an you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started on TikTok?

Sure! I’m a former Sephora Beauty Advisor who worked in the makeup and skincare department. I LOVED my job because I loved seeing the impact beauty had on people’s selfesteem. When I was working at Sephora I was also completing my master’s degree in opera singing. When the pandemic happened, I wasn’t able to work at Sephora due to the store shut down and I wasn’t able to sing publicly so I started sharing my beauty tips on TikTok and my videos went viral. From there, I’ve been lucky enough to build an online community where I share product reviews and educational skincare content.

You've gained a large following on TikTok. What do you think sets your content apart and keeps people coming back for more?

that’s about a mile long. Whenever a random idea pops into my head throughout the day I write it there. Then I can usually visualize the video in my head before I even film it so I already have an idea of exactly what I want my video to be like. I usually film my videos on my back camera on my iPhone and after filming lots of my “notes app” ideas I take time to edit them so that they match the video I had playing in my head.

You often incorporate humor into your videos. How do you come up with ideas for comedic content? Usually, I’ll see a new trending original sound on TikTok that’s hilarious and think to myself, “hmm…how can this be used for relatable beauty content?” But sometimes it’s directly inspired by real-life events too like the time my boyfriend walked in on me shaving my big toe when we first started living together. I made a comedic video about that and I genuinely think it went viral because so many women could relate. Body hair is still a taboo topic but knowing that everyone has it is one of the comforting things about being on Beauty TikTok.

“I loved

seeing the impact beauty Your videos have been featured on several popular TikTok had on accounts. How does it feel to receive recognition from peoplé s other creators and brands? It honestly feels so surreal and amazing Your videos often have a positive selfto know I’ve created and started my and uplifting tone. Is there a own trends on TikTok. Being able particular message or theme that esteem ” to connect with other creators and you try to convey through your My goal is to share helpful tips and make beauty and skincare feel fun and approachable. It can be overwhelming to create a skincare routine, there are SO many products out there! And that’s where I hope to come in—to help people feel inspired and empowered to find products that they love. Ultimately, I hope that people watch my videos and feel uplifted and excited about beauty.

content?

The main message is that beauty and self-care is fun and can turn you into the most confident version of yourself. I’m very aware that lots of young people are watching and following what I do which is why I am very vocal about my dislike of beauty filters on the internet and why I’m passionate about showing my real unfiltered skin in my videos. Also regularly try to remind my audience that the internet is curated and I will film my videos in the best lighting possible which can make my skin look smoother and more even than it actually is!

Can you walk us through your creative process for making a TikTok video? I have a list of ideas on my notes page on my phone

37

people who feel the same way is such an incredible experience. One of my favorite trends I started was showcasing all the skincare mistakes I made to a trending remix of “It’s a hard knock life.” Seeing other people tag me in their videos was so much fun and that’s what TikTok is all about, building that sense of community.

Can you tell us about a time when you faced a challenge in your TikTok career, and how you overcame it? One of my biggest challenges so far has been dealing with creators taking credit for my own original content. The wildest instance was when I had created my own original sound for a trend I created that showcased what it felt like to have ADHD. Another user used my sound and accused other people who had joined in on my trend of

QP


copying her video. It was really infuriating at the time because constantly creating new ideas is challenging but it was an important lesson for me. I decided to let it go and continue focusing on my own content. You can’t feed into negativity and let things like that take up your time and energy when they can be better used elsewhere.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to grow their following on TikTok? IThe biggest piece of advice I have is to make your content valuable! Whether that means your videos are entertaining, funny, relatable, or educational it’s important to remember as you are starting out that no one knows who you are (or cares really)

so you have to offer your audience value in some way to build a community. I would also say that staying in your lane and not comparing yourself to other creators is important because everyone has their own style and what works best for them.

Lastly, can you give us a sneak peek into any upcoming projects or collaborations that you have in the works? I can’t reveal much at the moment but be sure to follow me @sarahpalmyra on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube because there will be a lot more exciting things happening in 2023! And stay tuned for longer-form content coming your way on my YouTube channel this year.

ECO-FASHION and SUSTAINABLE

MATERIALS (in all fashion segments) By ANNA VOLOS @anika_volos_

In recent years, environmental issues have become a pressing concern for the entire world,

and the fashion industry is no exception. Eco-fashion is not just a trend, but a necessity to make our planet more sustainable and healthy. In this article, we will explore eco-friendly materials and their use in fashion, as well as the impact of this trend on the fashion industry.

QP

First, let's define what eco-friendly materials are. Eco-friendly materials in fashion are materials that are produced with minimal impact on the environment. These can be materials that are made from recycled materials, as well as materials that can be easily recycled or repurposed after use. Clothing made from eco-friendly materials is becoming increasingly popular in the fashion industry, including all segments of fashion, from jeans and sneakers to evening gowns. Let's take a look at some of the most popular eco-friendly materials:

ORGANIC COTTON: This is cotton that is grown

without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is safer for the environment and for people working on farms. TENCEL: This is a fiber made from wood cellulose fibers. Tencel production consumes less water and energy than cotton production and is less polluting. RECYCLED MATERIALS: Textiles made from recycled materials, such as plastic bottles or old clothing. This allows the use of existing materials and reduces waste. RECYCLED POLIESTER: The production of recycled polyester consumes less energy and water than the production of new polyester. BAMBOO VISCOSE: Grows quickly and requires minimal amounts of chemical fertilizers or water to grow. The production of bamboo viscose requires less energy than the production of viscose from wood fibers. LINEN: This is a plant that is grown without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and does not require large amounts of water. MODAL: This fiber is made from wood cellulose, produced with minimal impact on the environment.

FABRICS CREATED MUSHROOMS: Mushrooms

BASED

ON

contain natural adhesives that can be used to create various fabrics. SEAWEED: Some companies have started to use seaweed to create new materials such as bioplastics and textile fibers.

And these are just some examples of innovative eco-materials that are being used to create clothing today. Scientific research in this field continues, and we can expect even more amazing and innovative materials in the future.

The use of eco-friendly materials in fashion has great potential to reduce the industry's negative impact on the environment. For example, the production of one conventional cotton t-shirt consumes about 2700 liters of water, while the production of one organic cotton t-shirt consumes only about 450 liters of water. This means that using organic cotton can reduce water consumption in clothing production by 83%.

IMAGE CREATED USING MICROSOFT BING AI

Making one pair of regular jeans can require up to 7000 liters of water and a large amount of energy. About 23% of water pollution worldwide is related to the textile industry. In addition, clothing and footwear production is responsible for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Just imagine! For example, using recycled polyester instead of new polyester can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 32% and waste by 88%. Fashion brands and designers are increasingly paying attention to eco-materials and ecofashion. Many brands have been preferring ecofriendly materials for quite some time. Here are some of them: Patagonia, Eileen Fisher, Stella McCartney, Nudie Jeans, Reformation,

QP

and many others use organic cotton, recycled polyester, Tencel, mushroom leather, and other eco-friendly materials. Major brands such as Adidas and Levi's have also introduced collections based on eco-friendly materials. According to a McKinsey & Company survey, eco-fashion accounted for 3% of the fashion market as early as 2021, but it is expected to grow to 10% by 2025. This is a positive trend and supports the growing interest in sustainability in the fashion industry. However, there are also some challenges associated with eco-fashion. The production of eco-friendly materials can be more costly and complex than the production of traditional materials, which can lead to higher product prices. In addition, not all eco-friendly materials may be available in large quantities, limiting opportunities for mass production. There are also concerns that some companies may use the term "eco-friendly" for marketing purposes, but may not actually do anything significant to reduce their negative impact on the environment. Therefore, it is important not only to pay attention to the use of eco-friendly materials but also to the company's overall environmental strategy. Despite the challenges, the use of ecological materials and the development of eco-fashion represent significant potential for creating a more sustainable fashion industry and reducing its negative impact on the environment. As consumers, we can also contribute to this process by choosing products made from ecofriendly materials and supporting brands that are taking steps towards more sustainable fashion.

CRUELTY-FREE

&CLEAN SKIN PRODUCTS By JENNIFER CARTER @jennifer_carter_official

Healthy, glowing skin does not happen by accident. It takes commitment and consistency. This is your reminder to stay hydrated and remember your sunscreen. As we get ready for the summer sun and vacations, we will switch to the products we love most for hot days and sunny rays. I have put together a list of my favorite summer skin tips and products that give me a beautiful, Our skin absorbs what we put on it, and we need to choose products carefully. The percentage of skin products that are absorbed into our skin can vary depending on the specific product, its ingredients, and our unique individual skin. However, studies have shown that, on average, around 60-70% of the ingredients in a skincare product are absorbed into the skin. This means

QP

that although a percentage of the product stays on the surface of the skin and is eventually washed away, it’s important to use skincare products as directed and pay attention to certain ingredients. When deciding what products to choose, it can be overwhelming with all the choices. A good place to start and focus is on clean, cruelty-free products.

66


WHAT ARE CRUELTY-FREE AND CLEAN SKIN PRODUCTS? Cruelty-free skin products are products that are not tested on animals during any stage of their production. They are made with ingredients that have not been tested on animals and are not derived from animals. They often label these products with logos such as the Leaping Bunny or PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program to show their crueltyfree status. PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies program is a cruelty-free certification program for beauty and personal care products. The program was launched in 2013 and is designed to help consumers identify products. Clean skin products are skincare products that are formulated with natural, organic ingredients with vitamins, antioxidants, and nourishing oils that help to improve the health of the skin without the risk of negative side effects that harsh chemicals can cause. Clean beauty products help reduced the risk of irritation because the natural and organic ingredients are less likely to cause irritation, making clean skin products ideal for those with sensitive skin. If you are looking to be more environmentally friendly, they formulate many clean skin products with sustainably sourced, biodegradable ingredients that are less harmful to the environment. This is a simple way to switch things up and start going green.

Cruelty-Free, Clean skin products offer several benefits for the skin, and are an excellent choice for those looking for a more natural, kinder, and safer approach to skincare.
