The SkinOwl
Q: You're Annie Tevelin--But who is the SkinOwl?
A: The SkinOwl is my alter ego, adopted after years of fighting off Annie Tevelin’s skin problems! My mission is to be the voice of truth in an industry that is often confusing to consumers. My sole mission is to educate people about their skin so that skin care can be the catalyst to caring about every genuinely important facet of their lives.
Q: How was SkinOwl born?
A: SkinOwl was born to fill a void in the cosmetic industry. Like many of my customers, I spent a lot of time and money on my skin, without many positive results. I wasn’t getting anywhere talking to dermatologists, who would only recommend harsh topical medications. Similarly, store counter cosmeticians were intimidating and bent on making me spend more money than I wanted on products that gave them the fattest commissions. I, too, spent years working for a Department Store cosmetic brand. It was there that I realized there wasn’t a voice of truth in the beauty industry. Everyone was after a sale. I knew I had something more to offer.

Q: What is your skin care regimen and how has it
changed over the years?
A: I used to be a sucker for everything under the sun, an advertising campaign’s dream. But, after so many promises and guarantees failed to pan out, I realized I have really sensitive skin that needs some TLC. As a result, I know to wash, tone, treat, hydrate, and protect my skin with products that nurture and calm from the inside out. I always apply one full eyedropper vial of Argan Infusion, morning and night, to my skin as the cherry on top. When I don’t, my skin looks less supple and soft. This is a product where MORE is MORE. The more I use, the more of a difference I see in my skin, my cuticles, and hair. I choose to stick with a regimen because the skin likes routine. I repeat, the skin likes routine.
Q: There are millions of skin care lines to choose from--Why SkinOwl?
A: The first reason is that the products work. People see results overnight, which is very important to today’s consumer. They want to know what a product can do for them right now, not two weeks from now. The second reason is that SkinOwl provides more than just skin care; it’s a core component of total self-care too. It’s a moment in your day when you get to stop and truly appreciate the skin you’re in. Think about it this way: 3 minutes on your skin can turn into 10 minutes in a bath tub, then 20 minutes reading a book in a bath tub, and maybe that book is about Italy, and you leap out of the tub to book that flight to Italy!
