How does a young girl obsessed with the entertainment industry go from special effects make up to running a wildly successful, internationally renowned beauty company?
When Camille Della Santina was thirteen years old, she had a strong conviction that she would be a screen writer, and worked incredibly hard towards that dream.
She read every book on film making she could get her hands on and urged her parents to take her to the movie theaters as often as they could. The notion of writing and going through the process of watching her characters and narrative come to life fascinated and intrigued her through Junior High, all the way to college.
It held her in good stead as Camille became a recognisedindustry veteran, working as a makeup artist on some of the biggest blockbuster movies in Hollywood.
Armed with a background in special effects and also beauty make up, Camille became a sought after talent, and was able to bring her skills to shows such as — Ted 2, Inglorious Bastards, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Austin Powers in Goldmember, Minority Report, Vanilla Sky, The Cell, Star Trek: First Contact, and TV series like Star Trek, Firefly, The Stand, Eerie, Indiana, The Bold & The Beautiful and many others.
DEVELOPING THE DECOLLETTE PAD
It was during this time that Camille had discovered that once she took off the silicone prosthetics the actors were wearing, their skin underneath looked smoother and healthier.
This discovery was further fuelled by her doctor recommending that she apply silicone gel sheets to her thyroid surgery scar. She realized that after a short amount of time, the scar was less noticeable, and the surrounding skin looked smooth.
Camille went on to invent the Original Decollette Pad over 20 years ago now, and the range has extended out to cover other areas of concern where wrinkles are commonly an issue and options are limited or potentially invasive.
All manufacture is undertaken in Los Angeles as Camille chose a manufacturer with whom she could work closely to ensure the best quality is ensured.
Camille’s story is one of hard work and perseverance as all good stories often are. That is why, whenever you wear a Silcskin Pad, you are wearing the best quality and original 100% medical grade silicone patches available
