We Launched Three New BODY Care Merchandise (As seen on the At present present!)
I took a little bit of focus off of the face this yr and needed to supply some options for the pores and skin in your physique in addition to a wellness product. These are so enjoyable and you’ve got been loving them!

- Again & Physique Buffing Towel – I’m completely obsessive about exfoliating the physique for super-smooth pores and skin, conventional physique scrubs that you need to scoop out of a jar aren’t all the time sensible to make use of. Say whats up to a simple strategy to slough off dry pores and skin cells throughout your whole physique, together with hard-to-reach areas just like the again. I take advantage of this twice per week and observe with physique oil and my pores and skin feels completely unimaginable.

I perceive that you simply, our loyal clients, need to expertise our merchandise in actual life. To the touch, to odor, attempt one thing new and maybe get a Renée Rouleau facial, is one thing you could have been asking for.
I’ve turned down loads of alternatives to have my line offered elsewhere. Massive field retailers have knocked at my door and I received’t even entertain a dialog with them. I’m simply not inquisitive about following the trail of so many manufacturers the place the main target then turns into gross sales and numbers. All for the sake of the almighty greenback. Founders lose their soul after they have traders respiratory down their neck. I see all of it too typically and that’s simply not for me. (I fortunately personal 100% of my firm and I discuss a number of this on the Shiny podcast.) However, the considered having my merchandise out in the actual world (vs simply on-line) may be very thrilling and I couldn’t have chosen the best individuals to symbolize my line — estheticians and skilled skincare professionals. These are my individuals and I’m simply so excited!

New Estheticians Added to Our Group
Talking of estheticians, again once I owned skincare spas in Dallas (and beforehand in Boston) I used to be round estheticians the entire time. After we closed down the Dallas spas 5 years in the past, and I used to be now a 100% product firm, I wasn’t round estheticians anymore and missed it. I get a number of new concepts from them so within the spirit of getting again to my roots, we are actually using extra estheticians to serve varied roles resembling new product improvement, buyer care, social media and advertising and finally, to serve you higher. We’ve got not too long ago employed estheticians Amanda and Maddie who you’ll work together whenever you name or e-mail us. We’re all the time right here to offer that private contact.

I’ve been at this 35 years now and I simply might by no means consider doing anything. Thanks, really. Right here’s a enjoyable throwback video.
The ‘FLO-vember’ Problem Custom Continues
As a lot of you recognize, my husband Florian of twenty-two years (and COO of our firm) handed away six years in the past from a brief battle with most cancers. Yearly in November (his birthday month) when he was alive, we did ‘The FLO-vember Problem” the place we dedicated to a well being objective and did it day-after-day for the month. (We normally did burpees, ugh!) Me and the workforce have continued this custom and it’s all the time a reminder of the significance of excellent well being and retains his spirit round. I do know he’s proud.
Estheticians and Dermatologists Unite
One of many issues I really like most about being within the magnificence trade is the individuals I get to satisfy and be taught from. This trade has a few of the brightest, most progressive, artistic individuals, and I by no means get uninterested in studying from them.
A giant spotlight in November was not solely getting to talk for the second yr on the Science of Skincare Summit however this yr I performed three roles: I used to be a speaker, the co-chair of the esthetician monitor and an exhibitor showcasing our line. What’s tremendous cool about this summit is that it brings estheticians and dermatologists collectively. That is very uncommon. All of us have the identical function, which is to assist enhance lives by bettering pores and skin however our approaches could be totally different and we haven’t all the time performed effectively collectively within the sandbox.
That is now altering and we’ve got a newfound respect for each other for a way we view and deal with pores and skin and this summit is an instance of that. It was an honor to be on a panel with well-known dermatologists (like Dr. Pimple Popper!) representing my fellow estheticians.
I’ll once more be the co-chair subsequent yr so if you’re a licensed skincare skilled, please be part of me.
