about us
Building confidence and learning a life skill is empowering.
About the founder
As a teenager I was always interested in natural skincare, which in the 70’s was difficult to source. This fascination inspired me to commence studying and gain a Diploma from the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology. Captivated by a love for studying, I began a long career in Finance. I spent many years working in Corporate Finance, 17 years as a Corporate Treasurer and 6 years as a Director.
Now the Mum of a teenager, I found myself making skincare for the family and returning to my original passion. I realised that many youngsters do not take steps to look after their skin. They don’t really know how to approach it, finding it overwhelming and confusing. Yet most of them have skin problems, simply due to the fact that they are – teenagers.
This is how teen skincare evolved. It started with a desire to give teenagers unbiased information and knowledge on how to manage their own skin and make their own products.
our "Why"
Providing unbiased information about skincare
Teenagers are faced with constant change. Their entire world, including their bodies, are constantly changing. As they steer through discovering who they are, it gives them comfort to know they are in control of something.
To be in control of managing their own skin and knowing how to make products is a life skill. It empowers them. Teen skincare is eager to help teenagers build confidence and self-discipline. We do this by providing the information to create a cost effective, quick and simple skincare routine. The workshops are unique and enable the participants to make their own products, with access to further recipes through this website.
Once teenagers attend the workshops, they gain the skills to manage their own skin and make their own products. This provides an opportunity for them to go into their bathrooms and look after their skin in total privacy. This is particularly valuable to those teenagers who do not want to be seen using or buying skincare.
It cultivates a life-long self-care routine.
