The industry's original Skin Awards are back for their sixth year with a fresh look and an even more considered list of categories. We've listened to your feedback and, following positive changes introduced last year, there are now even more sub-categories in response to what we know our skincare-obsessed readers are searching for. So whether your entry is a souped-up new formula or a hero product targeted to a specific skin type, you now have more opportunities to be recognised for your innovation.

We’re giving you the opportunity to enter into a number of face and body categories across cleanse, moisturise, treat, sustainability and new to market. Products can be launched at any time, unless the award falls under the new to market category.

The Marie Claire UK team will be joined by a panel of expert skincare-focused judges who will rigorously trial and test your products to help us uncover the most impressive skincare products in the market right now, and recognise brands acting sustainably and ethically. 

We’re also launching the in person event dedicated to the Marie Claire UK Skin Awards in London in November. This will be an exclusive opportunity for the winners to come collect their trophy and meet the beauty team. Winners will also be announced to our 8.6m strong audience, via exclusive winner content by the beauty team within a dedicated hub on marieclaire.co.uk. All winners will receive a complimentary carbon-neutral bamboo trophy and have the opportunity to purchase usage of the logo for marketing purposes.
