If you are anything like us, this dry Southern California weather (Santa Ana's and record-breaking heat?) is making our skin itchy, cracked and downright sallow. Enter Skin Owl to the rescue! Created by Los Angeles-based Annie Tevelin, an accomplished make-up artist, Skin Owl utilizes pure plant oils and antioxidants to replenish tired, dry and thirsty skin. And best of all, all the products are completely toxin-free, so you're putting nothing but goodness back into your skin,.
Body ($59.99), a moisturizing oil with ingredients that include neem, apricot, safflower and sweet almond oils, aloe, jojoba and vitamin E--with a touch of vanilla extract, is perfect for massaging into skin after a shower. Not only does it replenish dry skin, Body adds radiance and visibly reduces the appearance of stretch marks, wrinkles and dark spots. Sold! Take a cue from Tevelin who recommends adding a few drops to a favorite cream or liquid bronzer to give your skin a lift--a great tip for the walk down the aisle.
And for your face, turn to Skin Owl’s Argan Infusion line ($30-$50) , not only glowing skin--but also for the lines aromatherapy benefits. The Clary Sage blend helps hydrate, plump and smooth fine lines while helping create a peaceful state (um, wedding stress anyone?). Other options include Lavender, a concoction that is great for sensitive skin types, acne prone and oily skin, and Geranium, a balancing oil that maintains current levels of moisture and boosts radiance.
