From go-to products to bedtime routines, here are our beauty secrets.
Poonam Patel | Operations Manager
Her beauty secret: Vaseline
“My beauty secret is that I use Vaseline for pretty much everything. It’s a petroleum jelly that I use as a lip balm to make my lips super soft. My mom incorporated it into my daily routine at a very young age, and with time, I have found other uses for it. For example, it’s a great backup makeup remover. It’s not harmful to the eye area and can wipe away almost all of your makeup. It’s also great for breakouts and scarring and dry skin altogether. The best part is that it comes in so many sizes that you can literally just throw it in any of your bags and go.”
Niki Jones | Creative Director
Her beauty secret: overnight products
“Invest in great overnight products and mix them up: for example, an anti-aging formula one night, a deep moisturizer the next. Omorovicza products are always in my mix. Let the products do the work while you sleep.”
Chantal Rice | Managing Editor
Her beauty secret: moisturizer
“My No. 1 beauty secret is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! In addition to applying lotion all over daily, I use Inventive Eco Organic Soothing Skin Refresh on my face and neck every day. It’s natural and light on my skin. Plus, it’s locally made, which always makes me feel good.”
Dominique Prejean LeBlanc | Account Executive
Her beauty secret: sleep and water
“My No. 1 beauty secret is eight-plus hours of sleep a night and lots of water. A skin-care regimen is important but it would be worthless without good sleep and water.”
Madilyn Biscoe | Marketing and Events Manager
Her beauty secret: face masks
“Kiehl’s Turmeric and Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque is my beauty secret. It makes my face feel awake, and my skin feels tight and fresh afterward.”
Monika Kelley | Account Executive
Her beauty secret: essential oils
“I mix essential oils to create night oils and eye oils. Essential oils balance skin, promoting smoothness while diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. For example, bergamot oil can distribute melanin evenly across the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of discolorations and similar marks.”
Lindsey Granberry | Account Executive
Her beauty secret: CeraVe
“My beauty secret is CeraVe PM—in the a.m. and p.m.!”
Courtney Runn | Assistant Editor
Her beauty secret: eyeshadow stick
“I love using Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour. It stays on all day without primer and makes putting on eye shadow so easy! I love the rose-gold shade for a subtle shimmer.”
