Deconstruct revives viral Rs 1 lakh skincare internship for season two
BENGALURU: Bengaluru-based skincare brand Deconstruct has brought back its viral skincare internship for a second season, betting once again on cash, clout and content to demystify daily skincare. Open to anyone over 18 with no prior skincare experience, the 30-day, remote programme will select six interns, each paid a stipend of Rs 1 lakh. Interns will receive personalised routines, product kits, coaching support and sessions with dermatologists, while documenting their skincare journeys online.
In a push to challenge gender stereotypes, 50 per cent of the slots are reserved for men. Applications are open exclusively on Unstop, though hopefuls are encouraged to apply on LinkedIn or tag on Instagram instead of relying on traditional CVs. The final cohort will also get social media visibility and a chance to feature as the face of the brand.
Speaking about the return of the internship, Deconstruct founder and CEO Malini Adapureddy, said, “The response to the first edition of the Skincare Internship exceeded our expectations and reaffirmed our belief that people are looking for science-led ways to begin their skincare journeys. That success encouraged us to bring back Season 2, while staying true to our goal of helping more people build healthier, more confident relationships with their skin, and reinforcing that skincare can be effective yet gentle.”
How to apply:
Applications are now live and can be submitted exclusively on Unstop, with registrations open for 30 days starting 18 January. The selection process will take place in three stages, including registration and screening, video submissions, and personal interviews.
