Mischo Beauty Interviews 3LAB's co-founder Erica Chung & Giveaway!

I had the opportunity to take a tour of 3LAB last September during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and of course the chemist in me loved it! Well today I'm excited to present to you an interview with 3LAB's co-founder Erica Chung. Enjoy!

What makes 3LAB products different from other skincare brands currently on the market?

We have a state of the art R&D and manufacturing facility on the premises so we're constantly working together with the scientists and being introduced to newest ingredients as they become available in the market.

We are very conservative with our money except when it comes to investing into the highest qualities of ingredients for the products. We use the newest and most efficacious ingredients and we put the highest quantities into our products so they work on skin immediately.

Our goal is to create the perfect skincare products that will work for the people and we'd rather put our investment into jars than advertising.

What are your best tips for transitioning one's skincare regimen into the spring/summer months?

Protect your skin using sunscreen that defends against both UVA/UVB rays. Also, use anti-aging products to help delay the process of skin aging even if you don't have deep wrinkles to prevent them from showing up too soon.

Use 3LAB Perfect Mask 1-2 times a week to speed up circulation (it makes my skin look so radiant) and treat dehydrated skin from the heat and cold during the winter.

What's your top beauty secret?

I concentrate on the products targeting the skin's clarity and pigmentation because wrinkles are not the only sign of the skin's age- for many people, uneven complexion of the skin is. Clear and even skin tone is the key sign of youthful and healthy skin.

What's your favorite 3LAB product and why?

Multi-functioning Hydra Day with Water Based SPF 20 cream helps to show the perfect color of the makeup I put on each morning and stays that way without oxidizing or giving off too much shine. The formula is oil-free, yet hydrates the skin and is non-clogging to the pores. This cream is perfect for all skin types.

Super "h" Serum (launching exclusively at Barneys New York stores this May) is the reason for the complements I'm getting from people these days! They say that I look 20 years younger than my actual age of 52, and I love it! It gives my skin the radiance, firmness and clarity I've never had in my youth!

Thank you, Erica!

So here's how you can win the Super "h" Serum (valued at $300)! Just leave a comment below telling me why you'd like to try it, along with your email address (3LAB would love to keep you updated on upcoming events!) and you'll automatically be entered to win. The contest ends at 11:59pm on Sunday, May 17th. Contest open to U.S. residents only. The winner will be chosen at random.

I'm sure you all know how much I love 3LAB skincare and I'm happy to present to you the recently launched "M" Cream for today's giveaway. 3LAB's "M" Cream is a gel-cream that firms, hydrates and works to increase skin cell turnover- all of which keep skin looking young and fresh. It's formulated with stem cells, proven to slow/delay the aging process, from a rare Swiss Apple. This product is amazing!

Mischo Beauty Review: 3LAB

As I've said before, 3LAB is best known for producing products with the highest-grade of botanical ingredients and the highest percentages of anti-oxidant ingredients in the industry. I tested a regimen of 3LAB products last month and I must tell you that my skin is clear, soft, smooth and glowing! My regimen consisted of the Perfect Cleansing Scrub, WW Cream, WW Eye Cream, Perfect Repair and the Perfect Mask. The Perfect Cleansing Scrub served as both a cleanser and exfoliant because it contains fine jojoba beads. Normally I don't exfoliate everyday, but I found this cleanser gentle enough to use both morning and night. Once a week, I'd use my Clarisonic Skincare Brush along with this cleanser for a deeper exfoliation and I loved the results.

I found that the WW Eye Cream, which I used both in the morning and at night, both lifted and brightened my eye area. The WW Cream was exactly what my skin needed with the onset of fall. I found this rich cream to be very, very hydrating and perfect for both day and night use. The Perfect Repair is a serum that uses a two-cylinder bioconversion system to convert an inactive form of vitamin C to an active form. It has the highest concentration of vitamin C to be found in any product on the market and I used it at night on my face, neck and decollete under the WW Cream. Vitamin C is known to aid in cellular repair, brightening of the skin and hydration, and each morning I was happy to find that my skin looked refreshed and renewed.

There's definitely a tie for which product was my absolute favorite and it's between the Perfect Repair and the Perfect Mask. I'm a huge fan of non-setting masks and found this one to be perfect for my normal skin type (with an oily t-zone). I've learned that my skin loves hydration, along with concentrated vitamins and nutrients and the Perfect Mask is packed full of all of this and more! This mask is designed to lift, firm and brighten the skin and it did just that!

Have you tried 3LAB products?

Mischo Beauty Fashion Week Coverage: 3LAB Web Beauty Editor Tour #NYFW

As I've said before, 3LAB was founded by two chemists and a dermatologist and is best known for producing products with the highest-grade of botanical ingredients and the highest percentages of anti-oxidant ingredients in the industry. I'm currently testing a regimen of 3LAB products, so when I was invited to participate in an exclusive web beauty editor tour on the last day of Fashion Week, I was more than excited! We were given the opportunity to meet the creators of 3LAB, tour the Research & Development Laboratory and Manufacturing Facility, and a sneak peak at the latest product launches.

This was our stop in the Research & Development Laboratory where ingredients are tested and products are formulated by chemists before sending them out for clinical trials.

The H Serum was the first product developed in the 3LAB laboratory. It's an anti-aging serum that contains the growth hormone Nano-Claire GY which works to both repair and reverse the signs of aging.

This is part of the Manufacturing Facility were products are packaged and prepared for distribution.

You may remember my lesson on masks and know that there are both "setting" and "non-setting" masks. 3LAB recently launched the Perfect mask, which is a "non-setting" mask designed to lift, firm and brighten the skin.

A very special thanks to Stephanie (my Spelman sister) and the team at 3LAB for a great tour!

Mischo Beauty School: Skin Analysis 101

I've said this before and I'll probably say it a million more times, but I can't begin to name all the reasons why you should incorporate facials into your beauty routine! Not only are facials relaxing and pampering, but they are crucial to maintaining the health of your skin. In my opinion, and as a licensed esthetician, one of the most important steps in a facial treatment is the skin analysis. An esthetician can't properly treat you unless they know the following - which is only obtained through a proper skin analysis:

1. Skin type
2. Skin conditions present
3. Skin texture

The esthetician should use a magnifying lamp/light during the skin analysis in order to properly see your skin and perform detail work . A proper skin analysis will help the esthetician know what products and services should be performed and which are contraindicated. A contraindication is a factor or reason that makes it inadvisable to proceed with a treatment. They include certain medications, contagious diseases, skin disorders, medical conditions and skin irritation.

At the end of your facial service you should leave knowing what your skin conditions are and what you should use to improve your skin's health. You should now be knowledgeable enough to know how to properly select products for your skin type/issues.

Any questions? Love your skin.

P.S. I'm currently using a regimen of 3LAB skincare products and will post a review at the end of the month, so please stay tuned!

Mischo Beauty: 3LAB Fashion Week Survival Kit

Because my degree is in chemistry and one of my goals is to launch a product line of my own one day, I'm loving the fact that 3LAB was founded by two chemists and a dermatologist! 3LAB is best known for producing products with the highest-grade of botanical ingredients and the highest percentages of anti-oxidant ingredients in the industry. Wow!

So when 3LAB heard about my plans for Fashion Week (yes, I'm anxiously counting down!) they were so gracious enough to send me a 3LAB Fashion Week Survival Kit. It includes the Perfect Cleansing Scrub, Perfect Repair and the WW Eye Cream. I will post my full review in a few weeks, as I prefer to test skincare products for a minimum of 3-4 weeks (as most of you know) - so please be sure to check back! Until then, I will be taking advantage of all the beauty sleep I'm able to get, (skin cells repair themselves most when we're sleeping) because I'll need all the energy I can get in preparation for my upcoming Fashion Week adventure!
