Smooth Lines | The Now
by Issabella Lovazzano
The Now offers sanctuaries all over Los Angeles offering a reset button for the overworked and under-slept. But now with their take home self care products, everyone can enjoy the healing benefits in the comfort of their own bedroom (or office).
The Now’s focus on all natural, raw ingredients and minimalist ideals create the perfect balance of design and nourishment. Their all white packaging truly encapsulates their mission of providing a free space for relaxation and healing away from the busy city. All their products are created with a power formulation of botanical ingredients that not only hydrate and refresh the skin, but cherish the skin. The Now understands that with skincare, simplicity is key.
The Flaunt staff took time off at the office to try out the products and the results were promising.
Nourish by The Now: Refresh Eye Mask - These eye masks are a must as a quick fix for a rough night out or in general well being. After the usual cleaning, face toning, and serum the eye mask was thrown on as that additional boost to a better complexion. The hydrating nature of the gel pads and their transparency make it look and feel as if you aren’t even wearing them.
Nourish by The Now: Body Lotion - The lotion has a base of coconut and jojoba oils, making it perfect for sensitive skin. The anti-inflammatory benefits come from reishi extract which is also great for anti-aging along with collagen boosting nutrients. You can also add a small amount your bathtub for optimal moisture and aromatherapy. The scent of sandalwood is refreshing and makes you smell as if you just left the spa.
Nourish by The Now: Lip Salve - The all natural lip salve is a must as it hydrates your lips quickly and contains small exfoliants. Ashwagandha root helps with anti-aging and the vitamin E oil helps repair cracked, dry lips. After using a small amount, you immediately notice an improvement in the smoothness of your lips which lasts longer than most balms.
Nourish by The Now: Copper Dry Brush - On dry skin before you add moisturizer or oil, brush upward onto your skin start from your feet. This dry brush is meant to exfoliate, increase circulation, and stimulate your lymphatic system. All of these benefits detox your skin and create a perfect canvas for your body lotion or oil to sink right into, optimizing their benefits. Copper has energetic effects that improve internal balance and healing.
Nourish by The Now: Body Oil - Similar to the lotion, you can also add this aromatherapeutic oil to your body and the bathtub. The ingredients are the same as the body lotion, however body oil can be much more moisturizing for those with dry skin. A little goes a long way, so apply a small amount to massage into your skin following the copper dry brush and let it melt away your stress.
Nourish by The Now: Jasmine Coconut Candle - One of our favorite products is the jasmine coconut candle. The scent is relaxing and isn’t overwhelming. Jasmine scent has properties proven to reduce stress and anxiety. Coconut wax is used as the base of this product which is vegan, burns slower than soy wax, and delivers a better smell. Enjoy this self-indulgent candle next to the bath, in the kitchen, or by your bedside table.
