Any advice for a new Esty on any websites that will give good honest reviews of products and machines?

I am a newly licensed Esthetician...I am getting ready to swing into full gear with my business, but very nervous on narrowing down the best product line to carry and which spa equipment to purchase..I am located in NY...anybody with information to give is greatly appreciated!!! I know i would like to have an all natural line and an anti aging line.....oh, and before i forget, anyone have opinions on a great chemical peel line? there is SO many to choose from!!! HELP!!! :)

P.S..and is it true that the Diamontone Microdermabrasion Machine is THE best? I have been googling different options, but for some reason, i can't find any reputable sites that offer PROFESSIONAL machines...ALOT of at home ones...(which do nothing for us, as we know! ;)

Have fun! I can spend hours on this site. They also have a sunscreen guide that's worth checking out. I am only advocating titanium and zinc as sunscreen ingredients right now...

Comment by Christina I on May 5, 2013 at 3:06pm: Now ladies....do you find owning a microcurrent machine is in demand with your clients? and the oxygen and LED....so much to look at on their site, but want to be SURE to make a smart wise investment! :)

Comment by Susan Ferguson on May 4, 2013 at 7:11pm: I purchased my equipment from Skin For Life. It is a great company. All made in the US and its parent company makes medical equipment that I have been familiar with as an EMT. Great customer service and training. I looked for quite some time and am very happy I chose to go with their equipment. They also have an awesome product line that I am starting to add to my practice. These are all professional machines, not home products.
