4-Step Skin Rescue Kit
Regular use of masks means faces are confined to an unhealthy environment: warm & moist, with a lack of air circulation, which compromises the skin barrier and allows bacteria to thrive.
And in the absence of real-world social interactions, we are now exposed to unprecedented levels of blue-light as a result of increased screen time.
We’re all feeling the strain in one way or another, and internal stresses as well as environmental aggressors can cause havoc with our skin, leading to breakouts & inflammation.
So, ditch the PPE and take a slow, deep breath…
Our no-fuss 4-Step Skin Rescue Kit brings together some gentle & effective formulations to cleanse, soothe, heal & protect, while supporting the skin’s precious microbiome.
