Soft Services

Soft Services was founded by Rebecca Zhou and Annie Kreighbaum (former beauty editors) to address body skin concerns that are common but rarely discussed -- keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs, body acne, and rough texture. The brand's Smoothing Solution and Clearing Mist use AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs to exfoliate body skin. Soft Services fills a gap between facial skincare (which gets all the innovation) and body care (which is typically just moisturizing).
