OUR STORY.
Sara Stokes, a former music industry executive launched SKN TO SKN with a simple mission: to empower mothers, and provide skin solutions that make a real difference during pregnancy.
Hi, I’m Sara, founder of SKN TO SKN and proud mother of two little girls.
When I was pregnant with my first child in 2020, I struggled with severe skin issues—acne, dryness, and heightened sensitivity—all triggered by the surge of pregnancy hormones.
It wasn’t until I was six months along that I realised I had been using the wrong skincare products. Some contained retinol and high concentrations of other active ingredients that not only worsened my skin but could also have posed potential risks to my unborn child.
Shocked by how little I knew about which skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy, I set out to find pregnancy-safe solutions.
I visited my local high street retailer, only to be directed to the maternity section — tucked between nappies and baby food — where I found stretch mark creams, nipple balms, and products designed for both mother and baby, but nothing specifically for my face. The conflicting information I found online only added to my confusion, making me feel overlooked and undervalued in an area that should have been a priority.
Two years later, when I was pregnant again, I noticed that nothing had changed.
I was shocked to learn that 90% of women experience severe and complex skin issues during pregnancy, yet there were no dedicated solutions available. As one of them, I realised there was a significant gap in the market for safe, effective facial skincare products designed specifically for women who are trying to conceive, pregnant, breastfeeding, or navigating postpartum recovery.
With a toddler and a newborn in tow, I made the life-changing decision to leave my 15-year career in the music industry to launch SKN TO SKN.
Today, I am proud to have built an incredible team of respected consultant dermatologists, GPs, and expert formulators, all of whom are mothers themselves.
Together, we are committed to reassuring women with safe, effective skincare solutions.
Our mission goes beyond creating trusted products; we aim to educate and empower women with the knowledge they need to confidently care for their skin at every stage, whether they’re trying to conceive (naturally or with fertility treatments), pregnant, breastfeeding, or in postpartum recovery.
