With the recent Supreme Court decision to strike down the NCAA’s restrictions on student-athlete compensation and new laws in 21 states that allow athletes to sign paid endorsement deals, a new era has set in for college athletes—one in which they are no longer expected to generate huge sums of money for their schools while receiving little to nothing in return.
For many of these young women, who spend most of their time sweating, acne is a real concern, so working with Starface is much more than just a monetary sponsorship. “As a woman who competes in the NCAA, I often find myself feeling self-conscious about my skin, and as someone who spends majority of her time working out, it’s often not perfect,” says, a runner at the University of Oregon and one of Starface’s new student-athlete partners.
