Virginia Woolf said it best: \u201cBooks are the mirrors of the soul.\u201d As practitioners and entrepreneurs in an industry that always leaves something to learn, books provide information, insight, and, sometimes, a little relief from day-to-day pressures. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, we discuss a few of our favorite books we think you may enjoy as well!\xa0

About Ella Cressman:

Ella Cressman is a licensed esthetician, certified organic formulator, business owner, and absolute ingredient junkie! As an educator, she enjoys empowering other estheticians and industry professionals to understand skin care from an ingredient standpoint rather than a product-specific view.

She has spent many hours researching ingredients, understanding how and where they are sourced, as well as phytochemistry, histological access, and complementary compounds for intentional skin benefits. In addition to running a skin care practice, Cressman founded a comprehensive consulting group, the HHP Collective, and has consulted for several skin care lines, including several successful CBD brands.
