The year 2020 has probably been the hardest year so far for people from various walks of life as the covid-19 pandemic took the world by surprise and has still been lingering on for a while longer than expected. People were forced out of their natural habitat of socializing with each other and instead, made to adhere strictly to social distancing.
Which literally meant STAY AT HOME! Of course, schools, offices, cinemas, salons and spas, bars, tourist centers, game houses, stadiums, etc. (except hospitals), were literally shut down as a means to contain the spread of the virus.
The esthetics world was not left out; many estheticians were thrown in a state of confusion as the work of an esthetician does not involve sitting in front of as desktop or pressing computers. In fact, estheticians are seen as mini doctors that perform the magic of healing the human skin. And, in order to accomplish this, they need to see their clients physically, so as to be able to give the best treatment necessary for their skin.
The pandemic however made socializing hard for people in the year, 2020 and as such, most businesses have adopted the use of social media and the internet as the means through which they can communicate with employees, clients and the world at large. Estheticians also had to adopt this means to find clients online and create skincare routines using products that are readily available within the reach of their clients.

This is another mind-blowing skincare routine people are in love with lately. The facials in a box were created for people to apply at home, especially because of the lockdown. These at-home facial kits are super awesome, as many people apply them as directed by their esthetician who has taken a consultation beforehand either physically prior to lockdown or virtually during the lockdown period.
This kit has especially helped to keep Estheticians in business during these hard times not just because they need to keep making money but also because the clients need to keep up with their skincare plan as not keeping up will mean a major restart when the lockdown is finally lifted.

The Korean Glass Skin is seriously trending as we speak and it is gradually finding its way out of Asia into Europe and a few other continents.
