The job of a makeup artist is to create the illusion of smooth, flawless, ageless skin—and the effect is often pure magic. But makeup artist Bob Sidell—a three-time Emmy and British Academy (BAFTA) Award nominee—went beyond artistry and illusion to develop products that actually transform skin rather than simply cover it up with cosmetics. Inspired by his years of on-set experience, Bob formulated a groundbreaking product that met the challenges that go along with large, all-ages casts with all types of skin, such as on the TV series The Waltons, Dynasty and The Love Boat. Originally created as a moisturizing underbase—or makeup primer—to lay a flawless canvas over blemished or problem skin, the lightweight yet nourishing cream performed so well on set that the actors and actresses even used it at home. Once word of this skincare secret weapon spread throughout the industry, Bob developed a cleanser and toner to work in synergy with it—the trio that’s now known as his famous 3-Minute Skincare System. Manufacturing began in 1985, and Bob Sidell’s SilkSkin was born, taking its story from Hollywood sound stage to beloved skincare brand.
From its origin on the sound stages of Hollywood, SilkSkin now serves women everywhere who appreciate a holistic approach to their health and want to have clearer, silkier, more youthful skin. The latest formulation with the addition of Moringa Oil is a testament to SilkSkin’s commitment to you — to continually seek out and develop new and improved ways to give you a lifetime of beautiful skin.
