Lilac 11 Be Well Skincare Kit
Lilac 11 is all about the personal growth that comes from moments spent taking a breath and being truly present, the company said. Each of Lilac 11’s Be Well for the Moment kits contain thoughtfully-formulated products. Use the essential oils on your wrist, or hydrate with the facial toning mist, and soothe your lips with the butter balm. Pick your favorite product, and inhale and exhale to a count of five on three separate occasions for 30 seconds. Take the moment to ground, calm and energize.
The Invigorating Lip Balm provides moisture and nourishment for dry or damaged lips, while the Unwind Essential Oil Rollerball is a take-anywhere dose of Zen to help calm and unwind. To restore alertness, enhance cerebral activity and energize, the Uplift Essential Oil Rollerball is a great go-to. Lastly, rescue dehydrated skin on the go with a light mist of Revive Hydrating Toner.
Each Lilac 11 product is held to clean beauty standards and is paraben-free, palm-oil free, cruelty free, vegan and all-natural. The company reports that its Be Well for the Moment kits will be included in this year’s “Everyone Wins” Nominee Gift Bags to be given to Oscar nominees in the major acting and directing categories.
