ABOUT SALT OF THE EARTH SKIN

My name is Lindsey Baillie, and I am the founder of SALT OF THE EARTH SKIN. My career in the Beauty and Wellness Industry began in 2005, over 18 years ago as a graduate of Blanche Macdonald Centre for Applied Design in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a diploma in Makeup Artistry. In the makeup world, I have experience in everyday application, wedding and special occasion, film, theater, TV, airbrushing, and Special FX. I have experience manufacturing skincare for an organic skincare brand, am a licensed Manicurist in Washington State, Herbalist focused on the healing benefits of tea, Licensed Esthetician and Esthetics Educator in Washington State and Idaho, Health Coach, Writer, Certified Corneotherapist, Certified Facial Reflexologist, dermaviduals®️US Educator, and the list is growing!

Although my journey didn’t begin with skin health specifically, through my many years of education, skin has been at the forefront of every program and class I have attended. I am passionate and obsessed with how the skin functions and protects the body. It is the first line of defense for our immune system and deserves more respect than we give it. This makes extensive knowledge and understanding of our largest organ, cosmetic chemistry and formulation a must! I consider myself an expert in these areas and love deciphering the marketing jargon of my industry.

As a native Inland Northwesterner, I love being able to serve my community by creating a safe space away from the mental health conundrum that the beauty industry has created to profit off of our vulnerabilities. You are perfect just as God made you, and I am here to walk by your side on your sustainable skin health journey.

“Corneotherapy is a remedial skin treatment methodology with its core principle being the repair and maintenance of the skin barrier defence systems.” (International Association for Applied Corneotherapy)

The outermost layer of our epidermis called the stratum corneum is NOT dead, and is very much alive. Until these corneocyte skin cells naturally fall off, they continue to communicate and send signals to the underlying layers of the skin. Constantly removing them through regular exfoliation disrupts this process, and ultimately disrupts how our skin naturally functions.

With this knowledge, corneotherapy aims to keep the skin intact at all times and restore homeostasis. This individualised approach to skin health not only looks at the symptoms, but more importantly the cause of skin conditions and barrier disruption. This leads to a healthier path to healing than conventional esthetics practices.

dermaviduals® is a unique skincare line, unlike anything you’ve ever tried before. It applies the “outside in” principle of Corneotherapy to skin care with the patented DMS® (derma membrane system) concentrate, which repairs the stratum corneum and brings homeostasis to the skin. DMS® is almost identical to the skin’s lipid barrier thanks to its five beneficial ingredients: phosphatidylcholine, ceramides, squalene, triglycerides, and phytosterols, which makes it the ideal medium for active ingredients. All ingredients are healthy, biodegradable, and bio-available to the skin.

dermaviduals® products are developed in a state-of-the-art laboratory by KOKO, a German company at the forefront of Corneotherapy research and world-renowned for using only the purest ingredients. KOKO uses ground-breaking technology to create a range of creams and lotions without the addition of emulsifiers (which build up in the skin and dissolve skin lipids when exposed to water.)

All products are free of:

  • emulsifiers

  • preservatives

  • perfumes

  • coloring agents

  • mineral oils

  • silicones

  • amines
