Beauty from the Inside Out—and Outside In

Today, the Los Angeles–based bestselling author and mom of Ryver, two, and Poppy, six months, heads three companies, all aimed at helping people feel better in their own skin, through lifestyle, clean beauty essentials, and a nonprofit foundation called LSK, which provides no-cost custom silicone skin coverings for prostheses to women who otherwise could not afford them. “I experienced so much renewal and wholeness from my custom prosthetic—it was healing for me mentally, and I wanted other girls to have that opportunity,” says Scruggs Kennedy. “Insurance covers prosthetic limbs with off-the-shelf skin covers that can be less realistic-looking and poorer quality. LSK works with ARTech Laboratory, which makes custom skin covers that are hand-painted, so they look so realistic and last for years, even with daily wear. When I see someone put on their completed prosthetic limbs from LSK, I see that immediate boost in confidence. It can truly help brighten the emotional hardship that can come with limb loss.”
