April gives us an opportunity to lean into that signature springtime energy and shift our focus toward the ultimate glow-up - the best kind, the one that starts deep within and radiates outward. From nurturing your health and mindset to mastering the art of clean beauty, it’s time to shed the winter layers and refresh your routine. I’ve gathered my favorite tips and rituals to help you feel bright, beautiful, and completely revitalized.

Skincare: how to get that Red Carpet Radiance

Did you catch Dree Hemingway glowing at the recent Academy Awards? For the Vanity Fair Oscar party, makeup artist Sophie Haig followed a singular philosophy for Dree: skin first, everything else second. 

We started the day with a full @agentnateur ritual, using acid (wash) to refine pores and holi (bright) to firm and depuff. To keep the nerves steady, we sipped calm (beauty) for that essential nervous system support.

The Night-Of Prep:

• holi (lift) serum + holi (oil) for that signature glass-skin base.
• holi (bright) mask for an instant snatch.
• body (balm) for a long-lasting, red-carpet sheen on the limbs.

The at-home facial skincare device: I love my ZIIP Halo 2.0 - it really does supercharge my glow. The advanced technology mimics your skin’s natural electrical currents, so it actually transforms your look on a cellular level by lifting, tightening and brightening. The results speak for themselves - 97% of users say they saw immediate lifting and firming.

This is not a one-tricky pony. You can choose different programs -  for example focus on lymphatic drainage, or jowls or instant face lift. You can even select the 4-Minute Facial to give your skin an all-round boost in no time. 

To work effectively, though, these devices need a microcurrent gel, so I use holi (lift) ageless lifting and firming serum with mine. It acts as a conductor, allowing the waveforms to penetrate my skin, and prevents any uncomfortable dragging or electrical stings. The blend of rosehip oil, Japanese rice bran, red seaweed, vitamins C and E, aloe and cucumber support collagen, strengthen the skin barrier, and defend against environmental stressors. Star ingredient calcium ketogluconate, a French patented molecule, helps to restore elasticity and improve firmness.

The laser treatments I swear by:

• Laser Genesis (Cutera) - a favorite since 2014! This tightens, refines pores, reduces redness, treats capillaries and angiomas, and burns off fine facial hair for ultra smooth skin. Pain level is a 1-2.

• Titan (Cutera) - this is superb for deep, long-term collagen stimulation and the best tightening laser I’ve ever done. I have been getting this treatment every eight months since 2020 and it gives me real, long-term results. Pain level is a 6 but it’s worth it!

The eye mask: For an under-eye fix on a busy morning, or to prep before an event, I love these rose extract Hydra-Calm eye masks from Vanessa Hernandez. They’re infused with a potent blend of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanical nutrients and feel like they melt into your skin as they hydrate and renew, leaving you looking rested and luminous. I even wear mine when I’m walking the boys!  

The non-toxic nail polish: I love that Cote Beauty has created a non-toxic nail polish. It’s vegan and cruelty-free and is formulated without toxins, so they’ve come up with a nourishing formula for healthy and beautiful nails. Kudos to this brand for planting a tree for every order, and you can even send back your empty nail polish bottles (from any brand) for recycling. And when you need to take off the color, they also have a non-toxic, acetone-free nail polish remover.

The blush: round off your glowy look with this Baby Cheeks Blush Stick from Westman Atelier. Gorgeous to look at and a dream to use - you get a healthy flush of color in just one swipe. It’s so creamy and perfect for layering over foundation or powder. Works a dream on lips too! 

The spring agent icons: we’ve done it again! In spring pastel shades, choose from soft lilac or light blue, and grab yourself a bag of $290 worth of skin-brightening essentials for just $174. Our travel-ready collection pairs brightening, plumping and deeply-hydrating formulas to give you luminous skin - any time, anywhere. Here’s what you get: 

• holi (cleanse) deluxe: a silky oil cleanser that melts away makeup, SPF, and impurities without stripping the skin

• holi (lift) deluxe: a serum-strength treatment that tones and firms with clinical peptides and lactic acid

• holi (glow) full size: a best-selling eye slip hydrator for plump, radiant and deeply-nourished skin

• stainless steel gua sha: designed to lift, de-puff and sculpt with ease

• exclusive satin Agent Nateur handbag

The healthy deodorant: Stay fresh and smell divine with our all-natural, aluminum-free luxury natural deodorant collection. Launched last springtime and based on the original holi (stick) which was my first ever Agent product, this was one of my favorite personal projects because I chose each scent to remind me of a favorite place or time in my life.

Cap d’Antibes 

A scent that captures the sun-drenched feel of the French Riviera, swimming at Hotel du Cap, skin kissed by the ocean, cocooned in coconut-scented suntan oil. A sensual blend of sun-warmed coconut skin, ripe cherries, and delicate roses.

Notes: Passion Fruit, Coconut, Mint, Peach, Cherry, Rose

Saint Honoré Roses 

A love letter to Paris. The memory of picking up roses while strolling along Rue Saint-Honoré, deep, musky, and woodsy, where the elegance of rose meets the warmth of vanilla, and patchouli.

Notes: Rose, Orange Blossom, Neroli, Amber, Caramel, Helichrysum, Saffron, Patchouli

Ambroxan Cloud

An obsession born in Grasse - the moment I discovered ambroxan, I was addicted. It reminds me of the freshest spring morning, the crispness of a sun-dried cotton shirt swaying in the breeze of a jasmine-filled field. Clean, airy, sensual.

Notes: Natural Ambroxan, Jasmine, Amber, Apple, Pear, Grape

8233 Blackburn

The birthplace of Agent Nateur. My old West Hollywood address, where I spent countless hours blending oils into something evocative and unisex, embodying masculine and feminine -  sensual, woodsy oils and soft, creamy tonka bean.

Notes: Incense, Vetiver, Moss, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Patchouli, Iris, Rose

Tarte Tropézienne

Delicious, decadent, and completely addictive, inspired by my favorite dessert, Tarte Tropézienne - think golden pastry dusted with sugar, orange blossom, kissed by ripe raspberries and layered with vanilla and coconut cream. 

Notes: Vanilla, Orange Blossom, Coconut, Sugar, Raspberry, Apricot, and Lemon

What constitutes natural?

While many ‘natural’ deodorants still contain harmful synthetic fragrances and hidden toxins, holi (stick) is truly clean. It’s aluminum-free and crafted for all-day freshness. I formulated with plant oils, butters and beeswax to nourish the skin while protecting its microbiome.

Here’s why we should avoid aluminum in deodorants:

• It’s a metal that’s toxic to humans in large doses

• Aluminum compounds block sweat glands - and that inhibits one of the body’s most natural and needed functions. Sweating helps us to regulate our body temperature and to flush out toxins. It’s the odor that we need to banish!

• Hormone disruption - aluminum compounds can mimic estrogen and cause hormonal imbalances

• Potential neurological concerns - potential links between aluminum exposure and neurodegenerative diseases have raised questions about its long term effect on brain health

The sunscreen: Now that the days are longer and the temperature’s higher - and we’ve had some scorching days in LA these last few weeks -  it’s time to incorporate sunscreen into our face prep. holi (sun) SPF 50 tinted skin drops are the perfect skincare solution - a mineral sunscreen serum that provides broad-spectrum protection, moisturization, and a light-coverage glow. I created this product because I was so tired of heavy, chalky sunscreens and it includes a non-nano zinc to block sun damage while simultaneously hydrating the skin. One step to protect, nourish, and perfect your complexion.

We may have survived those winter months but it’s really important to keep taking supplements to build on the benefits.

For a total beauty reset, holi (mane) is my non-negotiable. Our premium marine collagen and pearl powder is designed to strengthen hair and nails, and support gut health with every serving. On sunnier spring mornings, I make an iced matcha with mine - I add it to the milk and matcha powder and just make it on the cold setting of my milk frother. I also add maple syrup and cinnamon - sometimes a tiny dash of salt and pour over ice.

Go a step further and add a scoop of holi (radiance) for even more impact. I created this blend of MSM and French patented ceramosides that can be mixed into coffee, lemon water, juice, or smoothies (and yes iced matchas too!) because collagen peptides, especially when combined with MSM, offer real and measurable benefits. So when you take it alongside holi (mane), the synergy amplifies the results for your skin, hair, and nails. Benefits include:

• Detox Deep-Dive: Supports your body’s natural filtering systems for a clearer, more vibrant you.

• The Master Antioxidant: Ignites glutathione production to help your cells defend against daily stressors.

• Total Gut Love: Strengthens your intestinal lining to support a resilient, happy gut.

• The Ultimate Glow: Floods your skin with deep hydration for a dewy, luminous finish.

• Beauty from Within: Fortifies hair and nails, leaving them noticeably stronger and more resilient.

• Active Recovery: Mends connective tissue and supports your body’s bounce-back after a workout.

The personalized supplement program: I struggled with my hormones for years, especially with low progesterone, skipped cycles, poor sleep and I felt completely off. Working with Dr Ivan Rusko, who’s based in FL, has made a huge difference. He put me on progesterone that’s working incredibly well. I’m finally sleeping deeply again like a baby, and my cycles are starting to normalize.

If that wasn’t enough, I’ve also had some gut and inflammation issues - so he’s created a treatment plan that is just amazing. It includes prescription KPV, Candida support, a custom NAC blend that he formulated for me, along with 5-amino and NAD shots throughout the week, plus low-dose naltrexone. It may sound like a lot but for the first time in a long time, I feel like myself again. I’m not saying this will work for everyone but I would say that getting comprehensive diagnostic tests that show exactly what your body needs is worth the investment in the long run.

Practising financial discipline: this is something we often avoid, delay, schedule then reschedule, or think we don’t have time for. But believe me when I say this will change how you view, manage and control your personal wealth. We recently shared our interview with Credit Queen Angela Bessard, on why Financial Wellness Is the Real Self-Care - read it to find out more about wealth-building tools, how to spend with intention, save with purpose, and think from a place of abundance as tax season approaches. Put this on your April To Do List!

The sneaker: how adorable are these baby blue Plume Satin sneakers from Miu Miu? Ultralight with a cute ballerina vibe, and super comfy, they’re a fabulous switch-up for your spring footwear collection.

The track jacket: for a sporty, lightweight springtime jacket, I’m loving this pastel Prada Lightweight Re-Nylon hooded raincoat. Perfect for taking my boys for a walk when there’s a chance of an April shower!

The Water Bottle: This Day Bottle Flip Cap from Bink in Artichoke (Lilac) is not just gorgeous to look at and hold, it helps you track your hydration throughout the day to ensure you get the water intake your body and brain need. Added bonus - it’s 100% leak-proof, dishwasher safe and the materials Bink uses ensure that it is BPA, lead, cadmium, and phthalate free. 

The Power of Flowers: I really believe that flowers should belong in our wellness routines. From spring bulbs to cut flowers, treating ourselves at this time of year is such a positive gesture. They look gorgeous, of course, and if you’re into fragrances you can choose varieties that have their own signature - like stocks, hyacinths, mimosa, roses. 

But treating yourself to a fresh bouquet isn't just about the aesthetic - it’s science-backed self-care. As humans, we are naturally wired to crave nature (a concept called biophilia), so a simple arrangement can literally soften your nervous system. By swapping harsh screen lines (yep that includes endless scrolling) for organic textures and soft spring hues, you’re giving your brain the restorative "visual exhale" it deserves. I love having them in my work zone and on my coffee table - such a lovely way to welcome yourself home.

Wishing you all a gorgeous, glowing month! 

Love, Jena
