Nicole Bassett, Dermalogica Expert Series: A Skin Treatment Defined Dec 17, 2017

Show notes

The Dermalogica approach to skin care and skin treatments has raised the bar in the industry. The focus is all about education, personalization and human touch. We see skin services as a critical aspect in achieving and maintaining healthy skin, not as a luxury. Even the way we talk about skin treatments is different, such as Skin Therapist and Skin Treatment. To us, these names reinforce the value of a professional service and the education and personalization that goes into each and every step by highly trained skin therapists.

This episode gives us an inside look into skin treatments from professional Skin Therapist, Nicole Bassett. Nicole is with Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Wheaton, IL, and she has reached Dermalogica Expert status. She is also a current recipient of the 100 Hour Post Graduate Diploma from the International Dermal Institute. Nicole shares with us her professional approach to skin services, the defining difference of a Dermalogica skin treatment and her best skin care tips and advice.

Show notes

This is part two of our story when classic entrepreneurship and a passion for skin care changed an industry forever. In Los Angeles, 1983, Jane and Raymond Wurwand saw a gap in skin therapy education and founded Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute; which are game-changing brands within the professional skin care industry.

In this episode, Jane shares her advice to new entrepreneurs, the importance of developing a skill set, and “if you can see the greatest pain in an industry, you’ve just spotted the greatest opportunity.” Jane also takes us on the journey of how she established FITE (Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship), a social impact initiative that helps women and girls on the path to entrepreneurship by providing access to education, vocational training, small loans and leadership skills.

Jane Wurwand, Founder Series: The Dermalogica Story Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

This is the story of where entrepreneurship and a passion for skin care come together and an industry is changed forever. It started in Los Angeles, 1983, where Jane Wurwand, a tenured, United Kingdom-trained skin therapist new to the American "esthetician" industry, recognized that continuing skin therapy education was practically non-existent in the United States. After opening a small classroom in Marina del Rey, California under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI), Jane invited licensed skin therapists to the postgraduate training to help make them competitive in the business.

In 1986, Dermalogica was born, as it didn’t take long for Jane to realize no product line embraced her belief of skin health as opposed to "beauty," so she developed her own. The vision was clear – a product line free of common irritants and artificial ingredients and most importantly one that would improve skin health. With more than 100,000 skin therapists trained and available in over 80 countries, Dermalogica products are the number one choice of skin care professionals and consumers worldwide.
