We’re getting up close on skin care

January; as the post-Christmas haze begins to lift, it's time to embrace fresh starts and go back to basics. For some that means New Year's resolutions. For us, this month is all about getting up close and personal with our {skin} to give it the TLC it deserves. No filter, no photoshop… just skin. We’re stripping things back and we’re getting up close with real skin in its natural, beautiful state.

Why? Well, after months of lockdown-induced video calls (Zoom catch up, anyone?), we’ve grown increasingly fixated on our faces, picking at so-called ‘flaws’ and taking umbrage with every tiny little mark and {blemish}. Such scrutiny has taken its toll; one in 10 women reported noticing more ‘flaws’ in her appearance while on video calls — a stat we do not like the sound of.

But our skin is our biggest organ, and it changes and adapts just as we do; it’s the unique canvas upon which {scars}, lines and marks tell the story of where we’ve been. Shouldn’t we celebrate and care for it as it really is? We believe so, and this month we’re continuing our mission to change the way we think about our skin by embracing it in all its real and unfiltered glory. 

Of course, embracing our skin doesn’t mean simply throwing more and more at it. It means discovering what skin really wants and needs on the surface and within. So this month, we’ll be bringing you the best in class advice and products for keeping it in tip-top health — yes, we’re going to be harping on about your {microbiome}  — with tips and tricks from ourknowledgeablecommunity of skintellectuals. 

To kick off proceedings, we’re excited to announce the return of our Skin Care Sessions summit. This very special one-day virtual event will see ourknowledgeablecommunity of skintellectuals, from influencers to industry experts, come together for a day of panels exploring all things skin. The best news? You’re invited to join us!

There will be four talks taking place throughout the day, each carefully curated to help you learn more about your skin, with insider access to industry experts and future trends to watch. Our hope is that you’ll leave the sessions feeling more confident and in touch with your skin than ever before.
