B.C. beauty brand Saltyface is winning Instagram with a sun-kissed strategy

From soft-focus tans to beachy vibes, this local company is setting the gold standard for effortless influencer marketing.

The Vancouver-based influencer-turned-entrepreneur, alongside her husband, David Menzel, has poured all her digital efforts into the beauty brand and created a social media feed that brings sunny days to a rainy city.
