The Team

Hi there! My name is Sophia and I am the founder of Project Save our Skin. Our organization is located in Chicago, IL and we aim to donate skincare to those in need. Years ago, I started my skincare journey and learned how important skincare is for both health and confidence. Over time, I accumulated tons of skincare products, some of which I barely used. After talking to many peers, I learned that I was not the only one who had unused skincare at home. In fact, many people said they had made impulsive skincare purchases during quarantine, bought one too many travel sized products for their vacations, or even went through their own skincare journeys. Therefore, I started Project Save our Skin in order to put the extra products to good use and promote the ideas of healthy skin.

What We Do

We donate skincare to homeless shelters and domestic violence shelters in the Lake County area. We collect skincare products in return for stickers; you donate one skincare product, we give you one sticker. After you donate your product, we take it along with all the other donated products and distribute them amongst several shelters in the area. Once people receive them, they can use the skincare to achieve healthy skin and radiant confidence!
