osmeceutical Experts are among the best in their field. Nominated by their Peers, Vendor or Retailer, they represent the highest standard in skincare consultation. NEOSTRATA∏, an expert in dermocosmetics, congratulates each winner for their outstanding customer service all year long.
CONGRATULATIONS JAYNE LYU NEOSTRATA® Cosmeceutical Expert, Shoppers Drug Mart, Richmond, BC
ustomers tend to have many concerns, but an ever-climbing new trend we are seeing is those seeking to achieve a uniformed and luminous skin in all age groups. The pandemic has kept us from our social gatherings, and we are all looking for that “big reveal” effect. Everyone seems tired of their shabby, tired and discoloured complexions. My customers always share with me the new “hacks” that they learn from social media, or sometimes ask me about the “trick” to achieve youthful and uniformed skin. I believe, my role, as a beauty specialist, is not to sell them the “short cut” with no results, but rather to guide them through the process of achieving the outcome they are craving and have those results last! Enter NEOSTRATA®. As a brand, based on science, with independent, clinical results and Dermatologist grade ingredients, my customers love when I tell them that I have exactly what they need.
CUSTOMERS SEEM TO BE REALLY INTERESTED IN SKINCARE FOR THEIR ENTIRE BODY. WHAT ARE PRODUCTS THAT YOU MENTION COMMONLY WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS WHEN IT COMES MAKING A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION?
W
henever our customers purchase any facial skincare, we always remind them that body care is really important in a daily routine.
IT SEEMS CUSTOMERS ARE REALLY STRUGGLING WITH ONGOING ISSUES LIKE DARK CIRCLES AND DARKNESS AROUND THE EYE AREA. ARE YOU ABLE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS, TOO?
D
ark circles around the eye contour seem to be a universal concern no matter the skin type, race, or age. We get asked about it a lot and it seems even more now that everyone is wearing masks and there is so much attention given to our eyes and staring at ourselves in virtual meetings.
For my team, NEOSTRATA’S BRIGHTENING EYE CREAM has been our holy grail product to show for our customers that are so tired of looking so tired! This product targets the look of dark circles, enhances brightness and firming all while it smooths. The best part is my customers do not have to choose between an antiaging and anti-fatigue product, as they get that all in one! Customers can be skeptical after trying so many eye creams on the market. I always like to show my clients the unretouched before and after pictures for this reason. I tell my customers this because in a world full of filters, I want them to see, that what they see, is what they get. Outstanding results!
Our first go-to product my team loves to show is NEOSTRATA’S TRIPLE FIRMING NECK CREAM, not only for its ingredients, but for its effectiveness. On top of its antiaging benefits and powerhouse firming effects, this neck cream also gently exfoliates and smooths and helps to fade the appearance of discolouration to leave a more even skin tone with its signature ingredient 8% NEOGLUCOSAMINE. It never fails to thrill our customers when we show and educate on the NEOSTRATA GLYCOLIC RENEWAL SMOOTHING LOTION. I love that this product can be used on your face, body, and hands, so it makes it very versatile. It contains 10% AHAs for the ultimate smoothness and is great for ingrown hairs.
BRIGHTENING EYE CREAM THIS POWERFUL BRIGHTENING CREAM blends together antioxidants, peptides, and algae extracts to target visible dark circles under the eyes. An antiaging blend of Gluconolactone plus Bionic Acid targets skin’s natural hydrating matrix to cushion and brighten the appearance of dark, under eye skin.
“EACH NEW YEAR brings exciting changes and challenges. This year, for all of us, will be no different. With each breath of newness in whatever its form, remind yourselves the permission to not only grow, but to flourish! At NEOSTRATA, we’ve got you! Science-based solutions for your customer’s toughest skincare problems. Come GROW with us! “— Patricia Clare, NEOSTRATA National Training Manager

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

WE’RE ALMOST THERE! After two years of living with the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems that the end may be in sight. As I write this, many restrictions are being lifted, case numbers and hospitalizations are coming down, and things are starting to open up again. What an unimaginable ride this has been! While we all want to move towards some sort of normality, if that is even possible, I think we can all agree that what we once perceived as normal has evolved and will continue to evolve. Over the past two years, online shopping has increased from 30% pre-COVID to 65% and climbing with studies showing half of the world’s population to be shopping online by the end of 2022 – spending a whopping 3 billion dollars. Many believe that technology has progressed much faster during the pandemic, saying that in the past two years it has jumped ahead the equivalent of five years. Advancements in AI (Artificial Intelligence) are moving faster that anyone imagined and are on trend to continue that upward curve. All of this rapid change means we will all have to do things a little differently in the future and of course, that future starts right now. Due to the bombardment of social media, fake news and online reviews, keeping loyal customers will become a new challenge. You will need to try to stay on top of trends and work all that much harder to maintain your customer loyalty. Retails brick and mortar stores are not going anywhere soon, but many of you will be working a lot harder to get your clients back into the store on a regular basis. Get innovative, stay on top of emerging trends in technology, go that extra mile for your customer and provide the best sales experience that will keep them choosing an in-store experience over one online. The good news is that all indications point to this being over soon. We will learn to live with COVID as it becomes part of our future. Keep that smile on your face and that enthusiasm up front and centre, and things will look great going forward. Oh, and don’t forget to go to Cosmeticsmag.com to vote for your favourite service provider for the Beauty’s Best Awards (formerly COSA Awards) and your favourite product for the 2022 “I Recommend” Beauty Awards.

AFTER WHAT FEELS LIKE another extra-long winter, spring's super bright palette delivers the mood-booster we didn't know we needed. Bold and playful neons rendered into one-piece catsuits, like those monogrammed at Gucci; sequin pants, bra tops and bomber jackets at David Koma, and dramatic silhouettes like capes and gowns at Christian Siriano created a colourful runway at spring and summer fashion presentations. Eye makeup was no exception, with graphic liner popping in bright orange at Chloé and neon green blazed alongside brilliant blue at Versace. Celebrities like Ella Purnell and Kim Kardashian have also been leaning into the happy hues on and off the red carpet —Purnell rocking neon green Valentino at the Critics Choice Awards and Kardashian showcasing head-to-toe neon pink on the 'Gram.

Pinterest reported a 115 per cent increase in searches for “galaxy nail art” in 2021, and predicts it will keep going strong through 2022. “I think we’ll start to lean more into organic, impressionistic, artful nail looks this year,” says Toronto-based nail artist and Essie global lead educator Rita Remark. “Galaxy nail art is super striking and easy to achieve.” Here’s a clever hack: Use a cut-up cosmetic wedge and tweezers to sponge your chosen galaxy colours overtop of a dark nail base (like black or navy blue). “Create a wavy line pattern that’s different across each nail,” she suggests. “And if you’re not a skilled nail artist, you can dab a glitter polish in some areas across each nail to create the stars.” — Lora Grady

Online searches for “space buns natural hair” have skyrocketed over the past year. “The Black power movement has made it more popular,” says Toronto-based celebrity hairstylist Justin German. “People are growing out and embracing their natural hair.” If you want to achieve the look at home, it’s pretty simple — all you need are some hair elastics (and maybe bobby pins) and a few key products. Start by applying a leave-in conditioner. Next, split your hair down the centre, creating two sections, and use a gel to smooth hair into pig tails, says German. Then just wrap each pigtail into a bun or round afro puff. “You want to leave your natural texture showing,” he adds. If you want to add extra volume, use a clipin puff under your hair. — Lora Grady

GET YOUR (re)FILL Refillable beauty is (finally) officially here! Here’s how cutting back on packaging can make a difference across the industry
By Lora Grady
SPRING 2022 | COSMETICSMAG.COM
25
EVERY APRIL,
Earth Day gives us a moment to reflect on how we can make sustainable changes to help save the environment. After all, it’s no secret that the beauty industry has a plastic problem: A report from Zero Waste Week found that more than 120 billion units of cosmetics packaging are produced globally each year. And if our wasteful ways continue, researchers estimate that by 2050, roughly 12,000 metric tons of plastic waste will be in landfills or the natural environment. Here’s the good news: Research shows that refillable cosmetics containers could eliminate up to 70% of carbon emissions associated with the beauty industry. And as beauty consumers show increasing interest in reducing their use of plastics in everyday life, brands are rolling out new innovative, eco-friendly packaging all the time. American market-research firm Mintel reported that the reusable packaging market for beauty and personal care products grew by about 65% from 2020 to 2021. Iconic skincare and makeup brands, including The Body Shop, Glow Recipe, Dior, Hermes and Charlotte Tilbury, have all recently launched refillable packaging for fan favourites. Refillable beauty isn’t a new trend, though — Rouge Dior lipstick was originally sold in refillable versions in the 1950s. The Body Shop also sold refills when it first opened in 1976 out of sheer necessity (founder Anita Roddick couldn’t afford to buy new bottles).
26
Now, The Body Shop is bringing refills back with options for select shampoos, conditioners, hand washes and shower gels — this time, out of the need to protect the environment. “By the end of 2022, 79% of store locations across Canada will offer refills,” says Hilary Lloyd, The Body’s Shop’s vice president of marketing and values for North America. “By 2025, we will have zero waste packaging, meaning 100% of our packaging will be reusable, recyclable or compostable.” She points out that by switching to refills, The Body Shop customers could prevent up to 32 plastic bottles per customer from going to waste each year, while helping to prevent up to 2,200 g of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. So far, Lloyd says, the consumer response has been overwhelming. “In some store locations, over 50 per cent of customers are choosing refill over our standard pack.” Beauty consumers unquestionably play a huge role in the demand for more sustainable packaging options. Glow Recipe co-founder Sarah Lee says the community is a big part of why they decided to venture into refillable packaging; she and her co-founder, Christine Chang, received countless messages from customers requesting it. That’s why the new Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream comes in a refillable version that pops neatly into the original glass jar. “We’re constantly working to reduce our environmental footprint and

“Sustainability is a journey that we believe we can all take together, day by day.” challenge ourselves to become more eco-conscious,” says Chang. Glow Recipe is also partnered with TerraCycle, a recycling company that helps beauty consumers recycle waste that’s typically unrecyclable through the traditional means. Their partnerships with companies like Glow Recipe and Burt’s Bees allow individuals and organizations to ship beauty waste (used jars, tubes, etc.) to TerraCycle for free, where it can be processed and used to make new recycled items. “The old adage of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ still rings true when you need to purchase new beauty products,” says Alex Payne, public relations manager for TerraCycle. The best way to reduce your carbon footprint is by forgoing new products altogether, he says, but when you must buy them, the reuse option — purchasing refillable beauty products — is the next best thing: “Removing packaging from the equation with each subsequent purchase translates to huge savings in resources, carbon emissions and landfill space.” There’s a lot more that can be done when it comes to supporting the environment and cutting down on waste, says Lee, from using sustainable packaging materials like recyclable glass or post-consumer recycled plastic, ethically sourcing ingredients or partnering with organizations like TerraCycle to properly recycle products. Ultimately, “it’s about being mindful and doing your best. Sustainability is a journey that we believe we can all take together, day by day.”

Oh soleil, soleil ! CE PRINTEMPS-CI, plus que
jamais d’ailleurs étant donné le contexte morose, on veut afficher un visage qui dégage beaucoup de fraîcheur ! Alors, on se concocte un maquillage plein d’éclat, mais sans surcharge. On opte pour les tons de rose ou de joliment orangé, en harmonie avec un hâle irisé jumeau à effet bonne mine. La vedette incontournable de la saison est le fard à joues, qui fait son grand retour au pourtour des yeux. On a la pêche et on adore le soleil. Joyeux printemps !

La devise à appliquer est éternelle : pour une chevelure en santé, le must est de se procurer la crème des soins lavants et protecteurs contre la chaleur.

I N N OVA T I O N B E AU T É Ma rencontre l’automne dernier avec la très expérimentée et réputée Isabelle Villeneuve, biochimiste et dermocosmétologue, vice-présidente Stratégie, Innovation et Qualité de Laboratoire Dr Renaud a été révélatrice. Laboratoire Dr Renaud est une marque de cosmétiques fondée il y a 70 ans et établie au Québec depuis 50 ans. Elle conçoit des soins cosmétiques ultra performants issus de la recherche, de la science et de l’innovation et, au Québec depuis 1995, c’est avec Isabelle que ça se passe.
Q : La Crème Somptueuse
Rajeunissante PURE Re[Gene] de Laboratoire Dr Renaud est végane, sans parabènes, formaldéhyde, MIT, triclosan, BHA-BHT, COLORANTS, ALCOOL, peg, sulfates, phatalates, huiles 38
minérales, dioxane ni gluten. Pourquoi et en quoi contribue-telle à la régénération de la peau ?
R : Les cytokines biomimétiques imitent des peptides naturellement présents dans notre peau. Ce sont des molécules de communication capables de réguler le renouvellement cellulaire, la réparation et la différentiation. Elles fournissent des instructions positives aux cellules pour favoriser leur rajeunissement. PURE Re[Gene] s’appuie sur le complexe Cell2Cell exclusif à Laboratoire Dr Renaud. Ce cocktail innovant exceptionnel renferme au moins cinq cytokines (peptides) biomimétiques, qui activent les mécanismes naturels de la peau et contribuent donc à la nourrir et raffermir. Chaque cellule de la peau fonctionne alors plus efficacement
et en harmonie avec les autres. Notre Complexe Cell2Cell améliore efficacement la production de collagène et d’élastine et, ultimement, renouvelle la densité, l’élasticité et la fermeté de la peau. Q : En quoi votre nouveau soin anti-âge Crème Somptueuse Rajeunissante se distingue-t-il de la concurrence ? R : Non seulement elle renferme notre complexe Cell2Cell, ce qui en fait un soin rajeunissant à haut degré d’intervention, mais nos chercheurs ont aussi veillé à la doter d’une texture luxueuse et raffinée, incroyablement veloutée, enveloppante et fondante. L’appliquer est un pur moment de bonheur pour les sens. Q : Quel type de peau ce soin cible-t-il ?
COSMETICSMAG.COM |
SPRING 2022
R : La Crème Somptueuse Rajeunissante PURE Re[Gene] est spécialement formulée pour toute personne cherchant à prévenir ou cibler le relâchement cutané, les rides installées ainsi qu’une perte de volume, de fermeté et de densité. Elle est adaptée à tous les types de peaux, même les plus sensibles, à l’exception des peaux grasses et des peaux à tendance acnéique. Q : Grâce à l’avancement des technologies ainsi qu’aux avancées les plus pointues de la recherche scientifique, les soins créés sont de plus en plus performants. Combien d’applications de votre nouveau soin faut-il pour obtenir un beau résultat ?
Ré v ol uti on C osmé tique s
R : Ses effets sont visibles dès la première semaine d’utilisation. La peau est plus lisse, le teint plus éclatant. Il est important de l’utiliser matin et soir pour des résultats optimaux.

Q : Quel est votre conseil ultime pour préserver son capital beauté malgré les nombreuses sources de stress de la vie d’aujourd’hui ? R : Puisque 80 % des signes de l'âge sont dus à des facteurs extérieurs, dont principalement le pouvoir délétère des rayons solaires, il est absolument nécessaire d’appliquer une protection solaire avec un FPS d’au moins 30 pour terminer sa routine beauté. De bonnes habitudes de vie permettent aussi de conserver longtemps une peau d’apparence saine et jeune. La beauté et le bien-être qui en résultant valent largement l’investissement !

restrictions et les nombreux épisodes de confinement liés à la pandémie de COVID-19, on rêve d’une année 2022 plus optimiste en matière de beauté. On se répète que les masques vont finir par tomber pour laisser place au retour de la beauté de visages expressifs et bien soignés ! Tout ce temps, heureusement, l’industrie des cosmétiques n’a pas chômé. Et les consommatrices ont compris l’importance de bien prendre soin de soi. Les marques se sont donc lancées dans la création de formules bienfaisantes aptes à répondre aux attentes de leur clientèle. Même si l’on est forcées d’avancer à visages masqués, les soins de la peau ont regagné leur place d’indispensable dans les routines beauté. Les tendances en la matière sont de plus en plus suivies et par un éventail de plus en plus large de la population. On scrute le marché et on découvre que les soins de la peau s’envisagent à la fois par voie interne avec les compléments alimentaires et par voie externe avec les masques, les gommages, les crèmes… Pistes fructueuses à suivre : les crèmes aux actifs fermentés, la cryothéraphie (la beauté par le froid), les cosmétiques responsables, ceux à la vitamine E, les soins dits holistiques, etc. S’occuper de sa beauté, c’est aussi veiller à son bien-être mental, adopter une hygiène de vie plus saine, prendre le temps de se chouchouter et adopter une philosophie de vie en adéquation avec ses attentes pour sa peau et son corps. La tendance invite à une sélection rigoureuse de marques pour leur approvisionnement en actifs, la qualité rigoureuse de leurs soins et aussi leurs valeurs. On fait place nette et on se lance à la conquête du meilleur de soi. Que la beauté soit ! Voici un tour d’horizon des tendances cosmétiques de la saison. 39

RETINOL HAS LONG BEEN touted
as one of the best multi-tasking skincare solutions, since it takes on wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes. But if you’ve been using it for a while and you’re looking for something stronger, it typically requires a visit to the dermatologist. That’s why more skincare brands are using retinaldehyde, or retinal, in night creams and serums. It’s a precursor to tretinoin, which is stronger than retinol and requires a prescription. “Topical retinol, or vitamin A, and its derivatives like retinaldehyde are among the most effective substances in over-the-counter cosmeceuticals when it comes to slowing the skin-aging process,” says Dr. Jason Rivers, medical director at Vancouver’s Pacific Derm and clinical professor in the Department of Dermatology and Skin Science at the University of British Columbia. The short-term benefits include improved cell renewal, he says, and over time, you’ll notice improved skin texture, a reduction in fine lines and less visible pores. “Retinaldehyde is like the fountain of youth,” says Maxine Ryan, senior
trainer at Avène’s parent company Pierre Fabre. The first brand in the world to use the ingredient, Avène has been using retinaldehyde in its products since 1994. As skin ages, Ryan says, the amount of collagen and elastin we produce also decreases, causing fine lines and wrinkles. “Retinaldehyde activates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, increasing skin’s firmness.” Most skin types can benefit from retinaldehyde, says Dr. Rivers (though it’s important to note that pregnant women should avoid retinoids altogether). “Because it’s generally better tolerated than tretinoin, people with sensitive skin can try it.” Still, he recommends an acclimatization period. Ryan adds that it’s normal to experience some sensitivity and slight flaking. Both she and Dr. Rivers recommend using the cream two or three times a week at first to allow your skin to adjust. Dr. Rivers also recommends avoiding alcohol-based toners or high-concentration chemical peels while using retinaldehyde. The sun can decrease the efficacy of retinoids, so use it at night and don’t forget the SPF in the morning.
