Skincare Academy.
The only Integrative online Educational platform teaching Skin Health Professionals Naturopathic Medicine created by an Acne Naturopath. Our founder Hayley Barnes built her curriculum and courses around the philosophy of Aesthetic Naturopathy, recognising that skin conditions can not be treated unless you address the cause first.
The Skincare industry is over commercialised with products, treatments and misinformation which has become very overwhelming for Skin Therapists, Aestheticians and Dermal Nurses to understand just how to treat skin conditions internally. This is why the Skincare Academy was created to train, educate and support skin health professionals to treat the cause of skin conditions internally integratively first, then offer external support second for the best client results. Skin conditions, specifically Acne is an external sign of an internal health challenge. When we support clients to understand this, this allows clients to understand their bodies on a completely different level and see each part of their body connected to the other. We believe this level of education will not only treat skin conditions but empower and support women to achieve the skin and health of their dreams. Thriving full body health: Hormone, Gut, Liver, Lymphatic and Nervous system health.
The definition of health is the ability to live your dreams in your dream skin!!

Here to help you treat the cause of acne internally, positioning yourself as an Industry leader.
The Story...
I struggled with acne since I was 13 and I tried absolutely everything to treat it and nothing ever worked, well longer than one month, which is the reason why I wanted to become a Naturopath to treat my acne, then others acne, while helping women thrive.
Two Clinical Science degrees in Natural Medicine later, I learnt how to treat the cause of my acne and many of my clients acne.
I then realised that I needed to teach women how to treat their acne internally themselves, as the method now known as Advanced Acne to g l o w, I implemented in practice was achieving amazing results for my clients. This then led to Skin Health Professionals and Naturopaths wanting to learn my exact treatment method and also achieving results including g l o w i n g clear skin and thriving health for their clients.
START YOUR NATUROPATHIC EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
LEARN MOREVision
To Internationally change the way the Skin, Beauty and Naturopathic Industry treats skin conditions. For therapists and clients to see acne as a sign that their body requires additional support. To see acne as an opportunity to go inwards and in doing that clients not only clear their acne, but learn how to listen to their bodies, achieving thriving health specific to the individual. That the skin is first treated internally and externally second. Right now too often society and industry have it around the wrong way. To see the support of a Naturopath in every skin clinic Internationally, for better client results, increased industry professionalism and making skin clinics the one stop shop for internal and external health.
Mission
To build an industry of Skin Health Professionals who are trained to treat the cause of skin conditions Naturopathically, internally and externally. Where Aesthetic Naturopathy, Nutrition, and Supplementation is simple, easy to understand and accessible for every individual client.
To reinvent how skin care professionals are trained, making skin clinics a place for clients to thrive, achieve full body health, hormones, gut, liver, lymphatic nervous system health, because your clients cannot achieve their skin goals if they are also struggling with symptoms (painful period), health challenges (IBS) and reactions (rashes after eating certain foods).
It is our mission to create the highest level of Integrative Education for Skin Health Professionals to learn and interpret Dermatological science based research mixed with extensive clinical experience into bit sized, step by step lef courses. Allowing professionals and individuals to not only treat the cause of their skin condition but support their overall health long term.
Philosophy
We believe that clear, acne free, glowing skin is the result of balanced internal health. Acknowledging that the skin is our largest organ, integratively connected to each bodily system. That no external skincare products or treatments can independently treat acne without out treating the body's internal root cause(s) first.
Values
