Hey, brands, publicists, and beauty enthusiasts: Submissions for SELF’s 25th annual Healthy Beauty Awards are officially open!
Every year, we honor the most innovative products that make you feel great from head to foot. We focus on active ingredients and get input from dermatologists, other experts and several months of testing to ensure that the products that win our awards are actually effective. Work. Our Healthy Beauty Awards will help you to achieve this.
This year, we’re making a few small (but mighty!) Our process has been changed:
- We’ve trimmed down our makeup category to only include the essentials. Think about what you would grab if you only had five minutes and wanted to quickly swipe on some makeup.

- Finally, when combing through submissions, we’ll be paying extra attention to price and accessibility. (Or, to put it another way: A $4000 serum It is not necessary to be able to understand be great—so what are the $40 alternatives that are just as good?)
We’ll also be running our submission process a You can also find out more about the little ones. differently than we have in the past—so please read the guidelines carefully below!
