We sat down with our beauty therapist Anita who has been with Elevate since it's inception. She is an incredible beauty therapist with so much knowledge on the skin and an expert in providing facial experiences for her clients. We hope you enjoy this beautiful chat with Anita.
What do you think makes an amazing beauty therapist?
I believe an amazing beauty therapist is a great listener. They're always listening to their client and what they need to feel beautiful and confident in mind and body. They're educated on the skin and all things beauty and always looking for ways to improve on their knowledge. I also believe they must be passionate about their role, it is an important role that we have as beauty therapists in caring and nourishing our clients every day.
What's your favourite treatment on our menu and why?
My favourite treatment on the Elevate menu is Luxury Escape. This is a treatment that really serves mind, body and spirit. When I see clients after a Luxury Escape experience there is a calm and lightness to them. For skin rejuvenation, I am passionate about micro-needling, it is an incredibly effective way to treat myriad of skin conditions and rejuvenate the skin.
What is your daily skin care routine?
I have sensitive skin so I'm very careful about what I put on my skin. In the morning, I apply UberZinc and DermaCalm. In the evening, I use Dermiotic, DermaCalm, Vitamin B and Super Serum.
Which product can't you live without and why?
I can't live without my Young Living lavender oil and Australian Bushflower Emergency essence.
Who's your beauty or wellness icon?
For me, it's about those who haven't been named. The beauty therapists that paved the way for all of us in the beauty industry. Today, I admire Synergie Skin founder and chemist Terry Vinson for her vision and passion to bringing the best of nature to her products. And perhaps most notably, Elevate founder Bernie Rees who encourages and makes space for me to grow and educate myself so that I can support my clients in the best way possible.
