The latest installment of our More Than Skin Deep series features Stella Simona, designer and co-founder of two jewelry lines, Amarilo and Haati Chai. As the daughter of East Indian immigrants, Stella draws inspiration from her heritage to create heirloom-inspired pieces that are modern yet timeless. To get to know the Bengali beauty better, we caught up with Stella to get her best tips for a minimal makeup look, plus the exfoliating treatment that changed her skin for the better.
The first skin care product she bought for herself:
I would say it was the Clean & Clear Essentials Deep Cleaning Astringent way back in junior high.
The best (and worst) thing she’s done to her skin:
The best thing I do for my skin is a honey and turmeric face mask. Whatever skin concern you’re dealing with, it will [address] the issue and make your skin feel and look better.
On the flip side, the worst thing I did was use crappy sunscreen or no sunscreen at all.
The exfoliating treatment that changed her (and her husband’s) skin:
I’m a big fan of the Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peels by Dr. Dennis Gross. I’ve been using them for about five years now. Within the first week, I noticed a dramatic improvement in the texture of my skin. My husband uses them too and also noticed results pretty quickly.
Her secret to a natural, glowy look:
For me, a good makeup look is when you can’t even tell any makeup was used to enhance the skin. Also, a good makeup brush really makes a big difference. I only use Artis brushes to apply my makeup. The Palm Brush is perfect for applying foundation since it allows for a natural, flawless application.
