In the cosmopolitan, fast-paced world we live in, where beauty standards constantly shift and evolve, one person has remained steadfast in her commitment to effective, compassionate skincare. Lyndall Jackson, a luminary in the skincare industry, has devoted nearly two decades to innovating and refining skincare practices and products, always with an eye toward what is both scientifically sound and ethically responsible.
In her role at DermaFix, a leading cosmeceutical skin care company, Jackson has risen as an industry paragon, merging scientific acumen with a deeply felt mindfulness. It’s her balance of heart and mind, of technology and tradition, that enables her to offer an elevated brand experience that goes beyond the cosmetic surface to a more profound sense of well-being.
Beyond her significant professional achievements, what makes Lyndall stand out is her unique perspective on stress and its impact on our skin and overall well-being. Guided by her personal interest in mindful, calming practices, she proactively showcases products and techniques that aim to alleviate the harsh effects of a stressful lifestyle, a commitment reflected in her everyday work.
As the guardian of DermaFix’s digital presence, she engages and guides individuals, creating a vibrant and caring community bound by shared experiences and interests. Her passion to help people, to understand and respond to their skincare needs, is palpable, making her more than just a skincare specialist — a true skin wellness advocate.
DermaFix’s approach is not merely skin-deep. Their scientifically-formulated products carefully incorporate tested active ingredients to ensure maximum long-term results, without ever compromising on their cruelty-free ethos. In a world increasingly cognizant of the ethical implications of our choices, DermaFix has pioneered an approach that respects and protects animal welfare during the production and testing processes.
Take a look at my in-depth interview with Lyndall Below!
Lyndall, being the skincare connoisseur that you are, could you kindly divulge which DermaFix product has truly tickled your fancy and earned the title of “all-time favourite”? Do tell us what makes it different compared to the rest of the products.
“The first product I tried from DermaFix was BB Cream. This product really impressed me because it feels light but really evens out my skin and gives it a healthy glow. I haven’t found another product like it that offers coverage whilst providing benefits to skin health.”
What is the most common skincare misconception you’ve encountered, and how would you like to set the record straight?
“People with an acne concern too often think that they shouldn’t moisturize or that sunscreen could cause an acne flare-up. It is actually beneficial to use a light moisturizer that can offer oil control and barrier repair properties. A sunscreen utilizing Zinc Oxide offers protection from the sun which is integral to maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Zinc Oxide is also good for skin. An acne skin needs gentle cleansing, and exfoliation suitable to the sensitivity levels, moisture and protection.”
With the plethora of skincare trends and fads making the rounds, how can you advise my readers to distinguish between what’s genuinely beneficial and what’s just a marketing gimmick?
“Generally, the skin care industry rotates focus on various ingredients and treatments. If it has been consistently marketed, it’s probably not a fad. If a bunch of TikTok stars are toting it, but qualified aestheticians and doctors are not offering the same treatments, think twice. You should always have a trusted professional to get skin care advice on that is customized to your unique concerns.”
As an expert in skincare, what advice would you give to someone residing in a bustling city like Johannesburg, dealing with various environmental stressors such as pollution, to maintain healthy and glowing skin?
“As city dwellers, it is vital that we cleanse, moisturize and protect our skin. Pollutants, air conditioning and high levels of stress take their toll. Anti-oxidants and UVA/UVB/HEV light protection are not negotiable if you want adequate protection. Extra hydration in the form of Hyaluronic Acid serums and boosters go a long way to maintaining a healthy, glowing skin.”
If you had to give one game-changing skincare tip to my readers, what would it be?
“If you focus on cleansing, moisturise, protect, you won’t go wrong.”
Could you share with me your personal skincare routine and the DermaFix products that you swear by as your go-to favourites? I would love a sneak peek into your skincare regimen!
“Oh my goodness! I have so many products! It’s doubtful that my skincare stash will inspire you. It’s more likely to overwhelm you. I’ve collected all the goodies that my heart desired for my skin from serums to masques, eye creams, boosters and more. My favourites are DermaFix Decelerate, DermaPolish, Ceramide Complex, ACC Copper and MD Vitamin A Propionate. This is a powerful anti-ageing combination that keeps me looking fresh and vibrant.”
As winter approaches, what are your best tips for maintaining healthy and radiant skin despite the cold and gloomy weather?
“Everyone’s skin needs a little extra help in the winter months. Whether this is because you live in Johannesburg and the air gets dry or you’re in a cold and rainy/snowy climate, extra hydration and protection go a long way. Hyalu7 Booster can be easily incorporated into your daily routine to give your skin an instant moisture boost. The addition of DermaFix 100% Organic EcoCert Argan Oil offers the skin essential moisture as well as added antioxidant protection. No matter the season, never skip sunscreen.”
In your professional opinion, to what extent do our dietary and lifestyle choices affect the health of our skin? Can making simple changes to our daily habits, like drinking more water or reducing sugar consumption, actually result in noticeable improvements in the appearance and health of our skin?
“Your skin is a reflection of what is happening internally so lifestyle and diet choices absolutely affect the condition of the skin. Anything that causes the body inflammation or imbalance will have a negative effect on the skin. This includes moisture levels, skin radiance as well as the speed at which you age. Moderate exercise, a balanced diet and incorporating mindful practices that reduce stress levels will all have a positive impact on your entire body and that will radiate through the skin.”
Which DermaFix product do you think deserves more recognition for its remarkable benefits and is a hidden gem among skincare products?
“I am particularly impressed by DermaFix CBD Lotion. This is not sold on our online store, so you’ll need to visit us or your nearest DermaFix stockist for this one. The benefits of this lotion are far-reaching. This can be used for sensitive, acne, ageing, and dehydrated skin. Offering anti-inflammatory, moisture regulating, anti-ageing and healing properties, this lightweight moisturizer is delicate enough for any skin.”
With a diverse audience on my platform, including many male followers who may be hesitant to adopt skincare routines, what message would you like to convey to encourage them to embrace skincare?
“Skincare is a part of health care, a part of taking care of and respecting yourself. When you take the time to get to know what skin routine will give you the best results, you will build confidence, and develop a healthy self-care ritual with yourself and the rewards when your skin care goals are met can be life-changing. If you are uncertain of what products will suit your skin and you’re not keen on coming in for an assessment, take the online skin quiz. DermaFix and its stockists have a team of trained skin care therapists available to assist you with anything you need to reach your goals.”
Lastly, Lyndall, what is your personal skincare mantra that keeps you motivated and inspired in this constantly evolving industry?
“Skin care is a commitment. When you are unsure, get back to basics: cleanse, moisturise, and protect.”
Lyndall, thank you so much for doing the interview with me, and for not just sharing beauty and skincare tips, but for sharing your ethos, your vision, and the heart behind your passion. Thank you for reminding us that beauty is more than skin deep. It’s an invitation to take care of ourselves, our community, and our planet.
I look forward to sharing our engaging conversation with the readers and witnessing the positive impact it will have. Until next time!
