Hey there! I am Helen Harrington, the founder of REMY.
I firmly believe in a healthier personal care industry that you can trust. My aim is to formulate and promote healthy products along with sharing my research and inspiring my readers about getting their hands on effective products that promote beautiful and healthy skin.
How it started
I was working in academia following the arrival of our first child and then became a full-time mummy after the birth of our seco
nd child. It was at this time that I started experiencing increasing signs of aging in my skin which were inevitable with being over 30 years of age, taking more care of the kids than myself and the toll of having to deal with two kids who wouldn’t sleep through the night. Like many of you, I didn’t know a lot about the truth behind the health and beauty products on the market but wanted an easy yet effective product that didn’t contain harsh ingredients that could harm my sometimes sensitive skin. That’s when I set out to find healthy skin care solutions to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and that wouldn’t take a full day to implement.
What motivated me?
Being a science geek (I’m proud of this!) and having an extensive laboratory experience of growing epithelial cells, I couldn't help but scrutinize the ingredients more than most people. Knowing that the key to successful epithelial cell growth was a result of the cells receiving their nutrients to grow from underlying tissue and having the right nutrients I began to research dietary supplements aimed at promoting healthy, youthful looking skin.
Normally, we provide these essential nutrients through our diet but sometimes due to hectic lifestyle and poor eating habits we deprive our body of the vitamins, minerals, and other supplements it needs to stay in its optimal shape. Aging and changes to our body such as approaching the menopause are other factors that entails additional nutrition to compensate for decline in nutrient absorption and the loss of the body’s natural ability to synthesize proteins such as collagen, a crucial component required for healthy, youthful skin.
To my surprise, there were very few non-gimmicky options available in the health and beauty industry that worked well and also products that would support the health of my skin through the different life-stages. So, I decided to create meaningful nutraceutical products and effective serums that absorbs well into the skin and started REMY, a skincare company dedicated to this very purpose.
My blogs will help you find real and honest answers to all your skincare woes. My vision is to provide you empowering information to make easier to achieve healthy, radiant skin no matter what lifestage you are at.
