MV Skintherapy

THIS IS THE STORY OF SHARON MCGLINCHEY, THE FOUNDER OF MV SKINCARE

"In 1998 I attended a ‘make your own skincare’ workshop in a bid to help a client who’d developed a severe petrochemical sensitivity. It didn’t take me long to discover that the bad news about what went into cosmetic products – from endocrine disruptors to toxic chemicals – was true; and, in fact, it was worse than I’d been led to believe.

There was no going back – I knew that I had to change my approach to skincare entirely and, at the same time, I resolved to empower women to make better-informed decisions about what they put on their skin too.

Ever since that day, 25 years ago, I have been on the same quest: to create organic, natural skin care with an open and honest approach to what I do. I think of myself as a passionate chef, using the world’s most powerful, precious and pure ingredients – all of which work holistically to transform skin and nourish our senses. Having learned so much, I feel that using commercial skincare is tantamount to eating junk food every day.

25 years on, here I am, working closely with naturopaths and complementary health practitioners – and still gaining so much satisfaction from helping people achieve radiant healthy skin, naturally.”
