In 2009, she became a skin care educator and product representative and enjoyed empowering other estheticians and industry professionals to understand skin care from an ingredient standpoint, rather than a product specific view. She achieved an Organic Skin Care Formulation Certificate in 2014 and an Organic Skin Care Formulation Diploma from Formula Botanica in 2018.   Ella has spent many hours researching ingredients, understanding how and where they are sourced, phytochemistry, histological access, and complimentary compounds for intentional skin benefits.   She has written articles for ASCP Skin Deep magazine, Les Nouvelle Esthétiques & Spa magazine, American Spa magazine, CBD Health and Wellness magazine, Topical Magazine, and the popular blog Lipgloss and Aftershave. In addition to running a skin care practice, Ella has consulted for several skin care lines (including several successful CBD brands) under the umbrella of Ella Cress Skin Care and founded a comprehensive consulting group in 2019, the HHP Collective.   To connect with Tracy Donley, ASCP Executive Director, click here    To join Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) click here    Questions about Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) membership or professional liability insurance for estheticians call 800-789-0411   If you are interested in adding Business Personal Property (BPP) insurance to your membership click here    Follow Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) on Instagram    To access ASCP’s extensive Back to Practice guide click here    ASCP Skin Deep Magazine (digital edition)     Random Resources   The Goonies   Karate Kid   Clinique V (80s eye shadow fashion)   Tarte Maneater mascara   Michael Moore, Moore for Life   Michael Moore, Eye Shadow Tutorial    Kim Kardashian contour line, KKW   Magnetic SL   Peanut Butter Whiskey   Chambord   Recipe Peanut Butter & Jelly Old-Fashioned By SKREWBALL WHISKEY INGREDIENTS 5 oz Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey 75 oz Rye Whiskey 4 Dashes of Angostura Bitters 1 Luxardo maraschino cherry, for garnish Orange peel, for garnish DIRECTIONS Combine whiskeys and bitters over ice in a cocktail glass.
