MY STORY of starting a SKINCARE Company in 2006.

Why I started a Skincare Company in 2006.

As a young 21 year old woman in 1981 doing a diploma in beauty therapy my life was mapped out for me yet I didn’t know where it would lead.

Having the opportunity to be a trainer for an international skincare company when I was 26 years old, I was always curious to why certain ingredients where used in skincare formulations.

It was in 2001 I started reading and researching ingredients used in skincare, the benefits and what would maintain youthful skin. Being a single mum and working fulltime and not having much faith in myself, my research became became a hobby.

One day a light bulb moment I thought “make it happen” you can do it.

Working in Day Spas each day I witnessed how much money woman was spending on skincare to find that product that would give her YOUTHFUL skin & make her feel beautiful. Each day Woman from all ages entered the doors wanting treatments and products to make them feel great.

The skin is the largest living organ and we need to ask ourselves are we feeding or killing our skin. For me it was all about the NATURAL ingredients and what was a woman feeding her skin.

Make a cake, make a skincare product, just do it! I searched and found a company that used my formulations to make the first test batch of skincare. A few changes were made then in it was testing time on real people.

January 2006 I asked a group of women to test the skincare products for 6 months, this gave me time to get the money together to do the first production run for launch January 2007.

I remember that first day, pallets of products arrived at my rented place where the stock was stored in the garage.

What a roller coaster of a ride, made money, spent too much money, labels lifted in production run, labels peel off weeks after arrival. It has been an interesting 10 years.

Many a Woman would have said “To hard and give up” I am grateful that one of my personality traits is persistence.

Let’s jump into 2017 and I am still here, sharing the love of natural/organic skincare, selling Door of Youth online. Have a warehouse now, sending products Australia wide. Loyal subscribers who have been using DOY skincare for 7+ years.

My goals have always been high and want every woman to experience DOY skincare.

Excited to jump into 2018, new enrich day cream & packaging. Launching Vitamin Serums range, AB / C and whitening. Anti-aging body range we are testing at present with the vision of launching mid-2018.

I have a purple folder with all my notes, articles and first contracted signed for the first production run of skincare. One day it may become a book for many Woman out there that has a dream!

Here are some pictures from where it all started in November 2006.

Stock arrives, son and mate unpack, time to celebrate!

First customer, happy smiles!                           First look of skincare, wow we have evolved.

WOULD YOU DO ONE THING for ME?

If you haven’t tried DOOR OF YOUTH SKINCARE, time to go shopping and welcome the products into your front door.

DOY skincare now in 2017.

 

Ciao for now
