After successfully working in stores in both the UK and the US and as the UK licensed beauty therapist, brand trainer and top sales producer for hugely popular brands, I got fed up with selling and listening to lengthy routines of products as if every skin type fits into one box!

Not every skin type can handle all the percentages of active ingredients nor do all skin types need particular ingredients, including some of the highly imaginary and sometimes skin damaging brand stories which I always felt had an inadequate reinforcement of aftercare and most important explanation to the clients as to why it is of such importance.

So many brands are using instant gratification ingredients such as Glycolic acid, harsh Retinoids and many others that create photosensitivity. This approach can create havoc on the clients’ skin barrier with misuse or poor guidance, which was a real issue on the shop floor. Having full knowledge of this I advised always the correct way to my clients regardless of the teaching from brands, I would tell them to take it slowly and get their skins acclimated but most importantly start to first discipline themselves with strict use of SPF, I guess that's what made me differ and be so successful in sales, I liked to educate and work slowly as if I am in a spa setting always, I enjoyed to give my time during work hours and even after hours by being just a phone-call or a text away because that's just the right way to sell skincare.

My mission was to prove you do not need to invest so much time or money to have healthy skin.

Originally I wanted to create a simple yet effective serum based on all my years of research in Antioxidants, shielding and preserving the skin from the biggest reason for premature aging skin which is UV damage, I looked at many clinical studies confirming that topical AHA’S do enhance photosensitivity and damage the skins DNA and could cause cancer! Yet shocked to see companies would continue to add more and more to their everyday products.
Taking into consideration the new research linking Alcohol consumption and sun sensitivity and cancers with the poor use of consumer application of SPF, Is a huge As the founder of Real Skin Retinue, I have deep concerns about young skin and All skin health and its future.

As I have worked in beauty stores, I have seen firsthand the severe consequences that can occur when people use skin care products without proper guidance. Just like many other organs of the human body, the skin is also an organ that needs to be treated with care.
