Deep Read with Phoebe Lovatt

Facialist and Founder Sofie Pavitt on Career Pivots, Locking In, and Building a Skincare Brand

31 Oct 2025

Description

DEEP READING LISTS are available at phoebe.substack.com Sofie Pavitt is one of New York’s most in-demand facialists and the founder of Sofie Pavitt Face. If you’re considering a career pivot, this episode will hopefully inspire you. After fifteen years working in fashion for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, River Island, Gap, and Michael Kors, Sofie left her corporate job, retrained as an esthetician, and built a business from scratch — one client and one facial at a time.   This is a fun, business-focussed interview that explores the nuts of bolds of launching a skincare brand from scratch. Sofie shares how she transitioned from designer to entrepreneur, the reality of building a brand in the age of social media, and why her mission is to make effective skincare accessible and uncomplicated. We also talk about work ethic, motherhood, beauty standards, and what it means to build something that lasts in a culture obsessed with the new. - @phoebelovatt @deepread.phoebelovatt @sofiepavitt
