Hi, I'm Kimmie!
Nearly 10 years ago, I knew little about the skincare industry and culture. In fact, I took issue with the impossible standard of the beauty industry. And as someone who struggled with cystic acne, I found many products on the market to be underwhelming and often irritating.
​
After a one of a kind apprenticeship focusing on acne, I can now tell you nothing I tried for acne, would have worked. My apprenticeship could be summed up from my first lesson -
​
"I need you to be able to pick up any product,
tell me what's in it that's doing what it claims,
and what is potentially hurting people"
​
I intend to grow this business in the light of my first lesson. The health of your skin, your immunological barrier, comes first and foremost. I won't perform a service or use a product which compromises that mission.
