The mission

We give resale-friendly beauty items a second chance. It's a win-win for you and our planet.

FOUNDER & OWNER, SECOND SKIN

Meet Anastasia

I started Second Skin in April 2020 after purchasing a skincare product that my skin negatively reacted to. Although I had carefully researched the product, it wasn’t until I had bought it and tried it for myself that I knew it wasn’t for me – which left me with a near-new product that I had no use for and $55 out-of-pocket.

I realised there are so many reasons you might end up with a product that won’t get used up. Whether it’s because you were gifted a fragrance that isn’t your scent, purchased a foundation that wasn't a colour match or a skincare product that didn’t work for your skin. The reasons are endless, yet there wasn’t a solution in NZ for this. So that’s where Second Skin comes in - to help give the unloved products a chance to be loved by someone else.
