LOUD.Style: Nubian Skin

Dear Pennies & Pens,

A few months ago, I discovered a new brand called Nubian Skin. Nubian Skin caught my eye because they make lingerie and hosiery for women of color. I thought this was such an interesting and innovative concept because as a Black woman, I have always stayed away from ā€œnudeā€ lingerie.

Itā€™s never the right color for my skin tone which means itā€™s not very flattering. So when I found out about Nubian Skin, I was elated! Finally, a brand that makes lingerie specifically for women of color! We have such beautiful skin so itā€™s like why not celebrate it?

Nubian Skin was founded by Ade Hassan who was frustrated by the lack of skin tone options to go with her ever expanding wardrobe. Thatā€™s when she decided that it was time for ā€œa different kind of nudeā€.

As it states on the website, ā€œInspired by trailblazing women, Eunice W. Johnson and super model Iman, who created Fashion Fair and Iman cosmetics, Ade took the leap and created Nubian Skin. Ā Itā€™s been an uphill battle, but every revolution starts somewhere.ā€

Nubian Skin consists of a collection of lingerie and hosiery to provide the essential underwear needs for women of color. Nubian Skin is headquartered in London and they ship worldwide. In essence, if you love your God & Sun Kissed Skin, check out Nubian Skin.

And there it is: de la Penā€¦All Pen Everything. With us, keeping it real never goes wrong.
