Aftelier has several new natural skincare items to tempt you this holiday. Shown is Geranium Cleansing Oil ("...a nourishing oil cleanser that can be rinsed off with warm water. Wild-harvested geranium essential oil was the best choice for the scent, with its gorgeous fresh, green, rosy aroma, and known for enhancing skin repair, reducing inflammation, superior toning, and anti-bacterial properties"; 33 ml for $35), and you might also consider Lavender Face Elixir ("Our lightweight face elixir is immediately absorbed softening and conditioning your skin. Use on your clean face before bed, and drift off to sleep in a light veil of fragrance that promotes relaxation. When you wake up, your skin will feel wonderfully nourished and revitalized."; 20 ml for $70). The one I really want was already in the mix and I've possibly included in a daily lemming already: Jasmine Face Elixir ("This delightful jasmine aroma is uplifting and relaxing. Drifting off to sleep inhaling this gorgeous aroma makes you feel as if all is right in the world"; 20 ml for $70).
It would be nice to have one of these in my purse. Not $80 nice, mind you, but nice. If they mark them down to 75% off, I might buy one. Rodin's new Face Oil Sticks, available in Jasmine & Neroli ("If you're a fan of Rodin's 'Luxury Face Oil Jasmine & Neroli', then you're going to love this version - it's sized to fit in a tote and has a smooth, balm-like texture that melts beautifully into your skin.
