“My goal is to change the science of makeup to become more natural and develop a partnership between science and nature. I want to distribute the best products that heal the skin to make it look more naturally radiant.” Can you go natural and get a great looking glow? You can if you follow my simple tips for creating the gentlest beauty regimen ever. Avoid harsh facial cleansers. Your skin needn’t be scrubbed or squeaky to be clean, so don’t overdo it. Mild, non-detergent cleansers—milks, gels, foams, or cloths—are your best bet. Scan the ingredient labels of products to see if they contain gentle, plant-derived surfactants (the prefix coco- equals coconut, for example; gluco- equals fruit sugars). The natural source is often hinted at in the name of a product. Make sure acid-laced products are pH-balanced This means their pH is in sync with skin, so they gently remove sebum (an oily substance secreted by the skin) and makeup without stripping
