fave products // fresh beauty black tea kombucha facial treatment essence

I love a good facial mist any day (as evidenced herehere and here!), but come spring and summertime, when the weather gets a bit warmer, they truly hit the spot. As the temperatures have risen here in Los Angeles over the last few weeks, I've found myself reaching for Fresh Beauty's Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence on a pretty regular basis.  This potent age-delay essence is especially helpful for those like me who live in urban areas where smoke and smog can cause oxidative stress to your skin. I mean, who wants accelerated signs of aging?? Not me! Kombucha, another guilty pleasure of mine, is the star ingredient here thanks to vitamins and organic acids that work to protect your skin from pollution and free radicals. My husband and I even learned to make our own kombucha at home, and I highly recommend it!

This powerhouse product protects your skin with antioxidants, replenishes moisture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and enhances luminosity all at once! I love that with a good facial spray or essence, highly concentrated ingredients with specific, targeted benefits are quickly delivered and absorbed into my skin. Talk about efficient! It also makes for the perfect first step post-cleanser, prepping your skin for any other products you may be using. Another bonus- when TSA-friendly, a facial essence can also make for a great mid-flight skin refresher to counteract all that nasty recycled plane air. Sign me up!

fave products // fig & yarrow complexion water

 
 

I love keeping a little skin refresher in my bag at all times, for whenever my complexion needs a pick-me-up spritz. There are quite a few options out there these days, and many with high quality ingredients at that. But one that I keep coming back to for not only its stellar ingredient list, but also its calming and balancing nature, is Fig + Yarrow Complexion Water. This aromatic blend of orange blossom, rose water, and sandalwood oil has a luxurious hydrating and toning effect for the face, body, and hair. Neroli oil boasts regenerative and rejuvenating qualities for sensitive skin, and also adds a wonderfully warm and seductive smell to the water. I personally love the smaller, travel-size bottles, because I can keep them with me in even the smallest of purses, not to mention in my carry-on while traveling. Keep an eye out for Fig + Yarrow's other complexion water blend as well, which is made of yarrow, immortelle, and rockrose, and especially beneficial for sun-damaged, aging, or problematic skin. Fresh and rehydrated skin is just a spritz away!
