Jacinta Curnow Skin

✨ A little look at what I’ve been up to with Mocha Beauty 🤍

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of writing about some of the things I’m most passionate about over the past year. From the nervous system and skin microbiome, to enzyme impairment, the skin barrier and the very human side of being a skin therapist.

It’s pretty special seeing them all together 🥹

And I think the biggest thing I keep coming back to is this…
Skin health isn’t an either/or conversation.
There’s so much to learn from both the skin itself and what’s happening within the person attached to it. 🤍

A big thank you to Mocha Beauty for letting me share my little corner of skin nerdiness with the industry ✨
Keep them rolling 🤍

Talking about something I’m incredibly passionate about!

70 people, one nervous speaker 🤣

The questions and conversations meant so much!

Ever since graduating beauty college back in 2016, I wanted to be an educator.

My lecturer had moved on to be an educator for a huge brand, I wanted her old job! With only a few months experience in the industry 🤣

When my first brand sales rep went on mat leave, you bet your ass I asked to be her fill in 🤣 (sadly rejected).

Some times I even lay in bed thinking how cool it would be to be a Dermaviduals WA educator 🤣 but what I do know is….

This is where is really began…
My first client education night back in 2022.

12 incredible clients and a barrier I was ready to break down (in words, not exfoliation of course 🤣)

After attending Inside Industry event in Sydney, last expo.
I wrote to Beauty expo back in October!
I pitched my presentations and vision.

What i wasn’t expecting was a yes! 🙌🏼
I believe in my self and what my future was going to bring to this industry!

From the bottom of my heart,
I would like to not only thank Beauty Expo Australia for having me, but also every single person who stopped and listened, asked questions, sent messages, cheered me on or simply showed up!

I am so grateful, and guess what?
We’re only getting started baby!!!
