About The Skin Deep
A print magazine dedicated to candid personal essays and photography built The Skin Deep's small but devoted following, and its online shop sells back issues, books, and related merchandise to that same audience. It leans niche and editorial rather than mass-market.
The policy reads like a fairly generic e-commerce boilerplate - it lists broad categories like perishables and hazardous materials that don't really apply to a magazine shop, alongside the practical stuff: 30 days, original wrapping intact, and sale items excluded from refunds entirely.
What they sell
- Print magazine back issues
- Photography and essay collection books

- Branded merchandise
