In today’s episode of MECCA Talks, Kate is joined by Allies of Skin founder Nicolas Travis. With a degree in biomedical and pharmaceutical science, a master’s in international business and a history of severe acne and reconstructive facial surgery, Nicolas created Allies of Skin from a desire to rebuild his own confidence, and to demystify skincare, making it simple, accessible and – above all else – efficacious.Nicolas’ unbelievably smooth, glassy skin is proof enough that the brand delivers on the words printed on each bottle (and the science-backed formulas within them) – however, if you’re searching for more, you’ll discover famous fans in the likes of Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, Niall Horan, January Jones and Henry Golding.  Having launched in 2016 with just three products, Allies of Skin has reached cult status in record time – hit play to find out why.Content warning: This episode touches on themes of mental health and suicide.

How Allies of Skin turned founder Nicolas Travis’ life (and skin) around

After battling with acne-prone skin, Nicolas decided to take matters into his own hands. With a background in biomedical and pharmaceutical science, he was always fascinated with how the skin works as an organ. That curiosity led him to eventually launch, not just one, but TWO best-selling global skincare brands rooted in research and science. Today, I sit down with him to learn about his journey from biomedical sciences to advertising to beauty and how he took learnings from all three industries to create two successful skincare brands in just 5 years. Founded Beauty is available on all podcast platforms and we release new episodes every Monday and Thursday so be sure to follow the podcast to be notified. We really appreciate every single listen, share, and review. It goes such a long way and helps us reach new listeners. As a little thank you, I will be hosting a giveaway each week on my Instagram channel (@mehta_a) where you can win some exciting goodies. Follow Akash and Nicolas:Akash Mehta: @mehta_aFable &amp; Mane: @fableandmanewww.fableandmane.comNicolas Travis: @nicolastravis_Allies of Skin and PSA Skin: @alliesofskin @psaskin www.alliesofskin.com www.psaskin.comFor more information about Founded Beauty please visit: www.foundedbeauty.com#foundedbeauty Hosted on Acast.

Allies Of Skin & PSA - Creating Two Global Skincare Brands In Just 5 Years ft. Nicolas Travis

Is it any wonder that Nicolas Travis has an amazing complexion? The man is behind local cult beauty brand Allies of Skin, which boasts clean and effective products that are stocked in big-name retailers around the world including Sephora, Harrods, Net-a-Porter, Space NK, and Galeries Lafayette.   However, behind that flawlessness is a backstory of imperfections and faith. Nicolas launched his own skincare label because he became increasingly dissatisfied with the products that claimed to treat his severe acne. Somewhere along the way, Nicolas also suffered a major fall, that saw him sink into a period of depression.   In the fifth episode of Buro's Brave Living, the tenacious founder talks to our host Simone Heng about his unusual childhood, how he struggled to find his footing in the beauty industry, and his unwavering commitment to his dreams.    Hit play to get inspired!  00:00 Growing up Estranged from his biological parents when he was just three months old, Nicolas was raised by his nanny, whose family he calls “an incredible blessing”. It was in this self-made household that he learnt the value of hard work and self-reliance.  03:44 Starting from scratch Nicolas shares how, as a biomedical undergrad, he had always been fascinated with skin. It was only after unfulfilling stints in advertising and PR that he considered building a skincare business on his own. However, it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine in the beginning. He recounts how he was constantly worried about money and working with major retailers.  22:18 A life-changing moment  A major fall in Nicolas’ younger days changed him. He sunk into depression and was on antidepressants for years. After popping mood-adjusting pills for a decade, Nicolas decided to stop medicating and, under the advice of his shrink at the time, made a bucket list of his dreams.  31:08 On the horizon  Nicolas reveals his expansion plans for Allies of Skin in terms of products and distribution. He concludes with words of encouragement: “The grass is not greener on the other side; it’s green where you water it.”   For more inspiring stories, subscribe and tune in every fortnight to Buro.'s Brave Living with Simone Heng.
