Featured Product:
Illuminating AOX Serum ($165)
Guest Speaker:
Renee Pedroza, head of global marketing for ZO Skin Health
Product Rundown:
As the product of a brand driven and backed by science and research, the Illuminating AOX Serum was created in response to research linking inflammation and aging. Pedroza explains that this powerhouse product contains an “antioxidant rich-formula that targets chronic inflammation—which causes dehydration, dullness, uneven tone, and premature lines and wrinkles in the skin.” Jam packed with three different, patented ingredients that defend against free radicals, fight signs of aging, reduce redness and more, this serum is made for all skin types and is a perfect last step in your morning skin-care routine to add some glow before your SPF.
Featured Product:
Unlashed Volume and Curl Mascara ($26)
Guest Speaker:
Lindsay Ellingson, co-founder and creative director of Wander Beauty
Product Rundown:
“Wander beauty is really designed for the woman-on-the-go,” says, Ellingson, “my biggest pet peeve is when mascara flakes and smudges, so I worked out in this formula, I slept in it, I wore it in humid weather to make sure it did what we set out to do.” The unique shape of the Unlashed wand in addition to its carefully curated, clean and tested formula ensures maximum volume, length, definition and curl that lasts all day long. An additional perk: the squeezable tube allows you to make use of every last drop of product.
Featured Product:
Rose Hip Hyaluron Lip Treatment ($44)
Guest Speaker:
Kat Burki, founder of Kat Burki Skincare
Product Rundown:
As someone who has always struggled with dry, chapped lips herself, Burki gave birth to the Rose Hip Hyaluron Lip Treatment from a desire to “create a product that would nourish and give volume to the lips without drying them.” Free of irritating and clogging ingredients like petroleum and alcohol, this powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory treatment is great for people with easily irritated skin since it both heals and protects. Though most regular hyaluronic acids inflate then deflate the skin, Burki’s formula uses botanical HA that helps to increase the skins own moisture to help the skin inflate and stay inflated. The formula also contains KB5 which acts in place of a water base to add an additional level of protection and hydration for the skin.
Josh Rosebrook Skin and Hair Care
Featured Product:
Daily Acid Toner ($35)
Guest Speaker:
Josh Rosebrook, founder of Josh Rosebrook Skin and Hair Care
Product Rundown:
“Toning is an extension of cleansing your skin,” Rosebrook explains, “It removes makeup and preps the skin for your hydration while also rebalancing the acid mantle.” Rosebrook’s Daily Acid Toner is a dual-action product that not only tones the skin, but also exfoliates, saving you both time and money. “Acids are usually drying and exfoliating products will often dry out the skin, but this is product hydrating,” says Rosebrook, “the formula uses a unique profile of acids that work at varying depths and speeds to buffer the acid into the skin, making it gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.” The gentle yet powerful exfoliants, peptides and amino acids within the toner help to support, brighten, tone and soften the skin all at once. Pro-tip: start by using only a few times a week and build up to using twice a week for best results.
Featured Product:
Hydra-Bright Alpha Arbutin Drops ($60)
Guest Speaker:
Anna de la Cruz, master esthetician and director of product development for Glo Skin Beauty
Product Rundown:
“Alpha arbutin is a plant-based alternative to hydroquinone,” says de la Cruz, “It’s a botanical brightener that fights pigmentation to rebalance skin tone and replenish radiance.” This powerful formula also contains added brighteners like mulberry and niacinamide and is suitable for all skin types and complexions looking to tackle pigmentation. For best results, start by using this product once a day three or four times a week until the skin is acclimated, then increase use up to five to seven days a week.
Featured Product:
Velvet Divine Styling Potion ($27)
Guest Speaker:
Diana Wilson, chief creative officer of Saints & Sinners Haircare
Product Rundown:
“I wanted to create a multi-purpose product that you could have in your car, in your gym locker and even in your handbag,” explains Wilson. Utilizing tons of fatty acids and UV light absorbers, this styling potion provides heat protection, adds shine, smooths fly-aways and even helps reduce the appearance of split ends on curly, straight and textured hair. This lightweight formula is perfect for slicking hair back or smoothing it down and is even great for smooth control when it comes to mens beards!”
Featured Product:
Root 66 Hair Serum ($45)
Guest Speaker:
Claire Hui, founder of Vivi Naturals
Product Rundown:
“I wanted to respect centuries-old holistic traditions and herbal remedies, and also explore the latest scientific innovations, all while being kind to the planet,” says Hui. Formulated with 24 active ingredients, natural DHT blockers that aid with hair loss, and stress-relieving adaptogens, this all-encompassing serum helps prevent hair loss and thinning while keeping hair at its most healthy. Users will begin to see results in as little as four weeks, with maximum results beginning at one to three months.
Featured Product:
Guest Speaker:
Joel Cohen, MD, board-certified dermatologist and member of the NewBeauty Brain Trust
Product Rundown:
For those looking to lift and sculpt the face without needles and injections, this treatment could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. “EmFace is essentially the EmSculpt Neo but for the face,” says Dr. Cohen, “It is the first and only non-invasive device to simultaneously administer RF energy to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and HIFES energy to tone facial muscles to ultimately lift the look of the face.” This 20-minute, four session treatment creates a plumped and lifted look without needles, fillers or toxins and thus no “frozen face” or other such side effects. Since the device strengthens and tones the muscles of the face, patients will feel results immediately after treatment and begin to see them 6-12 weeks after the last treatment. The best part? No down-time necessary.
