My Skin Story: Carolyn Taylor
Meet Carolyn, one of our Caci Ambassadors and member at Caci Mt Eden. Get to know her better below and check out her must have treatments and skincare products she is using to meet her skin goals. Because we all deserve 'skin confidence' right?!
What membership are you on at Caci?
Reformaskin(finally)–so far it’s been a monthly facial depending on what my skin needs at the time but I can’t wait to really get into Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) for my pigmentation that has been quite possible the longest 'skin journey' ever! we had to pause due to pregnancy. No doubt it will be worth the wait.
What is your favourite in-clinic treatment at Caci?
Microdermabrasion. Honestly getting rid of the dead skin cells and then feeding the skin leaves me feeling so ‘glowy’ and wholesome and bright. I adore them. Hydradermabrasion is also heavenly...the deep skin clean and detox you get is second to none.
What is your 'must have' skincare product/s?
Oh wow, how long have you got?! For brightness: The Skinsmiths Resurfacing AHA/BHA Peel–wake up the morning after and honestly, you’ve got new skin. For undereye darkness and tiredness (basically daily as a Mum!): Murad Vita C Eyes, Dark Circle Corrector. If I was to only ever use one serum for the rest of forever it would be: Murad Vita C Glycolic Serum. Special shout out to the absolute bees’ knees at home facial - Murad Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial. I live and die by this product. I do it once a week and it honestly is the business.
What does 'Skin Confidence' mean to you?
Look we all age, and every age comes with loves and loathes. Skin confidence to me is loving my skin whatever age I’m at. It’s not about being wrinkle-free (btw there are amazing products and treatments that help with wrinkle prevention that I’m ALL for!) but embracing where I’m at with grace, education around what my skin needs and when, and then doing what I can to maintain my 'glow' inside and out. I always look to Meryl Streep as a true beauty who, at every age is just beautiful and authentically herself and if I can/do be the same, I'll be happy!
When did you start coming to Caci and for how long?
I started coming to Caci in my mid to late 30’s after a life of using skin products off the shelf at the supermarket. I’m so glad I got wise to skincare then and was able to switch it up and really help my skin. I wish I’d done so MUCH sooner…but better late than never. Prevention really is better than cure when it comes to skin so I’ve learned.
What do you love about coming to Caci?
Honestly, it’s the one hour I look forward to so damn much it’s ridiculous. A check out, a pamper, doing something that helps me and just me. The staff are always so kind and lovely, the music is relaxing…I often have to say before my facial starts ‘ please forgive me if I fall asleep and start dribbling’ - it's THAT relaxing!
How do you feel about your skin now/today?
I love my skin!!! I take zero credit for its health. It’s all Caci and the skincare products I use from Murad and Skinsmiths. I often get compliments on my skin and I secretly high five Caci clinic every time.
What does having 'Skin Confidence' mean to you?
Look we all age, and every age comes with loves and loathes. Skin confidence to me is loving my skin whatever age I’m at. It’s not about being wrinkle-free (btw there are amazing products and treatments that help with wrinkle prevention that I’m ALL for!) but embracing where I’m at with grace, education around what my skin needs and when, and then doing what I can to maintain my ‘glow’ inside and out. I always look to Meryl Streep as a true beauty who, at every age is just beautiful and authentically herself and if I can do/be the same, I’ll be happy!
