After a final glorious week of summer spent in the much-awaited sun (I lathered on the sunscreen, but had to indulge myself in a little sun-time after a rainy Northeaster summer) and saltwater, my skin is paying me back -- dry, flakey and blotchy. I've been treating my dehydrated skin night and day with the serum. It is tremendously calming and healing while the smell of chamomile, ylang ylang, myrrh and rosemary is wonderfully relaxing. It is almost enough to lift my spirits now that summer is over.
