Meet Kristen Ma, one of the top estheticians in the city, whose list of beauty insider credentials is as long as the ingredient lists on most shampoo bottles. An overview: Kristen is an ayurvedic practitioner, the co-owner (with mom, Jean) of Pure + Simple spas, and the author of both Beauty: Pure + Simple (McArthur & Co) and the blog Holistic Vanity. She’s also fun and forthright on the subject of skin care, having struggled with acne in the past. (“You’d be surprised how enlightening being a personal guinea pig for a plethora of products and treatments can be!”)
In this new section (a partnership between The Style Notebook and Michelle Villett’s BeautyEditor.ca), Kristen answers our in-depth “Beauty Insider” questionnaire. Read on for Kristen’s beauty icon, biggest beauty fail and her top five must-have beauty products.
