About our Partner

Who is Lauren Moore?

Lauren Moore, licensed esthetician and owner of Leaux Maintenance in Houston, Texas, specializing in waxing, facials, and treatments for sensitive, melanated skin. She originally planned to offer facials with her bridal makeup services but soon discovered a passion for waxing, which led her to open her own studio after seeing gaps in client care in her previous employment. Lauren partnered with AURGANICS for its focus on effective skincare for skin of color and appreciates the brand’s simple, purposeful ingredients. She uses Alpha Glow Serum in post-wax care, facials, and treatments for darkened inner thighs and underarms, and has seen positive results with her clients.

What inspired you to start Leaux Maintenance?

Tap to reveal

"I was originally a bridal makeup artist. When I became an esthetician, my goal was to provide facials for bridal parties. That vision changed in aesthetic school when I fell in love with waxing. I still enjoy a good facial, but waxing felt like my calling. Later, I returned to facials. I worked for a company I will leave anonymous for years, but I noticed many gaps between the service and client experience. I felt it was impossible to fix that there. So I decided to leave, work for myself, and fill that gap."

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE AURGANICS FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

Tap to reveal

"So we talked about filling that gap. I felt like Aurganics did a great job of it. The gap is that there isn't enough skincare directed and formulated for skin of color. We're seldom thought of, if at all. Usually, we're an afterthought. Often it's geared towards a certain demographic that doesn't care about us. With Aurganics, that's not the case. The ingredients are simple, straight to the point, and effective."

What's your favorite way to use alpha glow?

Tap to reveal

"I use Alpha Glow mainly after waxing and have seen a huge improvement in my clients. For example, one client used to experience swelling and redness on her lips after waxing, but since using Alpha Glow, she gets instant relief with no swelling or redness. I also use Alpha Glow as a serum in my double-exfoliation facial, the Glow, which gives beautiful results. Recently, I started adding Alpha Glow to body care treatments, such as my inner thigh/underarm protocols, for clients with dark marks, and we've seen amazing improvements."

LET'S TALK COFFEE: WHAT IS LAUREN'S GO-TO CAFE ORDER?

She loves a good double iced expresso with pandan and coconut milk. She also loves a refreshing iced kumquat green tea.

"Yeah, clearly. I love tropical flavors." 🌺

WHAT IS ONE OF LAUREN'S MORNING RITUALS?

"My morning ritual is snuggles and cuddles with my kid. We wake up and, no matter how busy our day is, we take a moment to cuddle."

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING OUTSIDE OF WORK AND THE SPA?

"I'm fortunate to live in Houston; it's amazing, especially as a foodie. When I leave work today, we're going to check out a new restaurant. My new thing is Pilates. I started it a year ago, and thank goodness I did because I'm a foodie, so Pilates helps balance it out."

Deeper dive into Lauren

Who inspires Lauren's skin-care philosophy?

Her high school color guard director always said, "Less is more." That stuck with her. Especially in skincare, where she believes in using a few effective products instead of many.

Lauren's zodiac sign is...

She's a Sagittarius! ♐️

Setting up her space

When she arrives at her studio, she cleanses the space with palo santo, sage, or incense while playing her affirmations playlist. She thanks her space when she arrives and when she leaves for its support each day.

What's been on Lauren's playlist lately?

Manifestations Playlist
"My current playlist is my Conjure/Affirmations and Manifestations playlist. It is a huge mix, ranging from Ken the Man to Solange. It also includes some Megan Thee Stallion, a true Houston girl. Mona Leo too. I am very much an H-Town girl. Mostly, the songs share my goals and ambitions nd the mindset I want to stay in to help me focus on my desires and actually achieve them."

As an esthetician, your job requires you to take care of so many people. What does a good self-care day look for Alicia?

HOVER TO FLIP
"Tuesdays are usually my self-care day because that's my day off, and those days are for me. I try to have a slow morning, but by nature I'm up around 7am. I just lay around, then get up and go to my favorite coffee shop to read. I let the day take me. Whether I'm at that coffee shop reading a good book, checking out a new restaurant, or going to a Pilates class, those are the things that fill my cup. And hanging out with my kid because she's my mini me. So, hanging out with her, books, a little shopping, and foodie things."

What advice would you give to your younger glow-getter self?

"Don't be afraid to conform. I was always a bit quirky, weird, different. At one point, I tried to assess & assimilate, but it was so uncomfortable that I wasn't happy. I would tell that version of myself not to assimilate, to find my own lane and stay in it. We tend to think of staying in your lane as bad, but no, stay in your lane. Do you."

And for our last question: when you are feeling overwhelmed, what keeps you motivated?

HOVER TO FLIP
"My kid. She's such an old soul. We have arguments where we're like, who's the mom here? She really keeps me grounded and brings me back. She can watch me be overwhelmed and overstimulated. She's like, come on, we're going to breathe. Okay, can we? What can we change? We're not going to worry about things we can't change. We'll focus on what we can change, handle that first, and deal with the rest later. And I'm like, girl, are you ten? Right?"
