Jane Wurwand, founder of the International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica, chose to mark the 30th anniversary of the IDI's founding in Los Angeles, by speaking passionately and frankly to a full-capacity crowd at the brand's global headquarters in Carson, CA.
The hour-long presentation was nothing short of inspiring as Wurwand saluted the healing power of the human touch and what she described as its crucial role in professional skincare.
"As skin therapists who touch people's skin for a living, we are changing the world with our bare hands." She went on to discuss the advances in technology and the irony that it is these very devices, designed to keep us connected, that have ended up undermining human touch and intimacy.
She went on to suggest that skin specialists are "the cavalry" in fighting this by providing the much needed human touch in a "touch starved" world that is racing towards an "epidemic of loneliness." She implored professionals to remember the "why" for it is not the "what" or the "how" that defines us and gives us purpose, but the "why".
Until then...geek on!
