“ Dija is a dynamic, respected and authoritative voice within the aesthetician and skincare space. It's crucial to have someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Dija to advocate on behalf of people of colour regarding our particular skincare concerns. Especially as misconceptions about black skin continue to exist which then negatively impacts on treatments we choose to have. This lady knows so her stuff, so if she says that we need to wear sunscreen – we'd better listen up!”
