Hello kenythebus-ga,


The US Department of Labor includes aestheticians under the category

=====
Advise clients about colors and types of makeup, and instruct them in
makeup application techniques.

Apply chemical peels in order to reduce fine lines and age spots.

Cleanse clients' skin with water, creams and/or lotions.

Demonstrate how to clean and care for skin properly, and recommend
skin-care regimens.

Determine which products or colors will improve clients' skin quality
and appearance.

Examine clients' skin, using magnifying lamps or visors when
necessary, in order to evaluate skin condition and appearance.

Keep records of client needs and preferences, and the services provided.

Perform simple extractions to remove blackheads.

Remove body and facial hair by applying wax.

Select and apply cosmetic products such as creams, lotions, and tonics.
