I have extremely sensitive skin with contact allergies to chemicals commonly found in skincare and makeup. It is hardest for me to find moisturizers that are truly effective and reasonable priced for given results. Suggestions?

[TataHFounder]

@JenK88 

I recommend finding out what chemicals you’re sensitive to, so you can easily avoid them. It may be best to use a line that’s a little more simple than ours since ours contains so many active ingredients. If you’re interested in trying one of our products then I would suggest the Repairative Moisturizer.

Hi Tata! I was wondering if you could explain the difference between "all-natural", "nature-inspired" and "clean beauty"? What are the common misconceptions out there? 

[TataHFounder]

Hi @Anonymous, 

For us, natural means that it grows on the earth - it wasn’t man made and it wasn’t found under the surface of the earth, like petroleum. Being 100% natural means that we don’t use any synthetic ingredients. We’re all about sourcing the best, high-quality ingredients. Some skincare companies use things that belong in machines or cars like propylene glycol, we’re not machines so why would we put this on our skin?

“Nature-inspired” means the formula can have natural ingredients like orchids or rose extracts but it also has synthetic ingredients most likely as the base or emulsifier or preservative in the formula.  If the formula has any presence of synthetic ingredients, then it’s not really 100% natural.

What do you eat in a day?

[TataHFounder]

Hi @Lolo1308!

I am pretty mindful with what I eat. Your health is so dependent on how you feed yourself.

Your skin needs 1/3rd of everything you eat, so I try to include a lot of fruit and vegetables in the mornings. My breakfast is a lot fruit bowls with berries, apricots and bananas - and I mix it with honey.

Mid day snack I love dark chocolate and Kind Bars - those are my go-to snacks.

Dinner, I like to keep it light. I eat a lot of vegetables like cauliflower heads with parmesan cheese, or artichokes with vinegar and lemon. I recently sauteed brussel sprouts with pine nuts and parmesan cheese and lemon. Also a lot of mushroom and spinach.

I’m 50 with relatively good skin. I get botox injections on my forehead. What’s a good skincare regime with your products for someone my age? Thanks! Love all the TH that I have used!

@TataHFounder Welcome!

hey gorgeous!

I am looking for a moisturizing mask that isnt too harsh or detoxing or peeling, but something that my face can just soak up all the vitamins without worrying about putting on too many AHAs etcs throughout the week (I have a blemish brone hyperpigmentation and combo skin). Which product can you recommend? Thank you Tata!

[rara12]

Hi Tata,

what would you say be the best cleanser for combo/ oily skin that is sensitive and acne prone? I have used the regenerating cleanser, but was too harsh for my skin

[Lolo1308]

What is your favorite natural looking mascara?

[bakeamuffin]

Thank you for joining us in the BIC! It’s great to have the opportunity to pick your brain ☺️ 

My undereyes tend to get very dry and are easily irritated, do you have any recommendations to soothe and hydrate that area without bothering it? 

Thanks again! 😊

[DanielleTeal]

is there anything that ACTUALLY helps with deep lines under the eyes?

[Evelyn2001]

Hi I was wondering if there was anything that would help with dark circles.

[sindee452]

What do you recommend for crepey undereye?

[TataHFounder]

Hi @sindee452 The one I would recommend the most is the Restorative Eye Cream. It’s very rich and it will hydrate, soothe and recondition the skin. There is Spanish Lavender that helps to give a smoothing effect that I really love.

[sindee452]

Thanks so much! Will definitely try!!
