Hi, I'm Bel. Creator of Skin Pops, qualified Dermal Therapist, skin clinic owner and someone who's spent 15 years in teaching but never quite managed to shake her obsession with skin.

My love of skincare started long before the qualifications, the clinic or the idea of launching a brand. It started at the bathroom sink with my mum.

From a very young age, she taught me one non-negotiable rule....never go to bed without washing your face. For her, that meant removing her makeup. For me, it was usually a day's worth of dirt, grub and whatever else I'd managed to get into.

But what I remember most were her very special skincare capsules.

I was fascinated by those little things. I'd beg her to let me use one, and every now and then, she'd give in. They felt fancy, precious and a little bit magical. The funny thing is, those very same capsules are still available today.

Looking back, they remind me of simpler times. Standing at the sink together, chatting about our day, and enjoying something as ordinary as washing our faces. Fast-forward a few decades, and skincare has become a whole lot more complicated.

More brands, more products, more steps, more bottles gathering dust in bathroom cupboards... and somewhere along the way, I think we've lost a little of the joy.

As a Dermal Therapist and clinic owner, I know how much good ingredients and well-considered formulas matter, but I also know that our skin changes constantly. Hormones, stress, weather, life. What works beautifully one day might not be what your skin needs the next. I also see daily the struggles women face just remembering what to use when, in what order and what if it clashes!!??!

I wanted to bring back the simplicity I remembered, with the knowledge I've gained along the way.

And that's how Skin Pops came to life.

Five clever little Pops, each with its own purpose and one perfectly measured application. Individually sealed, easy to use and designed to give you options rather than another routine to keep up with.

But for me, Skin Pops is about more than skincare.

It's about finding joy in the little things again and making room for those everyday moments. Being more thoughtful about what we buy, what we use and what we leave behind.

I'm a huge supporter of Australian women-led businesses, and I'm under no illusion about how difficult it is to create something different in a world with approximately seventeen million skincare brands. Give or take.

But I believe there's room for something with a little more personality, a little less waste and a genuinely good reason for existing.

My hope is that when you hold a little Pop in your hand, you feel some of the thought, care and history behind it and maybe, just maybe, skincare becomes something you look forward to again.

The formulas are serious. The brand? Not so much.
