Expert Q & A with Yasmine Djerradine:
Q: What do you love most about what you do?
A: So many things - I love to take care of people. There is something intimate about caring for another’s skin. I like to customize each treatment.
People often call me and describe their skin over the phone and ask me to recommend a regimen for them. I always tell them that I need to see and touch their skin in order to understand their unique health and beauty needs.
Q: What is the single most important piece of skin care advice you give your clients?
A: Please don’t overdo it! Skin is an organ and your body’s first line of defense against the elements. Many harsh procedures actually strip your skin of what it desperately needs to protect itself! Focus on cleansing and hydrating and your skin will always be there to protect you.
Customization in skin care is also crucial. Everything has to be “sur mesure”, or made to order. Everyone ages differently and responds to the elements and pollution uniquely.
Q: If you had to recommend a single type of product that you would encourage people to splurge on, what would it be?
A: Today people are living longer and so we need our youthful complexion to last indefinitely. It is more important than ever to take care of ourselves as we age. If you think about the adverse effects of collagen collapse, sun or wind damage, cancer- etc., all of these issues can be traced back to the various ways we have neglected our skin. We must utilize a serious moisturizer during the winter to protect ourselves from the cold and wind and the best sun protection when we are in the sun- basically all year round.
Q: What defining moment in your career had the strongest influence on you?
A: I have defining moments all the time! I am constantly discovering new products, working with new clients and experimenting with new treatment technologies. This is why, even after 30 years, I am still so passionate about skin care. It is my hope and vision for the future that each new experience will be insightful and exciting. I strive for every moment to be the next “aha” moment!
