Hot Shop: April 2, 2012

Our favourite Australian skincare company, Aesop, is now available throughout Canada and has just arrived in Toronto. We have heard wonders about this product line so we thought we would highlight a few of our favourites from what we have tried for this week’s edition of Hot Shop. The products are available at Oliver Spencer in Toronto, Want in Montreal, and Holt Renfrew in Vancouver.  

For the YP lady, we love…

Parsley Seed Anti-Oxidant Eye Serum
Less heavy than its cream counterpart, this serum is great for something lighter for the warmer months. It is light enough that it is quick to absorb but hydrating enough to protect all skin types. The serum is greaseless, silicone-free and designed for everyday use.It is made with parsley seed, lavender and blue chamomile and contains vitamins C and E. This combination works to soothe, hydrate and calm stressed and delicate skin under the eyes. It also works to de-puff your eyes in the morning and alleviate dark circles. The parsley seed extract is an anti-oxidant ingredient that has significant protective benefits. The serum comes in a brown dropper bottle, which allows for easy and functional application and avoids wasting the product.

For the YP gentleman, we love…

Moroccan Neroli Shaving Serum
This very low-foaming, botanical alternative is designed for everyday facial shaving needs and allows a close shave for all skin types,lubricating and calming the skin as you shave. It provides maximum slip rather than maximum foam, which can strip the skin, aggravating it and leaving it feeling raw. It is rich with skin-softening, anti-inflammatory and hydrating aloe vera, sandalwood and neroli blossom extracts, and free of silicone. This serum won’t block the pores and conditions the skin to give a great shave with guaranteed less irritation. Available in 50ml and 100ml bottles.
