Smile and keep reinventing you!

 

You may ask why it matters, or why now? I come from a diverse background where we are so mixed in ethnicity that color is not a conversation. However, professionally, I have always pushed to feel equal, even in the diverse world of artistry. I have often felt overshadowed by my white counterparts even when I knew that my skillset was on the same level or even greater than theirs. 

I am a wife, and mother to three incredible children, 2 sons and a daughter. Our family has experienced racism, and we have always had conversations about it, but it has never felt as heavy as it does now. It is through the lens of my husband and children, I have witnessed racism in a way that deeply saddens me to my core.

 My husband is an accountant with a degree from Temple University. He works as a controller, and despite his professional accomplishments, often asks me to handle certain matters because he believes they would be received differently from me versus him. My husband has experienced racial profiling from the police. For example, he walked home from the train station daily after work, and one night a policeman followed him the entire 1.2- mile walk home! 

My oldest son is 22 years old, and I constantly find myself reminding him that he cannot do the same things as his white friends. My daughter, at only 10 years old has a deep understanding of race, even at such a young age. I remember just last year; she was so excited about Halloween. She went to school that day and a white student said, "Hey Karly you look blacker than normal". My daughter went immediately to the teacher and this kid was suspended and missed the parade. I am so proud of her; she is so strong and fights for what is right without a thought. 

It's important to understand the foundation this country was built, and it is troubling when I hear "All Lives Matters", Yes indeed, we all should matter but I believe that we must fight against racism and the fight for equality is crucial to a better America. I believe that the Black Lives Matter movement is working to fight against systemic racism. Therefore, we at Embellish Beauty have committed to share part of our profit from sales with Black Lives Matter. Thank you for supporting our brand! Together, we can do our part to create a better future for our children, and for America!

2020 has been full of uncertainty but one thing that has been at the forefront of our daily routine is skincare. We have spent approximately 110 days in quarantine and when taking a run to grab essentials, our face is covered with a mask. Exfoliation can be a very difficult step if you aren't sure on products and what steps to implement. Always start with a cleanser followed by an exfoliant, then a toner and don't forget the moisturizer. 

What exactly is exfoliation? 

Exfoliation is a step in your skincare routine that is needed to remove, lift, and enlighten your beautiful face. The significant point in exfoliating is to remove dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin with the hope of revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion underneath. It can improve and enhance the appearance of your skin and allow your routine to really penetrate giving a beautiful result.

 

Selecting the best exfoliant depends on your skin type and your skin sensitivities. Whether your skin has a mild or more severe acne, using the right exfoliate will soften the skin and reduce the amount of breakouts. Try adding an exfoliate and work up to a few times a week.

Skincare during a Pandemic

 

This pandemic has really made us super crazy about making sure things are cleaned in a whole new way. Now that it’s impossible to receive our monthly facial treatments, it’s essential that we adopt a facial system that we can provide for ourselves followed by amazing skincare. I have found myself enjoying the Nano Ionic Facial Steamer. The steam opens up your pores as it loosens the buildup drawing your blood to the surface, giving you the ultimate glow. This also helps to remove blackheads and whiteheads in hard areas! 

 

As a makeup artist, I’ve become a bit of a snob when it comes to my skincare regimen. Your canvas cannot be compromised. This month I chose to highlight one of my favorite skincare lines TATCHA. I absolutely love the ageless face and eye ritual kit. It is meant to target treat, polish, renew, and revitalize.  My favorite must haves are eye cream, cleanser, a great exfoliator, and a moisturizer. 

 

Here are the steps to great skin using TATCHA:

 

1. Use the steamer to remove any dirt and buildup. You can do this once a week to receive beautiful glowy skin. You can add lemon, natural herbs, and oils such as eucalyptus which is great for sinus issues.  The Nano Ionic Steamer can be found at www.ultabeauty.com.

 

2) While steaming, you can start your skincare routine. First start with your cleanser. TATCHA’s Polishing enzyme powder is used to cleanse. This is the first part of the ritual. Small amount should be disbursed into the palm of your hand. Then add water to it. Now emulsify it into your skin. Towel dry.

 

3) Grab the serum stick to spot treat those dry areas.

 

4) Next take the enriching renewal cream with the golden spoon included. Take a small pea size amount. Distribute evenly on your face.

 

5) Finally use the Revitalizing Eye Cream. Rub your fingertips across the top of the jar and apply to your eyes in a 360 motion.
