👯♀️ FRIENDS AND BRANDS
These additions to my bathroom shelf were on my wishlist since LESSE launched in 2018. The organic skin care brand by Neada Deters focusses on high performance botanicals and sustainable practices. The bioactive mask made from purifying charcoal & rare flame tree will sneak into my weekly Sunday self care ritual next to the refining cleanser 🧖🏻♀️ . The two independent (and worth checking out) online stores Ara` Kai Beauty and La Gent both ship to Germany until the brand itself will extend their intl shipping options. (LINK)
