About Dermalogica: professional-grade skin care since 1986
Dermalogica is a clinical skin care brand used by skin care professionals around the world. In 1983, founder Jane Wurwand identified a gap in professional skin care training and created the International Dermal Institute to set skin therapists up for success. Wurwand launched Dermalogica in 1986, following a desire to provide skin therapists with best-in-class skin care products and education. Bucking industry trends in favour of efficacious formulas, a minimalist look and commitment to skin health, not beauty. Dermalogica has grown to be the leading professional skin care brand, used by more than 100,000 skin therapists in more than 100 countries.
Today, education continues to be at the root of the company, providing skills-based training in advanced technologies and services for a global community of skin therapists who have one common goal: to ensure healthy skin for all. Our Professional Skin Therapists create highly customised regimens and services for every individual client because we know that no two skin conditions are the same.
Dermalogica products are made in the USA with its global operations based in Los Angeles. To learn about Dermalogica, visit dermalogica.co.uk

Skin Philosophy Training was founded by Annalouise Kenny in 2011. The industry of aesthetics was expanding rapidly and there were, at the time, no schools focused on educating therapist in advanced treatments like laser, peels and needling.
Annalouise by the age of 25,had been working in the industry 7 years, worked around the world and had already set up 3 successful clinics, concentrating on just advanced skin & laser treatments. During this set up all staff were provided with supplier training, 3 hours in length, to then treat clients with laser and peels. Annalouise regularly trained her staff and recognised that there was not enough training provided independently. Leaving her career in 2011, she set up the first ever school focused only on training therapists in advanced laser & skin treatments.
