ABOUT SAGE BEAUTE

Beauty + Wisdom

​​​

Born of the philosophy that beauty requires wisdom, Sage Beauté (French for Wise Beauty) promotes empowerment through knowledge: knowledge of safe cosmetics and hygiene products, and knowledge of the ways that beauty - as a social construct - affects us on both individual and cultural levels.


Beauty is complex and multi-faceted, and about much more than tools and application techniques. Sage Beauté emphasizes the importance of a long-view, historical perspective on beauty, because while external beauty trends change over time, their intent - to highlight beauty within - is uniform across the ages.


​To that end, Sage Beauté embraces beauty through wisdom: knowledge and understanding of cosmetics' ingredients and how they affect our health, yes, but also intellectual curiosity regarding beauty itself. We strive to promote a vision of both beauty that is accessible for persons from all walks of life for wisdom - like beauty - is not bound by class, race, gender, or other identifier.


I first learned about FITGLOW BEAUTY when searching for an organic, liquid foundation. There are many mineral and cream formulations on the market, but healthy foundations in liquid form are harder to come by when desiring products that offer medium to full coverage. After reading numerous (glowing) reviews of their Vita-Active Foundation, I decided that it would be my next purchase.


I was pleasantly surprised when the foundation came wrapped in a FITGLOW tote bag and with three other sample products (pictured above and discussed below), especially because FITGLOW products are not inexpensive. However, after sampling a number of their products, I assure you that the quality of the brand, and the quantity of product in each container (cosmetic or intended for skincare), makes any purchase from this company more than worth the investment.


The Vita-Active Foundation comes in many shades that range from very fair to deep, although the choices for darker complexions are unfortunately limited.


I absolutely adore this foundation though, so if there is a shade for you, I highly ​recommend it.The pump-action container it comes in well-designed, preventing product from going to waste and ensuring that unused foundation is never exposed to air.


Initially the foundation's consistency seems thick, but it can be easily smoothed out - with

fingers or a foundation brush - for coverage that can be as sheer or heavy as desired, all without ever appearing caked-on or thick. ​



Bliss Oil



I am genuinely blown away by the quality of this product. I hope I am not going overboard by calling it a panacea, but it heals so many skin woes that it can be used by everybody and anybody.


I've used it to combat dryness, sooth irritated skin, combat acne, heal blemishes and hyper pigmentation, decrease fine lines and wrinkles, and it really does do it all.


I now use the Bliss Oil all over my face at night, and it has markedly improve my skin's texture and evenness. The formula absorbs quickly and only a few drops are needed, making it a product that will last for a very long time.


Calm Cleansing Milk



This is a lovely cleansing milk that offers nourishment and hydration while still leaving the skin feeling clean and refreshed. For those who prefer cleansing milks to oils and foaming cleansers, this formulation is a gentle option that doesn’t compromise an ability to cleanse for gentleness.


Although there are those who avoid cleansing milks (under the assumption that they are too gentle for oily and acne-prone skin) this cleanser can - and will - change minds.





Microscrub



This Microscrub was another unexpected surprise, but one that I have really enjoyed. It is available as part of the Weekend Reset Kit from FITGLOW, and is recommended to be used prior to their Renew Mask (a two-part system).


Only a very small amount of the scrub is needed to provide a deep clean. Be sure not to rub this product too hard against your skin, as its ultra-fine consistency has the potential to be abrasive if used aggressively. It does an excellent job removing dead skin cells and, when rinsed off, leaves your skin with a fine, glowing sheen.


I put FITGLOW's Microscrub to the test by using it to cleanse before applying a clay mask. I think it indeed made a significant difference in the mask’s ability to penetrate the pores deeply, the purpose for which it is marketed.
