ABOUT SKIN BOSS
Welcome to Skin Boss Australia. Home of natural Australian owned and made beauty oils for beautifully nourished skin.
Created by husband and wife team Kirsten and Scott Smith, originally to help with Kirsten’s own skin issues, Skin Boss Australia is now helping thousands throughout Australia and New Zealand with their skin care needs.
In 2015, after suffering ongoing vision and balance problems, Kirsten was diagnosed with a rare condition known as IIH – Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
Left untreated, Kirsten faced the very real possibility of losing her eye sight.
The solution? A combination of medication and weight loss was prescribed by Kirsten’s neurologist, ophthalmologist and endocrinologist. The daily cocktail of medication Kirsten had to take, together with a weight loss of 28 kilos left Kirsten’s skin severely dehydrated.
Frustrated at not being able to find products capable of adequately hydrating and nourishing her skin, Kirsten decided to create her own.
Armed with a brief of exactly what she wanted in a product, Kirsten asked her husband Scott for blending and production assistance. With nearly 20 years experience creating and blending products for the automotive industry, Scott set about meeting Kirsten’s request – to use his extensive blending knowledge to develop a natural skin care product for her.
One that would nourish and hydrate her skin. Preferably one with a small list of ingredients that belonged on her face and not in a chemistry set.
Get Up and Glow was the result. A luxurious day face oil made from 100% plant oils specifically chosen for their ability to nourish and hydrate the skin.
Sleep On It soon followed. A luxe night oil blend, gently infused with lavender and chamomile essential oils to not only nourish the skin but also relax the mind, while drifting off to sleep.
Kirsten began using both the day and night face oils. After only a few weeks of use, family, friends and members of the Kirsten and co. blogging community began noticing an improvement in her skin and asking what products Kirsten was using.
Kirsten soon realised the face oils she had initially asked her husband to develop for her own skin needs, would also be able to help other women (and men) hydrate and nourish their skin too!
And so, Skin Boss Australia was launched to the public on 7th July 2017.
Drawing on her many years experience as an award-winning blogger/influencer, Kirsten developed and implemented a savvy pre-launch social media campaign which generated a wait list of over 300 Skin Boss customers.
Stock sold out within 24 hours of the Skin Boss Australia online store launching and within a week of operation, the customer reviews began rolling in.
Requests for a body oil quickly followed. Dedicated to helping her community of customers with their skin care needs, Kirsten put plans in place to make a body oil happen.
On December 2 2017, 5 months after Skin Boss Australia’s original range of face oils were released, Skin Boss Body Oils launched.
Featuring three luxurious and innovative natural body oil blends – created by Kirsten’s husband, Scott – Skin Boss Body Oils are the solution to nourishing a dry, dehydrated body.

Hi Kirsten I cant wait to try you new face oils. I’ve just purchased both of them. I’ve never had a problem with dry skin but now 1 year of my 60th EWWK !! my skin is now starting to dry a bit in patches and needs more hydration. Congratulations on your new venture I’ll being sitting patiently by the mail box waiting for my delivery
Lee
Hi Lee. Thanks so much for your order. It’s on its way to you – hydrated, nourished skin isn’t too far away now x
I don’t think I’ve ever been the excited to give a new product a go! Looking forward to making my skin feel loved again. xx
We’re excited too Michelle! And so grateful for your Skin Boss love xox
Hi , I’m just wondering how your makeup goes on & lasts over the oil base …do you need/use a primer before foundation ??
I currently use a different oil at night & find it stains my pillowcase quite badly , have you noticed this with your product ??
Thanks ,Di xx
Hi Di. Our blend is 100% natural with no nasties added. The Skin Boss day oil contains almond, jojoba, vitamin e, argan oils and nothing else. As a result it absorbs beautifully, rather than sitting on top of the skin. Using a primer is very much a personal choice. I don’t use one on the days when I’m wearing light makeup and I do use one when I want a more full coverage – the oil doesn’t affect the longevity of my makeup or primer at all. I simply apply the oil in the morning, give it a minute or two to absorb and then apply my makeup.
Further product information and instructions can be found here: https://www.skinboss.com.au/product/get-up-and-glow/
I spent months testing and using the oil blends my husband, Scott, developed before launching them online. I am such a perfectionist, I’m sure it drives Scott a little bit batty! I would never release a product that stained pillowcases. It certainly hasn’t happened during the last 6 months that I have been testing and using our night oil, Sleep On it (cotton and linen pillowcases used).
Hope all that information helps. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to ask x
I have just ordered both oils – looking forward to trying then out x
Thanks so much for your order Tania. We hope you love them x
Just ordered sleep on it. Can’t wait to try it. Wishing you all the success with this new venture Kirsten. It’s so damn exciting. x
Thanks so much Bec! So grateful for your support x
Can’t wait to try your products! My skin has been shocking since having my son over 3 years ago and is incredibly dry and sensitive. These oils sound fantastic! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be stalking the postman 😉 PS thanks to Styling Curvy for sending me your way
Hi Kirsty. I hope you’re loving your oils and they’re helping your skin. We’re big fans of Styling Curvy – thanks for letting us know how you found us 🙂 Kirsten x
Loved the product BUT unfortunately dropped it on the bathroom tiles that was not a get up and glow 😭
Oh no! That is a less than ideal way to start the day. I have a bit of a track record for dropping things (usually food down my front lol) but when it comes to bottles of product, I find the best way is to leave the bottle on the bench at all times. Otherwise, I’ll probably end up dropping it at some point. Hope that tip helps x
Hi I follow Jenni Eyles on Styling Curvy and I am going to Bali with her in March..I am always amazed at how her Skin Glows..always looks so Luscious..If that’s the right words to use?
My Mum has extremely wrinkled skin and I have Nightmares that it will happen to me? I constantly get told that I have beautiful skin I have always used top dollar skin products..but I don’t find that always brings the result I need?
I am starting to get more lines at nearly 61..I don’t go into the sun and I do use a 50 plus protector as advised by my dermatologist..I just want my skin to look as good as what Jenni’s does not sure if she uses your products or not? I have seen her mention them before..
I am not at all sure where to start..if anything I would say that my skin soaks up anything I put on it..so I assume that means I might be on the drier side..
Would you please be able to advise me what to start with as I just am unable to find anything I am happy using on my face..
My Kindest Regards, Jenniferx
Hi Jennifer. I think your skin would love our two face oil products. Get Up And Glow is our day face oil and Sleep On It is our night face oil. Both are super hydrating and nourishing on the skin and only contain natural plant based oils – no nasties in there = superior absorption into the skin. I hope that information helps. Kirsten x
