Skincare, BeautyCandy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

As a social media influencer, I get to go to some pretty cool parties from swanky soirees to sweaty workouts, but one thing that never disappoints is seeing the smiling face of Lan Belinky, the co-founder of boscia whether sipping designer mermaid cocktails or getting our groove on while boxing.

Lan’s vision, energy, and overall girl-boss-ness isn’t just inspiring, but it’s also infectious and makes you want to up your entrepreneurial game. So if you’re like me and ready to up level in life, check out Lan’s story below and since we obviously love all things beauty and skincare, don’t forget to get the skinny on boscia’s new Renew Collection!

LAN BELINKY

CO-FOUNDER, boscia

With deep rooted beauty beginnings, Lan Belinky was destined to lead a global skincare brand. Born and raised until her young teens in Japan, the infamous center of skin care innovation, Lan was fascinated by the infinite beauty trends and tactics she was continually exposed to. Mesmerized by her Grandmother's meticulous 6-step beauty ritual and her Aunt's unique product application practices; the allure of the beauty world naturally beckoned.

In the Spring of 1996, Lan's family moved to the United States so her Father and boscia Founder, Gen Inomata, could realize his dream of bringing Japanese influenced skincare stateside. Lan spoke solely Japanese at the time and worked diligently to learn English as a second language and acclimate into the American culture that was so brand new to her – but always, always held close her Japanese roots.

Fast-forward a few years later, Gen's dream was realized and boscia was born. Lan attended The University of the Incarnate Word and graduated with a degree in Business Marketing, while spending every available moment helping to cultivate boscia. After graduating, Lan joined boscia full-time and helped lead many of the brand's major milestones including the first foray into prestige retail. Lan passionately believed in the power of boscia's fusion of botanical (BŌ) science (SHA), and that powerful skincare results could in fact be obtained from good-for-you ingredients. Lan attributes much of her contributions to boscia's growth directly to her biculturality. boscia's first collections (Tsubaki, Sake and Charcoal) were all inspired by her Japanese heritage as was BB Cream, which was the first of its kind to hit the US prestige retail market and garnered staggering success. In the Summer of 2010, Lan unearthed the Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask which catapulted to skincare fame and created the instantly gratifying peel-off mask craze. The Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask continues to reign as a boscia fan-favorite.

Hi lovelies,

My current beauty obsession is the new Rosehip Omega Face Oil by boscia. My favorite aspect of the new face oil, is how it hydrates my skin without leaving it too oily so I can add a few drops to my foundation for a natural, dewy, and glowing complexion without looking greasy.

I also love to use it before bed so my skin can soak in all of the benefits of reducing pigmentation, repairing damage, and promotes extra cell rejuvenation by including vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin D and B-carotene, a form of vitamin A.

The new boscia Rosehip Omega Face Oil is full with antioxidants that protects your skin and helps to brighten your complexion, which is perfect for me because I love going without make-up and having healthy, clean, clear, and smooth natural skin.

Insider Beauty Scoop:

Rosehip and a blend of powerful oils packed with antioxidants, vitamins and high concentrations of omega fatty acids work together to hydrate, replenish, and brighten the skin. Rosehip Oil helps accelerate skin regeneration and increases collagen and elastin production, leaving skin rejuvenated and more youthful-looking. - via boscia.com
