Meet Sarah Payne of Sarah Nicole Skincare

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Payne.

Sarah, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’ve worked in the beauty industry as an esthetician for close to ten years now. After a long spa career, I wanted something new and exciting. But at the same time, I wanted to help women on a bigger scale than what I could do one-on-one in the treatment room. Every day I helped women overcome skin problems that were impacting their confidence and self-worth. And after battling my own personal skin hell, I realized the emotional relationship women have with their skin is a universal experience we all share. It doesn’t matter your skin tone, socioeconomic situation, age, and frankly your gender. We often tie in our appearance to our worth and value, and this is particularly true for women. I’m on a mission to help women overcome not only their tangible skin problems but rewrite the story we tell ourselves that’s impacting our emotional wellbeing, too.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We’ve had our fair share of obstacles, starting a business isn’t easy and challenges you in a number of ways. Personally, the most profound obstacles have been within me. I’ve had to work through false beliefs and fears I had surrounding sharing my ideas with the world because even though I believe in them wholeheartedly, it’s a vulnerable position to put yourself in. I’ve experienced a lot of growth through the challenges I’ve faced.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
Combining a less is more skincare approach with a little bit of self-love and compassion, Sarah Nicole Skincare helps women find the freedom within themselves to feel more confident and beautiful in their natural skin. We believe everyone deserves to experience feeling beautiful and free, regardless of age, tone, or the skin troubles you’re dealing with. We’re hyper-focused on supporting our community in developing a positive relationship with their skin in an authentic way that has longlasting impacts on their emotional wellbeing.

From a skincare perspective, we’re focused on skin health first and offer an intimate range of products to support skin barrier health. Often overlooked, the skin barrier is key to fixing many problematic skin issues we all experience–from dryness, dehydration, sensitivity, fine lines, and dull uneven skin tone. Our products are results-driven without compromising the integrity of your skin by using tried and true ingredients in gentle formulations.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
This is a nice reminder to think back on how far we’ve come, even when it doesn’t look exactly like you envisioned. When you’re in the trenches, it’s easy to take for granted the challenges and risks you took on when starting your own business. I’d have to say my proudest moment was the day our products arrived with my name printed on them… it was surreal. I laid on the floor for a long while just staring at the bottles–it all started as an idea my partner and I had, we had barely scratched the surface of this adventure. And seeing the bottles, it finally felt tangible, like I was at the starting gate and it was time to pull all facets of our vision together.
