Why I Use Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate
There come’s a time when you run out of your favorite products, so, you decide to explore some options with different brands. I usually stick to the same brands, because I know the effects they have on my skin and I take my skincare very seriously, as you should know by now. However, I was walking past the Aesop store and I hadn’t known much about the store other than that they always have the most exotic incense burning outside the shop. I went in and was introduced to the most beautiful perfumes and hand scrubs, as well as, facial masks. I was talking to the store associate about my skincare routine and they introduced me to the Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate. I sampled it on my hand and notice how soft and hydrated it made my skin. Since is was out of Niacinamide I decided to take the samples offered by the shop associate. I can now say that I have a second favorite skincare brand. Definitely will be looking into the full line of fragrances and skincare products. This serum is a must have for pump, hydrated, and radiant skin.
