Our Philosophy

At The Skin Nerd, our core philosophy is that we put the 'care' in 'skincare'. Throughout all The Skin Nerd facets, including Cleanse Off Mitt, Nerd Network online skin consultations, the book and Skingredients, that rings true. 

Not only do we care for skin health, we care for humans, and our endgame in everything is to educate as a means to empowerment and confidence. When we receive messages from our clients and customers that they feel better about their skin and themselves, we light up. It puts the wheels of our ideas brains in motion. It is the fuel that feeds the nerdie engine that could. 

We also commit to being... 

• Real: we try to tell it like it is 
• Human: because we're all only human, after all 
• Educational: if you're not learning, our fire ain't burning
