Andrea Taylor announces the release of her own brand Mediterranean Tan, Wax and Beauty.
In what can only be described as a woman of action, Andrea Taylor has released her own brand of spray tan, wax and beauty products. Andrea has done this in a very short period of time – commencing the project during the Christmas break. It was a passionate for providing quality products at an affordable price that led Andrea to launch the brand.
A country girl at heart, Andrea was born in a small country town in the Wimmera. “Growing up was tough, there was not a lot of money,” says Andrea. “In what we lacked in financial resources we made up for in love and innovation. I was fortunate to have strong women around me throughout my life who were also caring and compassionate… Mum encouraged us all to get a good education so that as a young woman I could take care of myself and be able to make choices about my future. I attended a primary school for the disadvantaged and was often picked on for the clothes I wore. My haven was the school library where I would spend every possible moment. In the library I could escape into reading about all sorts of people. This pattern continued throughout high school and into university days.”
“The one thing I learnt throughout this process was that there are people who came from worse backgrounds than I did who were able to do amazing things with their lives. It was not about being the smartest, prettiest, wealthiest but it was about being true to one’s self, being persistent and doing it better than the next person while remaining humble.”
After studying nursing Andrea became an intensive care nurse and worked in some of the largest intensive care units in Australia. She assisted in the establishment of Melbourne Private Hospital and several other regional programs often launching them in rapid time frames. Andrea’s answer is that while others sit around and talk about it she just gets on with it. It has been this approach that has allowed her to achieve a string of academic qualifications including a MBA from Monash whilst working fulltime.
It was whilst working fulltime in a regional town that Andrea decided to open a beauty salon. “It was my first real experience in beauty industry. Growing up I preferred to drive cars, ride motor bikes and generally be a bit of a tom boy,” says Andrea. Andrea set about gaining qualifications in beauty and later employed staff to help broaden the salons services.
“Through my experience of growing up and later caring for extremely sick people, I realised that one person can make a difference. It doesn’t cost anything to smile, to encourage someone or to take the time to just reach out. So not one to sit by, I have released my own brand where I do not feel that I need to compromise my own integrity. I think that anyone who likes the Amber Sun, Black Out and One products will love my products too. Anybody buying Mediterranean Tan, Wax and Beauty products can feel assured they do not contain Propylene Glycol, Erythrulose or Ethanol,” states Andrea Taylor.
The Mediterranean Tan has been made from a range of local and exotic ingredients and blended using the latest scientific techniques in an organic certified laboratory. The range which commenced with only two tans now has over nine spray tans, a full retail and professional range. Andrea says that already a large group of distributors has taken up the brand in recognition of the quality of the product.
