Called the “Queen of Burlesque,” Dita Von Teese is known around the world for her show-stopping performances. With classic Old Hollywood features, she’s instantly recognizable by her red lips, sharp cat-eye liner and porcelain skin. It’s no wonder RuPaul called her “the last word in glamour.” We’re pleased that Dita trusts Eminence Organics to keep her skin looking its best on and off stage.
Dita Von Teese’s Skin Care Secrets
1. Eminence Organics Facials
Before a sold-out show in Vancouver, Dita stopped by the Eminence Organics offices for a personalized facial. Company President Boldijarre Koronczay used some of her favorite products, including Apricot Calendula Nourishing Cream, to give her skin a flawless finish. Dita loves this award-winning moisturizer, made with Biodynamic® ingredients like apricot, echinacea and aloe. She looked radiant during the performance and even shared a backstage moment on her Instagram story.
2. Follow Basic Beauty Rules
Dita keeps her routine simple and sensible. She told Cosmopolitan: “I never go to bed without washing my face, I always wear sunscreen; I wear a hat whenever I’m out in the sun a lot. I don’t smoke cigarettes, I drink water, and I eat well.” Now 44 and still glowing, she emphasizes the importance of a good facial moisturizer. In her book Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide To Eccentric Glamour, she names Linden Calendula Treatment as a go-to for her dry, sensitive skin: “The Linden Calendula Treatment Cream gives my dry and sensitive skin the moisture it craves, and it gives my senses the experience of pure luxury and indulgence that I love. I can’t live without this cream in my life!”
3. Use Natural Skin Care
Backstage at John Paul Gaultier’s Spring/Summer 2014 Haute Couture show, Dita explained how she preps her skin: “First, cleanse. I’m really into natural skin care now and I’ve been using a lot of Eminence products. I’ve tried (and loved!) many fancy, expensive creams and serums, but I’m getting great results from the natural Eminence line. It makes me feel good to be using fewer (possibly toxic) products!” One favorite is Stone Crop Gel Wash—she told Vogue it has “such an interesting, slick texture and it’s all-natural, so you can use it on your eyes and everything.”
4. Keep It Simple
Despite her glamorous image, Dita doesn’t spend hours getting ready. In Vogue she said, “I rarely spend more than 20 minutes on beauty when I’m not going onstage or on a red carpet. My look seems high-maintenance, and maybe it is for some people, but it’s been my everyday routine for over 20 years, so I can do it quickly and easily—which is why I rarely like a glam squad.” As Guest Editor of Lifestyle Mirror, she recommended products that deliver “a lot of glamour with only a little effort.” At the top of her list was Eminence Organics Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer, which she calls the perfect daytime base. Infused with coconut, shea butter and grape seed oil, this award-winning cream helps firm and smooth the skin for a lifted look.
