For Jessica Clarke, it changed everything. She was doing sales in Nashville and wasn't happy. Skincare had always been something personal to her, so she made the call, invested most of her savings and enrolled in esthetician school.In a 2023 interview with Canvas Rebel, Jessica Clarke opened up about what came next."I then spent another year shadowing and learning from other professionals who all encouraged me to open my own studio. Another huge risk. I was scared no one would come and I would invest all of this money into something that didn't work, but every one told me it was now or never," she shared.She jumped anyway. For months, Jessica Clarke sat in her studio seven days a week."Soon, my work spoke for itself and less than 2 years after taking that risk, I have been able to hire an employee and have a waitlist for new clients," she added.Jessica Clarke reveals the skin journey and family scare that shaped her career: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostSkincare wasn't just a career choice for Jessica Clarke. It was personal. She dealt with cystic acne all through high school and college, going through Accutane and just about every other treatment available at the time. The real turning point came when her grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. In her interview with Canvas Rebel, Clarke shared what that moment made her do."It wasn't until my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and I started to look into the ingredients of our every day products that I realized that what I was putting on my skin might have been causing more harm than good," she shared.That sent her down a different path entirely. Instead of chasing the next treatment, she started looking at lifestyle factors and what they were actually doing to her skin."I decided to dive deeper into lifestyle factors that can affect skin and was able to heal mine truly for the long-haul," Clarke added.
