Sarah McKibbin - Founder & Owner of Skincare Doctor Direct
(Skin Therapist BSc Hons, Student Dermatology Nurse MSc)
PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED SKIN THERAPIST AND STUDENT DERMATOLOGY NURSE
30 years industry experience! I have been involved in the skin care industry since I was 15 years old when my nurse and skin specialist trained mother opened a clinic in Northern Ireland.
After studying a Diploma in Beauty & Skin Therapy I went on to study a BSc Hons science degree and entered the pharmaceutical industry. This opened my eyes to clinical data and science to create change within the body.
THE WORLD OF SCIENCE AND SKIN CARE
For the past 10 years I have been so fortunate to have worked with the best cosmeceutical and medical grade skincare companies from around the world, including America, France, Spain, UK and Australia.
I have gained so much experience working with these top brands, I was obsessed with their ingredients, texture, results and most importantly how my clients felt about them. I would develop a bespoke routine for our clinic and online customers based on their individual needs.
WHY SKINCARE DOCTOR?
I wanted our clients to have evidence based skincare products in a streamlined, affordable way. This would simplify their routine and also cut through the social media noise, allowing the true professionals in our field to advise on what clients skin really needs. During this time we had also just come out of the global pandemic where supply chains and freight costs were escalating, resulting in more and more price increases for products with no added benefits, delivery systems and ingredients!
The idea of creating a superior medical grade skincare line for professional medical clinics, made and manufactured here in Australia was born!
