The DERMASCOPE cover is an elusive goal for many skin care professionals. For decades, this notoriety was reserved for AIA Legends, but as the times change, so must the potential opportunities. The Cover Contest is a staff passion project that stemmed from the overwhelming need for conventional representation of the individuals who make up the beloved professional skin care industry. While there will always be the Danné Montague-Kings, Dr. Puglieses, and Dr. Mark Leeses of the world, the Cover Contest was created for aestheticians just like Sharon Subdhan.

Sharon Subdhan is the owner of Skin by Sharon located in Queens Village, New York. She has been a licensed aesthetician since 2018, graduating from the Christine Valmy School of Esthetics. She is also the reigning winner of 2021’s Cover Contest.

Sharon was first introduced to the magazine as February’s feature for The Monthly Follow. Having just started to take her Instagram web presence seriously, she phoned our editors as a ball of excitement. From there, the team of DERMASCOPE kept a watchful eye on her timeless New York style with a contemporary twist. When it came time to select the December cover after hours of deliberation, the team unanimously could not ignore our love for Sharon and her beautiful, authentic, and unique persona – and we know our readers will not be far behind.

Sharon Subdhan’s story may not be an identical match to the countless aesthetic practitioners within the industry, but she embodies a piece of the collective. This industry is made up of many colorful walks of life of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds, and DERMASCOPE is lucky enough to showcase Sharon’s budding career that is sure to make bigger waves as she grows into the seasoned professional she is becoming.
