The Organic Face

by Chantal Moore, Beauty Editor

When I set out to do makeup professionally, one of the very first books I purchased to educate myself on product ingredients was “Don’t go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me” by Paula Begoun. This is the bible for cosmetic ingredient research. When I started to educate myself about what exactly was in the products I was putting on not only my client’s faces, but my own- my whole thinking changed about cosmetics. When you are talking about Organic you are talking about a product that has been produced and manufactured by guidelines that strictly enforce an environment free of synthetic ingredients, chemicals and of course-GMO’s. Here are a few chemicals commonly found in cosmetics- DEA, Aluminum, Alcohol, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate and Mercury amongst many others. These chemicals are absorbed through your skin as toxins that store in the tissues of your body.Now, I am a big advocate of arming yourself with the ammunition of knowledge. Do your research.

Making Beauty Cruelty Free:  Awakening to the need for cruelty free cosmetics

As a  Professional Makeup Artist, it is my responsibility to make sure that the products I use are of a quality to withhold the standards set within my industry by the top Makeup Artists in the world.  Whatever we use on our client’s has to perform and we seek out companies that have the best performing products for our client’s needs. As a conscious human being, I also feel a responsibility to not contribute to the suffering of animals for Beauty’s sake. There is just need for it. We as a society should be beyond this. No animal should have to endure the tortures of cosmetic testing. So, I began the process of taking my Makeup Kit (my professional tools and products for my work) to cruelty free a few years ago and I am here to tell you that if a Professional Makeup Artist can do it, you can easily do it, too. It is simple to do and you can do it without spending a lot of money.

Hadrian Miguel, LifeStyle & Skincare Director

Here are some very simple things you can do to get glowing skin and beautiful hair in next to no time…so get ready, set, GO!

Get Gorgeous Tip #1: Wear a Mask to Uncover a Beautiful You

Slap on a mask and see a difference in 10-15 minutes.
Because masks deliver an intense dose of ingredients and benefits, you can notice a difference right away and don’t have to wait weeks for results. It’s the best way to moisturize the heck out of your skin and achieve an incredible healthy glow.

Get Gorgeous Tip #2: Keeping Those Eyes Bright

To diminish dark circles, cut a potato into two thin slices and rest them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. It has a skin-brightening enzyme (catecholase) that lightens the dark circles. To deflate puffiness under the eyes, place cold metal spoons on your eyes for a few minutes to tighten up the skin.

Get Gorgeous Tip #3: Slippery When Wet

The best time to apply moisturizer is right after you wash or shower, when your skin is still damp. Make sure to pat dry and then apply your moisturizer to seal in the moisture.
Note: If the skin is too wet, the cream will just slide right off your face!

FaceSpritzGet Gorgeous Tip #4: Cool Down with A Spritz

During warm weather days, spray mists with your favorite tonics can be refrigerated for cooling and soothing skin post sun-exposure or whenever you need a refresher.

So spritz on your favorite calming ingredients like aloe, chamomile, and lavender which is perfect for sunburned skin; antioxidant-rich Vitamins C and E, green tea and pomegranate helps your skin to fight off UV damage, and cooling ingredients like mint and cucumber help to quiet a hot, flushed face. Hydrators like olive and seed oils are excellent sources of to soften, smooth, and moisturize when skin is parched.

Get Gorgeous Tip #5: Don’t Let Products Weigh Your Hair Down

Shampoo and condition as usual. Just add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a cup of water and use it as a final rinse over the hair. Rinse well with cool water. This will remove any buildup or product residue from the hair and will help seal the cuticle, creating long-lasting shine and bounce.

Let’s introduce you to our Life & Style Director, Hadrian Miguel.

Our style guy, Hadrian has studied and worked as an apparel and interior designer, visual merchandiser, artist, and stylist.
