Guest Speaker:
Kerry Benjamin, aesthetician and CEO of StackedSkincare

Product Rundown:
Benjamin walked us through the process of dermaplaning: “Start with clean dry skin. It’s a sharp single-edge blade so always have a good grip—hold it like a pencil with your hand behind the blade. Pull skin taught and use light feather strokes in a downward motion at 45-degree angle.”

Doll 10

Featured Product:
Perfect Pout Revitalizing Lip Exfoliant ($20)

Guest Speaker:
Dr. Doris Dalton, founder and president at Doll 10

Product Rundown:
When Dr. Dalton was diagnosed with a rare form of thyroid cancer that was largely attributed to endocrine disruptors in her personal-care products, she set off to create an alternative clean beauty line designed to educate on ingredients and to empower others to feel good about the product’s they were putting on their skin.

DefenAge

Featured Product:
DefenAge 2-Minute Reveal Mask ($74)

Guest Speaker:
Veronica Webb, supermodel and spokesperson for DefenAge

Product Rundown:
Webb talks us through her reasoning behind her love for this mask: “I like that they have found a natural way to stimulate our stem cells to regenerate. I grew up on a farm and my mother made most of the stuff in her routine, so natural is important to me. I also love the line because it’s easy to use and gives you instant results—it’s a two minute mask so you can do it and pay your bills or vacuum the floor.”

MoxieLash Bionic Silk Starter Bundle ($83)

Guest Speaker:
Bianca Alcazar, chief beauty innovator for MoxieLash

Product Rundown:
“We use nano-grip technology, which uses microscopic particles of pure natural bond, and what’s really cool is that it’s water-based, no silicone, latex-free and there’s no parabens,” says Alcazar. “It also has an all-day hold but won’t dry down like glue, and no dry time needed either!”
