research and compassionate intention to make home visits to service her client.

Compassion Category Judges
Geralyn O’Brien
Geralyn O’Brien is a licensed esthetician who specializes in oncology-focused skincare. As a cancer survivor, Geralyn saw first hand the effects cancer treatments had on her skin and well-being. Spending many years supporting other breast cancer patients as a Reach to Recovery volunteer with American Cancer Society, she found that cancer patients lacked knowledge about the impact of cancer treatment and how to safely address concerns. Hoping to fill this gap, she completed her Esthetician training with Dr. Natalie Doran at International Skin Beauty Academy in Schaumburg, Illinois in 2010, followed by several oncology trainings for estheticians. Two more cancers followed Geralyn after becoming an esthetician, and this drove her passion to see every salon and spa oncology safe so no cancer patient is turned away for a spa treatment.
Geralyn provides facials and skincare consultations at Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center in Aurora, Illinois. She also helps organize spa days and fun, interactive classes for cancer patients. There, she helped design and implement a pilot program called “Simply Beautiful” which educates women on safe skincare, makeup and hair loss while enhancing each women’s natural beauty.
Geralyn is also a trainer and ambassador with Oncology Spa Solutions where she brings awareness to local esthetic schools and estheticians in Illinois and serves as a contributor to the Integrative Cancer Review online journal. It is her philosophy that ongoing education and mentorship will continue to bring much needed awareness to important aspects of cancer care that too many people go without. She says healing is a ongoing journey and she constantly sees the benefits that wellness programs provide to cancer patients and their families.
As a winner in The Skin Games Compassionate category in 2020, Geralyn donated her $10,000.00 winnings to Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center. She is excited to be on the other side this year as a Judge for the Compassionate category and help promote and support Esthetician’s and others in the beauty industry going that extra mile.

I currently own businesses in this field and appreciate the hard work it takes to manage a successful business and a home life. I am the proud Mom of a sassy beautiful toddler who is the joy of my life.
Over the last sixteen years, I have developed a passion for hair removal and skin care. After attending cosmetology school, I opened my first Spa at the age of 22. Hair removal and skin care management have been one of my primary areas of focus to find the best hair removal method possible and refine the techniques used. As I have developed this expert knowledge, I found that the best way to share with other esthetic professionals this effective and gentle way of hair removal was to become an educator and consultant. I have been an Esthetics educator and consultant for the last twelve years. I find immense value and satisfaction in teaching others and certainly enjoy sharing my knowledge through social media platforms.
I consider my passion for esthetics as an investment in my client’s health that can last a lifetime. I take my work seriously and have spent countless hours working and collaborating with scientists and chemists to develop a gentle and effective ingrown hair serum, soaps, and other body products for my clientele. Hair removal and skincare are about using the best products and the right techniques. I take pride in keeping current with the latest trends in skincare and certainly product knowledge. It is essential that I invest in my knowledge so that I am able to provide exceptional care to all the clients I serve as well as the students I teach.
I am super excited to be a judge in the sugaring category and look forward to growing the sugaring category. I am eager to see what the contestants will present during the competition. I know that contestants have put in a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment in preparing for this opportunity. Let us all make this competition as sweet as sugar!

Brooke Kennedy
Brooke Kennedy is more than just a fresh-faced beauty queen from Sequim, WA; she’s got ambition and brains and a profound passion for the health and wellbeing of people and the environment. She learned much of her adult regimens and character qualities from her mother, who taught her from a young age the importance of skin care, and from her father, who owned a restaurant and demonstrated hard work and excellent customer service.
After attending the University of Washington, where Brooke studied molecular cell biology, dance, and French, and was an active member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, she decided that medical school was not going to be her path, and she began to pursue other avenues while supporting herself in the food and beverage industry. Along the way, she also spent time in the electrical industry developing business and sales, and working in project management.
In 2012 Brooke graduated from the Euro Institute of Skin Care and opened Bliss by Brooke Skin Care in 2013 in a 7 ½’ x 8 ½’ made-over closet of a hair salon. Since then she has continuously improved her knowledge base and skill set as an aesthetician by completing courses in advanced skin analysis (with Florence Barrett-Hill of Pastiche) and acquiring an oncology esthetic certificate, which is a personal passion for Brooke.
Skin care, for Brooke, feels like a perfect combination of serving others, creating a memorable guest experience, and using the latest scientific advancements. She works hard and believes that life is too short not to love what you do!

From Jennifer Aniston to Cameron Diaz, Rob Lowe to Tom Cruise, Emmy-Award winning makeup artist Camille Calvet has built a 30-year legacy in making some of Hollywood’s biggest stars ready to lead in iconic films. On top of a successful career in Hollywood, Calvet is the game-changing CEO and founder of award-winning skincare line, SilcSkin, dedicated to developing non-invasive solutions for the safe and effective removal of wrinkles and fine lines. SilcSkin is the first of its kind to use natural silicone patches that adhere to your skin while you sleep—without using toxic adhesives—to keep all areas of your body smooth and wrinkle-free, safely and effectively without irritation. They treat your wrinkles like scars and heal them while you sleep. They are a compliment or alternative to Botox, fillers and creams.
SilcSkin got its start in developing solutions for wrinkles over twenty years ago, as Calvet was the first to repurpose and redesign Silicone Scar Gel Sheeting for Antiwrinkle, anti-aging products. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the best possible results were achieved and quality was not compromised. All manufacturing takes place in the U.S.A. and Calvet and the company pride themselves on using a platinum curing process to refine the silicone, ensuring only the purest reaches the consumer. SilcSkin pads are stronger and last longer than the competition, and they don’t use any additives.

Before graduating school she landed an amazing position at the prestigious Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa. At her time working at red door spa, she worked with many different technicians from around the world that allowed her to perfect her craft and learn many different techniques. There she learned the importance of detail and how important the spa industry was with so many things it had to offer.

She was able to do something she loved while helping others achieve their goals.
Merissa did not stop there. While working at a cosmetology school and working in a spa part of her time, she decided to continue her education and enroll in esthetician school. She fell in love with the world of waxing and wanted to learn all there was to learn about skincare. Once she completed esthetician school, it was not far after she was able to offer a variety of services to her clients and students.

Kileigh Johnson
Kileigh grew up around women who were in the beauty industry and were so inspiring to her. As she grew older into her teenage years, she started to picture herself as a beauty professional as well. When Kileigh graduated high school she worked as a Receptionist at a Luxury Spa in Tacoma, WA. She fell in love being in the atmosphere of the spa. While working here she learned how to do Spray Tan’s and did makeup applications for clients from time to time. Two years later in 2014 Kileigh graduated her Esthetics Program top in her class from The Bellus Academy in San Diego, CA. She moved to Las Vegas after graduating and started working at Sephora.
She elevated the store’s skincare knowledge in so many ways being a licensed professional as well as being passionate about education. She worked with Perricone MD, Clarisonic and Control Corrective Skin Care as a freelance artist and all of these different brands instilled the importance of education and she knew that long term she wanted to be an educator. In 2016 Kileigh then began working for one of the busiest and well-respected Lash Lounges in the Vegas area and received an amazing foundation of knowledge of Classic and Volume lash extensions. Kileigh moved back home to Tacoma, WA to be closer to her family and work for a popular waxing studio that was expanding where she branded their lash extension line exclusive for the salons use. For more flexibility and time with her family she started her own business in 2018 specializing in lash extensions, lash lifts, brow shaping and body waxing. It was around that time she discovered Elleebana and fell in love with the brand. Fast forward to 2022 Kileigh is the Master Trainer at the USA Headquarters Office, and is so excited to see her passion for education grow further in this important role and inspiring many others along the way. She teaches courses in Lash Lifts, Lash & Brow Lamination, Brow Henna and Lash Extensions.
