We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Heather Dyer a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Heather , so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?
At Save The Wave Skincare – we believe Self Care is Health Care. As medical providers we understand the importance of taking care of your body with physical activity, healthy food, water, social interactions, and healthy relationships. Taking time to care for yourself should always be a priority.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Save The Wave Skincare was developed by sisters and Duke University trained healthcare providers. Elena is a Physician Assistant specializing in dermatology for over 20 years and Heather is an Internal Medicine Nurse Practitioner. We wanted to develop a skincare line that had purpose – not only ingredients that are purposeful ,but also a mission we believed in. We have created a line that combines the best medical grade & natural ingredients to unlock your most beautiful skin. It was important for us to create a dermatology grade line that more people can afford. Our products can go up against the most expensive products at more than 1/2 the price. Not only is our line effective, but it is targeted – no need for multiple step product lines anymore.
Our mission is to use ocean and friendly ingredients (like chemical free sunscreens) that are safer for you and our environment. We also donate a portion of our sales to ocean conservation.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Having medical background has helped us develop a scientifically backed product line that has proven effectiveness. Our dedication to perfection has ensured that each and everyone of our products met our standards – elegant feel, quality ingredients, proven effectiveness.
For those just starting out, don’t rush. Take time to feel confident in your product, your mission, and your goals. Your name will be attached to this journey/product/content you’re providing so make sure it is something you will be proud of.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
We would love to grow our brand recognition. Doing that will take collaboration with influential people – in print and social media. We want to partner with people who feel the same about skincare that we do.
