Sense of Skin & Beauty: Elevating Skin Confidence Through Customised Care
Behind every successful skin clinic is a story—and for Brehanna Sanders, founder of Sense of Skin & Beauty, it’s one of passion, persistence, and a deep desire to help others feel confident in their own skin. With over 11 years in the industry and a personal journey that began with teenage acne and trialling product after product with no results, Bre knows firsthand how skin challenges can affect your selfesteem and mental wellbeing.
What started as a curiosity and determination to heal her own skin has grown into a thriving, client-focused clinic that prioritises education, customisation, and genuine care. Located in Queensland, Sense of Skin & Beauty has become known for its warm, welcoming approach and its dedication to treating the cause—not just the surface symptoms—of skin conditions.
We caught up with Bre to chat about her journey, her approach to skin health and what’s ahead for Sense of Skin & Beauty
Tell us a little about you, your business, and how your love for beauty all began.
I’ve proudly been in the beauty and skin industry for over 11 years now. From a young age, I was fascinated by skin—especially because I battled with acne as a teenager. My mum was a hairdresser, so beauty was always part of our world. She would constantly research products and treatments in an effort to help me, but back then, the educational side of skin health wasn’t as accessible as it is today.
I tried just about everything—from over-the-counter products to different forms of contraception—hoping for a miracle fix, but nothing worked. That experience stuck with me. It was frustrating and lonely, and I felt like there had to be a better way. That’s what sparked my passion: I wanted to be the person I never had during my own skin journey. Helping others feel confident and educated about their skin became my mission—and that’s how Sense of Skin & Beauty was born.
What sets you apart from other clinics in the area?
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter treatments—because no two skins are ever the same, so why treat them that way? Every client who walks through our doors receives a fully customised treatment plan and a tailored homecare prescription designed just for them.
We take the time to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. We don’t just treat symptoms—we treat the cause, so we can create long-lasting, visible results.
Could you elaborate on the supporting services you offer to enhance your clients’ overall well-being?
Absolutely. For us, skin is more than skin deep. We know how much skin conditions can impact someone’s self-confidence and mental well-being, so our approach is always holistic and compassionate. Whether a client is dealing with acne, pigmentation, or ageing concerns, we aim to not only treat the skin but to uplift their confidence and provide emotional support along the way. We also offer lifestyle and wellness advice when needed because everything is connected— and when clients feel supported inside and out, the results speak for themselves.
How do you ensure that your team stays updated with the latest advancements in skincare and beauty treatments?
We’re passionate about education—it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. I truly believe you can never stop learning, especially in an industry that’s evolving so rapidly. We regularly attend workshops, advanced training, and brand education sessions to stay ahead. It’s important to me that my team feels empowered with knowledge and that we’re constantly growing both personally and professionally.
In a challenging economic climate, what strategies have helped you sustain and grow your business?
Flexibility and personalisation have been key. We’ve developed customised treatment programs that are results-driven but also mindful of our clients’ budgets and goals.
Our membership options have also been a game changer, providing clients with ongoing support and consistency, while also offering great value. It’s a win-win—they stay on track with their skin goals, and we build trust and loyalty over time.
What role does client education play in your approach to skincare, and how do you empower clients to maintain healthy skin between visits?
Client education is at the core of our consultation process. We want our clients to understand what’s really happening in their skin—not just hand them a product and hope for the best.
By helping them understand their skin type, concerns, and what’s driving those issues, we empower them to take control of their skincare journey. It builds trust, encourages consistency, and most importantly, creates lasting results. Education truly is the foundation of transformation.
You are a full Circadia Clinic—can you tell us why you chose to partner with Circadia?
Circadia has been on my radar for over six years. I was first introduced to the brand in the U.S. and was instantly intrigued by their scientific approach and incredible results. I watched closely over the years, and what really drew me in was their philosophy—their ‘why’ behind skin health aligned so perfectly with ours. They don’t just offer products—they offer understanding, innovation, and customisation. Circadia feels like a partner, not just a supplier.
What do you love about Circadia?
Where do I start? The versatility of their range is incredible. Circadia allows us to treat a wide variety of skin conditions with confidence, and every product has purpose. But beyond that, it’s the ability to customise treatments in a way that truly suits each individual client. That kind of flexibility is invaluable in-clinic.
What are some of the standout products from the Circadia range that your clients love, and why do you think they resonate so well with your clientele?
Honestly, our clients love the entire range—but if I had to pick one, the Light Day Sunscreen would be a standout. Being based in Queensland, where the heat and humidity can be extreme, it’s a product that fits seamlessly into their daily routines without feeling heavy or greasy. The whole range resonates because it’s effective, easy to use, and tailored to real skin issues—not just trends.
What future plans do you have for Sense of Skin & Beauty, and are there any new services or initiatives on the horizon?
We’re excited about what’s to come! We’re currently in the process of expanding our team so we can continue offering the high level of care and personalisation our clients know us for.
We’re also exploring some new advanced facial services and techniques that will complement our existing menu and allow us to deliver even more targeted results. It’s all about continuing to evolve, grow, and support our community in the best possible way.
