A woman I recently evaluated in my clinic had reacted to three products she had applied to her face. All three products contained the same key active ingredient, which had caused an allergic contact dermatitis. "What a shame!” she said, acknowledging the need to dispose of the remainder of the products.
Sadly, this is not the last case of unnecessary wastage of skin and/or haircare products! Every day, countless number of people buy products hoping it will work for their specific skin type and problem. Sometimes they are lucky, other times not so lucky! The consequences? Yet more plastic wastage and loss of hard-earned cash, during a cost of living crisis!
Could taking a more personalised approach to skin and haircare prevent such wastage? The response to this question in my opinion is ’yes’. This is why I created and developed mia pelle. Through mia pelle, I hope to empower and educate our members to become more 'skin smart' i.e. more intentional about their skin and haircare needs/products. I am doing this through a number of ways:
- Providing a curated range of skin and haircare products, selected personally by me, Dr Ophelia E. Dadzie
- Providing a bespoke product recommendation tool, created and developed by me. Answer a few simple questions and use the knowledge I have accumulated over the years to help find tailor-made solutions for your skin and/or hair concern(s).
- Providing our members with access to free sample products. All our members have access to a sample pack, with 4-5 skin and/or haircare products every 3 months. This means you can try out products before spending your hard-earned cash!
- Providing access to exclusive free educational events on skin and haircare.
