Our Story
As someone with sensitive skin, Allyson Shirley had struggled for years to find products that wouldn’t aggravate her skin. That challenge was the catalyst that eventually drove her to begin working on her own products, and those products ultimately became part of the Allyson Skincare line. “I became involved in skincare at a very early age,” Allyson explains. “Having troubled skin myself, I saw a need for good skincare that was for all skin types and for people like me, with very sensitive skin.”
A licensed esthetician and the owner of a salon/spa, Allyson had grown up involved in the beauty industry through modeling and pageants. Naturally, that involvement required her to take care of her skin which fed the passion that later drove her career. It was during her time as an esthetician that she began studying skincare products and their ingredients. “I conducted studies and tests to help others who were dealing with so many skin issues and worked with chemists to learn what, in my profession, was making a difference,” said Allyson. “One thing that always concerned me was that, through my work and doing facials, I saw so many people who had troubled skin issues resulting from the use of different skincare lines that contained preservatives. I found that it was those preservatives that were causing the problems, so I started mixing special ingredients for my clients based on their individual needs. The skincare line evolved from there, and it became extremely popular with my clients because everyone who used it saw amazing results.”
Those results are a testament to the efficacy of the ingredients used in Allyson’s line — none of which are harsh to the skin. “My products give your skin exactly what it needs for repair, whether you struggle with acne issues or want to restore elasticity, replenish dehydrated skin, increase collagen production, or lighten areas with sun damage,” she said. “The ingredients work amazingly to give your skin that perfect balance.”
Naturally, having her products available to her clients isn’t the extent of Allyson’s goals. “My passion has become my drive, and my plan for the future is to get my line into the marketplace,” says Allyson. “My life’s mission has been in helping others, and it brings me great pride and joy to see Allyson Skincare helping so many people.”
