THE ANCIENT ART OF THE OIL WASH: HOW TO USE LIVING LIBATIONS BEST SKIN EVERS

"Listen—this is a Holy Grail. I’ve tried literally everything over the years for my skin... and I was immediately BLOWN AWAY. I am really grateful for this product." — Emily

In the realm of botanical beauty, the constellation of Best Skin Ever formulations is the pure distillation of ancestral skin care and bioactive botanical brilliance. Each experience is a singular skin salvation sensation designed to simplify your life while restoring your complexion by balancing the biome to its natural state of luminous grace.

Whether you choose the original glowing glory of Seabuckthorn, the soother of sensitivity Sandalwood, the opulent elegance of Rose, the calming consecration of Frankincense, the numinous tonic of Neroli, the everlasting renewal of Immortelle, or the juicy joy of Jasmine, you are enlivening your skin with specialized serums that innately revitalize the living skin you are in with “holy grail” goodness that is 100% real to the feel. This is your cleanser, your exfoliator, and your nourishing moisturizer, a sublime substance that graces the face and bedews the body from head to toes.

THE SCIENCE OF THE SEAL: WHY WE WASH WITH OIL
To recover the integrity of the epidermis, the first step is halting the spin-cycle of surfactants. Synthetic soaps and foaming cleansers are designed to strip, and in doing so, they devastate the protective hydro-lipid barrier, the delicate seal of moisture and beneficial bacteria that comprises the skin’s innate immunity. When this seal is microscopically breached, the skin becomes ripe for pathogens and toxins, leading to a state of constant dermal dysbiosis manifested as melasma, inflammation, infection, dryness, and redness. To restore biological balance, we return to the confluence of the cosmos: washing with the soothing lipids of botanical oils that activate the principle of "like dissolves like" while replenishing with bioactive molecules.

Modern skincare routines often suppress the beauty of this symbiotic microbe-skin system. Daily scrubbing with chemical cleansers creates a "leaky skin" effect analogous to a leaky gut. Surfactants do more than just remove oils; they also dissolve the skin’s natural ceramides and enzymes. This sudden loss sends a stress signal to the sebaceous glands that overcompensate for the depletion by producing excess oil. These surfactants also insert themselves into the stratum corneum like microscopic splinters. Even after rinsing, residue remains lodged in the tissue. This initiates a constant degradation of the skin’s "first responders," essentially leaving the front door of the dermal immune system wide open.

Our skin is in perpetual bacterial bloom, a living landscape alive with the beauty of beneficial microbes essential to the functioning of healthy tissue. This cutaneous microbiome is in constant conversation with the immune, digestive, and hormonal systems. Common labels of dry, oily, or combination skin are not permanent types, but rather symptoms of bacterial disharmony. Acne, rosacea, melasma and blackheads are often manifestations of a compromised biome. Bypassing the perpetual loop of surfactant distress nourishes the skin’s innate biological buffer, allowing the microbiome to flourish.

In contrast, pure organic oils, especially wholesome Jojoba, offer a biological homecoming. Recognized in immunology as a "self" substance, Jojoba is a liquid plant wax molecularly symbiotic with human sebum, making it the most synergistic lipid in the plant kingdom. It smoothly sinks in and penetrates to "unplug" pores, dissolving hardened, oxidized oils and whisking away debris while leaving native skin oils intact. This process ensures the stratum corneum remains uncompromised, sealing moisture in while allowing the skin to breathe. It is the life force of this plant perfection that melds with the microbiome to create dew-drenched vitality.

Within this lipid-rich sanctuary, essential oils act as the intelligence of our Best Skin Ever formulas. Aromatic extracts are the distilled secretions of the plant's own "epidermis," the very source and substance of the molecules that protect the plant from pathogens. When applied, these essences ally with the body as botanical-biotics that work synergistically with the microbiome. They possess the unique ability to calm quorum sensing to effectively interrupt the "pathogen parties" that lead to breakouts and inflammation. Simultaneously, these bioactive molecules inhibit the collagenase enzymes that cause dermal degradation, preserving the skin’s structural integrity while activating anti-inflammatory pathways that harmonize with the body's innate immunity.

A LINEAGE OF LIPIDS: A HISTORY OF WASHING WITH OIL
The august oils of antiquity were the original  remedies to tone, cleanse, and replenish skin. While oil cleansing today is often steeped in synthetics and rancid oils, it is rooted in a timeless lineage of beauty that spans centuries. Long before the invention of harsh surfactants, lipids, the very lubricants of life, were understood as the skin’s sacred shield. With the simple alchemy of oil, water, and massage, ancient civilizations achieved a level of "real-to-the-feel" radiance that modern chemicals simply cannot replicate.

Cleopatra’s Lipid Lab: The Alchemy of Arid Lands
In ancient Egypt, the "science of the seal" was a daily protocol with a sophisticated alchemy of oil cleansing and layered lipids to soften and shield the sacred temple of the skin. Cleopatra’s complexion was maintained through a lab-like mastery of Moringa, Castor, Olive, and Crocodile oils infused with activating essences of Rose, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Cedar, and Myrrh. Exfoliating oil-pastes called Natron were prepared with honey, Nile clay, and powdered ash. These mixtures acted as bioactive magnets, binding to desert debris to lift from pores and "pull" heavy kohl pigments from the skin. To this day, the limestone remnants of her large-scale laboratory (gifted to her by Mark Antony after he seized the region’s lucrative balsam groves from King Herod) at the Ein Gedi oasis reveal the furnaces and fermentation vats where the legendary Balsam of Judea was distilled. It was a variety of Myrrh oil (Commiphora gileadensis) harvested from a small, scrubby tree that grew exclusively in the hyper-saline microclimate of the Dead Sea, and this botanical gold was treasured for healing wounds and preserving the skin's tone.

The Unctuous Unctorium: Greco-Roman Strigil Rites
Greco-Roman baths featured unctoriums, dedicated oiling rooms where the skin was prepped for a cleansing reset. The protocol was layering on the skin a fine olive oil unguent often infused with essences, ground pumice, and fine clay for pore-precision exfoliation. Rather than rinsing with soap, they used a strigil, a curved metal tool, to gently scrape away the oil. This process lifted dirt, sweat, and debris while leaving the skin’s vital moisture barrier revitalized. The ritual concluded with a dip in the frigidarium (cold pool) to seal the pores and lock in the nourishing oil.

The Oleation Therapy of Ayurveda
Abhyanga, a daily oleation of the body, is a cornerstone of the Ayurvedic tradition in which oiling and oil cleansing is essential to skin health. For millennia, this ablution has been grounded in the foundational chemistry that "like dissolves like," creating the supplest of skin while acting as an immuno-beauty purification protocol. The ritual saturates the tissue in warm, herbal-infused Sesame or Coconut oils that draw out fat-soluble toxins that water alone cannot reach. As a vital element of Dinacharya (daily routine), the practitioner performs rhythmic, purposeful strokes toward the heart to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the drainage of metabolic waste. Nurturing the skin in this way pacifies Vata, the elemental forces of air and ether that manifest in the body as Ruksha (dryness). Without this oil-barrier, excess Vata can lead to parched depletion that accelerates premature aging. By sealing in vital moisture and protecting against the desiccating effects of dry heat, this daily oiling ensures the skin remains plump and resilient. 

The Mediterranean Wet Cloth Oil Wash
In this tradition, a soft linen cloth was soaked in warm water, wrung out, and saturated with aromatic oils. Massaged over the face and body in rhythmic, clockwise circles, the warm cloth acted as a textile strigil. This protocol harnessed the heat of the water and the dissolution solution of lipids to cleanse and mimic the skin’s natural sebum production. By "awakening" the blood flow and lymphatic drainage, the gentle friction lifted debris and stimulated deep tissues while leaving the skin plumped, polished, and protected.

Traditional Chinese Complexion Medicine: Pearl and Camellia
In the royal courts of the Ming and Qing dynasties, oiling was the primary method for maintaining a "jade-like" face, the highest compliment for a radiant complexion. Camellia Oil, a lovely lipid in synergy with sebum, was often blended with finely milled pearl powder to achieve a skin state of “moonlit translucency.” This tradition also birthed Gua Sha, a method to Gua, "scrape" an oiled skin surface. Using bone or stone as a refined strigil, the practitioner released Sha (heat stagnation), ensuring the complexion remained cool, clear, and structurally balanced.

Silk Road Secrets: The Hamam Oil Cleanse
The lineage of lipids traversed the Silk Road carried by nomadic Roma women traveling from Northern India into the heart of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. These women were the early keepers of aromatic oil cleansing, a practice that fundamentally influenced the development of the Turkish Hamam. In these marbled chambers of steam, purification was achieved through a sophisticated "oil-hybrid" ablution. 
Central to this Byzantine bathing was Sabun Beldi, an unctuous, lipid-liniment of macerated black olives and olive oil. This paste, which acts more like a botanical magnet than a soap, was applied to skin softened by steam. Rather than a simple rinse, the ritual required the Kessa, a traditional glove of silk or goat hair, to methodically "scrape" the oil-paste away, simultaneously "sealing" the new skin in a protective layer of olive lipids. 

Herbalist Juliette de Baïracli Levy chronicled the beauty secrets of the Roma, distilling their nomadic wisdom into a simple purification: apply pure olive oil to a wet cotton cloth and rub the skin. This friction lifts away dusty debris and micro-excretions while keeping the skin’s lipid-buffer intact. By using the wet cloth as the conduit for the oil, you mirror the ancient Hammam technique: cleansing the skin's terrain while simultaneously anointing it with the essential lipids required for resilience

MOLECULAR INTEGRITY: BEYOND THE "NATURAL" LABEL
Beware the “natural” label! Indeed, not all natural oils are equal, and many lack the molecular stability required for cutaneous vitality. Common options such as soy, peach kernel, and sunflower oils are often rancid before they even reach the shelf. Grapeseed oil, in particular, is processed with solvents for extraction as the seeds are naturally low in oil; without this high-heat chemical intervention, the result would be a thick, unusable sludge. High-demand lipids like avocado and almond are frequently cut with cheaper, mass-produced seed oils of canola, soybean or sunflower oil. Cosmetic industry oils are systematically stripped of their nutrients through bleaching and deodorizing to create a clear, odorless aesthetic. Applying these unstable, contaminated oils is counterproductive to your countenance; rancid lipids undergo lipid peroxidation that triggers free-radical damage and oxidative stress within the skin biome. To truly nourish the biological buffer, one must source organic oils with high oxidative stability—pure, cold pressed, and supercritical extractions—ensuring the lipids are vibrant, stable, and free from the chemical residues of modern refining. 

Our Living Libations formulations have distilled the wisdom of these ancestral traditions into each Best Skin Ever, bottled liquid-intelligence designed to simplify self-care into a singular step. By combining the "science of the seal" with an exacting selection of bioactive, lipid-soluble nutrients, each bottle is a banquet of beauty that honors the skin’s breathability. These botanical synergies do more than just cleanse; they fortify the barrier, reanimate the glow, and mimic the skin's innate sebum to restore vibrant vitality. This is the Best Skin Ever way: a return to the legendary lipid-wash, where the pores are purely cleansed and skin is replenished and innately shielded for glowing goodness. 

SEAL + REVEAL: THE BEST SKIN EVER PROTOCOLS
Seal your skin. Reveal your Best Skin Ever. 

Our Best Skin Evers are soothing solutions that serve the skin in so many ways:  

Stretch Marks + Scars: For pregnant mothers, daily application of Best Skin Ever (especially Seabuckthorn or Rose) to the belly, hips and breasts is legendary for preventing stretch marks. By maintaining the skin’s elasticity and lipid depth, the Best Skin Ever seal allows the belly to expand and retract with grace.

"The full package! I used Seabuckthorn BSE all through my pregnancy along with Rose BSE—applied daily after a shower. I did not have any pregnancy skin issues OR stretch marks. Now I use it as an oil cleanser every night and am super impressed with how soft, clear, and exfoliated my skin is. I got really into K-beauty during the pandemic and multi-step skincare regimes. Now it’s one and done for this new mama. Love this product!" — Taryn

New Born Baby Skin: Beautiful for baby massage, cradle cap, and diaper rashes as Best Skin Ever soothes the delicate, emerging microbiome of infants, as nature intended.

“The ONE and ONLY product that ACTUALLY works for my man, and we've tried everything! I just want him to be able to feel as sexy as he looks.” – Alanna 

"Incredible product! I have been using this to oil cleanse and moisturize my face for a month and the results have been amazing. My husband said this is the best his skin has ever felt or looked. We began using it in December and it maintained my skin moisture during winter. I love how this makes my routine much easier too!" — Gema

After Sun: While Everybody Loves the Sunshine is our dedicated sun-harmonizer, Best Skin Ever formulas do double duty as silky after-sun care. The chemistry of these oils—rich in anti-inflammatory pigments and carotenoids—acts as a biological quencher for oxidative stress. Applying Best Skin Ever post-sun helps maintain your base tan by deeply saturating the tissue, preventing the peeling phase of dehydration. 

“Your products have changed my life! I get so many compliments that I ""glow"" and I really owe it the Best Skin Ever oils. Thank you for sharing your potions with the world!

YET, today I get more people telling me I ""glow"" than before my pre-acne-prone skin!” - Kat 

“I have been using the Frankincense Best Skin Ever for well over a month now and the results have been amazing. I used to struggle with uneven skin tones and the odd pimple would pop up here and there "forcing" me to use a light foundation all of the time, which would only perpetuate the problem. After using this product for only a couple of weeks I have thrown out my foundation. For the first time since my teens (I'm 37) I have been completely confident in going out in public bare skinned!” - Terra 

Massage: For professional bodywork, home massage, or intentional Face Yoga, Best Skin Ever provides the perfect slip while delivering therapeutic botanicals transdermally.

TLC Skin Spot Treatments: For areas requiring focused attention, such as dry patches, minor irritations, or blemishes, use Best Skin Ever as a concentrated spot treatment. The "like dissolves like" chemistry helps clear debris from pores while providing the specific lipids needed to restore the biological buffer in distressed areas.

“Acne was completely cured. As someone who has struggled with acne, this is my holy grail. I use it religiously and you get so much product. I will never try anything else.” – Jade

HOW TO OIL CLEANSE
If you are pivoting from a multi-step skincare routine or starting your first "Skin Reset," the method is three easy steps.
1. Prime: A small portion of a face cloth (or organic cotton round) with water.
2. Cleanse: Apply 1–2 squirts of your favorite Best Skin Ever to the dampened portion of the cloth. Massage over the face and neck. The oil binds with debris while the cloth provides a "perfect polish" exfoliation. 
3. Seal: Rinsing is optional. If your skin needs more moisture, massage another squirt of BSE or a Libations Serum or Crème to further seal moisture in.

Extra Exfoliation Tip: For a deeper polish, add a pinch of baking soda, Rosemary Reset, or Perfect Pearl Powder to your oil massage. This creates a mineral-rich paste that buffs away dead cells while the lipids protect the new skin underneath.
Excellent as a Makeup Remover: Best Skin Ever is the ideal for removing all makeup—even mascara. Simply apply a squirt of oil to a damp cotton round to sweep away eye and face makeup before proceeding to the full cloth cleanse.

For the first time in years, I feel confident leaving the house without foundation makeup. My skin tone is finally even, and the melasma I thought was permanent is visibly fading." — Sara

BEST SKIN EVER BODY OIL CLEANSE
Best Skin Ever formulas sanction silky skin from head to toe, including knees and elbows. After a bath or shower, leave the body wet to damp as a little water facilitates quick emulsification. Apply a few squirts of any Best Skin Ever onto palms or a damp washcloth and glide over the entire body; as water and oil join, it provides a light exfoliation and total super-saturation. For an extra cleansing polish, add a pinch of baking soda, extra-fine sea salt, or clay to the oiled cloth. Rinse, then with wet hands, apply a final layer of Best Skin Ever and you will glow all over.

THE DANNA OMARI BEST SKIN EVER RESET
In her esthetic philosophy, Danna Omari, founder of Noy Skincare, champions the Best Skin Ever Reset as the clearest path to dermal homeostasis, recommending a total "Stop and Reset" to restore the skin’s native brilliance. Danna recognized Best Skin Ever to be the “genuine game-changer” that restores innate integrity by balancing the biome without shifting pH or compromising the delicate acid mantle. This method has helped provide rejuvenating results for thousands of women, allowing them to simplify their routines and resolve “stubborn" skin issues by revealing their skin's natural potential with Best Skin Ever.

The Reset Protocol: For 7 to 10 days, remove all synthetic surfactants, SPFs, and makeup. Only use the Best Skin Ever to cleanse and moisturize. This allows the cutaneous microbiome to harmonize without the distraction of reactives that may be further inflammatory. To avoid any possible irritation from laundry detergents found on towels, use only organic cotton rounds during the reset.

"Danna’s reset was a genuine game-changer. I stopped the 'war' on my face, and my cystic acne cleared up within the first week. My skin finally feels like it’s at peace." — Melissa R.

"My skin has never been this smooth or this clear. All of a sudden in my late 20s I found myself with uncontrollable, painful acne. I tried everything I could think of... I was worried about the BSE reset and didn't want to waste more money on products that wouldn't live up to the claim. TAKE MY MONEY. After a 14 day reset I've started incorporating DewDab and I can't quit looking at my skin. The difference is night and day. I finally have my confidence back. Thank you SO much!" — Juli

DANNA’S DERMAL SCULPTING PROTOCOL
Beyond daily cleansing, Danna recommends a dedicated dermal massage to exercise the tissue, clear deep-seated congestion, and revive stagnant circulation. This "dry" method allows for more "grip" on the tissue, facilitating manual lymphatic drainage and "unplugging" the pores.

The Dry Melt: Apply 4 pumps of Best Skin Ever to dry hands and dry skin. Massage for 3 minutes in quick, circular motions. "Like dissolves like" is the law here; let the lipids melt oxidized plugs and debris.
The Sculpture: While the skin is saturated, use firm, upward strokes with your hands or a stone tool to drain lymph and sculpt the jawline. This "Facial Yoga" improves skin posture and revitalizes the dermal matrix from the inside out.
The Textile Strigil: Wrap a warm, damp cloth around the fingers and gently pull the oil and impurities from the skin.
The Second Pass: Apply 2 more pumps to a fresh, warm corner of the cloth. Massage again to polish.
The Cold Snap + Seal: Finish with a splash of cold water to wake the tissue and "snap" the pores shut. Press a drop of Best Skin Ever or DewDab into damp skin to seal the glow.

"It’s worth every penny… It honestly took me a couple months to decide on buying this Seabuckthorn BSE. I did a lot of research because I have oily skin, so using an oil on my skin didn’t make sense. I learned from Noy Skincare how to properly cleanse using the oil and bought the oil. I did a skin reset with it, so I only used the oil for 10 days straight—no makeup, no additional skincare products, no sunscreen—and it was so worth it. I had had so many breakouts from a compromised skin barrier, my cheeks were red and inflamed, and with the reset my acne went down, redness vanished, and my acne hyperpigmentation also went down. I was truly amazed. I swear by this and recommend it to anyone having skincare issues and looking for help. This is your answer." — Brenda

“Saved my skin, best product ever! I have had such problematic skin for years. Acne, texture, redness, you name it. After using this product for a week, I saw a difference in how my skin looked and felt. It has made my skin so smooth and has taken away majority if not all of my inflammation. I use it every morning and night and am so happy I gave this product a try.” — Eva 

“I can't stop raving about it to everyone. I have a real problem skin (perioral dermatitis, adult acne and rosacea), so naturally I was skeptical. But now I can't believe how after using your products only for 3 days my skin just came down. It is truly incredible. Thank you.” — Val 

“I bought this for my mom since she was curious about all the things I was buying from LL and she LOVES IT. I told her to massage it into her face since she wanted to use it as a moisturizer and the next morning, her skin looked more plump, soft, dewy, it evened out skin-tone, and some fine lines were filled in. It was amazing and she loves it so much thank you Nadine you are the best at real skincare! ” — Elenna 

“I discovered this heavenly oil during the lockdown of 2020, what a gift. As a woman approaching 40 (a Leo who happens to have a deep appreciation for the sun) I found myself with very temperamental sensitive skin - combination oily-dry, mild rosacea, and sun-kissed spots. Even gentle cleansers were giving me trouble, and I tried many oil-based cleansers with no luck - breakouts or irritation would occur. Enter Sandalwood BSE: it smells amazing - earthy and fresh and bright - and it is truly medicine. It somehow calms and revives, soothes, smoothes and balances my skin like nothing I've tried. Redness has quieted, my decades-long oily vs. dry feud is finally calling a truce, my face glows, my nose thanks you. Please never stop making this! Deep bows.” — Aly 

“This is my first experience using oil for facial cleansing, and I must say, I can't imagine going back to soap. My skin feels smoother, cleaner, and I've noticed fewer breakouts! I follow this with the Frankincense Face Tonic. My skin absorbs it so fast! It's so refreshing.” — Jen 

“I am a skin care junkie, I have some of the most expensive aesthetician products and I wanted some better for my body ingredients; I have gone through 3 bottles of this in 3 months! I did not expect it to be so good for everything: wrinkles, acne, redness, irritated skin etc. My husband, my 16 yr old son, and I all use and love it. I got torn up by mosquitos, it itched sooo bad it welted up and bruised. The ONLY relief I got was putting this on each day. My husband got shave bumps after his shape-up and this took it all away. Any boil, bump or inflammation I've tried it on, it works so well. I won’t be without it.” — Sam 

“Hi, just wanted to tell you that I’ve been struggling with acne for 7 years and I’ve gone through two rounds of accutane and multiple rounds of antibiotics, spironolacitone, and a bunch of other treatments . I was still currently using prescription retin A and still struggling with acne. I’ve been using the frankincense perfect skin, dew dab, and the bejewel balm, and my skin has never been softer and smoother, no breakouts. My skin is the best it’s been in years. Thank you. Thank you.” — Rachel 

“I don't think I've ever left a review for a product in my life. I was having really bad cystic breakouts for about a year and a half and spent a fortune on products and treatments with estheticians. The last person I saw was an "acne specialist" and had me on a 7 step skincare routine which left my skin red and dry and irritated. I heard the owner of LL on a podcast and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad that I did. My breakouts are pretty much gone, the redness has calmed down, and its fading past acne scars. It smells so beautiful and feels so nice going on my skin. I'm using a gentle cleanser once at night and then using the oil for a moisturizer morning and night. Thank you LL!” — Sara 

“This is amazing. I finished the 30 ml and then went ahead and bought the 100 ml. This literally makes your skin look and feel so smooth. I have sensitive skin where my face will get all itchy and red with new stuff and this didn’t do that at all. It’s so gentle and soaks in your skin beautifully. I do have occasional acne whether it’s what I eat or my time of month and I also have acne scars. This soothes it and improves it! Obviously my time of month acne will still come but I feel like this stuff just heals and soothes it when it does come.” — Brooke 

“I have been using this for about a year and it has saved my skin from some serious damage.  I've traveled through various climates -  with harsh winds, sub zero arctic air, desert heat, salty sea beaches, highly chlorinated water and dry air conditioning.  This is the only product that kept my skin glowing, fresh and soft.  I will never use anything else.” — Jen 

“Perfect Pair  It's been almost 10 months since I've birthed my little man, and my skin has not been as glowy and smooth as it once was. My skin was feeling dull, with uneven skin tone, break outs and with lack of sleep... let's just say I wasn't feeling my best. Que @livinglibations Best Skin Ever + Dew Dab... guys, this is THE BEST SKIN CARE PRODUCT hands down, I have ever tried. I went through my first bottle so fast and saw such quick results, I'm hooked. My skin has never been cleaner, smoother, more clarified and glowing! I feel like a beautiful glowing Goddess! Dew Dab diminishes the appearance of redness, red spots, sun spots, fine lines and evens skin tone. Best Skin Ever is a skin cleanser, toner and moisturizer in one. All PURE UNDILUTED PLANT OILS. Can't talk more highly of these products. To top it off, they even smell divine! Nadine, I don't know you, but THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing your alchemy” — Erin 

“Living Libations is a life changer! I have been through hell with my skin and nothing was helping. I was desperate enough to go on an accutane, but I came across Noy Skincare on Instagram in the nick of time where Danna raved about Seabuckthorn cleansing along with tons of other people. So, I took a leap of faith and purchased the product and let me tell you...I AM IN LOVE! It took some patience because my skin purged for a few weeks, but finally started clearing up. My skin is yet to be perfect, but it has come a long way in 6 weeks and I finally feel good about leaving the house without foundation on. I loved this oil so much that I decided to purchase Immortelle & Sandalwood BSE since they are targeted toward acne prone and sensitive skin. I have also purchased many other products and have yet to be disappointed. Thank you so so much for your products!! They are seriously life changing!” — Becca

“I can't believe my eyes! I ordered your skin care a few weeks ago. My skin has not looked so good since I was in high-school. I wish I had before and after pictures (I can’t believe my eyes). I've been dealing with acne for around 5 years. I have always drank tons of water, eaten healthy, changed every home product to hypoallergenic and still continued to have cystic acne and horrible scarring. I have been to 4 different specialties over the years, prescribed everything under the sun. I have tried some of the most expensive skin care products out there and your product has improved my skin, it seems, overnight. I just wanted to thank you for creating something that actually matches the description you market and a product that is giving me my confidence back. I will be recommending this brand to everyone I know.” — Trinity
