Hey there beautiful, happy Saturday! Can you believe it’s the back-end of May already?? Man this year is flying by. At the start of the month I was super-duper lucky enough to be invited to attend the Kids Business Bloggers Brunch in Sydney. Not only was there an abundance of inspiring bloggers and ‘social mums’ in attendance, but we were lucky enough to have a selection of great brands there too. One of those was ARTISTRY SkinCare….. who to be honest, I knew NOTHING about!
Now let’s be real – if you know me, have seen my ‘non-curated’ Insta squares, or just get my general vibe then you will appreciate that my skin care routine is less than amazeballs. I only remember to use my cleanser because it is kept in a painfully obvious spot in the bathroom where I knock it over multiple times a day. I rarely wear makeup because I would rather sleep for 15 minutes more. I am pretty good with sunscreen these days though – go me! As I worked my way around the room I left the ARTISTRY team until last. The girls were doing mini-makeovers with their insanely complete makeup kit as well as some skin analysis thingy. Ah heck I thought to myself, I’ll give the skin analysis a crack. WOAH – was I left impressed!

ARTISTRY is the Beauty arm of Amway, a global company with over 50 years experience in business. As I drifted over to the chair I was greeted by Donna, one of ARTISTRY’s National Trainers, and I had no idea what I was in for. Megan, meet the ARTISTRY Skin Analyzer (note: no typo!), a lightweight portable device that analyses your skin to make the best possible product recommendations for you. A quick chat about my routine (none) and age (cringe) and we were on our way. Here’s a selfie of the Skin Analyzer in action, taken by someone who clearly hasn’t perfected their ‘casual look’ yet…
The ARTISTRY Skin Analyzer takes a reallyyyyyy close look at 8 different skin conditions including hydration, elasticity, pigmentation and *gulp* wrinkles. Once the analysis is complete you are then shown, on a big screen facing the entire room in this instance, your results in a clear informative set of images and graphs. Here are a few of mine as an example:
Now let me take a moment here to gloat when it comes to the wrinkle image. From the bar above you can see the average is around the 15 mark… I am way down under 5. The marvellous Donna asked me again what my skin care routine was. When I said “best described as hit and miss” she then advised me that I promptly call my mum and thank her for her genes… which I did 🙂 Thanks again mum!
At the end of all the scanning, which remarkably only took a few minutes, we got some solid results. Being a visual person, this spoke to the core of my being – show me the way ARTISTRY!
Combination skin: BOOM, but what exactly did I need to focus on in order to get my butt into gear and look after the genes my mumma gave me.
The graph above shows three shaded pentagon sections: the good, the bad and the ugly (or as ARTISTRY more appropriately refer to it ‘good, precaution and care needed’). For me it’s hydration and elasticity that I need to be mindful of in my routine. The ARTISTRY Skin Analyzer then came up with the recommendation of a few key products and brand-specific systems that would best-benefit my skin type. Winner!
I walked away with a better understanding of the condition my skin is in. I also felt confident that unlike other ‘consultations’ I have had over the years I was given accurate information specific to me, not just a ‘stab in the dark’ summary of the state of my face by someone who had read a flyer on how to sell me their products. A big thank you to Donna from ARTISTRY for her friendly professional approach to my little consultation, and for not making me feel for a second that I was being judged for not investing time and effort into my skin care routine #beenthere #donnarocks
