Smooth Lines | End of Summer

The summer is coming to a well-deserved end, though it is usually punctuated by an endless array of golden moments presenting skin, skin, and skin. This year’s extreme heat - blame global ignorance - left us more soaked up in the drenched look than the Britney glisten. Fret not, the time that you’re trying to keep matte and carry on will not be in vein. With this in mind, it is also a great chance to carry on that summer spirit into your pre-fall skin regimen. 

Plant Apothecary Wakey Wakey - Delicious soaps, it’s texture and aroma are refreshing, soft and luxurious; when applying the product you can feel the oils included in the soaps, and a small amount goes a long way; both are easy to rinse out and the skin is left with a feeling of absolute cleanliness.

Zelens Triple-Action Advanced Eye Cream - This wonderfully potent eye-cream is partially soothing with the botanical extracts while maintaining a good level of moisture. The scent is quite addictive and It totally helped puffiness, a great go to after a night out.

Acca Kappa's Tilia Cordata Parfum - End of the summer and my urges to want to smell of basil and Provençal fruits are over. The urge for that floral citrus matched with the hint of bergamot wears well and ends with a jasmine after note. A perfect early evening scent to be worn outdoors at best.

Z Recovery Intensive Repair Balm - A lovely and light balm that has quite the might. This balm is great for everyday use which also helps in booing those outer skin barriers. The take away from this one is the amount of moisture that comes with use.
