Dermalogica*

Jane Wurwand, a tenured, United Kingdom-trained skin therapist new to the American esthetician industry, recognized that continuing skin and body therapy education was practically non-existent in the US. Jane opened a small classroom under the name The International Dermal Institute (IDI). While teaching at IDI, it didn’t take long for Jane to realize no product line embraced her belief of skin health as opposed to “beauty,” so she developed her own. And in 1986, Dermalogica was born.
