Janelle Hallier

Biography

Janelle Hallier is a Californian entrepreneur with two authentic and valuable projects under her belt. She has not only dedicated herself to founding her own brand and range of products for skincare and holistic nutrition, but has also established an association to empower and advise successful women. For her, it is truly meaningful to develop her businesses with generosity, purpose, and spirit. Below, she explains her infallible keys to entrepreneurial success and her profound concept of beauty.

I started by working in the health and wellness field, having a private practice in Los Angeles.

Later, I holistically created beauty products to sell directly to the consumer – after signing an exclusive agreement with the boutique Violet Grey.

My latest project has been the creation of a global leadership community of extraordinary and elite women.

What is the best piece of advice you have been given throughout your professional career?
“If the path to get what you want isn't clear, create it yourself.”

What motivated you to create The Association?
Usually, women tend to think that we must have our next move, business, and venture figured out.

What if you didn't have to do it alone?
Startup founders and entrepreneurial women know that at the top of the peak, you can feel isolated and alone.

What if a support and confidant group for your business were created, and we all collaborated to find solutions to our problems?
That is how The Association was born.

A global group – formed by successful women – that aims to provide support, both professionally and personally.

For me, beauty is much deeper than that.”

BEAUTY QUESTIONNAIRE

- What is your morning beauty routine?
Using a microfiber face cloth, I cleanse my face with water only. I apply some Dennis Grossman AHA and BHA pads and a rose water toner with HA and Vit C. Finally, depending on how my skin feels, I mix bronzer with a light moisturizer or an oil.

- What are your favorite products?
I love using natural products; any ingredient from the kitchen will always be my first choice.

At night I use sesame oil for my body and during the day I apply Matcha tea as a soothing toner. Also, I think honey as a mask is wonderful, isn't it?

I also really like other active ingredients such as pearl powder, Retin-A, AHAs/BHAs, niacinamide, and beta-glucan.

- Tell us an infallible beauty secret or product.
A very cheap beauty secret is to spray freshly squeezed lemon juice on your face to have glowing skin.

Do you want to know another secret?
To have skin in the best condition, you must follow a routine maintenance program and never stop!

Some of the machines I have at home for daily skin care are: a radiofrequency machine, an electric microneedling pen, a microcurrent device, and finally, a mesotherapy gun to keep the skin naturally glowing. Likewise, all the treatments I get at Beldon Beauty – such as facials and Accent Prime – greatly benefit the care of my skin.

- Your favorite beauty look that never fails.
A bronze smokey eye.

- How do you take care of your beauty from the inside?
I always keep in mind the vitamins and nutrients of the food I eat. I like smoothies, beauty bowls, green juices, and vegetables. Likewise, I study the benefits of other foods and add them to my diet if they convince me.

- What is your favorite exercise or sport?
I love dancing salsa and doing yoga. I recently discovered the FitOn app. It has many fun classes and you can also choose the workout based on the time you have.

- An unfinished subject in the world of beauty.
Beauty should not be based solely on appearance or the products you use.

For me, beauty is much deeper than that.

If I focus on languages and art, I feel beauty and passion within me.

If I focus on living life with joy and kindness, I am connected to love.

If I focus on living life with intention and purpose, I find myself with calm and power.

All those attributes are what define my concept of beauty. After all, they last over time and superficial beauty eventually fades. Do not forget it.

For me, beauty is much deeper than that.

- Summer is coming soon, what would be your beauty routine and how do you prepare for this season?
When the good weather arrives, I take advantage as much as possible to carry out outdoor activities. I really like going for walks and enjoying the sun, but it is important to protect yourself from it. I love using the Esthederm Sun Care Body Oil because it helps me protect my skin and hair if I get too much sun exposure.
