gara skincare / youth serum

Restore, nourish, and repair your skin with this unique blend of herbs, hydrosols and oils. Infused with full-spectrum plant extracts and freshly distilled aromatic hydrosols, this botanical formula calms and replenishes the skin for a healthy, vibrant glow. Potent herbs of calendula, yarrow, carrot seed, and helichrysum, enhance nutrient absorption and help to stimulate natural cell regeneration and repair. Inhale its floral, earthy-sweet aroma and enliven your mind, body and spirit with every use.

HOW TO USE
Shake with intention before use. After cleansing, apply 1-2 pumps to the face and neck. Gently massage for enhanced absorption. For best results, use morning and evening. This silky-smooth serum can be used as a stand-alone or in conjunction with other moisturizers and/or makeup.

PROTIP: After cleansing face and neck, sprtiz generously with one of our seasonal hydrosols. Once the skin feels nearly dry but still dewy, apply 1-2 pumps of the Youth Serum to face and neck. Try the Rose Geranium for extra hydration, Orange Blossom for irritated or troubled skin, or Calendula for soothing sun or environmental damage. Each hydrosol is unique, yet all are nourishing and balancing to the skin. Trust your intuition, try the one that calls to you.

TARGETED NOURISHMENT
Gently dab around the eyes for a boost of hydration and tone. Many estheticians and massage therapists turn to the Youth Serum as a finishing touch at the end of a treatment. With its delicate blend of hydrosols and oils, this formula is light on the skin. It leaves the client feeling radiant and refreshed, with an uplifting aroma and a smooth, silken feel.
