Happy 2022! It has been another tumultuous year in the thick of a pandemic. However, we got through it and will face the challenges of 2022 with the same determination. 

When this rollercoaster ride began in 2020, we realised that our clients, YOU, the skincare professionals, needed learning opportunities and connections like never before. So, we began to invite professional guest speakers once a month to share their unique expertise, and our Future Beauty Talks were born! These inspiring, FREE education for skin care professionals, online events for skin professionals have continued to thrive, and in this blog, we look back at what we offered our clients in 2021. 

We are so thankful to all the speakers for giving their time and knowledge.

Later in the year, Chiza returned for a fascinating talk on menopause. She shared how oestrogen impacts the health of the skin and her top 5 strategies for managing menopause.
