    I have worn make-up for nearly 30 years, and have gotten make-overs and advice from make-up counters, Sephora, and online tutorials. However, as I get older I’ve started to wonder if there are better products and techniques out there for me. I’m so glad I went to Shara! I learned SO much valuable information from Maggie. She addressed my concerns and showed me techniques and tricks I was unaware of, and I now feel confident that I have the right makeup and tools. My only suggestion is that they provide a printed diagram that can be used to draw in where makeup should go/makes notes. Although they do provide a sheet with instructions, of sorts, I personally feel like a visual representation would be more helpful. It was a lot of information.

    The class was great and informative. Marla provided information on soap making and addressed all our questions. The first half of the class was going over the process, how to calculate , and ingredients. The second half was the hands on with making the soap that we took home. Would recommend this class for those wanting to learn.

Discover the Best Skin Care Classes in NYC

Skin care involves a number of different practices that help maintain the health and appearance of your skin. Everyone’s skin is unique, which means that everyone needs a different skin care routine. In general, though, a skin care routine involves cleansing to remove oil and impurities, and moisturizing to keep the skin hydrated and help it maintain elasticity. It is also important to use sun protection to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. In addition to these steps, many people use a variety of other practices and products, including exfoliation, eye creams, masks, serums, and treatments. 

Why You Should Learn Skin Care in NYC

One important reason to learn about skin care is so that you can maintain healthy skin. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and requires special care. By learning about proper skin care, you can improve the appearance and health of your skin, and treat common problems like dryness, sensitivity, or acne. 

Skin care is also about prevention. If you understand how to properly care for your skin you can prevent problems from developing. You can also reduce the signs of aging. A major part of skin care is understanding the ingredients, practices, and treatments that can combat the effects of aging, and help keep your skin looking youthful and radiant.

Finally, learning about skin care can be empowering. There are an overwhelming number of skin care products and treatments out there, and by educating yourself about skin care, you’ll be able to make more informed choices about how to care for your skin. The skin care field is constantly evolving, so learning helps you stay up-to-date on the latest research and trends.

In-Person Skin Care Classes & Schools in NYC

There are many different options if you’re looking for an in-person skin care class in New York City. The Back Porch Soap Company, which is located in the Upper West Side, runs both soap- and candle-making classes. It has a class called Organic Body Butters, Scrubs and Balms, which costs $248, and runs for two and a half hours. Students learn how to make their own botanical skincare products. They will make organic lotion bars, healing herbal balms, and emulsified body scrubs. This class is led by skin care expert Marla Bosworth, who is CEO of the Back Porch Company. She teaches students how to formulate products, incorporate botanicals and herbs, and customize recipes. Students will make their own whipped body butter, organic body scrub, and skin balm or lotion bar.

Students who want to learn about skin care may also be interested in a makeup class. Chic Studios–School of Makeup runs a class called Beauty Makeup, which covers fundamental makeup techniques. Students receive a total of 30 hours of comprehensive classroom experience, makeup application instruction, and theory. Some of the topics covered are: hygiene, foundations application, brow shaping, color theory, day makeup, evening makeup, false lash applications, eye makeup, and highlighting. Students who take this class receive a basic kit with a brush set, and a skin care set, and they also get a certificate upon completion. Chic Studios is a national artistry makeup school, with locations in New York City, Los Angeles, and Denver. This class has four sessions, and costs $1,700. 

Makeup & Skincare Workshops also offers a skin care class in New York City. Makeup and Skincare for Beginners, which costs $149, and is designed for women who want to improve their signature look. Students learn makeup techniques that flatter their natural features, and also learn about how to properly care for their skin without using irritating or stripping ingredients. The skin segment of the class covers shopping for skin care products, cleansing and exfoliating techniques, the top five skin-damaging practices, morning vs night skin care, and moisturizers and serums. In the makeup segment, students learn how to select a foundation, eye shadow techniques, how to highlight and contour, brow definition, and lip techniques. Students should bring all of their current makeup and skin products. The class also includes a 20-minute Skype session, where the instructor can answer any questions that did not get addressed during class time.

Another New York City in-person class option is the Skin Care Workshop: Make Your Own Serums,Toners & Masks, which is offered by Remedies Herb Shop. This is a beginner class, and costs $110, plus a $24 materials fee. Students learn about ingredients, and techniques to address their skin care concerns, and they formulate, create, and take home a mask, toner, and facial serum that is customized for their skin. They will also receive a handout with how-to information such as recipes, safety guidelines, and supplier lists. The class is taught by Jo Anne Richards who is an herbalist, formulator, and teacher at Remedies Herb Shop. The shop is located in Brooklyn, and offers organic and ethically-sourced products. 

The New York Botanical Garden also offers skin care classes, including Herbal Skin Care: Natural Lip Balm & Body Butter. This class costs $69. Students use a base of shea, mango, or cacao, and create a moisturizer for their body or lips. Their product will last for months, without having any preservatives in it. Students take home a body butter and a lip balm that they create.

Virtual Skin Care Classes & Schools

Virtual Skin care classes are also a great way to learn about this subject. While you’ll probably have to provide your own materials with a virtual class, you will get real-time instruction and the opportunity to ask questions, just like with an in-person class. Many people love virtual learning because they don’t have to commute to a classroom. Instead, they can learn from home or any other location that they want.

East Los Angeles College offers a virtual class called Cold Process Soap Making, which costs $39. In this class, students learn the cold process soap-making method, and will be able to make handmade soaps in their own kitchens. Both beginners who have never made soap, and more advanced students who want to learn something new about soap-making, can take this class. When they register, students should request a materials list. East Los Angeles College was founded in 1945 and serves about 30,000 students with both in-person and online classes. There are an average of 25 people in this class.

East Los Angeles College also runs a virtual class called How to Make Body Butter (Cream/Lotion). Tuition is $39, and students learn to make body butter. The instructor covers techniques and ingredients, and students can customize their body butters with a variety of scents or therapeutic ingredients. Students should request a list of required materials when they register.

El Camino College, a public community college about 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, also offers a virtual body butter class. DIY Body Butters is $69, and has an average size of about 20 people. Students learn how to transform dry or uncomfortable skin into smooth, soft, hydrated skin, with homemade body butters. They can add their own scents and therapeutic ingredients.

Private Group Skin Care Classes in NYC

Self-care classes on topics like skin care can be a lot of fun to take as a group. If you’re trying to book a group activity for a birthday, team-building, or another special event, consider making it a private group skin care class through CourseHorse. You won’t have to register when booking with CourseHorse, and there are no booking fees. You’ll receive a confirmation of your event within 24 hours, and in most cases, you can make changes up to 72 hours before the event, as long as you meet the minimum group size.

CourseHorse also offers other group classes related to wellness. For instance, Virtual Art and Meditation is a workshop designed to help relieve stress. A professional instructor leads participants through a breathing meditation. At the end, each person selects a color palette and a mandala page, and spends time coloring with the group. The workshop is $80, and lasts for 75 minutes. All participants receive a coloring book and a set of gel pens ahead of time.

The Virtual Vision Board Workshop is another group class designed to improve wellness. In this class, participants work on a vision board, as a way to make their dreams more tangible and attainable. That board is a representation of their vision of their future self. A professional artist instructor leads the class, and all participants receive the supplies they need to create a vision board, ahead of time. That includes a corkboard, push pins, and inspirational pictures. Up to 100 people can take this class at once, and it costs $100 per person. It is an hour long.


If you want to hold your event in person, many of CourseHorse’s providers can come to your home or office, or hold the event at an external venue. Virtual events can be run through Zoom, Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, or WebEx. To get more information about private group skin care classes, or about other options, contact CourseHorse.
