Passion…..
Welcome to Minimal Skin, a skincare studio lovingly established by Larni Macgregor in Perth’s northern suburbs.
Larni has been passionately refining her skills for the last 15 years. Her continuous pursuit of knowledge has kept her forever evolving and always learning. Her approach to skincare centres around her philosophy of simplicity and luxury; working with the skin’s natural functions rather than against them.
“The skin is a complex and clever organ we just need to give it what it requires to flourish and be healthy, nothing more, nothing less. Truly healthy skin also looks beautiful! There is an endless sea of skincare available now and a lot of it is optional but not essential.”
Before she became a fully qualified Dermal Therapist Larni experienced the anguish of problematic skin herself. In her early 20’s she suffered several rounds of chronic dermatitis on her face as a result of poorly recommended products. Shortly after this she began to develop rosacea. These conditions had a significant emotional impact on her and were the driving force behind her desire to help others. She became determined to learn everything there was to know about skin and how it functions, to throw herself into the study of skin science.
Having experienced overly aggressive in-clinic skin treatments and witnessing it firsthand working within the clinical environment she became aware of the overwhelming industry-driven belief that ‘the more a person does to their skin, the more products they use, the more technologically advanced the treatment, the better the results will be’. She became more and more determined to move away from this unfounded approach. There seemed to be a lack of real ‘care’, empathy and education for clients.
She wanted to minimise and demystify the process of skincare.
“A person’s skin is as individual as their fingerprint. There are principles to basic skincare and of course sound science, commonalities between people, but ultimately it should be well chosen to suit the individual’s skin needs and just as importantly must fit in with their lifestyle. It’s an educated, holistic and intuitive prescription. When I can teach people how to understand their skin that’s when they start to see huge changes.”
Larni has helped countless people attain healthy, glowing skin. Now in her own studio she is able to make it her “life”, to share her knowledge with others and create a unique bespoke service that encompasses the magical touch of old world beauty treatments combined with the clinical results of modern science.
