If you’ve ever designed for a skincare brand, you know the real time sink isn’t the logo.
It’s the endless Pinterest scrolling. 🫠
The hunt for the “right” mockup. 🤔
The hours spent trying to visualize the brand before you can even present it.
So I built a product that recently won a challenge 🏆 as a trending digital product for 2026.
I created a curated Brand Image Prompt Kit for Skincare Brands that helps designers and founders generate packaging mockups and lifestyle visuals using AI, without guessing their way through it.
It includes 4 core prompt scenarios, customizable templates, and 20 example visuals generated with Krea, ImageFX, and Adobe Firefly.

Think of these as a base layer. Not a final answer.
Use the layouts, then change the typography. Adjust the rhythm. Test weight, spacing, contrast. Make mistakes. That’s how good packaging happens.
I use this exact approach in client work. Now it’s available as editable Illustrator templates.

My most recent project: Glowora. A skincare concept built around refined femininity.
The client already had a logo and some products but they needed a brand refresh that would feel consistent with their current branding which was not being fully respected.
The moodboard translates directly into the packaging through softness, contrast, and intentional restraint.
From inspiration to execution, every detail is designed to feel calm, elevated, and timeless.

Just wrapped a full brand refresh for Mantra, a conscious and refined wellness brand for men rooted in Ayurvedic tradition and modern science.
I redesigned the logo and developed the full packaging system for 5 products, including labels and boxes, focusing on clarity, balance, and a premium yet intentional feel.
Minimal, natural, and purposeful design.

Community, please meet your new pet Glowo, a nostalgic wellness spin on the Tamagotchi.
Instead of taking care of a pet, you take care of ✨yourself✨. Track your water intake, exercise, and daily skin conditions and Glowo reacts instantly with different moods. It turns routine into an experience that feels warm, familiar, and surprisingly addictive.
I created a full set of Glowo mood images and mapped each one to real behaviors; if it’s too hot, too cold, or you abandon the app for a bit… Glowo changes.
Built the whole thing on Anything, and polished the mobile experience on Anything iOS.

✨ Prompt challenge for designers + AI lovers
I’ve been testing Lovart (https://www.lovart.ai/) lately and it’s seriously impressive for generating product mockups.
Prompting can be tricky, but this structure is quite solid, I would love to see what results you get using it👇
[Product type] + [Brand vibe/adjectives] + [Design style or materials] + [Lighting or atmosphere]
Optional: provide specific copy for the packaging designs.
💬 Share your results in the thread!
👀 Did you know you can become a Lovart expert too?
Tip: don't be afraid to tell it you don't like something!

I’ve learned that skincare routines shouldn’t be static. Some days the weather is dry, others humid, added to that your period comes and your skin just breaks out.
That’s what inspired me to create SkinMood, a skincare journal app for women that helps you track your routine and get smart recommendations based on weather or your cycle phase.
I integrated Google Maps, so when you run out of your favorite product, you can instantly find where to buy it nearby. With weather integration, the app can suggest products depending on humidity levels or UV index that day.
It’s my first project built entirely on Anything!

Whenever an AI claims to help on the design process I am skeptical, however I am a fool for tech so here I am, trying Lovart (https://www.lovart.ai) to create packaging design.
Honoring Dua Lipa's first skincare line of products, and the fact that I am seeing her in concert this Friday 🪩, I decided to create an alternative brand inspired in her lifestyle vibes called "Lipa" (original I know, I know).
I gave Lovart general information like overall mood, brand name and color palette and after a few prompts and adjustments, it just did the job!
Has anyone tried it?

✨ Early explorations that didn’t make the cut, but I still love them.
Currently working on a logo redesign for a men’s skincare brand called Mantra Wellness inspired by Ayurvedic philosophy and natural ingredients.
The client asked to take the direction elsewhere, but there’s something about these first drafts that I really enjoy.

Have you ever designed a packaging in a language that you can't speak or read?
That was my experience working with Sojuro Cosmetics, where I had to design in Russian 🇷🇺. The reduced space on the label was a real limitation as well, but we used it to our advantage.
Treating the label as a small magazine page, where every piece of content had to fit perfectly within the space, brought a level of sophistication and precision to the design.
The client also produced amazing product images with the final result, I couldn't be more excited of those amazing pictures!

Your favorite post workout fruit, is now my go-to AI to explore product shots and mockups. 🍌
Here, you can see the actual packaging I designed for Basyx right next to stunning, perfectly set studio shots.
I can give nano banana the original packaging design, a reference image for the vibe I'm going for, plus a simple prompt, and it translate it into a gorgeous, high-fidelity (low quality haha) studio product shot.
Can't sop playing with it! 🚀

Here's a brand’s packaging I literally rescued! 🚨
The original Swurly luxury (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQJ27XUElB4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) packaging was a mess pixelated, unaligned, and completely unprofessional. 🫠
We did a full rebrand and packaging redesign to bring their external presentation up to the quality of their product.
Never underestimate the power of professional graphic design!

From vision boards to Sephora shelves 💫
On this post for #shareyourwork: ULUSOLEIL (https://ulusoleil.com/). One of my early clients, a Malaysian brand that started with two products and little by little, grew into a full body care range, and has now become the first Malaysian 🇲🇾 brand available at Sephora. 🥹
The brand already had a logo, but I helped turn their visual aspirations into real, tangible packaging.
We also made eco-mindful decisions along the way, choosing biodegradable and sustainable materials for most of the packaging. 🌿
Watching this brand evolve has been one of those full-circle design moments, seeing your work not just exist, but thrive. 💛

When love calls, even designers step out of their comfort zone 💛
I took on a project that’s close to my heart, a wedding website for my sister.
I don’t usually work on web or illustration projects, but since I was little, I’ve always loved drawing, so I brought that skill back to life for her. 🖋️
It felt right to blend AI-generated imagery with a rustic, hand-drawn illustrated style, finding that balance between digital and human touch. Maintaining a strong typographic style was key to tying everything together and keeping the overall visual identity cohesive.
It’s been such a fun project to step out of my usual packaging comfort zone while still keeping the design clean.

However simple, I love helping brands find their look!
Also, how amazing is Nano Banana for mockup creation? This past month I really had a lot of fun playing with it.
For the Lorelei eau du parfum, the clean, elegant type works perfectly on the simple bottle. The design feels without needing any extra elements.

One of the first paid freelance packaging projects I have worked on was on 2020, in the middle of the pandemic and it has truly shaped me to what I do today.
It was a decorative packaging for a tea brand from India 🇮🇳 !! AND I couldn't believe that my work was going so far away on the Planet and I was VERY proud of myself. I remember charging it for a ridiculously little amount of money but I was ecstatic to just think a design of mine was going to be in people's kitchen.
I even remember spending hours to create the decorative pattern around the specs and front!
I've never heard of the client again 😅, but I am still happy about the result!

I want to re-introduce myself to the new members of the contra community with this project (https://contra.com/p/bmoFP2EM-basyx-or-branding-and-packaging-for-multi-item-brand?referralExperimentNid=DEFAULT_REFERRAL_PROGRAM&referrerUsername=aniautorino) I had the pleasure of wrapping up last week.
I am Ani, a brand and packaging designer from Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 I have a very strong portfolio on skincare and cosmetics collaborations but I also focus on clean, typographic work.
This project was a challenge because the brand identity and labels needed to work for ANYTHING from shampoo and supplements to cookies and granola, while still looking competitive among other brands.
Nice to meet everyone!

Excited to share my first MagicPath library submission for the Hackathon!
I introduce to you 🍃 Magical Apothecary ✨
This themed component library is crafted for skincare and nature-inspired brands. Whether a brand features richly decorative labels or a clean look, the system adapts seamlessly. It draws inspiration from traditional apothecaries and botanical rituals, blending serif elegance with geometric layouts.
The library includes essential and flexible e-commerce elements, marketing banners, and social modules because modern skincare brands rely heavily on social media to build community and drive engagement.
🤯These UI blocks can work across both decorative and minimalist styles.
🔗 View the library (https://www.magicpath.ai/projects/326697782637375488?token=94fa79dde8f863834b09b3dcdde7d6acea7e43ff4b01d78defdf958f7589e7ec)
