Why You Should 'Turn Up The C' with Kiehl's

Hi lovelies,

Last night’s party was super fun because I got to dance the night away to tunes by Taryn Manning who isn’t just a talented actress, but she’s also an amazing DJ, and I got to have the ultimate Kiehl’s experience with the launch of its new Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate that went from 10% Vitamin C amount to an impressive 12.5% Vitamin C amount with Hyaluronic Acid.

In my Tobi outfit, which consisted of my Rodeo Black Denim Jeans paired with my Destructed Distressed T-Shirt Dress in Taupe that I rocked with a crystal statement necklace and studded boots with a heel, I got mingle with my friends, fellow actors, musicians, and influencers and nibbled on yummy bites and drinks.

The new concentrate is more powerful than ever and promises to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth and brighten skin, and improves the texture and radiance of the skin. I tried it as soon as I got home after the launch party and I already feel and see the results with my skin feeling more hydrated and plumped.

Grab yours now and Turn Up The C!

Disney x Kiehl's x Feeding America

Hi lovelies,

The brunch with #DISNEYxKIEHLS was one of my most heart-warming experiences of the year.  We learned how Feeding America provides millions of meals a year to those in need and we were able to give back by preparing meals for an LA food bank today.

I also got to catch up with my Disney Style family, whom I love dearly and we learned how to draw the iconic Mickey Mouse. Read below for the full scoop.

Disney x Kiehl’s

Holiday collection featuring Disney’s Mickey Mouse will help Kiehl’s donate $100,000 to Feeding America®. Collaboration helps to provide 1,100,000 meals to families in need this holiday season

New York, Oct. 16, 2017- Kiehl’s Since 1851, the 166-year-old purveyor of the finest skincare, is proud to announce its collaboration with Disney this holiday season, for a collection featuring Mickey Mouse, one of the world’s most beloved luminaries.

Part of this one-of-a-kind collaboration furthers the company’s support of organizations that work to help children and their families thrive: Kiehl’s is proud to announce that select items from the Disney x Kiehl’s collection will make up the 9 th Annual Limited Edition Charitable Holiday Collection. Continuing its holiday philanthropic tradition, Kiehl’s pledges 100% of its net profits of this collection, up to $100,000, to Feeding America® , the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity. This donation will help provide 1,100,000 meals* to families this holiday.

As part of its commitment to creating healthier generations, Disney also has also been a longtime supporter of Feeding America, by expanding nationwide access to nutritious foods, including fruits and vegetables, in communities where kids and families need it most.

The Disney x Kiehl’s charitable products will include a Mickey Mouse-adorned whipped body butter, a scented hand cream trio, a gift box, and a tin, all which benefit Feeding America. With a presence in all 50 states and Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, Feeding America’s nationwide network of 200 member food banks support 60,000 food assistance programs, shelters and meal sites. Each year, Feeding America’s network provides meals and resources to over 46 million people in the United States struggling with food insecurity, including nearly 12 million children. The Feeding America network secures and distributes 4 billion meals annually.

“More than 41 million people in the United States face hunger, including 13 million children and 5.7 million seniors. Feeding America is grateful for the ongoing support of our partners at Kiehl’s and thank them for their creativity and commitment to helping people in need,” said Nancy Curby, Senior Vice President, Corporate Partnerships & Operations at Feeding America. “We are excited to continue our partnership with the generous and incredibly heartwarming Disney x Kiehl’s collaboration, which will help provide more than 1,100,000 meals to children and families this holiday season.”

One of the world’s most beloved icons, Mickey Mouse made his debut on November 18, 1928, as star of the first synchronized sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, and has remained a sensation ever since. Mickey has become an international personality whose success laid the foundation upon which Walt Disney built his creative organization. Mickey is one of the most timeless originals of our culture and times. His beaming face is recognized around the globe, and his endearing personality has captured the imagination of generations, spanning almost 90 years.

Get Personal with Kiehls for Picture Perfect Skin

Hi lovelies,

As a blogger and actor, I always have to be camera-ready and my secret for nailing a picture perfect photo every time is trusting my skin to Kiehl's.

Luckily for me, Kiehl's is launching a new and innovative way to treat, prevent, and care for your skin on a personalized basis and I got a sneak peek at their Santa Monica store last week. 

You can leave how hydrated your skin is and depending on your skincare needs and goals, you can receive a customized skincare solution catered

KIEHL’S GETS PERSONAL WITH SKINCARE MADE JUST FOR YOU

Introducing a range of tailor-made serums that give your skin exactly what it needs

Inspired by 165 years of apothecary expertise, Kiehl’s Since 1851 proudly offers Apothecary Preparations, truly personalized skincare featuring potent concentrates that address an individual’s unique skin concerns. The personalized, in-store-only service launches nationwide in select Kiehl’s stores in October. 

This new innovation is amongst the first in the skincare industry to bring bespoke skincare to the masses. This industry achievement is comprised of Kiehl’s Skin Strengthening Concentrate, plus two, individually selected Targeted Complexes.

These pharmaceutical meets herbal concentrates feature a blend of advanced ingredients and are specifically selected for each customer’s skin. Through an elevated consultation and diagnosis, customers are able to craft a personalized formula based on their two most significant skin concerns. Options include: redness, wrinkles, rough texture, large pores and dullness. 

Once the Targeted Complexes have been selected and the consultation is complete, the Apothecary Preparation’s components are enclosed in a personalized box for the customer, who then mixes them at home prior to first application. The result is a highly potent, tailor-made skincare treatment.

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to go back to our apothecary roots with the introduction of Apothecary Preparations,” shares Chris Salgardo, Kiehl’s US President. “We’ve always been committed to a high level of customer service, but with Apothecary Preparations, we can elevate that experience even more by giving customers a deeper understanding of their unique skin concerns and needs while delivering a completely personalized facial concentrate they can activate themselves.” 

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1: Diagnosis
With the use of a dermatologist-inspired Skin Atlas, customers are guided by the KCR to assess and rank the severity of their skin concerns. The result of this consultation informs the KCR’s selection of the two essential Targeted Complexes that will comprise the customer’s unique formula.

“Over the years we’ve encountered countless women and men who are searching for the most efficacious solution for their unique skincare needs,” shared Cammie Cannella, VP of Global Education, who developed the Apothecary Preparations consultation. “Through our research, including skincare consultations with millions of customers over the years, we’ve determined that addressing an individual’s top two concerns with one uniquely targeted and potent serum will provide the most effective, personalized skincare solution possible, thereby meeting the needs of even our most discerning customers.”

Step 2: Personalization
Following the consultation, two skin-specific Targeted Complexes are selected to accompany Kiehl’s Skin Strengthening Concentrate. Each customer’s personalized box includes her name, details of her personal formula and directions for use. After activating the concentrate at home, Kiehl’s Apothecary Preparations should be applied as instructed after cleansing and before a moisturizer. 

Squalane: A signature Kiehl’s ingredient, Squalane is a botanical lipid derived from the Olive fruit that is highly compatible with the naturals oils present in skin. Within the formula, the Squalane present at a 35% level is approximately 13 times higher than its natural level found in sebum. This ingredient is used for its protecting capacity on skin’s barrier as well as for its safety and stability profile. Squalane has emollient characteristics as well, coating the surface of the skin and helping it maintain moisture1,2,3. It also has an essential ability to soften and smooth skin without irritation and is free of greasy residues.

Skin Lipid Complex: Also included in Kiehl’s Skin-Strengthening Concentrate is the complementary Skin Lipid Complex, containing a blend of botanical oils (including apricot, coriander, black currant, and echium oils) that are rich in unsaturated fatty acids to offer essential emolliency, skin replenishment and hydration. This highly efficacious concentrate ensures that skin is stronger and more resistant to damage.
