About My Business Name

Welcome! If you've ever wondered "So, why the name Southern Skin Care?" you're not alone. Trust me, I've had a good number of folks come up to me, puzzled looks on their faces, asking that very question. Especially when they learn I'm based right in the heart of the Northern Territory (NT). It's a fair question, and I'm always excited to dive into the story behind our name. So, let's unravel the mystery together, shall we?

The story behind "Southern Skin Care"

First things first, the choice of "Southern Skin Care" over "Southern Skincare" was a deliberate one, loaded with more intention than meets the eye. Let’s break it down a bit.

"Skin Care" vs. "Skincare": A Broader Perspective

• Skin Care suggests a comprehensive approach. When we thought about what we wanted our brand to represent, it wasn't just about slapping on some cream and calling it a day. No, we envisioned a full spectrum of routines, practices, and products that together contribute to the overall health of your skin. By splitting "Skin Care," we're emphasising a dedication to all aspects of skin health—including hydration, nutrition, and protection, to name just a few.
• Skincare, though slightly different in perception, tends to lean towards a more product-focused meaning. While products are undeniably a crucial part of skin care, they're just one piece of the puzzle. We wanted to make sure our name encapsulated everything from healthy lifestyle choices to the rituals that keep your skin glowing.

Choosing "Southern" and Its Geographical Significance

Now, onto the "Southern" part. Yes, I'm based in the NT, and no, that's not traditionally considered the south. But here's the thing:

• Sense of Place: "Southern" in "Southern Skin Care" is a nod to Australia's position in the Southern Hemisphere, under the awe-inspiring Southern Cross. It's a reminder of our roots, our connection to this vast, beautiful land that's known for its rich diversity and stunning landscapes.
• Transience and Continuity: Being part of a military family, we're no strangers to moving. Military postings keep life interesting, to say the least. What "Southern" does for us, and what we hope it does for our customers, is create a sense of continuity and connection. No matter where in Australia we find ourselves—be it the tropical north, the bustling east coast, the remote west, or anywhere in between—the name "Southern Skin Care" remains apt and grounded in its geographical significance.
