Meet Brodie – one of our Caci friends and a well-known New Zealand media personality.
Brodie kindly shared her skin story with us – from her favourite treatments to the skincare products she swears by.. Her journey is all about real results, a little self-love, and a whole lot of SPF. Because feeling confident in your skin? That’s always in style.
When did you start coming to Caci?
I have been at Caci since about 2018. I'd been on a two-year dose of Isotretinoin after dealing with some pretty solid hormonal acne and I wanted to find a way to build my confidence back up – but also make the investment in looking after my skin. After all, I only have one face!
Brodie’s skin journey is one many of us can relate to – overcoming acne, navigating confidence dips, and finally deciding it’s time to treat your skin (and self) with some long-overdue love. Her time at Caci has been all about healing, maintenance, and that post-treatment glow we all chase.
What’s your favourite in-clinic treatment?
It's so hard to pick because every time I go in there it's like the team can read my face and what it's been through with my hectic life – and they just know. But if I had to pick, the Hydradermabrasion would be my favourite. It's like this glorious little gentle vacuum cleaner on your face, and the glow afterwards? Unreal.
We couldn’t agree more. Hydradermabrasion is one of our go-to’s for that fresh, clean feeling and instant radiance. Think: exfoliation, deep cleansing, hydration, and zero downtime. It’s basically your skin’s version of a reset button – and Brodie is all about it.
What’s your must-have skincare product?
Ok so I have two. The Murad Revitalixir Recovery Serum – I wear it every day and it has these little magical beads (my words obviously haha). It is so good for hydration, and perfect to take away as your go-to serum for travel too.
The other would be my Murad Perfecting Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 | PA+++, because thank goodness we know now that we have to be putting sunscreen on our face every single day of the year. I remember growing up as a teenager/in my early twenties it just wasn't something we knew to do. I promise my younger self now I am making up for it!"
From travel-size saviours to sun-smart habits, Brodie’s skincare picks show how a consistent routine (with a little science and a lot of hydration) can go a long way. And let’s all take a note from that promise to her younger self – wear the SPF, babes.
What does ‘Skin Confidence’ mean to you?
It means I feel proud of who I am. I feel proud of my smile and hope that it makes others smile too. It means I can be aware of my good days and bad days and take them as they come. It means I thrive on going out without makeup on, but also love to get dolly-birded up too. It means I'm at peace with who I am.
We couldn’t have said it better. For Brodie, skin confidence isn’t just about how you look – it’s about showing up as yourself, embracing the ups and downs, and letting your smile (and glow) do the talking.
What do you love about coming to Caci?
The beautiful, kind and caring staff at all of the clinics I've been to over the years. It's like a monthly catch-up with your besties! Sometimes I’ll steamroll in in the middle of a hectic day, sometimes I’ll fall asleep the minute my head hits the pillow – and they welcome all versions of me haha!
From sleepy heads to full-on chaos mode, the Caci team’s seen it all – and they’re here for you, however you show up. Brodie’s relationship with her local clinic is the perfect reminder that skincare is more than skin deep – it’s about connection, trust, and feeling like your best self.
How do you feel about your skin today?
I feel really happy with how well I look after my skin. And like I said, I'm doing it for my younger self – but also, I'm doing it for older me too. She'll be stoked with me right now!
And we’re stoked for her too. Skin confidence? Achieved.
