    Cover to Care with SkyLee Edmiston

    Connect with us via text! What happens when compassion collides with clinical skill and a stubborn belief that “anything is possible”? We sat down with aesthetician and educator SkyLee Edmiston — Dermascope’s 2025 cover contest winner — to trace her path from beauty-obsessed student to oncology-trained practitioner and nonprofit founder. SkyLee takes us inside oncology aesthetics with clear, practical insight, shares the soft skills that matter as much as protocols, and unpacks the DERMASCOPE cover journey and what it teaches about career growth. If you’ve wondered how to build a meaningful skin care career, one rooted in skill, empathy, and sustainable growth, this conversation will nudge you forward. If the show resonated, subscribe, leave a quick review, and pass it along to a fellow pro who could use the inspiration.
