Interview with Jennifer YenStarting her career as TV villainess on the hit TV show ‘Power Rangers,' Jennifer Yen faced troubled skin after wearing heavy makeup for 15-hour days on set, under bright lights, performing action scenes. Almost ten years later, after giving birth to her daughter, Jennifer once again developed skin issues ranging from eczema and rosacea to adult acne.During this time, Jennifer's mother recommended she follow the 2,000-year-old practice she once followed rooted in Chinese Medicine referred to as “Sitting the Month,” in English — In which a new mother sits out for the month after childbirth to rest and heal her body by integrating Superfoods into her daily life. Not only did this energize Jennifer, but it also brought vitality and radiance back into her skin!Inspired by her Asian heritage and her personal journey with skin and hair challenges, Jennifer has built a reputation for creating products that combine ancient traditions with modern innovations. Her entrepreneurial journey began with Purlisse, a skincare line that has become a trusted staple for its gentle, effective solutions. She followed this success with Yensa, a makeup brand infused with superfoods, designed to bridge the gap between skincare and cosmetics. Now, with Jooy, Jennifer is turning her attention to scalp health, offering innovative products with the goal of bridging the gap between skincare and haircare. Jooy's science-backed formulas reflect Jennifer's commitment to addressing often-overlooked areas of beauty care.Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/jenyen1/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/officialmorejooy/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/purlisse/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/yensabeauty/?hl=en News from TheTease.com:https://www.thetease.com/transform-the-way-you-style-hair-with-the-new-innovative-and-powerful-ga-ma-professional-iq3-perfetto-by-rossano-ferretti/ https://www.thetease.com/the-tease-team-shares-their-holiday-wishlists/ More from TheTease.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/volumeupbythetease/ (volumeupbythetease)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ / (KellyEhlers)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig)Web: https://www.thetease.com (TheTease.com)Email: VolumeUp@TheTease.comCredits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.

Once upon a time, Jennifer Yen was the villainess Vypra on the TV Show Power Rangers.  Her skin needed help after wearing heavy TV make up under stage lighting for hours.  She created Purlisse.  In 2014, after the birth of her daughter and some help from her mom and ancient Asian beauty and health rituals, she created Yensa.   Join us as we share Jennifer Yen's journey from starting as an evil Power Ranger to creating two beauty companies, and achieving the success of being one of the most powerful, successful entrepreneurs in the beauty industry.  Jennifer Yen is the CEO and founder of Purlisee and Yensa.  Creating two separate brands in different stages in her life, Jennifer shares her beautiful story, her challenges, as well as her insight of what it takes to be an indie brand and small business owner in a very crowded beauty world.   For more information on the brands, please visit www.purlisse.com or www.yensa.com

Jennifer Yen played the villain character Vypra on the hit series "Power Rangers: Light Force," but in real life, she struggled to find self-confidence due to skin issues from wearing heavy makeup for the show. Frustrated with trying techniques and products that didn't work, Yen drew upon on her Chinese roots and looked to her grandmothers for help, an experience that led her to give up acting in order to create her first skin care line. She tells "LA Stories" host Giselle Fernandez it was her second line that found success by celebrating her Asian heritage, which she didn't embrace the first time around per the advice of some investors. Yen now hopes to inspire other women in business to continue to fight for whatever dream they're chasing.

On this episode, we discuss our April 2022 pick is A Taste for Love by Jennifer Yen, a rom-com about Liza Yang, a high school senior who loves to bake but her mother would rather set her up on blind dates with acceptable Chinese boys. After she finally convinces her mother to let her participate in the family's annual baking competition as a judge, she finds that her mother has filled the competition with potential suitors, with her as a prize!

Kendra talks to Jennifer Yen (jenyen1), a superhero, and the Founder of Purlisse Beauty (@purlisse), and Yensa Beauty (@yensabeauty). In two different stages of her life, Jennifer seized the opportunity to start two brands that initially met a personal need. Her acting role on the hit TV show Power Rangers required heavy makeup and other environmental triggers that damaged her skin. When other products yielded no results, Jennifer created Purlisse Beauty in 2008, sourcing ingredients and formulas derived from Asian beauty wisdom and reinvented into a modern, high-performing skincare line. Jennifer experienced a second transition when she became a mother and maintained her demanding schedule while simultaneously caring for her daughter.  Both her skin and body showed signs of depletion. This time Yen enlisted the practice of her heritage to bring about her healing: ‘Zuo Yuezi' aka in Chinese Culture as ‘The Sitting Out Month'; a practice that dates back 2000 years. The mother heals by nourishing her body with a blend of superfoods to restore inner and outer vitality. It is those superfoods that we find in Jennifer's second brand, Yensa Beauty, which she names as “the first Asian true superfood cosmetics line that marries tried and true superfood ingredients with science to revive the skin and complexion”.   In our conversation, Jennifer shares her differentiated experience of starting and scaling two brands in two different challenging periods: the recession and the pandemic. Tune in to learn about her multiple pivots, becoming a known digitally native brand, her views on DTC versus retail, her take in financing and so many more lessons! “I would talk to investors in 2006 and they would be like ‘who's going to buy this?' and I would say ‘go to your wife's cabinet  and see how many beauty products she has.' Now it's like everybody knows. VC firms that have invested in technology want to get into beauty because technology helps to scale a beauty brand.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amanda and Jenn discuss several geographically specific reads, COVID art, memories in sci-fi, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. Follow the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback This Is Paradise by Kristiana Kahakauwila (rec’d by Carol) Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody (rec’d by Laura) A Painted House by John Grisham, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin (rec’d by Suzanne) Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy Cummings (rec’d by Rachel) Good Enough to Eat by Jae and Alison Gray, CW: it deals with real addiction and alcoholism (rec’d by Rose) The Library of Legends by Janie Chang (rec’d by Susan) Questions 1. My question is: can you suggest a mystery set in any of the remaining states? They are Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah. I’d like to accomplish this using unique authors for each state, so another Grisham, for example, would not work. Any kind of mystery will do, preferably somewhere in the broad middle between cloying cozy and gruesomely gory. I included my list so far for reference. Thank you! -Suzanne 2. What are your favorite books set in Mexico? I just read Gods of Jade and Shadow and I loved it…and then I read Mexican Gothic, which I also loved up until the point where it made me gag (so much squick). Anyway, reading Silvia Moreno-Garcia has really piqued my interest in Mexico as a setting, and I’d love some recommendations for further reading. Thank you!  -Sara 3. For me, COVID art has been a really helpful way to cope in the last year whether it be music, TV, or written works that deal with pandemic realities head on. Because I work in the restaurant industry, I experienced only a very short quarantine period before being back out in the world, and I think I appreciate the aspect of getting on with life in the face of the ongoing trauma and fear and still finding plenty of joy in small moments. The only book I’ve found dealing directly with COVID (aside from specifically scientific stuff, which I’m far less interested in) is Intimations by Zadie Smith. What else is out there?  Thanks! -Carol 4. I’m looking for a recommendation for two very different sub genres of thriller. I recently read City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong and it reminded me a little bit of The Blinds by Adam Sternbergh. I wondered if you know of any other books like this “remote town, cut off from the rest of the world, group of people living there who have to be self sufficient but all have lots of secrets and a murder happens.” I also recently read One by One by Ruth Ware and I wasn’t a fan, I’m not looking for stranded people, as much as a group that chose to go live remotely and cut off from the world. Second, I’m currently reading The Seven Doors by Agnes Ravatan and I really like the Scandinavian setting. I also love the “is there something supernatural or is this just a thriller element?” The other book I loved similar to this was I Remember You: A Ghost Story by Yrsa Siguroardottir. This also had the remote Scandinavian setting with the “maybe” supernatural something happening. Any help in these two areas would be awesome!   -Heather 5. I love the show. I would really love a recommendation on rotten food I am not talking about the Netflix show, I would love if it had a variety of foods that as human beings we eat that are disturbing to others but as a culture it is acceptable as well as the process of how this came to be. For instance, where did we get the idea of cheese and how it was safe to eat or how balut became delicacy to eating casu marzu or even monkey’s brains. I want to find a book on all these fascinating foods and how they came to be introducing into a culture as well as an acceptable food something from all cultures. -Grace 6. I recently finished reading Mem by Bethany C. Morrow and really loved it and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. What I loved about it is how it discusses the importance of memories regardless of how bad they may seem/ Mixed with the sc-fi, alternate history elements, and the amazing writing, this book is just everything I ever needed! Do you have any book recs with similar vibes/themes? Please, only fiction, and preferably under 350 pages. I also wanted to say that I really love this podcast and that I discovered many of my favorite books because of it. Keep it up! -Passant 7. I am looking for some book recommendations about marriages that are struggling in a fictional setting. Struggles that are not related to affairs or already at divorces door. I want to see the internal dialogue/conflict and how two people navigate a marriage that’s not full of love anymore and can hopefully come back from that. Thank you so much for all the hard work you guys do to help us readers find what we’re looking for! You are much appreciated and needed -Alexis Books Discussed Alabama: The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins Utah: The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff (cw: homophobia) Kingdom Cons by Yuri Herrera, transl Lisa Dillman The Hummingbird’s Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea (tw: rape, child abuse) The Premonition by Michael Lewis Together, Apart, by Erin A.

Jennifer Yen is the founder of purlisse, a line of skincare products.  She is mostly known for  her role as Vypra, on Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.  As a former actress, Jennifer spent hours under heavy makeup and bright lights and her skin paid the price. The quest to restore her complexion and confidence lead me to rediscover her grandmother’s Asian beauty secrets, which healed her skin and inspired her to bring her rituals to women everywhere. Jennifer used to struggle with her identity as an Asian person growing up in Texas.  She didn't where she belong.  It wasn't until she went to college she realized she can be her true self and live in her uniqueness that has helped her today.
