Meet Nicole Sanchez: C.E.O of Vixxenn Luxury Hair
Nicole Sanchez Is Reinventing the Black Hair Industry
The black hair industry in America is big business, to the tune of $684 million. It's huge, and growing—market research firm Mintel estimates that number could reach $761 million by 2017— and Nicole Sanchez wants a cut of it (pun intended). So, earlier this year, Sanchez, a graduate of both Harvard University and Harvard Business School, launched Vixxenn, a luxury hair extensions company that partners with stylists to help them build their own businesses as hair extension distributors.
Sanchez's Vixxenn, aims to allow its partners to sell Vixxenn products to their clients without carrying inventory. This creates some cushion for fledgling salons, which means more of them can open, and customers can have more choices—so it's good for everyone all around—all because Sanchez was up to the challenge of creating a better system.

Ways To Treat Acne
Pretty much everyone who’s ever had a pimple is familiar with the two main acne-fighting ingredients: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. (If you have no idea what these things are then, congrats! You’re officially the luckiest girl ever!)
But while those anti-blemish ingredients might be the most well-known, they aren’t the only compounds that can de-bumpify your skin. We chatted with some savvy skin experts to learn more about five other compounds that can keep your face zit-free.
1. NiacinamideThis form of vitamin B can combat acne and rosacea, reduce redness, improve the texture of your skin, and reduce wrinkles, according to various studies. Try the new Super B Complex serum by ASAP Skin Products—it has niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which dermatologist Purvisha Patel says can combat the drying effects of acne treatments.
2. Shitake mushroom complexThis ingredient is a double-whammy because it has antioxidant properties, says dermatologist Dhaval G. Bhanusali, MD. It also helps stimulate epidermal skin cells and prevents collagen breakdown, which can really reduce acne-related scarring.
3. Retinyl palmitateA derivative of Retinol (which is a derivative of Retin-A), this compound helps exfoliate your skin and reduce the appearance of pores which, in turn, can reduce the appearance of blackheads, says Kasey D’Amato, co-founder of Airelle Skin. Have patience, she advises, as this treatment (and many others) may take a few weeks before you can appreciate the results.
4. CurcuminThis active form of turmeric has been used to treat a variety of skin issues on the eastern side of the world and it’s just now gaining popularity in the US, according to Bhanusali. Curcumin is a triple-threat: It’s a proven anti-bacterial (similar to benzoyl peroxide), anti-inflammatory (which can help difuse the red, painful bumps of acne) and collagen stimulator (to help with scars). Of all the new acne-fighters, he predicts that this will be the next big thing in skincare.
5. Flaxseed extractThis new natural ingredient is helpful for absorbing oil, as well as reducing the appearance of blemishes and shine, D’Amato says. Bonus: Products with this ingredient can make great makeup primers, too.
