More Than Skin Deep: How Courtney Sykes Is Empowering Women Through Skincare and Science

Leave it to a power player like Courtney Sykes to create opportunities to uplift women everywhere she goes. Her health and wellness empire is built on giving women education, opportunities, and community. Now, she has written the definitive skincare bible, The Skin Boss, that sheds light on the philosophy behind all of her endeavors: the more you know, the better you do. Sykes goes deep, beyond the surface-level obsession with flawless skin, and to the importance of connection, education, and empowerment.
As the founder of Southeastern Health & Wellness Institute, one of the largest nationally accredited esthetics, wellness, and health sciences education institution in the United States, Sykes has dedicated her career to creating a community where women are seen, heard, and empowered.
“I think people think skincare is a surface concern of women,” Sykes says. “But it’s really about understanding your body, embracing who you are, and empowering yourself with knowledge. All women are stronger when we embrace that.”
