A few weeks ago, on a sweltering summer day, I decided to gather twelve of my chicest (and coincidently some of most beautiful!) friends for a little Tata Harper Pamper Party. Since meeting Tata a few months back and learning about her 100% non-toxic and all natural brand, Tata Harper Skincare, I have been totally hooked. As all of you know… I simply can’t stop raving! Her story totally inspired me and after testing her entire line, and coming to the realization that my face felt like I had botox, I couldn’t help but share the love.
Over champagne, rosé and macaroons (and obviously more rosé and champagne) Tata talked about the importance of using non-toxic chemical on our skin and how her line is one of the only brands – in the world – to deliver real and visible results, without sacrificing the health of our skin and bodies. We all washed our faces, applied little white terrycloth headbands, and allowed Tata to work her magic, taking us through steps necessary to achieve a TRULY radiant and noticeably PLUMPER glowing complexion.I use Tata’s entire line from start to finish in this order:
Regenerating Cleanser –For daily cleansing, apply to damp skin and massage gently to activate the enzymes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. To use as a deeper exfoliation treatment, apply to dry skin and massage gently to thoroughly exfoliate. Rinse with warm water.
Hydrating Floral Essence – Shake well before every use. Spray 4-5 times over the face and neck to boost hyaluronic acid and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
Rejuvenating Serum – Apply one pump over entire face and neck. This is your most important anti-aging step. For best results, apply directly after the Hydrating Floral Essence when face is damp. This contains 29 active ingredients!
Reparative Moisturizer – For increased barrier protection and moisture-retention, apply one pump over face and neck. The scent is my absolute favorite!
Replenishing Nutrient Complex – As your last layer, this provides your skin with nutrition and environmental protection. Apply a thin layer (for added glow)
Resurfacing Mask – For immediate glow, apply a thick layer of the Resurfacing Mask on a clean face. Leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes (10 minutes is recommended for sensitive skin). Rinse thoroughly with warm water. As a spot treatment, apply a small dab on blemishes and leave the product on overnight. Reapply as necessary.
This is what my FAB and utterly amazing friends had to say after our little Tata skincare soirée.
“After I met with Tata I’m for sure way more conscious about the products I use on my skin and want to switch, step by step, to all natural products. I’m now completely addicted to her toner and bought it last week after finishing every single drop that was left from the sample she gave us.”
-Nadia Josse, Public Relations Luxury Brand
“I absolutely love the moisturizer and have used it every day! It is not too heavy, so it has been perfect in this summer weather. The packaging is also so cute and fun!”
-Michelle Dillard, Buyer Michael Kors
“I have been searching for the perfect face cleanser for years. Every product I tried was either too heavy and would clog my pores, or too thin and would leave my skin dry. Tata immediately sold me on her Regenerating Cleaner when she said that it ‘does not contain any soaps, detergents or alcohol. The Regenerating Cleanser is a non-foaming face wash that thoroughly cleanses, gently exfoliates and restores radiance without stripping or drying the skin.’ And it truly does! I apply this every morning and night when my face is dry. It will lightly exfoliate and will not leave my skin parched. I’m so addicted to this wash, I really don’t think I will ever try anything else. I’m also hooked on the mask!”-Caitlin Kelly, Fashion Account Supervisor Alison Brod PR
“I discovered Tata’s Aromatic Irritability Treatment. I always have a hard time finding scents I love, so when I smelled this oil with roman chamomile and bergamot, I fell in love! With minerals that fight irritability, its right up my alley for a girl starting a new company. I dab it on my wrists and neck every morning when I do my makeup and before I go out at night.”
-Natalie Obradovich, Interior Designer
“One thing that really stood out to me about the Tata Harper products is the story behind the brand. I think it is incredibly compelling. It also makes you look at every product in your medicine cabinet differently. In such a health conscious age in which we are so focused on what we put into our bodies (because I am one of these people), Tata’s line makes you think about what we are putting on our bodies. I know that I make an effort to eat organic, local, and clean, but I never thought about what products I was using on my face and body. I love the lip balm too.”– Kristen O’Neill, Designer & Founder Porter Grey
“I immediately related to Tata’s story and inspiration for her line, as so many people in my life have been affected by cancer. Tata started her line after learning that her father in law had been diagnosed with cancer and his Dr. suggested the use of all natural and non-toxic skincare products. I have always been very conscious of what I put in my body, trying to stay away from anything processed that could harm my body. Like so many people, I did not think about how my luxury skincare products played into my health, and that I could actually be absorbing toxins through my skin from those products I applied religiously everyday. Speaking with Tata and learning about her line was eye opening. Tata’s line is the newest additional to my arsenal of beauty and daily effort to live cleanly.
