Kristin Cavallari Teases Uncommon Beauty Expansion and Talks Glowing Skin Goals
Kristin Cavallari is betting big on her beauty line. The 38-year-old reality star-turned-entrepreneur and podcast host revealed plans to focus on expanding Uncommon Beauty — the skin care subsidiary of her jewelry brand, Uncommon James — during a discussion at ShopToday's Stages summit on Thursday.

'I'm really focusing on my beauty line,' she hinted. Cavallari went on to chronicle the evolution of the Uncommon business, from its original start with jewelry in 2017 to the debut of her clean product line four years later, which now includes a few body care essentials. 'Honestly, how the [beauty] aspect came about was that my team noticed a few years ago that people's number-one question was actually what my skin care routine was,' she said. 'And so I never really thought about doing skin care, but I thought, 'Well, you know, may as well just explore this and see.'' Creating clean product alternatives was, at the time, not the norm, Cavallari recalled. 'I thought I was using clean skin care, but then we sent it off to the lab and came to find out, it wasn't clean at all. We think the products we use are doing a good thing for our skin, but they're affecting the opposite when there are all these chemicals and everything in them,' she said. 'So, that was actually kind of alarming to me, and that made me want to do skin care.' The market for clean beauty has certainly grown since Cavallari debuted her first round of face essentials. However, there were a few preexisting brands such as Youth to the People and Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty, both of which launched in 2015, followed by Summer Fridays in 2018. Sasha Plavsic founded Ilia Beauty back in 2011. While there may be an oversaturation of clean brands now, Cavallari said she has no reason to back down from the beast that is the beauty business, or any product industry for that reason. ' There are a million clean skin care out there now. But we've evolved from just being 'clean' and now it's more that we're taking a stance on being really hydrating and going after that glowy, radiant skin. Clean is a bonus,' she explained. At this point, reinvention is second nature for Cavallari, a now mom of three who was catapulted into the spotlight at just 17 years old as a pioneer reality star on the MTV series 'Laguna Beach.' The chance to be on-screen as a teenager was an opportunity Cavallari jumped at and still doesn't regret to this day, she said, likening the decision to starting Uncommon James with no business plan all by herself. 'Learning what not to do is valuable,' she noted. Cavallari has since opened up four Uncommon James stores and entered the fragrance market with a unisex scent called Hard Feelings. The formula fuses notes of rose, hibiscus, incense, tobacco, pepper, bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood and orcanox.

How I Travel: Kristin Cavallari Won't Go to Paris Until She's in Love Again
It's been over 20 years since reality star fans learned the quintessential life lesson 'What happens in Cabo stays in Cabo' from the then-teenaged Kristin Cavallari, but the Laguna Beach and The Hills TV star still ticks the Baja California peninsula as one of her all-time favorite vacation spots. 'I've had a lot of fun in Mexico, I've had the most fun in Mykonos, and Santorini was one of the most beautiful places I've been to,' Cavallari says. 'I think it's really about who you're with more than the destination, actually.' These days, Cavallari is either traveling with her three children or her girlfriends, which means seeking out kid-friendly beach resorts and serenely gorgeous spots with hiking trails, respectively. Her work as the founder and CEO of the lifestyle brand Uncommon James and Uncommon Beauty (which just launched travel and mini sizes of its fragrance and skincare line) and host of the podcast 'Let's Be Honest' also frequently lands her on the road. Below, she discusses how she prioritizes her health when away from home, what one particular midwest city means to her, and why she hasn't been to Paris yet. What's in her carry-on bag: It's like a little emergency kit, so I always have a Tide to-go stick, mints, little floss picks, a travel mascara, an eyebrow pencil—and oh, a tampon! What she wears to fly: I like being really comfortable and I usually take early flights, so it's very common to see me in a sweat set or some loose trouser, and a sneaker. And I never put any makeup on, so you'll usually find me in a baseball cap, just to hide everything. How she stays healthy on the road: I know my routine is going to be thrown off; I'm probably not going to be able to work out as much as I normally would, and I'm obviously not going to be able to eat as well. I think that if I eat really well and work out consistently at home, then I don't have to beat myself up when I'm traveling, but I will still try to prioritize a workout if I can. If I'm going to be gone for five days, I typically will work out two or three times. For eating well, I bring food with me on the plane, always. You'll never find me without food. Luckily, LAX now has great healthy options, which makes me so happy. If it's L.A., New York, Chicago, I know how to navigate around those cities to get healthy food. If it's a new city, I'll research and google, 'organic coffee shop' or 'best organic restaurants,' because it's important to me. Putting a little time into it beforehand can really pay off. The ways she cares for her skin after flying:
