The skin care industry is growing, with sales reaching $17 billion in 2007. This growth was driven by the men's skin care market, which grew from $750 million in 2002 to $1.4 billion in 2007. Skin care professionals are also growing as a field, with approximately 153,000 licensed aestheticians in the U.S. Many skin care professionals are relatively new to the field, with 90% having been in the profession for less than 12 years. The Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP) is the largest organization supporting skin care professionals with membership benefits like liability insurance.
