Face Reality celebrated its 5th annual Acne Expert of the Year contest and announced the winner, Amada Taveras, at its exclusive Acne Expert event in Las Vegas on the heels of the International Esthetics, Cosmetics & Spa Conference (IECSC Las Vegas). The Acne Expert of the Year contest is a celebration of the Face Reality Acne Expert Community and its commitment to helping acne clients get clear skin for good using Face Reality Clear Skin Method. The brand welcomes submissions that demonstrate the talent of Acne Experts and their ability to treat acne with a level of nuance and care that doesn’t just focus on the external results, but also the life-long confidence their clients develop with the help of their dedicated Acne Expert. It takes a team to get clear, healthy skin; with guidance and support provided by the Acne Expert and the home care execution by the client—both deserve recognition for their hard work and commitment with exciting prizes.
Face Reality reviewed over 450 submissions this year and underwent the difficult task of narrowing down to 1 winner and 5 finalists. This is the 5th year of the contest, and we are excited to share this is our first year in which we partnered with a publication to choose our winner. Nicole Altavilla, Head of Content at American Spa joined our panel of judges.
Face Reality is excited to announce Amada Taveras, a New York State licensed esthetician, as the 2024 Acne Expert of the Year. Owner of Mia Skin Bar, Amada specializes in customized, and results-driven treatments, leaving clients with a keen understanding of their skin and the proper steps on how to take care of it with a customized routine. With three years' experience, Amada prides herself in having extensive knowledge on top medical aesthetic treatments acne control, microneedling, laser hair removal and chemical peels.
Amada caught the immediate attention of the judging panel initially through her thorough explanation of protocol, attention to detail, and of course, the stunning results reached by her and client, Norma. But what made a lasting impression was the very clear connection she fosters between herself, her clients, and the Acne Expert community though the relatable, educational content she shares on social media, to her 1:1 esthetician course to help set up peers for success.
The winner of Acne Expert of the Year is automatically inducted into the Face Reality Ambassador Program. In their role, Ambassadors extend their expertise to help shape company offerings, education, and represent the brand in various aspects. Face Reality is thrilled for Amada to join this talented group of Acne Experts as they embark on an exciting year.
