Kyla Decker arrives at the clinic looking stylish in her new, blush-pink raincoat, and we agree that having a coloured rain jacket is essential for our dark and rainy winters. After drying off from the rain, we settle in, and begin discussing how Kyla went from graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Victoria to becoming clinical director at Renu Laser and Skin Care Centre.
B次元官网网址淢y dad wanted to branch out from his medical practice as a family practitioner into aesthetics. He asked If I wanted to get into the business with him, and now we have been practising for a combined 15 years,B次元官网网址� explains Kyla.
ItB次元官网网址檚 hard not to notice how radiant KylaB次元官网网址檚 skin is.
B次元官网网址淚 have always been into skincare and skin health. IB次元官网网址檝e practised the full skin regime of washing your face, and using toner and moisturizer since grade 9. I love that I now get to educate my clients on skincare too.B次元官网网址�
Showing me one of her one of her go-to products, she says, B次元官网网址淚 donB次元官网网址檛 wear foundation, instead I wear a powdered sunscreen and put it on every morning. Sunscreen is so important! ItB次元官网网址檚 easier to prevent sun damage than to fix it later down the road.B次元官网网址�
In addition to using sunscreen everyday, she says, photorejuvenation is also important: B次元官网网址淚 think everyone who is a candidate for the treatment should have it once a year. It gets rid of all the reds and browns that most of us have, and it makes your skin just glow.B次元官网网址�
KylaB次元官网网址檚 love of fashion became evident as she displayed outfit options for the photo shoot. In discussing style, Kyla confesses she tends to be an B次元官网网址渆motional dresser.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址淚f IB次元官网网址檓 tired or not feeling the best, I like to dress cosy. If IB次元官网网址檓 feeling vibrant and everything is great, I will dress up. I donB次元官网网址檛 particularly follow every trend. I tend to choose what works best for me. IB次元官网网址檓 more classic with a twist.B次元官网网址�
B次元官网网址�
Outside of work, Kyla runs, hikes and takes spin classes.
B次元官网网址淚 also love to go camping, and do other outdoor adventures with my husband and two young daughters.B次元官网网址�
Kyla is very close to her family, and asked about her future, she points out how lucky she is to have a good work/life balance at the moment.
B次元官网网址淚 want to have time with my family. We are a very close family, with my dad being the physician here at the clinic. My mom is a nurse at Brentwood. And I try to savour the moments I have with the kids B次元官网网址� the cuddles, books and the B次元官网网址業 love youB次元官网网址檚.B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址�
Being a good role model to her children is very important to Kyla, who sometimes gets asked how she explains to her girls what she does at work.
B次元官网网址淲e talk about it as skin health, and why itB次元官网网址檚 important for people to care for it. You can be a strong woman, a strong mom B次元官网网址� beautiful from the inside and out! You can also take care of yourself. ItB次元官网网址檚 not a bad thing. ItB次元官网网址檚 also important to have kindness and empathy towards other girls/women, and try to accept that everyone is different in how they feel beauty looks to them.B次元官网网址�
