Emma’s story begins eighteen years ago in New Zealand. Like most of us, Emma had concerns about the health and appearance of her skin. In this instance, she suffered from acne.

Leaving behind a trail of failed products and ineffective solutions, Emma found herself battling more than blemishes – she was fighting to maintain her overall being. The health of her skin had both physical and psychological impacts, and she knew it was time to do something about it.

From here, Emma’s affinity with Psychodermatology was born, and effortlessly blended with a love of effective, science-backed skincare. Tireless research, work, and testing (on herself!) resulted in the original Dr. Dermacare system launching nearly two decades ago.

Emma learned first-hand that overcoming a skin condition takes more than a clear complexion. While we work to fade physical scars and imperfections, we rarely think to treat the psychological scars. In fact, many people don’t even know they’re there. That’s where Psychodermatology comes into play.

To put it simply, Psychodermatology studies how the skin and mind interact. ‘Psycho’ focuses on healing mental or emotional side effects, while ‘Dermatology’ focuses on physically treating the condition at skin level. You can find out more about that here.

Armed with a Masters’ Degree in Psychology, certification in Usui Ryoho Reiki, and a commitment to bettering wellness levels globally, Emma has set out to make a meaningful change in the lives of her customers through products that combine the most effective ingredients with the best self-care practices.

Every new creation is fueled by purpose, requiring its own level of thoughtful application that begins to form a wellbeing ritual. That ritual can produce amazing results for our mind thanks to serotonin boosting properties, proven to reduce the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress across the board.
