fave products // iS clinical warming honey cleanser

iS Clinical is up there with some of my all-time favorite skincare brands. Known for their technologically advanced treatments using the best active ingredients, they make some of the highest quality, most effective products on the market. I have yet to be disappointed in anything I’ve tried, so I was pumped to try their Warming Honey Cleanser. I love the facial-like experience I get from this cleanser- the rich, luxurious honey gel texture gently warms and exfoliates my skin, leaving it smooth and refreshed! I slowly massage it onto my face, and sometimes even leave it on for a bit to prolong the spa vibes (and for that extra dose of hydration). Papaya enzymes work their magic to help unclog pores, and honey is a well-known antioxidant for fighting blemishes, making this an ideal cleanser for those with problematic or hormonal skin. I find myself reaching for the Warming Honey Cleanser on the regular, blemishes or not, especially as the the weather turns cooler. It just feels so right! Definitely jump on the iS Clinical bandwagon if you haven’t already!

fave products // milk + honey blue tansy balm & bakuchiol treatment

I first became a fan of milk + honey products after trying their Pink Clay Masque, which works wonders to clear your pores and balance the skin. I highly recommend it if you feel your skin needs a little detox situation. I love that all milk + honey products are hyperclean, effective, and safe. All super important in my book! When I heard they were launching a Blue Tansy Balm and Bakuchiol Treatment, I was totally down to give them a try. I’m all about a multi-use skin salve, and that’s essentially what the Blue Tansy Balm is. Blue tansy, blue chamomile, and blue yarrow work together to promote calm, balanced, healthy-looking skin, wherever you need it! It works equally as well to neutralize redness & dryness as it does to treat burns, rashes or scrapes! I personally love applying a thin layer to my face as an overnight mask that provides intense hydration while I sleep. Not to mention its clutch use as as a cuticle treatment as well. During the summer, if you find yourself with irritated bug bites or sunburns, a smear of this balm lends instant relief! Everyone in my family has gotten to reap the benefits so far, and I can only imagine I’ll find more uses for it over time. Talk about a do-it-all product!

The Bakuchiol Treatment is a wonderful alternative to the typical retinol products you find these days. This serum-moisturizer hybrid uses bakuchiol, a plant based alternative to retinol, to deliver retinol-like results without the skin irritation and photosensitivity side effects that can be all too common for some. The Bakuchiol Treatment works to reduce the appearance of fine lines & hyperpigmentation, while supporting collagen production to even your skin tone. Antioxidant rich botanicals like black willow bark extract & edelweiss stem cell extract work their magic to leave you with brighter, softer skin! PS- If your skin is a bit more dry and/or sensitive, I suggest adding this to your moisturizer or facial oil, and applying it that way. Otherwise, feel free to use solo as a leave-on serum treatment. Regardless, just don’t forget the SPF!

milk + honey also makes some luxurious sounding bath products (Eucalyptus, Arnica, Rosemary, Sweet Marjoram Sore Muscle Soak, anyone??) that I’m dying to get my hands on. I can just picture myself relaxing in the bath with a glass of wine and their Lemon, Vanilla Milk Bath. Yes, please. Now, get to pampering!
