“Dear Astara, I have been using two of your products (Activated Antioxidant Infusion and Antioxidant Rich Moisturizer) together faithfully for seven years now. I credit them for helping me appear fully ten to fifteen years younger than I am, judging from comments from much younger women. Even my dermatologist was impressed.

I can actually see the difference if I stop using your products, because I do run out occasionally. But I have learned that there are no valid substitutes - not even here in France where I live! Thank you so much for these excellent products that go a long way to taking the sting out of ageing!"

Cordially,
Constance Konold

“Thank you again for the products! I recommended the following two products to Elle Magazine's Beauty Editor for their Best of 2006 Organic/Natural Skin Care Issue! This article will be featured in Elle's first annual Green Issue (May 2007) I rated Astara as follows: 

Best Face Mask:
Astara's Golden Flame
One of the best masks ever created! Aloe Vera Gel and Cucumber Extract are excellent to bring down puffiness and Sodium Hyaluronate is a wonderful humectant! 

Astara's Blue Flame 
Why: Great for blemishes. I love the smell! 

Red Zoe – esthetician NYC

“I have been using your products for the past few days and I must say I can truly feel a difference.  I may not look any different yet, but I sure do have smmoooooth skin!  And I don't smell too bad either!!”

Penelope Valentine, by email

“We all love the masks and the Activated Antioxidant Infusion.”

Nicole Mandell, Director of Sales, Bliss Out   NYC

“Out of all the skin care lines we have tried and sampled since we opened our store, the Astara line received the most consistent compliments from our cast!! Everybody loved the products, especially the Scrub and all the masks.”

Heather Johnson, Sephora University Village, Seattle, WA

“Just thought I’d drop you a note to let you know how much I like your new facial oils. I have used the Sensitive and Mature skin formulas and I see no real difference between them and Decleor’s – though yours are a third of the price. You go! I think that’s a great bargain. Keep up the good work.”

Niall Lynch , Chicago, IL

“You saved me! In this 16 degree weather, Astara is the only thing that gets this poor, dry skin by – and I notice a big difference with the essential oils. I don’t know what I did before Astara. Thank you so much.”

Dalma Heyn, Beauty Writer - NYC

“I have recently started to use your products, the most recent purchase being the Antioxidant Infusion. I also have a cat from a shelter, who came to live with me with a chronic skin condition. The Infusion made my skin, if not look differently, feel so good from the inside out. I thought why not try some on Elsa the Cat. She can sleep through the night without waking up to gnaw her little sore skin. While it may be a very expensive lotion to place on a cat, when mitigated with the cost of a dermatological veterinarian visit and their lotions, I and she are very happy. Thank you.”

“I truly think your Sea Mineral Mask is MAGIC!! I have been using the moisturizers and Antioxident Infusion on myself and it’s very caring as I have extremely sensitive skin.”

C.G., Celebrity Make-up Artist - NYC

“I am so impressed with the Astara products. We began using them less than a year ago at the Spa where I work. I am seeing fabulous results!”

Suzi Veerhoff, by email

“I am in love with the Astara products and find it to be the most amazing skincare line. I have found no other products that work as effectively. I have combination skin. My favorite is the Daily Refining Scrub and the Golden Flame Mask (since I travel so much my skin gets so dehydrated). I would love to try more of the products as well as the ones I have already grown to love!!!”

Yoanna House, Model - NYC

“I have to relay to you the buzz over the Botanical Eye Treatment here in the Call Center. We love it! Daily I have co-workers coming to my desk to tell me how much they love the Botanical Eye Treatment and what great results they are seeing.

I have used many doctor brand eye treatments with all the technology they can squeeze in a bottle and have seen fine results, but with the Astara Botanical Eye Treatment my eyes have never looked better. I can apply it at night and find no puffiness or darkness in the morning! I have never used an eye treatment that works all night long.”

Dennis Griffin, Sephora.com Beauty Advisor

“Astara is my favorite line bar none. Your lovely energy is so evident in your product, that everyone I tell tries it and is hooked. Thanks.”

EL.R., Actress - Brentwood, CA

“Can I just tell you how FABULOUS the Astara line is!! I’ve been playing and loving it. I especially love the Scrub and the Masks. Love the Hydration, Purifying and Mineral ones.”

Joan Almaguer-Brown, Chicago, IL

“I am still loving the effects of many Astara facials of all types on my skin. As a mid-forties mother, my skin seems to benefit from every one of the products. Hormonal breakouts are gone, hydration is fabulous, skin color is luminescent. Thank you – you are the goddess of skin.”

Becca Hensley, Austin, TX

“I have tried your products and find them all absolutely fantastic. With my mid-forties skin, I seem to go from dry to broken out to oily to wrinkled, all in the course of a day. These products (and I am very holistically inclined) really make me feel balance; I can tell they work and make a difference. Bravo to you for creating a really fabulous product.”

By email

“I am a huge fan of your line. When I use your products regularly I really feel and see a major difference. I truly can feel the products have an energy of their own and when they are a part of my daily practice they really help me on my path of good health and well being. Thank you for creating such amazing products!”

Melanie McCloskey, Portland, OR

“I received my products last week and I used the mask and cleanser 3 times. I am amazed at how much better my skin looks! My face has cleared up completely! I used it as a dot treatment over night and it dried up 3 zits completely!!"
