He of course was tall, light brown hair, blue eyes and gorgeous but with one teensy weensy flaw&#8230;. he had the driest skin in England!!!<br \/>\nOne day while sitting in our favourite pub, The Shakespeare in Canterbury, I asked him why, in spite of the many and various men\u2019s skincare products out there, did he not use anything on his skin?<br \/>\nHis answer was not the usual \u2018guys don\u2019t need use skin products\u2019 that is usually trotted out by men who do not want to engage in the conversation. The answer he gave was telling &#8230; he said \u201call the stuff out there always leaves me feeling like I have been covered in grease or disappears within 5mins and I am still left with dry skin\u201d.<br \/>\nI took this on board and decided to relegate all the work I was doing on women\u2019s skincare to the back burner and work on a product for men that would fulfil the above brief; no greasy residue and lasts all day.<br \/>\nI succeeded! We had a great base which fulfilled the brief but when I presented this marvel to my husband he then said \u2018 But it has no smell! At which point I rolled my eyes and asked \u201cso what kind of smells do men like?\u201d his anwer was a classic..\u201di don\u2019t know something fresh\u201d GRRR!<br \/>\nBack I went to my little lab space (otherwise known as the spare room) and concocted several \u2018fresh\u2019 smells form the essential oils I had to hand and came up with an amazing citrus blend. He loved it and so did the other men I got to try it! And my first product was born and it was designed for men.<br \/>\nMen want to look after their skin but they cannot be fobbed of with \u2018manly smelling stuff\u2019 that doesn\u2019t suit their personality or body chemistry.<br \/>\nWith the men\u2019s care range at Concept:Skin, I have designed andcreated products that fulfil the need to not have dry skin that will crack and flake but that also doesn\u2019t leave you feeling a greasy mess which will have an effect on your confidence and performance.<br \/>\nWe thrive on creating products that enhance body and mid and our men\u2019s care range delivers just that.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">About me<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-348975\" src=\"http:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/gi-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/gi-1.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/gi-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">My name is Chioma Esther Copeman and I am the founder of the skincare company CONCEPT:SKIN Ltd.a business that creates skincare for the soul and body.<br \/>\nI fell in love with making skincare in my first ever lab session while studying Pharmacy at uni. We made aqueous cream&#8230; and I got it right the first time! It was glorious. Unfortunately it took me the next 14yrs to remember how much I loved that moment. In the mean time of course I had a career as a pharmacist, got a mortgage &#8230; never did get round to getting the dog but I was never as happy as I was in that lab making aqueous cream.<br \/>\nSo I decided to do something about that. In 2014, I got rid of the job ( I definitely was no longer engaged with it), the house, got a husband ( yes I know &#8230;they are for life and not just for Christmas)&#8230; and plucked up the courage to start my skincare business.<br \/>\nIt was the best decision EVER! I finally get to do what I love and I get to change the world! Yes I can hear your scepticism , How can skincare change the world?<br \/>\nI\u2019ll tell you how, I decided to create skincare that cares for the person within as well as outer shell; skincare that can restore the person within to their highest potential allowing them to flourish and thrive.<br \/>\nI love what I do and so will you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CONCEPT:SKIN .
