Boscia Skincare: Ditch Your Heavy Moisturizer & Lighten Up

Boscia Skincare: Ditch Your Heavy Moisturizer & Lighten Up

This summer ditch your heavy moisturizer or opt for a tinted sunscreen instead of foundation and keep a refreshing facial spray with you at all times! Finding the right moisturizer and moisturizing routine for our west coast weather can be challenging—almost as tricky as settling on a cleanser. But that does not mean it is an impossible task and one we recommend you take the time to sort out because a greasy face on a muggy Vancouver day just feels yucky.

This alcohol-free hydrating and soothing toning mist is infused with rosewater and witch hazel for a dewy and glowy finish.   You can use the mist for a variety of purposes, whether that be after cleanser, before or after makeup, or throughout the day for a refresh. It works to absorb excess oil, tighten pores and soothe the skin, making it ideal for combination skin types. The rosewater acts as a hydrator and skin softener, in addition to helping the skin maintain its natural pH balance and tighten pores. Witch hazel cleanses and tones the skin, combats excess oils, reduces inflammation, and supports the healing of scars and breakouts. The powerful pairing is complemented by added aloe vera which is a potent hydrator and soothes redness, inflammation, irritation, and burns.

An antioxidant-rich Japanese green tea soothing and nourishing lightweight moisturizer is exactly what you need for sensitive, irritated, or acne-prone skin. Green tea has been proven to significantly reduce sebum production though assisting in balancing the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial ingredient that performs similarly to benzoyl peroxide. In addition, the burdock root helps absorb excess oil and shine, and makes for a smooth, even surface for makeup application. Another key ingredient, marine complex, helps prevent [remayure aging and repair the skin from damage caused by environmental stressors and sun damage. Use 1-2 pumps of this moisturizer in the morning, night, or both on cleansed and toned skin.
