About AMEŌN Skin,

Ameōn was founded by Alina Mehrle to create 'the most gentle and effective products using the best of natural, active plant-based and biotech ingredients that work for everyone.' The name AMEON is a portmanteau: Âme means 'soul' in French, and ON is from their motto - 'Turn ON your skin's potential'.

Alina Mehrle trained as an architect and worked in design and visual art, founding her own interior design company in New York. She had her future mapped out as a designer. But then at the age of 30, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Alina says: 'Eight sessions of chemo (and living in New York City) left my skin fragile and dehydrated. It was such a challenge to bring my skin back to life that I realized I had to launch a skincare brand. We spent 2 years developing 5 core products that nourish and heal damaged skin. With my breast cancer in remission, I owe this second chance at life to my family’s love and the achievements of modern medicine. I firmly believe that creating great skincare products requires striking the proper balance between nature and the achievements of modern science.'

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I would like to take this opportunity to pay attention to your body, take care of yourself, get that breast exam, take that nap without feeling guilty, breathe slower.

The Contents of the October Skincare Box ($170.00 value):

AMEŌN Baby Buddha Calming Serum ($60.00)
AMEŌN Holy Cream Diamond Moisturizer ($85.00)
AMEŌN Headband ($25.00)

AMEŌN Skin Baby Buddha Calming Serum (Value: $60.00 for 1 oz.): This otherworldly serum, which is formulated for all types of skin, was conceived to restore and heal the skin. It is deeply hydrating, unmistakably calming, and it leaves skin with a dewy glow. It is lightweight, fast-absorbing and it is composed of healing, calming and soothing ingredients such as probiotics and prebiotics that help to balance the skin's microbiomes. As noted by Boxwalla, "Edelweiss’s cell culture extract protects against oxidative stress while restoring photo-aged skin"... and it "strengthens the skin barrier & helps reduce signs of sensitivity...." For me, this serum, which has no detectable fragrance, leaves my skin soft, smooth, supple, hydrated, calm and luminous. In fact, my skin looks and feels so good, as a result of using this magical elixir, that I plan to buy another bottle before this one is empty.

According to AMEŌN,

Baby Buddha Calming Serum contains Lactobacillus ferment (a probiotic) that in turn strengthens the skin’s ability to defend itself from irritants and stressors while our powerful blend of prebiotics and plant extracts help balance your microbiome. Your skin will feel smooth, revealing a glowing, healthier-looking complexion.

Directions: Apply one or two drops onto clean, damp skin twice daily, morning and night. Gently pat into skin for optimal absorption. Follow with moisturizer.

AMEŌN Skin Holy Cream Diamond Moisturizer (Value: $85.00 for 1.7 oz.): This glorious cream, which is bejeweled with a crystal on the lid, is likewise made for all types of skin. Formulated with an effective combination of plant oils, peptides and bioferments, this ultra-luxe cream is quite emollient and fast absorbing. It melts into the skin, it boasts a velvety smooth texture and it leaves skin calm, smooth, nourished, moisturized and radiant. Macademia Oil moisturizes, nourishes and softens the skin, and ingredients such as antioxidant-rich Edelweiss protect the skin against free-radical damage while reducing inflammation. My skin can be quite sensitive at times, and this is one of the most effective calming moisturizers that I have tried in ages. It also works wonders after exfoliating the skin since it effectively calms any irritation. Like the serum, there is no detectable aroma, and therefore it should pose no problem for people with sensitive skin and noses.

According to AMEŌN Skin,

Is your skin feeling dull, dry, or like a bad case of the Mondays when your coffee goes cold? Clean, lightweight, and powerful, Holy Cream Diamond Moisturizer immediately delivers vital moisture to skin through the power of gentle plant oils and potent peptides while enhancing firmness for a supple, even surface, and luminous, natural glow.

Best served as a luxurious daily ritual, Holy Cream promotes a life-long skin rejuvenation journey that strengthens with continued use. Consider this an everyday self-love essential that instantly begins to heal your precious dermis from the inside-out from the first application.

Directions: After the serum, apply in light strokes to the face and neck without over-massaging. For daytime use, follow with sunscreen.

AMEŌN Skin Headband (Value $12.00): This is, without question, my very favorite headband. First, it is purple, which has been my favorite color my whole life, but it also has a velvety soft texture that feels glorious against the skin. As Boxwalla notes, it really does "elevate your daily skincare ritual." It effectively keeps your hair– any texture and any length– off of your face while cleansing and applying all skincare products.

According to AMEŌN Skin,

Upgrade your skincare ritual with AMEŌN Spa Headband. Designed with you in mind from soft stretch velvet for the ideal fit and provides a lightweight and comfortable feeling. The headband is perfect for keeping hair out of the face when cleansing, masking or applying makeup. Superior & flexible even your hair is thick, prosperous or curly. One size really does fit all.

Directions: Fix around the hairline before starting skincare ritual. Easy care machine washable- just lay flat to dry.
