The Visionaries Behind Dermalogica Products

Jane Wurwand has always been captivated by the beauty business.  As a 13 year old schoolgirl she lied about her age so that she could get a job working in a local hair salon on Saturdays and after school. Her mother had been widowed at the age of 38 and was left alone with four young girls to raise who were all under the age of 14. She sensibly instilled in her daughters that the most essential thing for them to be able to do for themselves in their lives was to learn to do something that would enable them to put food on the table at any time in the future.  Jane quickly absorbed her mother's message and she became determined to follow her passion for the beauty business and her mother’s practical approach.

Most people would not find working laboriously picking hair pins out of hair clippings swept up from a hair salon floor, sterilizing the pins, placing them into boxes and trolleys and returning them to the salon for the hairdressers to continue their work appealing but for Jane, who was so fascinated by the beauty business, this exposure to the atmosphere and workings of day to day life in a salon was a life changing and inspirational experience.  She not only enjoyed the work, no matter how tedious it could be, but she felt dynamized by it.   She continues to experience the same dynamism and energy to this day despite having worked in the beauty business for over 30 years. This sheer enthusiasm, zest for and love of the beauty business is what has driven her, along with her husband Raymond, to create Dermalogica skin care and to turn it into a thriving, and hugely successful business worldwide.  

Jane qualified to become a licensed skin care professional in England which is a country that has far higher and more stringent criteria for becoming a skin therapist than the United States.  Upon realising that her chosen industry was not particularly well-respected or stringent in its licensing standards, she started teaching weekly classes in skin care techniques.

During the recession in 1983, Jane flew out to America to join her South African boyfriend, Raymond, who had gone out there ahead of her and had been living in Southern California for a few months already.  He and Jane had each flown over to America on a budget airline with a suitcase each, hoping that they could figure out a way to make a good living and realize their ambitions.

Once he was in America, Raymond started working as a sales representative for a company which sold equipment to the skin care industry.  The job was a major step down for him because he had previously worked as a top marketing executive with a company based in South Africa.  In his new job in America he was finding it challenging trying to sell advanced skin care equipment to an industry which was focused on clever, enticing packaging rather than scientific fact.  Because nobody knew how to use this advanced equipment nobody was buying it and Raymond was finding it hard to make a living.  Raymond asked Jane, in her role as a licensed instructor, to go to the company’s showroom and do some classes.  They subsequently spent six months holding a class every week and due to the success of those classes they managed to start selling a large amount of equipment. Positive word of mouth ensured that very quickly the classes became a huge success.
