Black Skin Directory – Joint Winner at Aesthetics Awards

Black Skin Directory – Joint Winner at Aesthetics Awards

4 December, 2018

Professional Initiative of the Year

Congratulations to our friends at the Black Skin Directory for being voted joint winner in the esteemed Professional Initiative of the Year category. 

Aesthetics Awards

Their award entry summarises the innovative website as follows:

Black Skin Directory is the first of its kind, making it a unique pioneering platform designed to foster open and honest communication in the aesthetic and general skincare industry about the needs of patients of colour.

We are a young but dynamic service that aims to support skin of colour patients, elevate available skincare information pertaining to darker skin tones through education and events, but also to ensure the clinics and practitioners listed who have a high degree of experience in treating skin of colour are highlighted and promoted to the demographic.

At times, the aesthetic industry takes a one-size fits all approach to patients, forgetting the unique physiologies and cultural sensibilities that make us different and diverse. Our research showed us that this shouldn’t be the case and we feel it is important to actively address and promote diversity within the industry. Patient groups have diverse interests and skin of colour patients often have specific questions about products and treatments, which were not being seen to be addressed.

The award winner was chosen from the finalists using a combination of 30% Aesthetics reader votes and 70% judges scores.

Black Skin Directory

The Black Skin Directory is a new website which was established to provide information specifically geared to the needs of black skin, with advice and recommendations on products, treatments and professionals. It also now incorporates an online skincare shop with skincare ranges and items carefully chosen to meet the needs of patients with skin of colour.
