From The Editor

November 2024

Hi, estys!

I’m beyond thrilled to return as your managing editor after a two-year wellness hiatus. During this time, I’ve not only rejuvenated my own spirit but also deepened my passion for the wellness and esthetics industry. My journey with esthetics and wellness has come full circle, beginning right here at LNE & Spa Magazine. Now, as a newly licensed esthetician, I’m excited to bring a renewed sense of purpose and dive even deeper into the world of skincare, technology, and innovation. 

My new role as both editor and esthetician gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to blend hands-on experience with editorial insight, ensuring that our content is more impactful and relevant than ever. The past year, I have really been honing in on what I call my unique skin care philosophy. The only way I have been able to do that is through continuous education, hands-on work with my clients, and an open mind! 

This issue marks a new beginning—one that embraces diverse skincare philosophies and celebrates the unique expertise of all estheticians, united by a common goal: helping clients achieve their best skin. I’m committed to making sure our publication continues to be a platform where education thrives, where innovations in wellness and skincare are spotlighted, and where the expertise of our community shines. 

Together, we will continue to elevate our industry and push the boundaries of what’s possible in beauty and wellness. It’s an honor to be back and to grow alongside such an inspiring community. 

With gratitude and excitement, 

Samantha Garcia
