Crawley Wasps are delighted to announce a partnership with local natural skincare company skin:genius.

The deal sees Crawley-based skin:genius sponsor the club’s entire youth section, as well as first-team player Megan Stow. All eight youth teams this season will be wearing the club’s new Macron kit with skin:genius’s logo on the sleeve.

Skin:genius produces a range of 100% natural and organic skincare products specifically formulated to prevent and reduce breakouts, spots and acne-prone and oily skin.

Its multi-award-winning range comprises a Cleansing Face Wash, Leave-On Purifying Gel and Soothing Moisturiser. All are packed with active botanical ingredients that work with the skin to cleanse, soothe and moisturise.

Julia Vearncombe, founder of skin:genius, said: “We are really pleased to become part of the Crawley Wasps family. We are local to the team’s home ground and look forward to supporting from the sidelines this season.

“Their flourishing youth section of more than 100 players is providing a pathway to the top for talented girls, and it’s energising to see them all training and playing.

“On the pitch, young girls’ skin goes through a lot with the combination of wind, rain, sun and sweat.  All that needs to be cleansed away gently but thoroughly. Off the pitch, teenage girls in particular may have to tackle acne, spots and oily skin and that’s where our products can really help.”

Dave Connor, Wasps’ head of youth, said: “The girls and youth-team managers are thrilled to have the support of Julia and a forward-thinking, innovative and local business firm like skin:genius.”

First-team midfielder Stow added: “I’ve been fortunate to try the skin:genius range and I absolutely love it, I don’t think I could go without now.

“It’s also lovely to have the support of a local business, with a founder who believes in good skincare that’s easy to follow.”
