With all that is going on in the world right now, I have had a lot of stress and have been feeling anxious which has been impacting my skin. I decided to give my skin a breather, not wear much makeup (only about once a week), and focus on using whole-ingredient skincare from For The Biome as a way to reset my skin! I've been using their Vegan Starter Set that includes their Empower Powder 2-in-1, Adapt Essence Spray, and Shield Face Serum and have been loving my results so far! Bonus that the face powder smells like oatmeal cookies (it has oats, cloves, cinnamon among some of the ingredients!)
Step 1: Empower Powder 2-in-1
Use the Empower Powder 2-in-1 mask cleanser duo first to retain hydration and spark cell renewal. Just spoon some out into the Tool Kit bowl, add water, mix, and apply to skin. For regular use, I apply all over face but for photo purposes I just did a little swatch. After you’ve washed your face off and are feeling fresh and clean, it’s time for step 2!
About the Product:
This artisanally fermented mask and cleanser duo bestows the skin with nature’s most potent hydrators including our clinically studied aloe vera which increases skin hydration by 100% within one hour of application for a firmer, smoother complexion. - For the Biome
Step 2: Adapt Essence Spray
Spritz Adapt Essence Spray on face and neck for dewy hydration. The spray acts as a standalone moisturizer.
About the Product:
Replenish your microbiome with this feast of prebiotic nutrients and adaptogenic mushrooms as they guard against blue light radiation and help skin adapt to stress for a dewy complexion. - For the Biome
Step 3: Shield Face Serum
After the Adapt Essence Spray, apply the Shield Face Serum and massage into skin. This acts as a moisturizer on your damp skin, seals in hydration, and activates your shield.
About the Product:
Astaxanthin stands guard against free radical damage as restorative rosehip and 6 botanicals deliver moisture to the skin’s deepest layers with the elevated bioactivity that can only be found in volcanic CO2 extracts. - For the Biome
And that’s a wrap!
I have a new found appreciation for balancing my skin and microbiome. By using natural and whole ingredients, I not only feel better about my skin but about my health and what I’m putting on my body. The skin is our largest organ and we need to protect it by using products with safe ingredients!
If you’re interested in trying out For the Biome for yourself, I suggest checking out their Discovery Trial Set. This is a good way to see which products you like best at a fraction of the price and to see if it’s a good fit for you and your skin! If you’re vegan and don’t use honey, I would suggest the Vegan Start Set. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about my experience, I’m an open book! Stay safe and healthy friends!
XO, Al
