At 5T Beauty Academy, we guide students to understand what beauty in skin truly means. First, we introduce the 10 visible signs of healthy skin using the B.E.S.T. G.L.O.W.S. method. This way, students are able to observe and analyze the skin before deciding on the correct treatment.
Moreover, we use real case photos and client examples so students can identify improvement clearly. As a result, their consultations become more confident and professional. In addition, we include practical exercises, memory tricks, and video lessons to support all learning styles.
Ultimately, this foundation helps students develop both technical skills and critical thinking in skin care — even before they touch a steamer or apply a serum.

Furthermore, we provide simple acronyms and videos to help them retain knowledge. Eventually, this learning style prepares them for real clients and state board exams. In short, we turn beginners into beauty professionals.

Why Transition Matters in Skin Health
Transitioning through each skincare phase is essential. First, we assess the skin. Next, we cleanse and exfoliate based on skin type. Then, we hydrate and protect the skin using products like serums or sunscreen. Finally, we create a home care routine so clients can maintain their glow. As a result, our students learn the full process — not just the steps.
