Leah's Story
Formulated in Hawaii by holistic skincare expert, licensed esthetician, and botanical alchemist Leah Klasovsky, Leahlani was created to infuse joy and inspiration into the practice of caring for your skin.
What’s the first thought each morning?
"Despite struggling with insomnia and often waking up at 3 AM, I've learned to embrace these early hours as a peaceful moment before the day begins. I start with a hot bath accompanied by a 10-minute meditation body scan, expressing gratitude to my body and clearing my mind. This routine helps me refocus and, if possible, I catch a few more hours of sleep before starting my day with a cup of coffee and diving into work."
Your motivation for launching Leahlani Skincare?
"As an esthetician, I was uninspired by the products available in my treatment room. I envisioned skincare that was not only effective but also a feast for the senses—vibrant, rich in fresh ingredients, with luxurious textures and incredible scents. My journey began with creating products for my own use, not realizing that one day, they would be cherished by customers worldwide."
What is your skin type?
"Currently, my skin is mostly oily, although I used to struggle with cystic acne, which has influenced my approach to skincare significantly."
What is your daily beauty regimen? Your weekly routine?
"Every morning and evening, I use Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil. In the mornings, I follow up with Aloha Ambrosia elixir and Citrus and Citrine Toner. My weekly routine includes exfoliating with Honey Love four times a week and applying Aqua A nightly. Depending on my skin's needs, I adjust my serums and masks, and for extra hydration, I finish with Mahina and Bless Balm."
Do you have a special beauty tip?
"One of the best tips I can offer is to incorporate cardiovascular exercise into your routine. It’s fantastic for your skin, helping to keep it clear, vibrant, and glowing. And, of course, drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining that healthy glow."
What do you always have in your bag?
"In my bag, you'll always find a small jar of Bless Balm—it's my go-to for everything from a quick moisturizer touch-up to a lip balm. I also carry our Citrus and Citrine Toner for a refreshing spritz on the go, and, of course, a water bottle to stay hydrated."
What are your Leahlani Skincare favorite products?
"My absolute favorite has to be the Pamplemousse Cleansing Oil because it leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished without stripping it. I’m also in love with the Aloha Ambrosia Elixir for its lightweight moisture and the radiant glow it gives my skin. And, of course, Aqua A. It has completely transformed my skin and helped to fade pigmentation and truly brightens the complexion like no other."
Can you tell us about your diet and supplements routine?
"I believe in maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Born and raised as a vegetarian, I didn't start eating eggs or seafood until I moved to Hawaii 22 years ago, and I've still never eaten meat. However, I enjoy local fish and ensure my diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, and ample protein. Hydration is crucial, especially given my daily workouts and the tropical climate, so I drink at least half a gallon of water each day. To boost my energy levels, I've recently started taking B12 injections once or twice a week, which have significantly helped. But balance is key, so I never shy away from indulging in a dessert or enjoying a good bourbon on the rocks when the mood strikes."
What is the future for Leahlani Skincare? What is your next product?
"At Leahlani Skincare, our future is firmly rooted in innovation, harmoniously blended with our commitment to natural and effective skincare. It typically takes 2-3 years to launch a new product, ensuring every item we introduce meets our high standards. We are thrilled to announce that several new products are set to release within the next year—we can't wait to share them with you! Additionally, we are planning to expand our Spa program, introducing more exclusive products specifically designed for use in professional treatment rooms. The journey ahead is bright, and we're excited to enhance your skincare experience with our upcoming innovations."
And now the last question, your secret dream?
"I have so many. We plan on launching our Podcast soon, as well as hosting exclusive events. Of course, one day, It would be a dream to have a spa on Kaua'i and to be able to spend time in the treatment room again... one day".
Abundant aloha
