After her rookie feature last year, Georgina Burke returned to the fold for the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue and traveled to Puerto Rico, where she posed for photographer Ben Watts. In addition to her back-to-back photo shoots with the magazine and work with brands such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Polo Ralph Lauren, Burke is also an entrepreneur.
She is the founder of Burke NYC, a size-friendly swimwear line that also offers sunless tanning solutions. Since there’s no better form of self-care than protecting your skin from harsh ultraviolet rays and tanning the faux way, we chatted with Burke about safe and sunless tanning.
Growing up in Brisbane, Australia, Burke says bronzed, glowing skin was all the rage, and she wasn’t always diligent about wearing sunscreen. Now that SPF is part of her daily skin-care routine, she chooses to fake bake instead. When she couldn’t find a self-tanner on the market that was suitable for her sensitive skin, Burke took it upon herself to create her own vegan and paraben-free self-tanner.
“It’s free of a lot of nasties that you find in tans,” she says of Burke NYC’s mousse product. “As someone with such sensitive skin, I went through a lot of product testing on myself to find a formula that worked with my skin. The color also had to be just right. A few times, I ended up looking like a giant Oompa Loompa as the product made me too orange. [We went] through trial and error until we landed on a product that didn’t give me any reactions and came out with just the right color to suit many skin types.”
