Love working out but not the way your skin feels afterwards? Well there’s a new natural, cruelty-free and vegan skincare brand for those living an active lifestyle on the market, and it’s one made right here in Australia (Queensland, to be exact). Enter, PB SKN.
Turns out, icky skin isn’t the only downside to a sweaty workout—if you’re a massive gym junkie (or just do a lot of hot yoga), you could be more prone to premature ageing, dryness, wrinkles, redness and pigmentation. So while all that exercise is working wonders on your body, it could be wreaking havoc on your skin.
PB SKN is specifically designed to offset the effects of sweating it out, as well as sun damage and pollution for any runners or boot campers out there. You put a lot of effort into helping your muscles recover from a workout, so why not give the same attention to your skin? It is your biggest organ after all.
PB SKN founder, Jemma Salisbury, says, “We put our skin through A LOT when sweating, swimming, physically exerting ourselves and being exposed to other environmental elements like the sun or pollution. And, I noticed a huge gap in the market for skincare for those living active lifestyles. So, I set out to create a collection of products that would give our complexions the love and nourishment they need to recover from exercise.”
Packed with powerful active ingredients including hyaluronic acid, collagen, probiotics, green tea, and vitamins A, C and E, the PB SKN range features a cleanser, moisturiser and several serums, all of which will have your skin looking as good as your abs do.
Start your routine with Refresh Cleanser, a gel formula of herbal extracts, wheatgrass, green tea, alfalfa and chlorophyll, then layer up a serum like the bestselling Glow Gleam-Giver which is specially formulated for those who exercise outdoors—and have the uneven skin tone to prove it. You can finish your routine with their Restore Moisturiser, a non-greasy moisturiser to replenish and plump dehydrated skin. Think of it like stretching, rolling and chugging a protein shake after a tough workout.
What’s more, all the products are clean, natural, non-toxic, vegan-friendly and cruelty free. What a lot of boxes to tick, right? And they get another one for using recycled packaging.
