Community over competition is the idea that collaboration and mutual support can help everyone thrive more than rivalry ever would. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella are joined by the inspiring Tina Buckley, an esthetician, educator, and the lead instructor for Skin Script Skincare in Arizona. She emphasizes that shifting your mindset from competition to community is crucial for long-term success in the beauty and wellness world.

About Tina Buckley:

Tina Buckley, esthetician, lead educator and product development specialist, has always loved skin care. She was the girl who woke up early to do her skin care routine throughout elementary school and high school. Inspired by her mother, Tina is committed to self-care with a holistic approach.

Arriving to Arizona in 2010, Tina selected Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics to begin her journey in professional skin care and well-being. Over the next several years, she mastered full body massage, reiki, and esthetics, and became an educator in these modalities.

What sets Tina apart is her extensive product and ingredient knowledge. For her, complete immersion in the product includes intimate connection with performance, functional elements, and how it interacts and enhances others.

Recently, Tina achieved her long-term dual goal of owning her own practice—Ritus Skincare in Phoenix—and being named Arizona lead instructor for Skin Script Skincare in Chandler. She is grateful to do the two things she loves most about her profession while presenting her authentic self.
