fave products // comfort zone sublime skin intensive serum

As someone who has yet to try any treatment beyond topical products and lasers for skincare improvements, anything that claims to have “natural filler effects” is intriguing. Comfort Zone Sublime Skin Intensive Serum combines the best of science and sustainability to create a facial serum that boasts some seriously impressive anti-aging benefits, if I do say so myself. The serum contains bio-actives such as hexapeptide (which has been known to give a botox-like effect), macro hyaluronic acid, and even achillea botanical extract (anti-aging powerhouse!) from regenerative agriculture.

After incorporating the Intensive Serum into my routine for a while, both morning and evening, I can truly say that my skin feels firmer, tighter, and smoother overall. I like that the formula is lightweight and easily absorbed, and layers nicely under my other products. It definitely leaves you with that coveted youthful glow we all strive for as we start to get older. As an added bonus, Comfort Zone’s innovative reusable, refillable packaging allows it to generate less impact on the environment as well! For an epic one-two punch, I highly suggest following up the serum with the Comfort Zone Sublime Skin Cream.

fave products // babor cleansing hy-öl & phyto-active sensitive

Come wintertime, I like to take my skincare to the next level with a super gentle and hydrating oil cleanser. You may have heard about the popular “double cleansing” method by now. It originated in Korea, and typically involves an oil cleanser to help remove makeup, sunscreen, city pollution, and anything else your skin may have accumulated throughout the day. At first I was a bit hesitant to try it out- it seemed like it could dry out my skin and strip it of the good oils it needs! However, I needn’t have worried. Once I started researching, I came across Babor Cleansing Hy-Öl and Phyto-Active Sensitive Cleansers, which looked like the perfect mix of water, plant-based oils, and essential vitamins to nourish the skin rather than deplete it. You start with a few pumps of the Hy-Öl and massage it into dry skin. Then add a pump or two of the Phyto-Active, spreading it evenly across your face. Next wet your fingers a bit, and create a smooth lather of the two on your skin. Rinse and pat dry! I’ve been loving how my skin feels after using this cleansing system, super soft and refreshed. Babor even makes a few different Phyto-Active Cleansers, so you can choose the best fit for your skin type, whether that’s sensitive, dry, dull, or combination. If you’re looking to switch up your cleanser this winter, I definitely recommend checking out Babor products for calm and youthful, glowing skin!
