Meet anastasia
Hi! I'm Anastasia, the Founder and Owner of Second Skin.
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 that 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.

Second Skin is an online consignment store for pre-owned skincare, haircare and beauty products.
Selling with us is as easy as getting your products to us. We feature them on our website, provided they have met our product criteria, and you can earn up to 60% of the sale price once your product has sold.
Shopping with us is as easy as browsing through our selection of products online. Every product has its relevant key info – whether it’s unopened or opened, how much product is left and when it was first opened. New products are added weekly, so there’s always a lot of variety.
Since launching our website...

- Worked with over 2,000 incredible Sellers.
- Launched "Free Samples with Purpose", giving those easy-to-accumulate free samples a way to be used up.
