Skin Proud – the sustainable skincare our beauty editor is obsessed with

Proud to be pushing boundaries in the world of skincare, Skin Proud is exactly that, proud, to be able to bring products in a sustainable, reasonably priced way with products that actually do what they say on the tin.

Cruelty-free, Vegan, paraben free, and sustainable they’re a brand that is proud of the planet and as their mission states, they are committed to finding more ways to bring sustainability into your skincare routine, which is something I am here for. The outer packaging on all of their products is made with FSC card and printed with planet-friendly soy ink.

One of the things I love most about Skin Proud is how much they champion body and skin positivity which is not often something you see from a skincare brand. They promise zero retouching on their model images and prefer to show skin exactly how it should be shown, completely free from retouching.

With cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and much more their gentle vegan formulas have something for every skin type, so whether you’re looking to overhaul your skincare routine or add in one or two products you will find what you’re after via their website and via ASOS.

I absolutely adore their packaging, clean and colourful I have been a fan of Skin Proud after being introduced to their products last year. I love how affordable their products are with key ingredients to maintain and promote skin health in every product.

I’ve luckily been gifted some new products, however, all thoughts are my own after testing.

Skin Proud - the sustainable skincare our beauty editor is obsessed with

Sorbet Skin, everyday jelly moisturiser | £13.95

Bursting with a powerful 4-part hyaluronic acid complex for results on all levels this sorbet-like gel feels amazing on the skin. Ultra hydrating and lightweight, this oil-free gel locks in moisture for dewy, healthy, and glowing skin. It also smells like sweets!

My skin has felt quite sensitive of late so I was reluctant to try new products however even after just a couple of days of use my skin felt more nourished than ever! I’d also highly recommend it if you suffer from sensitive or irritated skin.

Skin Proud Sleep defense overnight mask | £14.95

If your skin is feeling dehydrated, worn out, and looking a little dull this hydrating overnight mask is powered with kombucha to help combat signs of irritation and skin-softening niacinamide to hydrate and balance the skin. I love applying this as the final step in my evening skincare routine and sleeping with it on, the next morning my skin always feels refreshed, energized, and much more radiant. Dermatologically tested it’s also fragrance-free so works well with a more sensitive skin type. it also feels much more lightweight on the skin in comparison to other face masks. It sinks into the skin like a dream!

Skin Proud review

Detox Tonic, exfoliating toner | £14.95

One of my favourite products to date this daily tonic can be used morning or night and works hard to rid dead skin cells whilst keeping the skin hydrated. Using a balance of AHAs it has been enriched with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and cooling aloe vera helping to unclog the pores whilst combating blemishes. If you’re having a hormonal breakout this tonic will become your best friend! If you struggle with larger pores you may benefit from adding this tonic into your skincare routine, helping to keep skin clear. I’m also a huge fan of the applicator, which helps to not waste product!

Unplug, white clay mask | £12.95

If you’re suffering from clogged pores this is the ideal face mask to unplug! Formulated with sebum-absorbing white clay, amino acid to moisturize and a free radical fighting active, unlike some masks this doesn’t leave your skin feeling dry. if anything this gives your skin a hit of hydration. I also felt this mask left my skin much smoother than before and worked well before applying makeup for a night out. The fact it’s in stick form is actual genius to me! no mess, no fuss, and super easy to apply! An absolute must in your weekly skincare routine.
