“Healthy is the New Sexy” is a philosophy we can get behind, on more levels than one.

Whether it comes to our overall physical health, mental health or the health of our skin, we believe that when you feel your best, you look your best. When asking TS Alum their #1 Style Tips, that message is almost always part of their answers.

The philosophy is one championed by Orveda, a new age-skincare rage that offers a healthy and holistic approach to beauty. Greener, cleaner and vegan, Orveda is inspired by ancient Ayurvedic, Naturopathic and Taoist principles. Products aim to work with your skin, not against it.

The brand was created by beauty legend, Sue Y. Nabi and Nicolas Vu and has become known for its genderless product offerings, as well as its microbiome and prebiotic focus. Combining the ancient traditions and the best of nature with cutting-edge science, Orveda creates highly-concentrated formulations that produce visible results that can rival make-up. Since using Orveda products, we can attest that foundation has become an optional component to our beauty routines, and not a necessary first step to makeup application.

While the products do run at a higher price point, the results are worth it. Orveda offerings allow for skin’s natural microflora to flourish and in turn, helps strengthen the skin’s barrier and bring back a healthy glow – which is exactly what we’re after.
