"Tina Craig: From Bag Snob to Beauty Entrepreneur"

March 20, 2020

"Tina Craig: From Bag Snob to Beauty Entrepreneur"

If there are three things Tina Craig really knows it’s Birkins, business, and beauty. The entrepreneur was one of the first in the fashion blogging game when she launched Bag Snob with fellow handbag obsessive Kelly Cook in 2005. The site quickly grew to become a go-to resource for all things handbags, jewelry, accessories, and beauty. It was while she was immersed in this new influencer world, receiving the latest and greatest products from skincare and beauty brands for editorial consideration, that Craig realized there was a white space and set out to fill that void with her own brand, U Beauty. We caught up with Craig to hear more about her beauty routine, what makes her Resurfacing Compound better than all the rest, and what handbag she’d bring with her to a desert island... You’ve done a lot in the beauty and fashion industry since you started your blog, Bag Snob, in 2005. What made you want to start your latest venture, U Beauty? Since embarking on this adventure now fifteen years ago, I’ve been privy to so much evolution, from within the blogging world to the onset of Instagram to the skincare industry. As an influencer myself, I’ve also been privy to the latest and greatest in skincare. One of the perks of the job is receiving the best that skincare brands have to offer — and one of the downsides is suffering from major cosmetic confusion and fear of missing out on what’s new and groundbreaking, not to mention concern about the waste that comes with copious amounts of products and packaging. I grew tired of using 13-15 products daily, twice a day. Eventually, it became clear a white space was glaring at me. What was missing: One great science-based, results-oriented product that successfully replaces at least half of the products I used. Why did you decide to launch with just one product, the Resurfacing Compound? What sets it apart from other products? I was really interested in finding a great resurfacing product, but was having a hard time. Laser resurfacing wasn’t an appealing option for me, since the results are unpredictable for Asian skin and it can cause permanent changes in pigmentation. Usually, I require between six and eight products at different times throughout the day (like glycolic acid at night alternated retinol plus with AHA, along with vitamin C, enzymes and hyaluronic acid in multiple forms). It was confusing, exhausting and honestly, it didn’t even work well. And if I forgot to thoroughly rinse my face in the morning and the vitamin C came into contact with last night’s retinol, my face would explode in a fit of irritation. What does your beauty routine look like today? AM I start with a swipe of Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water on T-zone. I don’t wash my face when I wake up because my face is very clean when I go to bed. I use the Spa Water because it’s gentle and rinse-free, and I try to avoid tap water on my face whenever possible. Then I apply the U Beauty Resurfacing Compound to my T-zone. (If I’m traveling, my skin looks tired, or I’m in hot, humid weather, it goes all over my face.) Next, Augustinus Bader Rich Cream on my cheeks and neck only, followed by Clé de Peau Beauté Enhancing Eye Contour Cream Supreme. The sunscreen I use depends on the activity. For a regular day, Dr. Barbara Sturm Sun Drops with SPF 50 blend well with my daily treatment. If I’m at the beach, it’s Clé de Peau UV Protective Cream SPF 50+, which is a bit heavier, and if I’m skiing, I opt for Supergoop! Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion because it’s the only zinc sunscreen that glides on invisibly. Finally, when I reach for a tool, I go for the SiO Cryodrop. It's an innovative self-cooling roller made of medical-grade steel that de-puffs and feels cold without refrigeration! PM I do my serious cleansing at night, starting with Tula Oil Makeup-Removing Cleansing Oil, a makeup remover and cleanser in one, followed by iS Clinical Gel cleanser, which has subtle exfoliators to remove dead cells. While my skin is damp, I give it a quick roll with the ReFa CAXA roller to improve circulation and promote lymphatic drainage. As for other tools, I alternate these two every other day or so: the Dermaflash Ultrasonic blade removes blackheads and gently clears pores for a supreme clean and the TriPollar RF Stop X tool is an insane at-home RF gadget that tightens skin deep in the dermis layer. Finally, I treat my skin the way I do in the morning: I’ve cut down from 13 products to just three! The U Beauty Resurfacing Compound is my magic elixir, Augustinus Bader Rich Cream moisturizers and Clé de Peau Beauté Enhancing Eye Contour Cream Supreme takes care of the delicate eye area.

Picking one that will keep your skin dewy, not flaky, is key. If the latter sounds all too familiar, take one of these makeup artist–recommended foundations out for a spin.
