While HydraFacials, Peels, and Facials are a great way to correct your skincare woes, there’s another (at-home!) treatment to try: CosMedix face masks. These three masks are designed to tackle some of the most common skincare issues — think dryness, redness, sensitive, acne-prone skin, and the list goes on — to provide you with a more radiant, healthy-looking complexion.
As if we didn’t already have enough to love in the Kevin.Murphy family, the brand debuts its newest product: Shimmer.Me Blonde. And yes, it’s love at first sight (er, spray). Like the original, gold-flecked Shimmer.Shine, Shimmer.Me Blonde ($28) is a repairing shine treatment that works overtime on your hair. Let us count the ways.

NuFace’s new Prep-N-Glow cloths are a beauty bag must-have. These easy-to-use wipes remove dirt, oil, makeup, and other impurities that leave you with a soft and cleansed complexion.
Nuface’s dual-sided cloths are designed to cleanse, hydrate, and gently exfoliate your skin. First, use the smooth side to cleanse your face. The soft cotton side removes makeup, dirt, and oil to leave you with a smooth, unblemished complexion. Then, switch to the textured side to gently exfoliate your skin. The micro-dots remove impurities that are trapped in your pores. Both sides of the cloth contain hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and minerals, all of which give you a refreshed and beautifully glowing complexion.
“I always carry these Prep-N-Glow Cloths in my bag. After a workout, I’ll quickly cleanse my face with these cloths to remove any sweat and dirt. I love how it gives my skin a refreshed and clean feeling.” — Summer S., Managing Director of Operations
NuFace’s Prep-N-Glow Cloths are free of oil, alcohol, and parabens. You can use these wipes as part of your daily routine and they’re ideal for prepping before a NuFace treatment.
NuFace is the brainchild of famed esthetician Carol Cole. As an esthetician, her clients would always ask her for anti-aging product recommendations. With the help of her daughters, Carol decided to launch the first NuFace device in 2005. NuFace devices utilize non-invasive microcurrent technology and help to reduce signs of aging. They are the only FDA-certified, at-home, non-invasive devices on the market.
NuFace’s Prep-N-Glow Cloths are available at all milk + honey locations.

Next time you’re feelin’ those aches and pains, reach for nature’s antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory herb: arnica. Used as a cure for everything from sprains to eczema, this plant has been used as a homeopathic remedy for centuries.
Known as Arnica montana, Arnica is a bright, yellow, daisy-like flower found in the mountains and upland meadows in Europe, Siberia, and North America. Legend has it that this plant was first discovered by humans after watching injured goats trek up a mountain in search of Arnica to heal themselves. The first documented medical use of this flowering plant dates back to the 1500s; although, many historians believe it has been used in healing remedies since the Middle Ages.
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Arnica is packed with the natural chemical, helenalin. This potent compound works to relieve trauma and speed up the healing time of bruises. Arnica reduces swelling by stimulating the body’s white blood cells. This causes a breakdown of fluid and excess blood that’s trapped within muscles, joints, and bruises. But that’s not all. To speed up recovery from bruises, it increases the number of white blood cells within the body to stop busted capillaries from bleeding into the surrounding tissue. Along with aiding in swelling and bruises, it’s been proven to treat and temporarily relieve pain. Recent studies have even found that it’s a safe alternative to treat arthritis pain.
To get the inside scoop on arnica, we asked our 2nd Street District massage therapist, Terri, how she uses our popular Arnica Balm during massages. “Arnica can be used in any massage, not just a Deep Tissue or Sports Massage,” she says. When treating a client, Terri will ask them which specific areas need more attention. Before the massage, she’ll pre-treat certain areas that clients have indicated as target spots in order to relax the muscles and alleviate any soreness they might feel after their treatment. After the massage, Terri will tell her clients how to use the balm to soothe muscle or joint pain. “I suggest that clients use the balm before working out or doing any type of physical activity to loosen up the joints and muscles. Then, after any strenuous workouts, I’ll tell them to get a small amount of the balm and really work it into a particular area.”
Formulated with organic ginger extract, eucalyptus oil, and a high concentration of Arnica flower oil and flower extract, our potent Arnica Balm increases blood circulation to heal aches, pains, and bruises faster.
Use it in a bath or as a targeted spot treatment, Bath & Body Oil No. 18 soothes sore muscles while creating a hydrating protective barrier on your skin.
Relieve muscle and body tension with Muscle Soak No. 18. Sea salt and Epsom salt draw out toxins from the body while Arnica promotes faster healing.
Post-workout soreness is uncomfortable and can make it tough to move “normally” throughout the day. Muscle soreness occurs due to a build-up of lactic acid and this accumulation of lactic acid occurs when your muscles swell and are utilized in an intense workout. While our Sports Massage is a great way to alleviate this soreness, our newest retailer, RAD, offers innovative and functional massage and muscle release tools.

Winter is coming. While winter in Texas is relatively mild, your skin still feels the effects of the change in climate. In fact, many of us may start to notice our skin becoming tighter, itchier, and rougher — the tale-tale signs of winter skin. That’s where Baudelaire body brushes come in handy.
