Event Overview

The Summer Skin Masterclass at Kiehl’s Since 1851 in Bellevue Square transformed Center Court into a center of skincare education on July 20, 2025. Led by Jeremy Heiser, Kiehl’s National Sales Trainer, the two-hour morning session drew skincare enthusiasts eager to learn summer-specific techniques from a recognized industry expert. Heiser brought his extensive knowledge and charismatic teaching style to the event, focusing on the unique challenges that summer weather presents to skin health and appearance. The masterclass was structured to address common concerns like sun damage, increased oil production, and dehydration that many face during the warmer months in the Pacific Northwest.

Attendance exceeded expectations as participants from across Bellevue and neighboring communities gathered for this specialized educational opportunity. The masterclass aimed to be both thorough and approachable, catering to skincare novices and enthusiasts alike. Heiser’s presentation emphasized the science behind summer skincare while translating complex concepts into practical, everyday routines. Throughout the session, he stressed the importance of preventative care rather than just treating summer skin issues after they arise. The event represented Kiehl’s ongoing commitment to community education and customer empowerment through expert knowledge sharing.

Event Experience

Attendees of the Summer Skin Masterclass enjoyed an immersive experience that balanced education with enjoyment. The session began with Jeremy Heiser sharing critical sun protection strategies beyond the basics of sunscreen application, including proper reapplication timing, understanding SPF ratings, and identifying often-missed areas like the ears and back of the neck. Hydration was another key focus, with demonstrations of lightweight yet effective moisturizers and serums that won’t clog pores during humid days. Participants particularly appreciated the hands-on demonstrations showing how to layer products properly for maximum effectiveness without creating a heavy feel on the skin, perfect for Bellevue’s variable summer weather.

Beyond the educational components, the event offered numerous perks that enhanced the overall experience. Attendees sipped refreshing cucumber-infused water and enjoyed light, skin-friendly snacks while networking with fellow skincare enthusiasts. The atmosphere was elevated by exclusive giveaways, including sample kits of Kiehl’s summer essentials and chances to win full-sized products through raffles held throughout the morning. Perhaps most valuable was the opportunity for one-on-one consultations with Kiehl’s specialists, who provided personalized skin analyses and product recommendations tailored to each participant’s specific concerns. Many attendees mentioned that these individualized consultations were the highlight of their experience, offering solutions to summer skin issues they’d struggled with for years.
