Plump It Up With Pestle and Mortar
Pittsburgh weather is very predictable in the sense that we know it’s never able to be predicted. One minute it’s raining and the next it’s sunny and 70 degrees. This back and forth effect can wreak havoc on our skin. Take for example my usual combination skin has been dry as the Sahara Desert as of late. Luckily for me, I stumbled upon a miracle in a bottle.
If you aren’t familiar with hyaluronic acid, you really need to reevaluate your life. Hyaluronic Acid (HA), occurs naturally in our bodies. Being one of the most water-loving molecules in nature, it’s often described as “nature’s moisturizer.” Sadly for us, it majorly depletes as we age. Our skin loses its ability to produce HA and we are plagued with cracks, dryness and whatever else our bodies subject us to.
Enter Pestle and Mortar. They are an innovative beauty and body wellness company born from personal experience. Sonia Deasy founded the company in 2014 when she took notice of how dry and dull skin appeared through the professional lens of her husband, Padraic. With her frequent travel, airplane dryness also was a major culprit in the changing texture of her own skin.
Deasy wanted to prevent premature aging while remaining hassle-free and Pestle and Mortar was born. They provide an easy to apply solution for all skin types and all ethnicities. We’re fur friendly, so the fact that the Pure Hyaluronic Serum is paraben-free, propylene glycol-free, fragrance-free and not tested on animals was just the tip of the plump iceberg. It also works! And who doesn’t love that?
Within first use of their Pure Hyaluronic Serum ($69), I saw an instant improvement in the texture of my skin. This is a rare product that works in days – not months. If you’re impatient, look no further.
This serum contains our beloved hyaluronic acid which is proven to hydrate and soothe even the most sensitive skin while also smoothing fine lines and restoring youthful elasticity. I have also used this as a makeup primer and it gives a velvet finish to my foundation without the dreaded makeup breakup.
The lightweight formula, with added Vitamin E, comes in a glass bottle with a dropper applicator. I have incorporated this into my daily routine and have seen a major improvement – but don’t take my word for it! It’s now one of the hottest beauty products thanks to a rave review in The New York Times.
Give it a shot. The worst that could happen is luminous skin.
