For May’s Global Beauty Look-book, we’re putting the spotlight on global luxury brand Rodial. Founded by former beauty editor Maria Hatzistefanis, this global brand is loved by many celebs worldwide (including Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian) and brings trendy ingredients, inspired by cultural trends, to the forefront of the skincare market. Housed in stylish packaging, this is THE brand for targeted treatments that have instant results and long-lasting benefits.
Join us as we follow Rodial around the world to discover the brand’s journey to becoming a ground-breaking global beauty icon…
GREECE, EUROPE
Let’s begin on the sunny Greek island of Lesbos. This was where Maria grew up and where Maria first discovered her taste for fashion and beauty. It’s been said that as a teenager, Maria would treat friends to makeovers and would uncover some of the top skincare secrets from magazines. It was in Greece that Maria graduated from Athens University with a degree in English literature.
NEW YORK, USA
After graduating university and following a stint as a part-time beauty writer for Seventeen magazine, Maria headed to New York to study an MBA at Columbia Business School. Starting her career in corporate finance, it wasn’t long before she began to check out and her burning passion for beauty started to re-emerge. Maria left New York for London to set up her own business, not yet knowing the severity of what it was to become.
LONDON, UK
Spotting a gap in the market for a skincare range that would offer targeted treatments, it was in London where she followed her passion and instinct for beauty, founding Rodial in 1999. Maria endeavoured to offer viable alternatives to plastic surgery for specific problems and there was nothing like that at the time, thus spotting the perfect gap in the market. The brand is continually daring with its technology, branding and ingredients and has gone on to be stocked around the world in 25 countries and 2,000 luxury department stores including Saks Fifth Avenue, Space NK, Harvey Nichols and Harrods. Rodial sits alongside its sister brand Nip+Fab.
KOREA, ASIA
Rodial has developed innovative products inspired by trends across the globe, like this month’s Vit C Energising Sheet Mask Haul of Fame. An innovation in skincare science, this Korean bio-cellulose mask is the ultimate luxury treatment to reveal glowing, youthful looking skin while combating the key signs of ageing such as fine lines.
GET TO KNOW VIT C
With this month’s Vit C Energising Face Mask, you may be wondering what the actual benefits of vitamin C are.
Vitamin C plays an essential role in ANY skincare routine; it’s one of the most research-proven ingredients that has nothing but positive effects on your skin. It’s a water-soluble antioxidant that’s become THE solution to many skin woes. Younger skin traps vitamin C in the epidermis and dermis, but as we age, these levels naturally deplete. If your skin is looking and feeling dull, uneven and not as bouncy, vitamin C is the answer. Vitamin C’s powers in skincare are vast; it helps to even out skin tone, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and delivers coveted skin-brightening benefits. Better yet, vitamin C shields skin from well-known environmental stressors like free radicals, pollution and UV damage.
What we love about Rodial’s sheet mask is that it delivers this wonder active in one targeted treatment solution, ultimately brightening, tightening and toning in one hit.
