Whether for the sensory experience, a relaxing ritual or the aim of luminous skin, beauty products rank high for us.
Here are a a few indispensable ones, at the moment.

DERMOPLASMINE LIP BALM
The talented and super in-the-know Kayli Rachelle did hair and makeup for our last photoshoot. She prepped our model Kelsey’s lips with the French “nipple cream” Homeoplasmine. The maker offers a dedicated lip balm, Dermoplasmine (available at any French drugstore) which has become an essential every morning & evening.

TERRA STOMA MOON DROPS
Los Angeles is maximum dry no matter what the season. Luca in Atwater Village suggested this serum. The key ingredient, Snow Mushroom, draws water into the skin and prevents moisture loss. It really does.

BIODANCE MASK
Blockshop (also in Atwater Village) stocks this Korean “gel-type” long-wearing mask — to be worn for at least four hours but preferably overnight. But only if you like to wake up dewy and hydrated.

FALCON FORMULATIONS
Friend & friend-of-the-brand Margaret-Anne discovered the homespun Falcon Formulations at High Falls Food Co-op several years back. If you live walking-, driving-, or roller-skating-distance to High Falls, New York go and buy everything they stock.

MARIE VERONIQUE
A facial with Kristina Holey is transcendent. Her prescription of post-facial skin care predominantly includes Marie Veronique. Once you are on that program, you need little else.
