Should you’ve been a part of The Skinny Confidential group for a when you can bear in mind years in the past after I was blabbing about my obsession with caffeinated sunscreen.
Blabbed about it perpetually. I couldn’t recover from a SPF with caffeine, one thing in regards to the thought of pairing SPF with caffeine was simply IT for me. Who doesn’t need their face tightened whereas it’s protected?
(If you wish to go down reminiscence lane: sunscreen psycho in 2013, how one can apply it to your eyelids in 2017 and how one can contact up your SPF in 2022 with out fucking up your make-up. To not point out probably the most mentions in between. From obnoxious visors, scorching pink balaclavas, driving gloves and a whole guide, solar safety has been the core of The Skinny Confidential).
So at present’s the day. We’re launching caffeinated mineral sunscreen…AND it occurs to be the identical day as our anniversary sale. Consider it as a strategy to have a good time the launch and to have a good time you, the OG readers and listeners. It’s an enormous second, that’s been years within the making and strategically launching forward of spring and summer time at 20% off so you’ll be able to top off.
Backstory, as a result of that’s all the time enjoyable: once we began formulating our personal sunscreen it was going to be a chemical sunscreen. I attempted it. I cherished it. After which I had an epiphany. We wanted to modify it to mineral. That’s proper, midway via improvement we began realizing that we may deliver you one thing higher. One thing cleaner, more healthy and extra environment friendly. So we pivoted and switched our components to a bodily, mineral-based sunscreen. Value an arm and a leg but it surely needed to be good.
It pushed the timeline, however we needed to deliver you probably the most elevated, wonderful sunscreen. One which lifts and tightens. One which protects and hydrates. One which nourishes however is non-greasy and light-weight. Most significantly- one which seamlessly matches into your skincare routine. One of the best half? No white forged, only a dewy glow. It would even lay properly below your make-up, which is appreciated. The image beneath is me with ONLY this caffeinated SPF on. No make-up. It’s simply so good and was definitely worth the wait.
With this upcoming launch I spent some reflecting on the previous few years and, as I usually do, flipped open Get The Fuck Out Of The Solar. When writing it, one of many foremost issues that caught out to me was that just about each single individual talked about the significance of sunscreen. That they all the time put on SPF, they’re telling you to put on SPF, they WISH they wore it once they have been youthful.
Studying Dr. Dennis Gross’ foreword gave me chills- it’s very full circle for a sunscreen launch:
Lauryn’s fame preceded her—notably amongst dermatologists. After I met her in individual for the primary time, I already knew about her militant skincare routine and her compulsive solar avoidance, particularly her driving gloves. I’ll always remember the primary time that I noticed these white gloves.I’d by no means have been capable of persuade my teenage daughters to put on them, but it surely was simple after Lauryn’s endorsement. I bear in mind considering, How f ***ing cool is that?! She has simply made solar safety stylish and trendy whereas additionally defending her pores and skin from UVA/UVB and the sunspots and wrinkles they trigger. After talking extra with Lauryn about her skincare routine, she checked all of the bins to earn the excellence of my finest affected person. She was the primary to confess she’s hooked on skin-care and obsessive about magnificence. Her ardour is an effective factor. –Dr. Dennis Gross, ‘Get the Fuck Out of the Solar’
Even the mission on the finish of the guide is becoming:
If this guide can affect ONE individual to spend an additional 10 minutes a day on self-care, and even persuade somebody to start out being preventative by carrying hats and utilizing sunscreen, I’ll die completely satisfied.
