Natural Skin Care Courses

Blackford Centre for Natural Skin Care

Make your own skincare products and launch your own brand!

  • Are you tired of shopping for skincare products, only to be disappointed by the number of chemicals and preservatives found inside?
  • Interested in creating your own natural skincare products?
  • Are you looking for a way to transform your creative passion into a potential business?

Whether you’d like to develop a skincare product for personal use or to launch a new business, a Diploma in Natural Skincare will get started on the right track and set you up for success.

Creating your own products is one of the most satisfying things you can do. You’ll be taking control of your life. You’ll know exactly what you’re putting on to your face and hands. You’ll be protecting your family. And best of all you’ll be able to express your creativity in a meaningful way.

Imagine being able to say “Have this moisturiser. It’s my gift to you. I made it from only the purest of natural ingredients.”

By joining the Diploma in Natural Skincare course, you’ll be undertaking a journey of discovery. You’ll be making face cream at home. You’ll learn handmade cosmetics recipes. And you’ll produce skincare remedies that could in time be worth millions.

Friends will turn to you for advice. Strangers could ask for your autograph in the street. You could get calls from from influential companies like Estée Lauder, Nivea or Shiseido.

 

 

Ethylhexyl Isononanoate,anyone? It’s used as an herbicide to prevent the growth of weeds. Do you really want it on your skin?

We’ve all been shopping for skincare products, only to be perplexed by the chemicals that lurk in the creams, lotions and serums that we apply to our skin on a daily basis. So why should you use products that contain strange chemical names and hard-to-pronounce additives?

The best solution is to go back to basics and create your own natural skincare products.

Pollution and oxidative stress wreak havoc on the skin. You value the health of your skin and you want to keep it in good condition – which is why using natural products without all the extra ingredients is the way to go.

More and more of us are opting for simpler products with a handcrafted touch – a perfect reason for learning how to make your own.

Maybe you’d like to go one step further and develop your own skincare brand?

There is a rising demand for natural and organic products, according to Statistia.com. In 2016, 57 percent of US women said it was important to buy all-natural skin-care products.

Around the globe people are spending an eye watering $127 billion each year on skincare products, as they seek to manage their skin, fight back against pollution and aging; and give their skin a healthy dose of nutrients and antioxidants.

Skincare is an important part of daily life. Many of us start and end our day with a skincare routine. And 60% of people have a skin problem at some point in their life, so there’s a big need for advice and suitable products.

 

 

A Growing Industry

The skincare industry is growing each year, so your investment of time and money in the course will be well rewarded.

Starting your own brand comes with its own perks and benefits, too. You can:

  • Work from anywhere in the world
  • Set your own hours
  • Determine what you want to sell
  • Increase your income – whether you want to supplement an existing income or start a new career entirely.

Turning your creative passion into a business will also give you freedom. Freedom to choose what you put on your skin, freedom to create products in the comfort of your own home, and the freedom to choose just how big you want your new business to grow.

With a Diploma in Natural Skincare, you’ll be able to create skincare products that fit your needs, and help others. Isn’t that an uplifting thought?

In addition to learning how to create your own natural skincare business with this course, you’ll also develop valuable, marketable skills that position you as an expert in skincare. With this knowledge, you’ll be ready to launch your own brand of products in speciality boutiques and stores, or create beautifully made gifts for friends and family!

What’s the best way to learn?

So, how will you learn about skincare? Books and blogs are great, but they lack feedback. You don’t know if you’re doing it right. And that can be dangerous.

Classroom courses work well for people who have a completely open schedule in which to take classes throughout any time of day. Classroom learning also appeals to extroverts, or those who like working in a group setting.

Learn how to make and package your own skincare products.

But there are many restrictions that come with classroom learning. If you work, are a full-time parent or have family obligations, the ability to arrange a schedule to attend classes adds stress to daily life. Also, not everyone works well in a social setting – especially for those who prefer to learn at an individual pace or prefer not to work in groups.

One alternative to classroom learning is distance learning. The advantage of this type of study is that your coursework is self-paced, and you can complete your lessons no matter where you are or the time of day in which you choose to work on assignments. However, some distance learning has disadvantages. Many distance learning courses are done purely online. And that means all your course materials are found online only. It means you have to be connected to the internet to access their content. Who wants to be tied to a computer whenever you find the time to study?

It’s not easy reading technical content on a screen. That’s why we at the Blackford Centre offer a better solution, one that offers both printed text, (for ease of learning) plus online content for videos and interactive content.

Two more copies of the course are on their way.

You might prefer to have a physical book to study in a coffee shop, a quiet spot at home, or in a library. You can make notes, highlight a specific line of text, or make notes on the go; while the online content gives you the ease of learning from video.

The course is independently endorsed and is recognised by reputable professionals.
