Kim announced her skin care line, SKKN BY KIM, in June 2022. In the brand’s press release for its June 21 launch, she wrote that her own health struggles inspired the brand. Many Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans will recall Kim getting diagnosed with psoriasis on the show. The skin care condition can cause dry, irritating rashes across one’s body.
She explained that after her diagnosis, she relentlessly searched for ways to heal her complexion and soon learned the ins and outs of the business.
“What began as a psoriasis diagnosis became the catalyst for my journey of skin care discoveries, inspiring me to learn more about my skin and how to care for it," Kim shared in the press release, per Harper's Bazaar. "Working with some of the top dermatologists and estheticians over the years has given me the incredible opportunity to learn from their expertise — and I knew I had to share my learnings."
In addition to her press release, a promotional photo shoot gave fans a sneak peek of Skkn’s products, including nude-colored packaging. Kim’s line includes several everyday skin care options like a cleanser, toner, vitamin C8 serum, and an exfoliator. According to Allure, the line’s nine-step line was intentional, as Kim wanted to stay authentic to her skin care routine.
