It is her mission to help you look and feel your best and to age gracefully. She believes your skin is your best accessory and it is her goal to help you put your best face forward.

As an expert in skincare, Dr. Halem has formulated and developed her own skincare line based on science. This is no ordinary skincare line; it has been scientifically developed using 6 essential ingredients to keep skin looking youthful. Her ESSENTIAL skincare line is the key to ongoing maintenance that can be supported at home.

Born from Dr. Halem’s personal passion for horses and riding, and the success of her ESSENTIAL skincare line, Dr. Halem has now developed EQUESTRIAN, her newest skincare line. This medical-grade skincare addresses the specific and extreme conditions faced by riders every day. Whether it’s the harsh sun, wind, sweat, or stable dirt, EQUESTRIAN provides the ultimate protection and care to keep your skin healthy and radiant.

“As an avid equestrian myself, I realized there was a gap in the market for skincare products tailored to our community,” says Dr. Halem. “We are constantly exposed to elements that accelerate skin aging, cause acne, and increase the risk of skin cancer. EQUESTRIAN is my answer to these challenges – a high-performance skincare line created by a rider, for riders.”

The EQUESTRIAN line includes a range of products, from performance sunscreens and moisturizers to serums and cleansers, all formulated with the highest quality ingredients to protect, repair, and enhance the skin. These products are designed to embody the confidence, grace, and determination inherent in the sport, providing riders with the skincare they need to look and feel their best.

Dr. Halem adds, “I wanted to give riders a skincare partner that aligns with the qualities we cherish in our sport. With EQUESTRIAN, you can ride with confidence knowing that your skin is protected and cared for, allowing you to focus on your passion.”
