We can’t wait to introduce you to Denise Vasi<\/a>, the founder of the inclusive lifestyle publication, Maed<\/a>. Read on to learn how she navigates her beauty routine throughout the day. <\/p>\n

What is your morning beauty routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I get up as early as I can so I have enough time to mentally prepare myself for the day, go through my morning skincare routine, and upload my daily motivational quote to Instagram. I’ll grab a glass of water with lemon and wash my face. <\/p>\n

If my skin is looking a little drab, I’ll use Kora Organics’ Turmeric Brightening and Exfoliating Mask<\/a>; it leaves my face super smooth and glowy and I instantly feel more awake. I tone with a spritz of Biossance’s Squalane + Hyaluronic Toning Mist<\/a> and follow with a serum. Right now, I’m loving Symbiome\u2019s The Answer<\/a>, a reparative serum that supports cell turn over, then I use Biossance’s Squalane + Omega Repair Cream<\/a>. It’s been my go-to day cream for a few years now because it\u2019s not too heavy and has just the right amount of hydration for my combination skin. It wears really well under makeup, too. I pop on some eye patches, then head into the kitchen to brew some coffee. <\/p>\n

Once I\u2019ve got the kids sitting down for breakfast and lunch is packed, I\u2019ll throw on something comfy like MATE\u2019s Organic Terry Classic Jogger & Raglan<\/a> with a pair of Jordans and slap on sunscreen. My favorites are Biossance\u2019s Squalane & Zinc Sheer Mineral SPF<\/a> because it never leaves that grey cast behind, it\u2019s super moisturizing, and I love its texture.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll spritz my curls with Fekkai\u2019s Shea Butter Curl Refresh<\/a> to bring them back to life and then I\u2019m out the door with both kids. I drop my six-year-old off at school and head right back home with my toddler. After I change, I do my makeup, which is a quick 5 product routine. <\/p>\n

For skin, I use two shades of Kosas\u2019 Revealer Concealer<\/a>\u2014#6 & #7. I blend with my Artis<\/a> makeup brushes because I\u2019m addicted! You always get a flawless, finished look. Sweep bronzer over a few key areas of my face. I like Mented\u2019s Bronzer in Beach Bum<\/a>. Then I\u2019ll tap Saie\u2019s Dew Blush in Rosy<\/a> onto my cheeks and cheekbones, Bite Beauty\u2019s Upswing Mascara<\/a> on the lashes. I usually rock a red lip but I\u2019ve been keeping my lips pretty bare and natural these days. Ilia\u2019s Rosette Lipstick<\/a> is currently on repeat.<\/p>\n

What products do you use throughout the day and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have the driest elbows and hands known to woman, so I keep Thrones 54 African Beauty Butter<\/a> on my desk, in my bag, in the car\u2014I basically spread a bunch of tubes all around.<\/p>\n

I love Henne Organics\u2019 Lip Mask<\/a> for lip hydration. Reapply. Reapply. Reapply! Keeping your lips hydrated is the foundation for great lip application.<\/p>\n

I keep Wildling\u2019s Empress wand<\/a> on my desk and I use it throughout the day to release jaw tension and loosen any stiffness in my neck.<\/p>\n

I also use the Biossance Squalane + Hyaluronic Toning Mist<\/a> to set my makeup and refresh my face whenever I need it.<\/p>\n

And of course sunscreen!<\/p>\n

What is your evening beauty routine? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The days are often a blur to me. It\u2019s always go, go, go, so I make a point to have a real moment with myself in the evenings. Skincare is a big form of self-care for me. I\u2019ll take a relaxing shower, and I might use a scalp mask because taking care of your scalp is all the rage these days. I’ve been using Monpure\u2019s Stimulate Scalp Mask<\/a>. I love that it has camellia tea oil, which has essential nutrients and fatty acids to help stimulate hair follicles. After my shower, I gua sha. I find the practice meditative. Lately, I\u2019ve been using Costa Brazil\u2019s Kaya Anti-Aging face oil<\/a>. I\u2019m also big on beauty tech, so I might use a microcurrent toning device or lay down with my LED face mask for 20 minutes while listening to a podcast or guided meditation.<\/p>\n

What is your definition of beauty? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Individuality. Authenticity. Grace. Integrity. Loyalty. Kindness.<\/p>\n

When do you feel most beautiful? <\/strong><\/p>\n

When I\u2019m on a beach, the air is humid, and the ocean is nearby.<\/p>\n

Tell us about Maed<\/a> and what spurred you to found it! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Maed<\/a> is a lifestyle publication that I launched in 2018 after spending 20+ years modeling, acting and working with almost every major beauty brand. Maed<\/a> focuses on intentional living, self-care, and clean beauty from a very attainable approach.<\/p>\n

When I looked at the health and wellness space seven years ago there was a tremendous lack of diversity and inclusivity. I wanted to bring wellness and beauty content to all women, but I wanted it to be attainable and accessible to as many women as possible, especially women of color. So I took my passion for curating the best products and built a platform where women could learn and shop at every price point.<\/p>\n

My community trusts Maed<\/a> to do the work for them so they don\u2019t have to do all the legwork themselves\u2014they come to us to find the best of the best, at a price point that works for them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
