Rio Newton has offered tips for skincare when she wrote her work for a long time. "The beauty market, and particularly the industry of skincare is so that it's extremely confusing for those that aren't experts in this field to sort through," she says. "I enjoyed every moment of how fulfilling it was helping consumers understand the market and discover products which make sense to them."

In 2017, a viral moment brought that message to a bigger public than ever. The actress shared the details of her skincare routine after an unfortunate flare-up with her acne that was shared through friends and friends, before eventually getting to New York Magazine. Since the time, Rio has gone to the school of estheticians, created the company of a skincare consultant, and published a book on the topic.

Moving from viral to business plan

Rio's beauty routine that went viral was a start, but the transformation of that moment into an opportunity was a more and more nervous journey.

"When I graduated from esthetician school, I knew I wanted to build an enterprise that was more intimate and individualized," Rio says. "I was absolutely terrified like I believe many people are as they begin a new business venture."

"When I started my business my journey, I was keen to make sure that I had structured my consulting to be as helpful possible, so I did about 20 or so free consultations for friends and family before I launched and asked for their suggestions," she adds. "Because of this, I was able to iron out the kinks once I began to get my first few paid customers. This was crucial, since it ensured that when I went live my business, I'd had plenty of training and was able to launch my venture with a lot of faith."
