    No B.S. Skin Care Announces Partnership with Sarah Hyland

    No B.S. Skin Care has continued to make waves within the beauty industry by providing clean, non-toxic skincare that delivers effective results, all while being offered at an affordable price. This well-known brand has proven that they aren’t afraid to call out the B.S. of the industry and in return, immediately gained a loyal following praising them for their transparency. Now, No B.S. Skin Care is joining forces with a leader who is as passionate as they are about saying “no” to toxic chemicals, and is pleased to announce their new partnership with Sarah Hyland.

    The widely-popular American actress and producer, most known for her role as Haley Dunphy on ABC’s Modern Family, has been open about cleaning up her lifestyle with her health in mind—starting with what she puts in her body and on her skin. Together, Hyland and No B.S. Skin Care are partnering to educate people everywhere on the importance of taking control of their own health, starting with their skin.

    “Staying healthy is important to me, and that means taking control of what I put in and on my body. My lifestyle detox started with clean eating, but when I realized how many toxins were hidden in the products I used every day, I knew I had to make a big switch,” says Hyland. “My fans wanted in on the process, so the pressure was on to find something really good—for me and for them. No B.S. resonated with me because their products are made with good-for-you ingredients that actually improve skin health. My No B.S. regimen has four powerful basics you can use every day to clean up your skincare game. My hope is that everyone who tries it will feel so good in their skin that they don’t mind going makeup-free.”

    Hyland has curated her own personal skincare regimen with No B.S. Skin Care and is sharing it directly with fans. Her personalized regimen will include four of her favorite, most-used No B.S. Skin Care products including the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, Purifying Facial Toner, Vitamin C + E Serum, and the Day + Night Hyaluronic Cream – all included in a bundle on the No B.S. Skin Care website.

    In addition, Hyland and No B.S. Skin Care will be offering fans a once in a lifetime opportunity where they can receive a personalized interactive video call-in from Hyland. Throughout the video, she will be sharing her journey of self-improvement and the importance of steering clear of harmful ingredients. Everyone who participates in the video call-in will also receive an exclusive additional 15% off discount on Hyland’s curated skincare bundle.

    No B.S. Skin Care is devoted to never using harmful ingredients like parabens, phthalates, sulfates, synthetics, and toxic petrochemicals commonly found in other skincare products. The brand is proud to be working with Hyland and aims to strip away the deception of the beauty industry by providing better, healthier skincare powered by truth, not toxins.

    “Sarah’s story really resonated with our team and our brand because like so many of our customers, she realized that what she ate, drank, and used on her skin could contribute to toxins building up her body,” says Diana Briceno, CEO of No B.S. Skin Care. “At No B.S., we love sharing stories like Sarah’s to bring awareness to the importance of clean beauty ingredients and products. This is exactly why she is the perfect partner to inspire people to take control of their own health, and cut out all of the unnecessary, toxic B.S. they don’t need, starting with their skin care.”

    No B.S. Skin Care encourages everyone to join their community and mission of ditching toxic ingredients and sharing their experiences using the hashtags: #SarahLivesNoBS and #SarahsCall.

    Luseta Beauty’s Perfect Bonding Collection Encourages Everyone to Explore Self-Care Starting with Hair

    Luseta Beauty is launching its Perfect Bonding Collection: a three step hair care treatment allowing users to achieve salon grade bonding treatments at home. Luseta is also encouraging women to rethink hair and self-care with a social media campaign featuring #BondedWithLuseta.

    The Perfect Bonding Collection features a series of shampoo, conditioner, and restoring leave-in cream all formulated to help repair hair damage from heat or chemicals. “Bonding treatments at salons are becoming more popular now,” stated Luseta Beauty representative, B.H. “But could take a lot of time and money. Salon treatments are also mostly unavailable to everyday customers, because they are hard to use without professional supervision. We created this line so everyone can have a hassle-free hair care routine at home that performs just as well as professional treatments.”

    Luseta Beauty encourages customers to share their hair care and self-care journey on social media with #BondedWithLuseta. B.H. explains the concept behind the campaign: “Our marketing team has found that women feel like they don’t treat themselves well enough. It’s not that they don’t want to. They just don’t have the tools to do so. With this collection, we hope to help people realize that they don’t need to compromise quality in order to take care of their hair. We hope that thoughtful hair care regimes can be the first step to inspiring many on their mind and body care journey.”

    The Perfect Bonding Collection has been available for pre-order on Luseta Beauty’s website on November 18th. For more information, please visit www.lusetabeauty.com.

    Wild Harvested African Herbs & Oils Turning Back Time with Beauty Rituals Rooted in Africa

    As an artist, there is one place in the world that I want to go the most. The reason is that I believe all the lives originally come from this place, and the beautiful nature is not heavily polluted so much by the modern world, this place is Africa. I found a skincare line that turns back time with products that incorporate time-tested beauty rituals rooted in Africa. By combining scientifically advanced technology with nature based ingredients from Southern Africa, dark circles, puffiness, dryness, dullness and hyperpigmentation can be a thing of the past. With milk cleansers, even-tone serums and a range of moisturizers, Yangu Beauty products help your skin thrive with all-natural ingredients.

    Founder Sipho Gumbo suffered years of suffering from skincare products formulated with harsh ingredients  This led her on a journey of researching natural skincare. Sipho recalled the beauty rituals of her grandmother who used wild-harvested African herbs, superfoods, and botanical oils to look after her skin. Determined to find products that worked for her sensitive skin and armed with the beauty wisdom of her grandmother, Sipho launched Yangu Beauty. Each product is thoughtfully formulated using advanced plant science and pays homage to the time-honored beauty wisdom of her African foremothers.

    Yangu Beauty products are free of parabens, sulfates, artificial colorants and animal derived products. All products are environmentally conscientious and advocate cruelty-free products.

    Yangu Beauty Gives Back:

    Yangu Beauty supports orphans, women and children through it’s Beauty with Compassion Program.  Yangu Beauty founder Gumbo created Munhu Inc. (www.munhuinc.org) a 15 year old non-profit organization that supports children orphaned by AIDS in rural Zimbabwe. A percentage of sales of Yangu Beauty Products support Munhu Inc. children.

    Yangu Beauty also gives back through the sourcing of ingredients. They buy from co-ops that are mainly women owned and supports women who pick up the nuts where their oils are from.  This helps them pay tuition for their children.

    Yangu Beauty Products:

    Bright Eyes Cream:  Hydrating, anti-inflammatory cream soothes the delicate eye area. Peptide complex firms and tones while reducing dark circles and puffiness while Hyaluronic Acid restores moisture.

    Bye-Bye Hyperpigmentation Kit:  Bursting with African botanical extracts such as Roobios and our YMB™ complex, this Yangu Beauty Bye-Bye Hyperpigmentation kit works hard to fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

    Cleansing Whip: This award-winning, non-stripping gentle foam formula cleanses the skin and minimizes the appearance of pores. Revives your skin while balancing moisture and sebum. Safe for all skin types – especially sensitive combination, oily, and acne-prone skin. This 5-star cleansing whip is loved by customers, who say “best facial cleanser ever” and “smells great. my skin has been clearer ever since I started using it!”

    Even Tone Serum: Award-winning serum that features a powerful Rooibos and Licorice Root blend. Rooibos soothes the skin while Licorice Root fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Goes on lightweight and sheer revealing a clear, radiant complexion. Can be used  alone or as a makeup primer. Works for all skin types.

    About Founder Sipho Gumbo:

    Years of suffering breakouts from skincare products formulated with harsh ingredients led Sipho on a journey of researching natural skincare. While reminiscing about fond childhood memories, she realized that living in the States had disconnected her from her African traditions and roots. This realization led Sipho to recall the beauty rituals of her grandmother who used wild-harvested African herbs, superfoods, and botanical oils to look after her skin.

    Determined to find products that worked for her sensitive skin and armed with the beauty wisdom of her grandmother, Sipho launched Yangu Beauty. Each product is thoughtfully formulated using advanced plant science and pays homage to the time-honored beauty wisdom of her African foremothers. Through Yangu, Sipho is reconnecting with her roots through beauty and sharing her culture with other women around the globe.

    Beauty + CBD Faves by Mox Mind + Body Care Launch in CVS, Kohl’s Nationwide

    CBD products are available in abundance online, but not always easy to find while you’re out and about shopping. All of that is about to change thanks to the skincare line Mox, which is prepping to invade two popular brick and mortar stores. Mox Mind + Body Care is one of the few select CBD beauty brands to be part of a CBD beauty launch at select CVS and Kohl’s stores.

    Experience the skincare benefits of CBD without worrying about the hassle of shipping and delivery. Unlike traditional drug store brands,Mox replaces water with nutrition and ingredients that support healthy skin. Products contain pharmacist-designed formulas that are “power couples” of proven vitamins, minerals and organic CBD. No water, fillers or preservatives are used.

    Mox is proud to be featured in CVS and Kohl’s at October 2019 introducing CBD skincare to more consumers.

    CVS has been the retail innovator in CBD and was one of the first retailers to feature pain relief products in this category. The drug store chain is now expanding its CBD assortment to include new beauty brands and Mox was one of five selected. The initial launch includes 12 CVS stores in California, but will expand to 14 other states by early next year. Look for Mox’s Multivitamin Serum, Peppermint Salicylic Cleanser, Eye Bright, Triple Action Toner and Mineral Hydrating Mist on an end cap near you.

    Kohls is building out its beauty business and Mox is honored to be part of its CBD beauty launch where it was one of four brands selected. Look for Mox’s Multivitamin Serum, Muscle Roller and Peppermint Salicylic Cleanser in 238 stores in the US.

    More About Mox’s Powerful Skincare:

    – Peppermint Salicylic Cleanser – Put an end to tired skin. Illuminate, awaken and cleanse skin with this organic hemp-derived CBDand Peppermint formula combined with Salicylic Acid to gently exfoliate and improve clarity.

    – Multivitamin Serum – You wouldn’t think twice about taking your vitamins for your overall health. Give your skin the same benefits with this serum loaded full of vitamins C, A, E, D, and K in addition to organic hemp-derived CBD, Chamomile, Licorice and Natural Lipids.

    – Muscle Roller – When you’re traveling or on-the-go, get on-the-spot relief from muscle soreness that’s like your very own tiny ice bath in a tube.  Along with eucalyptus to cool the skin and wintergreen to help calm muscles, you’re getting premium vitamins, plants and minerals to naturally soothe your body. Try it for headaches and migraines too!

    – Eye Bright – Ever wish your eye cream did more? CBD could be the ingredient you’re missing. Mox launches this new hydrater, plumper, and tightener combining CBD oil with hyaluronic acid and polyelectrolytes leaving the eye area smooth, soft, bright and nourished.

    – Mineral Hydrating Mist – Give your skin a hydrating boost with a combination of Polyelectrolytes, Hyaluronic Acid and organic hemp-derived CBD.

    About Mox Mind + Body Care:

    Mox is here to help you take better care of your mind and body. That starts with replacing the water that is the #1 ingredient in nearly all skin care products with nutrition. And Mox is not just saying that so you’ll buy their stuff. The human body is a wise, wish-fulfilling machine. It’s wired with trillions of cells that know exactly what we need, and how to make it happen. When we feel tired, we over-caffeinate. When we feel pain, we pop a quick fix. When we feel stressed, we self-medicate. Often, we move further and further away from a natural state of wellness. At Mox, we believe it’s time to change that.

    Pharmacist-formulated with powerful ingredient combinations that work with your body—never against it. Mox trusts in the power of plants, vitamins and minerals. Mox targeted, highly concentrated products stand apart through ingredient minimalism and formulating strategies that replace water with nutrients + organically-grown CBD. And Mox never uses fillers, parabens or preservatives-ever.
