What does luxury mean to you? For some, it’s mega-yachts and door knocker-sized diamonds. For others, maybe it’s just a day away from the family or a long soak with great spa products for an hour “away.” One of my ideas of luxury would be to have a car and a driver to take me everywhere, so I never have to drive. However, when it comes to luxury beauty, especially skincare, the priciest products in the world won’t be helpful if they’re not right for you. That said, the brands in this story are a little bit of a splurge. These are clean beauty products (and a novel way to send everlasting flowers). Which ones will you be adding to your “must-have” list?
Good Things Come in Threes: 
Tri Balm 3 in 1 and Tri Body Treatment 3 by Frances Prescott are gender-neutral, natural multitasking skincare that really makes your skincare routines easier and more luxurious. Tri-Balm is suitable for all skin types and, as always, contains no harmful chemicals, parabens, silicones, or synthetics I love multi-taskers that help you get through your skincare routine more quickly and easily. I also love these for travel.
Swivel up the tube of Tri-Balm and cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize in one step. It’s created with natural ingredients and it has vitamin A and C to help refine and brighten the skin. Hyaluronic acid and moisturizing oils hydrate and seal in moisture.
But that’s not all Tri-Balm can do. It’s a cruelty-free blend of natural wheat germ, sweet almond, and blackcurrant oils that work together to cleanse. It also has a pumpkin seed enzyme that feels silky but don’t be fooled — it gently exfoliates for softer, smoother, glowing skin.
Emulsify it with water and then rinse it away, or apply it and tissue it off if you don’t have a water source nearby. How great is that?!
The tube of Tri Body Treatment is a gel to a milky cleanser that polishes and conditions with a multi-tasking formula including multi-vitamins, a blend of oils, and lipids to moisturize. Bamboo granules and enzyme extract smooth and polish, while fatty acids, seaweed extract helps to tone. . Ylang Ylang, black pepper, plus vetiver and lime essential oils make exfoliation smell divine!

Luxury Beauty in a Bar and a Jar:
I love beauty bars that are indulgent. One that really works on your well-being, as well as your skin, is the Payot Nourishing Face & Body Massage Bar With Rosemary Essential Oil, (1.7 oz./$21). You can see the eco-friendly packaging in the first photo of this story. Use it on dry skin to massage and relax your skin and your mind. This vegan bar is made from only nine ingredients of 100% natural origin and contains no synthetic fragrances. It’s a little indulgence and it’s great for when you’re traveling and need to unwind and moisturize.
The Payot Herbier Universal Face Cream with Lavender ($4o/1.7 fl. oz.) in my first photo is truly a jar of indulgence. The lavender essential oil smells so soothing and relaxing. Your skin feels renewed with ingredients that are 97.7% natural. olive and sunflower oils, the Universal Face Cream immediately softens and moisturizes the skin with a luxury beauty bonus of a light texture that melts into your skin quickly. There are lots of moisturizers you can choose from, but this day/night cream is my favorite to help promote some much sweeter dreams! Visit the Payot Website to learn more.
Instant Results in an Eye Cream:
Onå New York blends native to Eastern Europe and North-East Asia ingredients with non-toxic actives and science-driven ingredients from Korea. The products are vegan and cruelty-free. Onå New York claims instant and long-term benefits with six products to combat pollution and UV damage and strengthen skin from within. One I tried is the Onå New YorkBrightening Eye Cream full of peptides and Vitamin E in a “signature ABC Complex.”
This Signature ABC Complex is a blend of 5 highly effective ingredients (Açaí Berry, Aloe Vera, Birch Tree Extract, Camelia Oil, and Centella Asiatica) that provides lasting hydration, and protects from environmental damage. It also reduces signs of aging by stimulating collagen. The product also doesn’t have any sulfates / parabens / formaldehyde / artificial coloring / dimethicone / mineral oil / phthalate. Since it’s good for all skin types, even sensitive skin, I gave this luxury beauty product a try:
My Test:
An outer carton has a cute scene black and white scene of midtown New York City featuring a yellow taxi and a yellow stoplight. it’s really cute. But the really nice thing inside the carton is the delivery system on the tube. It’s an elegant clear plastic that helps you deliver the right amount of product.
I smoothed it on one eye to see if it really did work as claimed and immediately took this selfie. I try a lot of products so I can afford to be dubious. But, wow! You can see that one eye has a lot less of a deep circle and is less puffy too. I’m going to be using this a lot!! Well worth it. ($42/0.5 fl. oz.). Visit the Ona New York Website
