The NZ Board of Professional Skin Therapies

With The Boards continued growth and expansion the Governance Committee are delighted to announce our supportive relationship with Beauty Forum Magazine a progressive and independent industry focused publication. Over the last couple of years many people have wanted to know how The NZ Board of Professional Skin Therapies came about and who we are. We are a professional “Watchdog” organisation established in 2019 after a plea from therapists wanting better representation, regulations, and structure.
