Bengaluru, Jan 19: Deconstruct, the science-backed skincare brand known for its beginner-friendly, effective and gentle approach, has announced the return of its Skincare Internship Season 2, which is now live. Following a first edition that captured nationwide attention, the internship returns with fresh perspectives while continuing Deconstruct’s mission to normalise skincare as a simple, everyday habit.
The Deconstruct Skincare Internship Season 2 is now open to anyone above the age of 18, with no prior skincare knowledge or experience required. The program is designed to remove the intimidation often associated with skincare, encouraging participants to include skincare into their daily routine in a simple and consistent manner.
As part of the program, six selected interns will each receive a stipend of ₹1 lakh, along with personalised skincare routines and product kits tailored to individual skin types and concerns. The internship will be conducted remotely and will include guidance from skincare coaches, along with sessions led by renowned dermatologists. In line with Deconstruct’s commitment to inclusivity, 50 percent of the internship spots are reserved for male participants, challenging the perception that skincare is only for women. The program welcomes participants across genders, ages, and backgrounds.
While applications will be accepted exclusively via Unstop, interested participants can express intent after applying on LinkedIn by sharing their skincare routines, habits, and journeys or by tagging on Instagram, moving beyond traditional CVs. These posts also allow the Deconstruct team to actively notice, acknowledge, and engage with applicants.
In addition to the ₹1 lakh stipend, selected interns will receive social media features, access to expert-led dermatology sessions and an opportunity to be the face of the brand. The final cohort will comprise six participants, who will undertake a 30-day skincare-focused journey.
Speaking about the return of the internship, Malini Adapureddy, Founder and CEO of Deconstruct, 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.
