This September, Esse Skincare will be opening its new training centre, the Esse Academy, at its headquarters in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The Academy’s first offering will be a novel course, training dermatologists, medical aestheticians and skin therapists in the innovative science that is evolving around the skin microbiome.
Trevor Steyn, Esse’s founder, has been a global leader in pioneering the importance of the skin microbiome – the delicate ecology of microorganisms that exists on every person. As Steyn explains: “The use of antibiotics, disinfectants and chemical-based cosmetics is disrupting the skin’s microbial ecology, leading to chronic sub-clinical inflammation and premature aging. Over the last few years, Esse has invested heavily in training for skincare professionals. This five-day course covers the microbial ecosystem on skin and possible probiotic treatments for skin conditions.”
The Esse Academy is sustainably constructed using glass and wood, merging into the environment with an air-control system that provides a constant flow of cool forest air. Each group that attends the Esse Academy will be exposed to both theoretical and practical elements, gaining experience in swabbing and genetic analysis, growing cultures and microscopic analysis.
Attendees will leave the course with:
• A clear understanding of the skin microbiome, and its impact on skin health.
• Knowledge of the key species and their role in the ecology.
• Knowledge of how probiotics can be used to treat skin conditions.
The first three Esse Academy courses are fully booked, but new course dates will be announced soon via the website – www.esseskincare.com. Any interested parties can contact Esse at training@esseskincare.com to register.
