• a new post on this @zionhealth scalp treatment

• a new post on this @zionhealth scalp treatment duo is up on the blog - link in bio to read!

Zion Health’s scalp scrubs are an in-shower treatment formulated to exfoliate + slough away buildup and flakes while restoring shine + luster to the hair. It provides a super gentle exfoliation (the scrubby granules feel akin to table salt) and when massages in it turns foamy, which helps to deposit its nutrients to the hair. Also happy to report that it rinses clean! It’s one of a few measures I’ve taken that’s helping to keep buildup and flakes under control.

The Scalp Nutrition Serum is meant to be a post-detox scalp treatment, but I actually like to use it on the ends of my hair as a pre-shampoo mask where it helps to re-moisturize hair and acts as a buffer against any potential drying effects of shampoo. It’s made with a blend of rich nourishing oils and it smells like peppermint which I quite like!

Zion Health kindly created a discount code for my readers! You can take 10% off your purchase of any scalp scrub, or their foaming detox scalp treatment, with code: MERCY10

• the soft, creamy texture of @berlin.skin’s famous Matcha Mask 🍵

I’ll be digging into this one as soon as possible with first impressions to note, but in the mean time here’s what you should know about it:

Berlin Skin’s Matcha Mask is a creamy, hydrating, moisturizing mask that provides gentle enzymatic exfoliation via pumpkin and papaya, benefits skin in antioxidants from its shade grown matcha, and it contains a number of oils & cocoa butter to deliver deep moisture.

It smells like the sweetest dream of a vanilla matcha latte and I can’t wait to incorporate this into my winter skincare rotation alongside my other Berlin Skin faves.

Have you tried their Matcha Mask? 👀

• the buttery, creamy texture of @skinalchemists

• the buttery, creamy texture of @skinalchemists Time Traveller Renewing Face Cream to be included as one of two products in @theboxwalla’s December Beauty Box. Sign ups are open and if you’re not already subscribed, you can sign up using the affiliate link in my bio!

Time Traveller is a ‘positive aging’ face cream, made with ingredients that encourage a quicker cellular turnover for smooth, renewed skin. Its ingredient deck includes bakuchiol, rosehip and cacay oil for retinol-like results, hyaluronic acid for skin plumping hydration, anti-bacterial colloidal silver and black seed oil, and moisturizers like squalane and cupuacu butter to lock in the hydration.

I’ve been finding this cream to be the perfect companion to @cipherskincare’s C-Shield vitamin C serum that’s also being included in this box - I don’t need additional serums or oils with C-Shield but just a solid moisturizer to lock it all in and this cream delivers equal parts hydration + moisture that I need. It’s also the kind of cream that works well on its own or layered with a simple hydrating serum for minimal skincare days - it has everything you need wrapped up in one little scoop.

Its texture is delectable, creamy and emollient and it has a really lovely, warming scent of neroli and rose.

Also, it’s lighter and whiter in color than it appears in my photo, but I had a difficult time capturing its color accurately in natural outdoor lighting which warmed it up.

Will you be trying it this winter? 🤍

• have you discovered @ipsumskin’s Lip Oil Bal

• have you discovered @ipsumskin’s Lip Oil Balm yet? 💋

This scrumptious pot of pink balmy goodness is an ultra moisturizing lip treatment made with plant oils (like macadamia, castor, sunflower, squalane & more) along with plant waxes, tomato fruit extract, rose flower oil, and pomegranate seed oil.

The formula is a soft, pliable glossy balm that melts on contact while still forming this really moisturizing and protective layer on the lips (i.e. it doesn’t absorb and disappear!) and it leaves lips with a gorgeous glossy sheen. More than a lip treatment, it’s the kind of lippie you’ll want to pair with makeup for a naturally pretty, subtle glossy lip.

@seenewskincare stocks Ipsum Skin at their skincare bar and my discount code GBM20 will save you 20% on their products and anything else at the retail store!

• my review on the @theboxwalla x @lepaar October Beauty Box is up on the blog, link in bio to read!

Subscriptions have since closed for this one, but I’m happy to report that One-Time Boxes have made been available at the Boxwalla beauty shop for $75, still an outstanding value with these exquisite oils valuing at $188.

Themed “When Time Stood Still”, October’s box showcases Lepaar’s KAIROS Moment Capsule Collection, which includes three soulful oil compositions that complement and work together to address various skin concerns. If you’re an oil enthusiast, def give this one a read!

• have you tried @yina.co’s sheet masks? 👀

• have you tried @yina.co’s sheet masks? 👀

I adore these! Yina’s sheet masks are multi-correctional, infused with traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, antioxidants, amino acids and peptides to deeply hydrate, brighten, firm and tone skin. The sheets go through a 21-day fermentation process and are infused in ginseng, centella, licorice and primrose; other ingredients include sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, gotu kola, ginger root, mung bean, hydrolyzed rice and hydrolyzed pearl, and quinoa seed.

There’s nothing like the feeling of a juicy, cooling sheet mask on skin that’s ‘under the weather’ and feeling inflamed, dry, or stressed. My skin is visibly plumper and more bright after I use one of these sheet masks and I can’t understate how soothing these treatments are.

The beauty of a sheet mask is that you can pop one on at any time of the day, but I like to go for an AM/PM mask right after cleansing to make sure that my clean skin has a chance to fully absorb the serum. Speaking of which, you can and definitely should save any remaining liquid in your mask pouch! I often have enough liquid left over equal to about ~15ml - enough that I can use it as a hydrating serum for a couple of weeks. These cost a pretty penny, but the ability to save the mask liquid to stretch the benefits of each individual mask makes them worth it.

Yina now sells these masks individually too in addition to the box sets, perfect for testing out or as a little treat to gift to one’s self. If you haven’t shopped with Yina before, you can save 10% on your first order when you sign up for emails FYI! I keep a Yina shopping link in my bio (in the discounts/promo codes section) for those interested. 🖐
