Pamela Springers Develops Beauty Line Focused on Hispanic Women

By: Cindy G. Castillo

Pamela Springers has always believed that “every skin deserves to be flawless.”

Springers is a licensed aesthetician and aesthetics instructor, and the founder of The Skin & Makeup Institute of Arizona. After 15 years of success training graduates in clinical treatments for pigmentation anomalies, acne and aging skins, she decided to take a turn with her career in 2009.

She launched Global Skin Solutions to market Global Skin Care Corrective Products. Two different lines, one for licenses professionals and another for retail consumers.

Her inspiration came after studying the market, and noticing that beauty products on the shelves were mainly advertised as anti-aging, but realizing that anti-aging had a different meaning for skins of color. Some of the most common signs of aging for darker skin tones include hyper pigmentation and dull skin. “It doesn’t really mean wrinkles like what you usually see in Caucasian skin,” she explains.

That’s why her line is focused on the ethnic population, which, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is estimated to reach 49.5 percent of the U.S. population’s by 2050. Not only has her line been dermatology tested and recommended, but it’s been formulated for global skin types, using only special ingredients proven to give corrective results.

Global Skin Solutions’ products address the common skin conditions of the ethnic population. Most products tackling these conditions are over-the-counter and offer only temporary results. The benefit of adding professional treatments is that the consumer will now be able to receive long-term results. “We’re slowly and surely breaking barriers [in skin care] and that’s what’s important,” she said.

Here are some of the most common skin ailments faced by Latinos:

• Excessive sebum production
• Easy scarring
• Melasma: A patchy brown or dark brown skin discoloration that usually occurs on a woman’s face. It is a tan or dark facial skin discoloration, also known as “mask of pregnancy” when present in pregnant women.
• Hypertrophic scarring: Takes the form of a raised lump on the skin, but does not grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound.
• Atopic dermatitis: Also known as eczema, this is a dry, itchy, hypersensitive skin disorder affecting many people. The rash may appear red, wet and weepy or dry, thick and scaly. This is a chronic condition, that can affect any part of the body, particularly the elbow bends, backs of the knees and neck.

“It’s so rewarding to see people with skin conditions go from being stuck in a state of self-pity to a place where they become alive and doing things they never did before,” she says.

But above all, Springers says that the key to skin care is information and really understanding your skin type — no two people are the same.

“Most people are lured in by commercials and ads in magazines, whey all they need is to understand their skin and analyze it,” she said.

The best thing anyone can do is learn about their very own skin type and know which products will work best for your own needs.
