Through her experience, Kuehl realized the importance of offering a chemical-free option with a holistic viewpoint to clients and helping them learn about the connection between what they put in and on their bodies and their health. It inspired her mission to create a different way to achieve beauty, a way that doesn’t abide by the industry’s unspoken “beauty at any cost” mantra.
This subject may not be a favorite or one shared at the kitchen table, but my mission in "Informed Beauty" is to share with you any information I can gather that can give you a better, longer, and healthier life.
Constipation prevents waste from moving through the colon easily, which causes it to remain in the colon too long. If this happens often, or is a way of life, it can cause some serious health problems - and beauty problems, as well. To be blunt, this is decaying fecal matter and toxins in your intestines that can easily contribute to many diseases. It is vital to expel fecal matter as quickly as possible. Constipation also inhibits the flow and absorption of vital nutrients in the body.
Bad colon bacteria produce toxic secretions that act as poison throughout the entire body. When fecal matter in the colon is not eliminated for days, the colon becomes toxic - this toxicity then spreads to cells throughout the body. The toxicity in the blood stream from this decaying waste also interferes with the delivery of oxygen to all the cells and tissue in the entire body, depriving them of necessary oxygen for good health. Also, straining to have a movement can damage the tissue of the lower colon and the blood vessels in the legs.
Aging Starts in the Colon Aging of the skin can start in the colon. An unhealthy colon can cause blemishes, rashes, poor skin tone, even wrinkles, and leads to premature aging of the skin. The hair can also be affected, slowing growth and becoming dry and dull.
Constipation is a symptom you cannot ignore, even if it occurs once in a while, since it will lead to slow poisoning of the entire body. Regularity is very important. Don't wait for a disease to "happen" to show that you are ill... take the bull by the horns, and don't let constipation become a reoccurring condition.
"A colon health diet should begin with a daily intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, quality protein, plenty of water, and exercise."

We love aloe's ability to be a soothing agent in our shampoo, conditioner, leave-on's, moisturisers, and serums.
The structure and chemistry of Aloe shows us why this plant is such a good moisturising agent – it’s the polysaccharides or sugars that are most dominate predominate. These sugars are hygroscopic (water-loving. When paired with a sugar structure, they are both substantive and moisturising to the skin. Some chemists say aloe contributes a ‘the raincoat effect’ i.e: You put on a raincoat in a storm and you stay warm and dry, a warm and dry body is less likely to catch a cold and so you stay well. The" raincoat" protects and preserves what you have already. Essentially aloes moisture protects and preserves the skin so that it can remain (or return to) optimum condition.
Aloe vera has been heralded as a treatment for hair loss, due to many of the vitamins and minerals found within the plant mimicking the chemistry of the human body. In addition, chemicalscan hasten hair loss, so eliminating hair products with harmful ingredients will allow damaged hair follicles to heal. For an at-home treatment, pour a small amount of an herbal shampoo into a bowl and add two times the amount of aloe vera gel (for best results, use a 100 percent stabilized aloe vera gel vs. the actual aloe vera plant.)
In addition to halting hair loss, aloe vera is believed to promote the growth of new hair. Aloe vera balances PH levels and stimulates scalp enzymes, which in turn prompts hair growth. To gain this benefit, massage aloe vera into the scalp and leave in for 30 minutes before rinsing. Over time, the scalp will shed the dead hair follicles and new hair follicles will grow in their place.
People who suffer from dandruff, which is characterized by a flaky, itchy scalp, should consider aloe vera for relief. Causes of dandruff include stress, diets high in sugar and low in fats, excessive blow drying and shampooing hair in hot water. Aloe vera gel straight from the leaves of the plant can be rubbed on the scalp, left in overnight and shampooed out the following morning.

Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its structure. It also gives skin its appearance of smoothness and youth. Collagen works like netting that holds skin cells together. Collagen is continually produced in the body, but as we get older that production begins to slow down. As production slows and the collagen net begins to break down, the skin is one of the first areas we notice it in, with wrinkles and other signs of aging. There are steps we can take, however, to prevent collagen breakdown and to help the body rebuild new collagen.

Forms of Vitamin A Vitamin A is the skin’s most important fat-soluble nutrient. It is referred to as a skin cell normalizer. This means that Vitamin A can stimulate cell growth for healing and anti-aging effects OR slow down cell growth to improve skin conditions like acne or psoriasis.

The immune stimulating properties are well documented, and it helps improve dermal blood supply and may help improve skin pigmentation.

Importance of skin stimulation – Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids stimulate and exfoliate the skin. This process encourages fresh layers to the surface and enhances skin tissue growth.

Living in an abundant market of "beauty solutions," we are given many options of how to slow down the aging process. Kasia Salon believes in a lifestyle that includes wearing sunscreen religiously, eating lots of veggies, drinking a ton of water, using effective Kasia skin care products and sticking to a beauty daily regiment. But the hard truth is, we will age. So, if you’re like most women who don’t want to dish out tons of cash getting cosmetic surgery, your next best option is to WORK WITH IT!
However, if you're not careful with your application, makeup can actually make you look even older.
LA BELLA DONNA MINERALS:
Kassandra, owner of Kasia Organic Salon says, "Feeling good in your makeup and the correct application is key. You've got to make sure you have the right products and know-how so your makeup works for you and not against you. We love La Bella Donna's full mineral line with only 4 ingredients, an feels weightless on the skin.” The finished product on your skin will feel hydrating and does not wear off the skin. It's the best makeup line on the market. Other minerals have fillers that sink into the lines and feel "cake-y" on the skin.
La Bella offers acolour collection of excitement and beaute, offering newness and options for women to build upon their existing makeup wardrobe.
1. Always use an eye cream first. “No eye makeup or concealer will go on the eye area effectively if they are not properly moisturized. OnCure eye cream will "anti-age" you as you apply it -- daily.
Brighter:
Firmer:
Smoother:
2. Choose the right color for concealer. Make sure you do not choose concealer that is too light or too dark. The best shade for the under eye area is one shade lighter than your skin tone. Only apply to the inner corner of the eye and all the way around, reaching up to the brow bone to create a consistent skin tone.
3. Overly made-up skin is a one-way ticket to looking a lot older than you actually are! Using luminescent products make your skin look dewy and light. We LOVE "Candlelight" from La Bella for this.
4. When choosing the right eye shadow, select natural colors that blend with your skin and hair tones to create youthful looking eyes. Don't forget to pull in color to your eyebrows! This is like an instant and free face lift! The more dramatic the look, the more attention it will draw.
5. An eyelash curler, shimmering shadow, mascara, and brow powder can turn back the clock—at least temporarily. "Curling your eyelashes and adding a little glimmery shadow as a highlighter are the easiest things you can do to make your eyes look bigger—and therefore younger.
Ladies, feel free to put down the face creams for a quick second. We have another age-defying secret that might have you running to your hairstylist once we’re finished here! Sure – moisturizing, exfoliating, masques, toners, etc. all have the power to work wonders when it comes to turning back the clock, but they can only go so far. No matter how old you are and how much attention you’ve given your skin, if you have the wrong haircut, it can age you years. With that being said, having the right cut and style can erase those years significantly.
1. Bobs. This hairstyle has major benefits in regards to keeping you looking fresh-faced. The Bobs these leading ladies are rocking are edgy and sassy, and most importantly, youthful. Cuts from your shoulders up have lifting effects and work great with your bone structure, ensuring a more youthful look.
2. Layers. Face-framing layers soften up your facial features and reduce the appearance of fine lines. They also give your hair a lot of movement which subtracts the years. Jennifer Aniston is the perfect spokeswoman for layers! She has proven the “Anti-Aging Layer Theory” to be true for years and still looks unbelievably stunning! For more on layers, we have the complete “low down”. Aniston included!
3. Bangs. Long and sweepy bangs can help hide Crows Feet around the eyes. The style should be long and piecey across the forehead and brush the outer corners of the eyes, which can mask the wrinkles. Also, eyebrow skimming bangs mask forehead wrinkles and play up the eyes.
Reese opts for the eyebrow skimming bangs to hide forehead wrinkles, while Rebecca Romijn goes for the sweepy bang to mask Crow’s Feet.
4. Highlights. Warm highlights around the face bring out the radiance of your skin tone and make it glow. It creates luminosity and gives off the illusion of lift. However, be cautious of the contrast between your skin and hair color. If your hair color is too dark, it can accentuate every line and wrinkle. If your hair color is too light and ashy, it can wash you out, aging you even more. A good warm/caramely hue will brighten up your appearance, and mask any damage that time has done on your locks.
Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts look radiant with warm, golden highlights.
5. Loose updos. Need a chic updo for a work event or night out on the town? Might want to skip out on the slicked-back, polished look and trade it in for a loose, messy updo. Slicking all of your hair back is a harsh option if you’re trying to disguise the fine lines. It puts all of your wrinkles on full display. Instead, let the strands hang down and try a loose, piecey updo for a sexy and more relaxed look. It makes you appear much younger! (To take your updo to the next level, we’ve got the best earring choices to compliment them!)
Hair Icon, Heidi Klum is proof that a more relaxed updo can make the years dissapear!
6. Shine. Shiny locks make your hair look nourished and healthy, making YOU look youthful. As we age, our hair loses its lustre. But worry not! You can easily wake your tired strands from hibernation with a great shining serum. We love the Kasia Restore Hair Oil. It envelopes your hair in a gorgeous, shine while simultaneously protecting it from heat damage.
7. Soft curls. Similar to layers, the softness of curls can even out the appearance of lines or wrinkles on the face. It also gives your hair a natural, youthful bounce and movement. Take cue from Julianne Moore, who could very easily be mistaken for Lindsay Lohan (circa 2004) in this picture. That’s over half her age, you guys! Not to mention her warm hair color compliments her skin perfectly, which shaves more years off. Need we say “Moore”?
With these tips, you now have even more ammo in your arsenal to combat aging! Now what are you waiting for?! CHOP to it!
