Education First
While the Dermalogica story officially began in 1986, the real force for change in the industry started in Los Angeles in 1983. Jane Wurwand - a tenured, UK-trained skin therapist who was new to the American “esthetics” industry – quickly realized that opportunities for further education in skin and body therapy were virtually non-existent in the United States. While her own training had been comprehensive and on-going, she discovered that US therapists entered the industry licensed yet under-trained, and worse, under-respected.
Jane put her own experience with education into action, opening a small classroom in Marina del Rey under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI). She invited licensed skin therapists to get hands-on with the postgraduate training that was so critical to making them competitive in the business. Today, IDI is considered the international Gold Standard for postgraduate skin and body therapy training, with over 40 locations worldwide.
