There are some people who love beauty and grooming products. They obsess over the ritual of cleansing and getting ready. I’m not really one of those people. I’m more of a wash-my-face-put-on-a-shirt type person. That said, I do believe in daily maintenance, and there are few things as important as good skin.

One of my favorite products is the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate. This is a lightweight, overnight repair treatment that repairs, replenishes, and regenerates the skin for a smoother, healthier look. I would say it makes your skin feel super soft and cared for, while also making your complexion brighter and more luminous. Basically, it makes you look good.

It’s 99.8% naturally-derived, and paraben-free, which is right in line with how I like my beauty products — as simple (and effective) as possible.

I use this serum as part of a bedtime ritual. Using the dropper, put a few drops on your fingers, and then massage into your skin. Literally takes 30 seconds, and you’re ready for bed.

As I said, this is naturally-derived, and the smells is quite lovely. Evening Primrose and Lavender essential oil give you a burst of natural fragrance, while also helping to sooth irritated skin. After a long day, the scent of the lavender essential oil also acts as a de-stressor.

A little bit goes a long way, so it’s a worthwhile investment. I’ve had the same bottle for over a year, and I still have plenty to use.
