The use of evidence is something that is quite prevalent in this genre. In order for each piece in the genre to reach its full potential, it has to be back up with the proper evidence. For example, if you take a piece that is filled with information that has no evidence to prove it true, it is likely that the audience will not fully trust what is being said. Now on the other hand, if something is backed up with evidence, it helps prove what is being said. The articles that were specifically looked at for the genre, used evidence such as reaching out to those who are familiar with having a skincare routine and real-life dermatologists. Concluding evidence from a diverse group of people helps pool all information possible to come down to a conclusion. Once a conclusion arises, it allows the person who conducted the research to inform others of their findings. Now looking on the other side, speaking to dermatologists is something that is very helpful. Dermatologists are much higher up than estheticians, which means they have a lot of knowledge to offer. The article that talked to dermatologists used what they had to say and offer as their evidence. In conclusion, there are many different forms of evidence that can be used in this genre, and when used properly, they are extremely beneficial.

Although none of the chosen pieces came out and stated who their intended audience was, it is quite clear what group of people they were aiming for. All pieces were directing their information to those who were in the skincare field. This could be both dermatologists and estheticians. The audience could also be those who wish to go into that field, like me. Reading these articles specifically and this genre, in general, has allowed me to get some insight into what to expect in this career. It has also allowed me to visualize some difficulties I may experience and how I can better my knowledge in the future.

When one is talking about transitions, it can be difficult to define exactly what that is. In this genre you may see in bold areas that indicate a transition in between topics, or you may see no indication at all. Two out of three articles that I referenced to gain knowledge on this genre had a visible transition in between areas of the topic. I found these articles much easier to follow compared to the other article that did not have clear transitions. In my opinion, I believe that information filled articles should have clear transitions because it allows the audience to jump from area to area to gain the highest potential of knowledge. With that being said, the one article that did not include clear transitions, was not less of the other two. The information that it included was still prevalent and very helpful, it was just more difficult to comprehend at times.

As I have stated previously, there were several websites I viewed to gain some knowledge about the genre used in the world of an esthetician. After gathering an immense amount of information, I have found that the genre that is widely used is to help better those in this career field.

In most cases, when looking at something for the first time, you will always be confused. For the most part, the articles I found were not too difficult to understand, but there were times when I began to question myself. For starters, there were some areas in a couple of the articles that I found myself having a difficult time comprehending. This was because I am not familiar with the language they use in this career field. Due to this, I had to reread several areas throughout each passage and even look up definitions to gain a better sense of what the authors were saying. Overall, I would say the biggest area of confusion I faced was distinguishing a clear genre. It took many different articles a lot of time to figure out what exactly the genre was in this career field. After figuring it out, it actually became quite simple.

What is the purpose of the genre?:
The purpose of the genre is to inform those in the career field about certain topics. The pieces I chose to gain a better insight into the genre focused on different areas of the skin care field. One-piece focused on how the pandemic changed the daily facial skincare habits people had. Another focused on how you can please your clients. Lastly, another piece determined the myths and truths of skin care in aging females. It is quite clear that each piece focused on different topics, but the overall focus was on skin care itself. The purpose of each piece was to allow others to read the information they had to offer in order to better their expertise in the career. For example, one could read about the myths and truths of aging females and come to a conclusion about the steps your patient should take to prevent fine lines and wrinkles (Neill, 2012). Another could read about different perspectives in dermatology and find the proper tools to better please a client during their visit. Overall, digging deeper into this type of genre will allow you, as an esthetician, to better your knowledge in the skin care industry.

To become a general esthetician, it does not take much schooling. Typically, you can find an institution where you can receive your certificate in just one semester. Although you will be doing some bookwork, throughout your schooling, most tasks you will be doing will be hands-on. With that being said, you may be wondering how is there a type of genre related to estheticians specifically. As we all know, everything in our world is evolving and changing. Skincare also falls under that category. There are always new products coming out or even new ways to complete a task that you perform on your client. In order to perform well as an esthetician, you must stay up to date on all of these things. Specifically, the genre I found for this career, related to skincare in aging females, how the worldwide shutdown impacted skincare habits and how to manage patient expectations.
Although the three areas I listed above focus on different aspects, they all generally relate back to skincare. The genre is similar in many different ways such as the use of language, reaching out to patients, and most importantly how one can take this information and help further themselves in this career field.

The overall use of language in each article was quite effective. When talking about these articles in specific, they were easy to both read and comprehend. With that being said, I searched for an extended amount of time in order to find articles that I understood. This genre can be quite complex, which in the end makes it difficult for those who are not fluent in the language used in this field. Areas of the genre use words and phrases that would be unfamiliar to the general public, but it is possible to find pieces that are intended for everyone to grasp onto. Taking into account the complex language that you would find in most articles in the skin care field, it is best to say that they are geared to those who are currently working in this industry, as I stated previously.

What is an Esthetician:
Although most of you reading this are familiar with the career, for those who are not, an esthetician is someone who is trained to be a technician that specializes in skin beautification. They help their clients by cleaning, beautifying, and maintaining their skin and face. The job of an esthetician comes with many different tasks. You must first evaluate your client's skin condition and determine what recommendations you have to help them. By doing so, you will recommend different skincare products to use such as lotion, facial cleansers, and moisturizers. Another task you will find yourself doing as an esthetician is waxing or plucking unwanted hair. All of these tasks once brought together, will help you achieve your biggest goal of all and that is, satisfying your client.

How does one find this genre?:
As I previously stated, when it comes to esthetician schooling, only a small portion is focused on bookwork. This does not mean it is difficult to find resources to help you improve. As someone who hopes to go into the career field, it is evident that you have to evolve with the new ways of accomplishing tasks and stay up to date on new information about skincare. Whether that is finding different studies that have been conducted or even just reading general information about the skin. This genre is widely distributed. You can find your own information on the web as you please, but always note to find scholarly sources. There are many websites out there with misinformation that could lead you down a poor path. You could also search for different books to help you specifically, there is an endless amount of them out there. Another way to find this type of genre in your career specifically is to ask the person you work under. As an esthetician, you can find jobs in several different workplaces such as a dermatology office, or even a spa. If you were to be working under a dermatologist, most would be more than willing to help you find different sources to further your education.

This example is a bit different from what I have previously mentioned. It still ties in with the genre because everything is involved with helping those in the career field improve. The document above is a basic skin analysis chart. Analyzing the skin is a crucial part as an esthetician. This will help those who are just getting started in their career. After viewing this, I would suggest pondering on your own to compare different ones that other estheticians use.
