Marie Claire UK Skin Awards 2023: Meet the brilliant judging panel

Marie Claire Skin Awards 2023.

Anything worth knowing about beauty comes from this talented bunch, which is exactly why we’ve enlisted them as the judges of the 2023 Marie Claire UK Skin Awards

Now in its fourth year, the awards recognise the very best skin products on the market. Giving skincare fanatics the lowdown on what’s worth adding to your basket. 

World-renowned dermatologists, facialists, skincare experts and award-winning journalists come together to recognise and celebrate the best of the best in skincare — whether it’s everyday heroes, souped-up treatments or conscious beauty (plus, many more!) 

At Maire Claire, we never underestimate the power of skincare. Not just because it can soothe skin and minimise sore breakouts (though, we welcome those heroes with open arms), but also because of the way it makes us feel. When a face oil becomes a comforting unwinding ritual or a self tan helps us show up in a way we need to, we appreciate it all. And that’s exactly why we—and our 43 judges—have dedicated so much time and effort into awarding the best of the best. 

The winners will be announced on Wednesday 22nd November, where you'll be able to celebrate well-deserved wins with our talented beauty team.

Let’s get started, here is the 2023 panel of Marie Claire Skin Awards judges…
