About Lisa VanBockern. 

Lisa VanBockern created and founded Skin Script Skin Care in 2007. Lisa began her education at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ and began a career in accounting and computer information systems. At the age of 40, Lisa discovered the beauty industry and quickly re-careered as an aesthetician within the medspa industry. In her excitement she pre-ordered the Milady's Aesthetic textbook and read the entire textbook two weeks prior to the start of her aesthetic school. As an aesthetician she became passionate about designing products and procedures to truly create a difference on each individual client. Her passion was found! 

After many years Lisa worked with a chemist designing products both for homecare and in the treatment room to achieve distinguishable results. She launched Skin Script in 2007 and took it to the aesthetic market in 2008. Skin Script soon became the "go to" product line for fruit-based enzymes. Her avenues of marketing included in-person product knowledge trainings and trade shows throughout the United States. Lisa's motto is "Education Will Set You Free" regardless of what industry you choose. Never stop learning. Never stop searching for your passion.
