About the Founder, Aleczander Gamboa

Hi there, welcome to this corner of the internet. I’m so glad you’re here!

When I was younger, I had the absolute WORST skin – cystic acne, redness, hyperpigmentation, sensitivity, premature wrinkles and more. Name the skin condition, and I guarantee I’ve likely experienced it.

This led me to spend countless hours online every day, exploring Reddit forums and video reviews, scouring beauty magazines and more to learn everything I could about my skin and how it functions – all in the hope that I would discover a solution.

My love for content took me down a path of being a freelance journalist, copywriter and content marketer for almost a decade. But my passion for beauty, skincare and wellness knowledge never waned. It has always demanded my attention, and even now, I take great joy in reading, learning and sharing my knowledge in this space.

Yet, it wasn’t until a global pandemic hit that I finally decided to do something with all this knowledge hidden in my brain.

So I created Skin School — a digital destination for skincare, beauty, and grooming. I wanted to cut through all the noise and make skincare journeys easier to navigate with knowledgeable and insightful content.

I wish I had a one-stop knowledge resource like this when I was younger.

So whether you’re new to double cleansing or a pro who knows their AHAs from their BHAs, Skin School is here to guide you through every step of your journey to being more comfortable in your skin.

I also offer my copywriting and content marketing skills to skincare, lifestyle and beauty brands. Is that you? Check out my works and services here.
