From Japanese purple rice to a Greek grape-seed oil extract, give the gift of healthy looking skin this holiday season.
Discovery is one of the many joys when it comes to traveling, and finding amazing skincare products to fold into your daily routine is certainly no exception. With cooler temperatures and the harsher winter months upon us, keeping your face looking and feeling fresh is the gift that will keep on glowing all season long and if you’re looking to give the gift of self-care this holiday season, it doesn’t hurt to take a look at the ingredients before making a commitment. “Because your skin absorbs much of what you put on it, you want to think of your skincare products as food for your skin,” Sarah Villafranco, CEO + Founder of Colorado based natural skincare company Osmia Organics told Forbes. “Using natural and organic skin care is similar to eating natural and organic food. It contains the ingredients that nourish and benefit your skin, and omits the junk ingredients your skin doesn’t want or need.” When it comes to skincare, there’s no time like the present to step up your game and get some great Black Friday deals and discounts in the process. From a silky Japanese purple rice moisturizer to a facial cream from Amsterdam that uses tulip nectar and a multipurpose antioxidant that’s been crafted with EVOO from Italy, these moisturizers from around the world will get you glowing just in time for the holidays.
