The event drew nearly 190 exhibitors from the world of cosmetics, skincare, tools and equipment, among them Bio Jouvance, DermaQuest, GlyMed Plus, HydroPeptide, M'lis, Satin Smooth and Tecniche. As well as learning about new products and equipment, attendees got the chance to sharpen their business tools, with an Advanced Education Conference Program on the Saturday offering four industry-driven tracks: Hyperpigmentation/Anti-aging; Acne/ Rosacea; The Body; and Business Summit. The day ended with an informational session with the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, where issues affecting the state's esthetics license were discussed. "As always, the Advanced Education Conference Program welcomed the best of the best in California esthetics, from speakers to attendees," said Cathy Christensen, conference director. The following two days featured supplier classes, with speakers such as Dasha Saian of SAIAN, who discussed and demonstrated nonsurgical facelift options, and Tecniche's Kris Campbell, who talked about solutions for treating sensitive and health-challenged skin. New for this year, the expo hall also housed a massage area sponsored by Associated Massage and Bodywork Professionals/ Associated Skin Care Professionals (ABMP/ASCP), which provided opportunities to learn about massage products and services. The next Face & Body show will be held on 21-23 March 2015 in Chicago. For more information, visit faceandbody.com.
