Natasha Thahane Announced As The New SA Brand Ambassador For Garnier Even and Matte

"Everything I do must be authentic for me and my audience, and Garnier is just that." 

The announcement was made at a special event in Johannesburg that also marked the relaunch of the much-loved Garnier Even & Matte brand.

The brand is boldly moving into the new decade with superior new formulas that harness the best that nature has to offer – including the strongest complexion and oil control range yet.

Many people use a swath of skincare products daily to maintain a healthy exterior, but what you eat is even more important for your skin.

The brand might have been given a makeover, but in its appointment of Natasha as ambassador, it has continued its tradition of being represented by aspirational, yet relatable South African women.

This previously included renowned actress, producer and businesswoman, Connie Ferguson, and inspirational model, radio presenter and TV personality, Zizo Tshwete.

Theresa van Rooyen, Garnier marketing manager, says in this spirit, Natasha was a natural choice. “We chose the stunning Natasha because we wanted a truly South African woman who was deeply rooted in culture, and who was both inspirational and aspirational for young South African women. Natasha is natural and authentic, and truly represents what Garnier stands for as a brand – beauty that connects people,” Theresa explains.

These ideals resonate strongly with 24-year-old Natasha, who is deeply committed to working with young people as well as socially and environmentally conscious brands.

“I am passionate about students and want to make a difference in their lives. I also genuinely care about our planet and the state it’s in, and want to ensure that the next generation has a habitable, sustainable earth to live on. So it is important for me to work with brands that are committed to making a difference in our world. Garnier is such a brand. It is innovative, cares about people and the environment, and makes excellent products. Everything I do must be authentic for me and my audience, and Garnier is just that,” says Natasha.
