Angelique Kerber Launches Skin Care Line

Angelique Kerber has partnered with German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to develop a line of skin care products under the name Newkee.  In an Instagram post, Kerber talked about the challenges an athlete goes through to maintain healthy skin.

The two athletes developed the skin care products in collaboration with Paedi Protect AG, a company known for its pediatric skin care products.

Speaking of the venture, Angelique Kerber said:

@manuelneuer and I put a lot of heart and soul into the project – also because we have always been looking for the right products to protect and care for our skin in the past. Therefore, together with @paediprotect, we have developed our own sun protection and care line, which is available from today.

As professional athletes who train a lot and shower several times a day, we know exactly what is important in daily skin care. We have exactly the products to make your daily care routine as simple and effective as possible. Of course, all Care Essentials are 100% vegan, microplastic-free and fragrance-free.

Kerber is a former world number 1 and a three-time grand slam champion. A few weeks ago, she announced that she is expecting her first child. Manuel Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is the captain of the German national soccer team and the Bundesliga Bayern Munich club.
