Daily Hydrating Cream ($75) This ultra-moisturizing cream is packed with a nourishing blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to keep the skin hydrated while protecting it from elements that speed up the signs of aging. This gentle cream also visibly reduces the apperance of fine lines and wrinkles, for an overall smooth and youthful appearance, while offering protection from the sun, and as an added bonus, the Daily Hydrating Cream has a light, refreshing scent of Coconut Milk and Lemongrass, making for a spa-like experience when applied. Formulated to effortlessly soak into all parts of the skin (including the neck, chest, and that pesky under-eye area), the Daily Hydrating Cream is the perfect option for those who want to ensure that their skin stays hydrated and protected without packing a ton of different creams in their carry-on.
Bright Eye Firming Mask ($60) Tackle under-eye bags and enrich your skin on-the-go with these serum-soaked under-eye patches! These concentrated specialty treatment masks deeply moisturize and revive delicate skin to reveal refreshed, youthful-looking eyes. Apply them during a flight or right before bed once you’re back at the hotel for maximum benefits. (Tip: these masks can also be used underneath any of our full-face masks! Double the masks, double the benefits!) Dawn Mask ($75) Our Dawn Masks are without a doubt one of our most popular products. Formulated with Mandelic Acid, these bamboo sheet masks improve texture of the skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Working as a chemical-based exfoliant, this multi-tasking treatment gently exfoliates the skin, clears congestion, and balances moisture levels to reveal smooth, glowing skin. This face mask is ideal for skin clarity and regeneration without compromising or using harsh ingredients, making it the perfect product to use after a long flight or whenever you feel like your pores could use a little extra love.
