It’s been a little over a week since I returned home from the 2016 Beauty Expo in Sydney, and my feet have barely touched the ground. The Expo this year was incredibly inspiring, and I have so many new and exciting products, technology and learning to share with you all!
The Expo lineup was amazing, with literally hundreds of exhibitors from around Australia and the globe, numerous seminars, workshops and demonstrations, the Dermal Therapy Conference, Skincare Sanctuary and much, much more. I was introduced to the latest in skincare, nail technology, mineral makeup, spray tan products and cosmeceuticals. International makeup artist Rae Morris was there and gave some very inspiring demonstrations. Other key events included presentations on acne treatment, skincare and nutrition and anti-ageing. One of my favourites was Man vs Machine; and intensive workshop on how to combine the latest beauty compounds and technologies to create case-by-case tailored skin treatments to help clients reach their full skin potential. I love to learn! And the Man vs Machine workshop really challenged me to think outside the box in conventional beauty therapy.
I’m very excited and proud to introduce you all to the amazing new products and technology that I will be bringing into the salon at Alpine Beginnings. A new mineral makeup will soon be available to all of my clients. I’ve tried so many different makeup products over the last year, trying to find something that fits my philosophy of organic, Australian made and of the highest quality…. Soon to be unveiled at the next Alpine Beginnings Beauty Open Night in November….
There were some favourites from last year’s Expo as well. I can happily report that I have re-stocked the Alpine Beginnings shelves with the ever-popular LightStim LED light therapy units. Since introducing LightStim after last year’s Beauty Expo, I have seen amazing results with this product in improving skin tone, texture, reducing wrinkles, aiding healing and reduction in scar tissue. So expect the latest batch of LED units to walk out the door! Get in quick!
I am constantly amazed and awed by the blurring of lines between medical science and today’s beauty therapy. Skin health and natural beauty really do shine from within, and today’s beauty therapist needs to take a wholistic approach to client treatments.
My action-packed Expo weekend also included the Professional Beauty Solutions Conference, which was being held at the same time. PBS supply the amazing La Cinica Skincare cosmeceutical range and sunescape tanning, which I’m proud stock at Alpine Beginnings. PBS support a range of other great products as well, and I was fascinated to learn what they had to offer.
It was here that I was very privileged to spend time with Janine Tait, founder and creator of Bestow Beauty. Janine is a leader in Dermo-Nutrition, a world-wide scientific trend linking nutrition and beauty. She founded Bestow to be able to treat skin at a cellular level; Bestow Beauty’s philosophy is that inner health leads to outer beauty. As I listened to her story, I found so much of what she said really made sense, and perfectly supports the Alpine Beginnings motto “Inspiring Wellness Through Beauty”. Watch this space, as I will definitely be incorporating Bestow Beauty into the Alpine Beginnings range.
I also attended some fascinating seminars on marketing and social media, so expect some fun things to be happening on the Alpine Beginnings Beauty website and facebook page! I will also be implementing a new online booking system, which will make booking your appointment at Alpine Beginnings so much easier. Stay tuned for new product launches and fun events over the coming months.

At Alpine Beginnings Beauty, I am proud to say that I am able to tailor skincare regimes for every person who enters the salon. I provide anti-ageing treatments for clarifying, rejuvenating, pigmentation, redness and sun damage. I love to help teenagers get the most out of their appearance and promote healthy self-esteem… and now I can add men’s skincare to that list as well. With the introduction of the Skin Inc range, Alpine Beginnings Beauty now caters for men.
Men’s skin is different however just like women, men benefit from taking care of their skin too. Men’s skin is thicker, oilier, contains more collagen and definitely more hair follicles. Thicker skin means products for men need to be more potent and have greater absorbance to penetrate the skin’s outer layers and actually make a difference. Oilier skin means there is a need for a more effective cleanser, less moisturising content, to reduce oil production and prevent clogging of pores. Skin Inc delivers just the right balance with the Skin Inc. daily exfoliator for face. The Skin Inc. Facial Lotion Moisturiser provides equilibrium to the skin with a subtle moisturiser that won’t generate excess oiliness whilst still containing effective and powerful ingredients.
The higher collagen content of male skin ensures that men age slower than women, have fewer wrinkles and retain the skin’s moisture content. La Clinica perfect complexion sunscreen lotion SPF50 is still essential however, to preserve skin health. Facial hair, with the abundance of associated hair follicles, helps to stabilise and protect the skin. For those men who shave, however, there is a risk of ingrown hairs, irritation, rashes, razor burn and sensitive skin. Skin Inc’s Facial Wash Gel & Toner helps control these issues.
This is all great in theory, but men are rarely willing to commit to a complicated skincare routine. Fortunately, Skin Inc. offers potent, yet simple products ideal for that active man-on-the-go. Organic, free from all the nasties and Australian-made, these products include a no fuss facial wash, exfoliant and moisturiser. The Skin Inc. product range is specifically designed to work with a man’s skin, combating oiliness, preventing clogged pores and shaving damage whilst delivering a strong, simple and effective skincare range.
With Father’s Day just around the corner, the Skin Inc Gift Pack is fantastic value. Pick one up for your favourite guy at Alpine Beginnings Beauty.

Caring for your skin is the first, and most important, step towards optimising your natural beauty. Here at Alpine Beginnings Beauty, the health of your skin is my first priority. But we’re not as good at caring for our skin as we are other aspects of our health. After all, if we feel unwell, we go to the doctor. If we feel unfit we go to the gym… but the condition of our skin is so often something we just accept without trying to change.
Well, guess what? It’s never too late to start… and that’s why I’ve introduced the Alpine Beginnings Beauty exclusive Skin Gym program! It’s all about getting that health, fitness and vitality back into your skin. This is especially important here in our Alpine environment. Did you know that UV radiation at the altitude of the Snowy Mountains is 23-35% higher than that at sea level? Not only that, snow reflects up to 80% of UV radiation. So here in the mountains, we’re getting hit from above and below. That’s a lot of damage being done to your skin!
Skin Gym is designed to kickstart your skin’s metabolism, reboot the ageing of your cells and stimulate the production and repair of collagen and elastin. It will also provide you with a great platform for home maintenance. The different elements of the Skin Gym program will maximise the penetration of your skincare products into your skin, so you get the most out of your daily routine.
Skin Gym involves an individually tailored program, developed specifically for you and your skins needs. After all, everyone is different and so is our skin.
Skin Gym includes a series of 2 appointments, 2-3 weeks apart. Also:
Consultation, education and Visia Skin Analysis ($80 value)
2 x Rejuvenation Peel Facials ($130 value)
3 months of skincare products (up to $280 value)
The total value of the Skin Gym program is over $480. As a special online offer, clients can sign up for only $300. This special offer is for a limited time only, so book now to get your skin back to the gym!
I recently introduced a Skin Gym program for grown-ups, and I’m happy to report that it’s working brilliantly for those clients who have chosen to join. But great skin care habits start young, so now I’ve tailored a Skin Gym program for Teens as well!
Teens (and some Tweens) are at a stage in their lives when their bodies are changing (including body chemistry!), and they are trying to find their new place in the world outside of childhood. Self esteem at this time can be horribly low. This is not helped at all by the onset of pimples and acne in response to the skin’s changes in chemistry and over-production of sebum. At Alpine Beginnings Beauty, I’ve long been conscious of ways I can help both girls and boys through this difficult stage in their lives. In the past I’ve introduced a range of teenage skincare products, and run skincare education sessions for young people wanting to learn how maximise their skin’s health.
Teen Skin Gym is the next evolutionary step in teenage skincare at Alpine Beginnings. Teen Skin Gym is designed to clarify your skin, re-establish balance and help control blemishes and acne whilst maintaining moisture. It also provides Teens with a great platform for home maintenance. The combination of in-salon and at-home treatments maximises the penetration of skincare products into the skin, so Teens get the most out of their daily routine.
Skin Gym involves an individually tailored program, developed specifically for your teen aged 11-17 and their skins needs. After all, everyone is different and so is our skin.
Teen Skin Gym (ages 11-17) includes 2 appointments, 2 weeks apart, plus daily at-home treatments.
The salon appointments will involve:
• Consultation, education and Visia Skin Analysis
• 2 x Anti-Blemish Facials
• 3 months of Anti-Blemish skincare products
The total value of the Teen Skin Gym program is over $280. As a special offer, Teens and Tweens can sign up for only $170. This special offer is for a limited time only, so book now to get your Teen into the Skin Gym and on the road to blemish-free skin!

The Alpine Beginnings Beauty Salon is a pretty exciting place to be these days – so many new things! The Visia skin analysis machine, new products from La Clinica, the Alpine Beginnings Skin Gym program… I’m always looking for new ways to treat my clients and new products to improve my range. With the introduction last year of the La Clinica skincare range, I brought the advantage of cosmeceutical products to my clients, and now I’ve found makeup products that will continue those benefits. The Image I Beauty range is here!
It is my goal for your whole skin to experience the value of cosmeceutical products, from cleanser to moisturisier to makeup, every product is promoting hydration and supporting your skin in anti-aging. The Image I Beauty range offers a primer and foundation line that not only look great, but actively heal, nourish and protect your skin at the same time. The I Prime flawless blur gel is a primer and so much more. It reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles and lines and leaves skin flawless for application of makeup or daily moisturiser. The IPrime blur gel contains a powerful blend of antioxidants, plant-derived stem cell extracts and botanicals to fight free radical damage that causes skin aging. And of course, it’s paraben-free.
Follow this up with the I Conceal flawless foundation. This is a daily foundation that heals and conceals for a flawless complexion. It is suitable for all skin types, and is ideal for those suffering pigmentation, redness and rosacea, acne and acne scarring. It can also be used after cosmetic injections, skin treatments, laser treatment and surgery, and is perfect for covering up unsightly bruising and scarring. The healing properties come from a range of key ingredients which contain regenerative properties, promote wound healing, soothe and calm the skin, promote the skin’s natural defenses, contain anti-free radical agents, increase hyaluronic acid and collagen production, increase oxygen uptake in the skin, deliver vitamins and hydration to the skin, and of course, contains broad-spectrum sun protection. In other words, this product does it all!
Apply your I Prime blur gel and I Conceal foundation with the I Beauty no. 101 flawless foundation brush. Achieve complexion perfection with this pro-quality HD foundation brush. Dense bristles are specifically designed to fit the contours of your face to flawlessly blend and buff makeup for a perfectly airbrushed effect.
