As someone in their forties and also the founder of a skincare brand, having glowing skin is essential – especially during the summer. Feeling confident with no-makeup bare skin is a gift I want to share with everyone. I created these products with you as my muse, but also, I can’t live without them myself!

Here’s a curated bundle of my favorite Botnia actives: Skin Brightening Set.

This set includes my essential summer products: Essential Enzymes, Well Serum, and Wisdom Oil. Specifically targeted for sun-loved skin, each product features its own active plant ingredients to aid in cell regeneration and has given me clear, bright, and more even skin.

What’s in the set:

Essential Enzymes (Travel size)

I’m obsessed with this cream cleanser and think everyone should have it in their home apothecary. It smells like heaven! It has an acidic pH that helps benefit the long term health of the skin by gently turning over skin cells – which is really beneficial for wise skin types and sun-kissed skin. As we age, our skin slows down cell turnover and the pomegranate enzymes and juniper hydrosol in this cleanser will aid in removing dead skin cells. Nutritious and nurturing shea butter helps to bind moisture and condition the skin. 

I added lactic acid into the formulation that makes this product slightly acidic, which is really beneficial for the acid mantle: you don’t need to use a toner afterward, especially if you have sensitive skin. If you feel you’re missing out on a toner, incorporate a hydrosol instead. 

I love this multipurpose product because Essential Enzymes doubles as a mask treatment when left on the skin a few minutes longer. You can also mix this with our powdered masks once a week into your routine.

Well Serum (Full Size)

I had to include my revolutionary new retinol alternative, Well Serum, which is the most active product in our repertoire. It’s a next generation retinoid that’s biome-friendly and won’t leave the skin irritated and sensitive. It helps with cell turnover and is an incredible ally for the skin. Well Serum is packed with nutritious nutrient dense oils that help to repair the skin. Hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and algae provide vital nutrition for the skin cells themselves. The vitamin A in the algae extract we use (haematococcus pluvialis) gets to the retinoid that helps our skin produce retinol and aids in the cellular process to create glowy, dewy skin. I’ve noticed lighter pigmentation, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, and fewer breakouts since incorporating Well Serum into my skincare routine.

Wisdom Oil (Full Size)

This is the oil that I use everyday and can’t get enough of. I’m obsessed with it! Wisdom Oil is an incredible skin ally because it's so nutrient dense with a combination of sea buckthorn oil, rosehip seed oil, and red raspberry oil, which helps repair and incorporates fatty acids for the skin. Vitamin C naturally exists in these plants that help promote skin health. Antioxidants also add in a support system for the skin. I really notice a difference in brightening of pigmentation and the quality in the conditioning of my skin. It smells like herbal tea - bright and crisp. I love Wisdom Oil for people who spend a lot of time in the sun. *Please note: Wisdom Oil is contraindicated for pregnancy because of clary sage essential oil.

How to use Skin Brightening Set:

Cleanse your skin with Essential Enzymes. Rinse off.

If needed, spritz your favorite hydrosol after cleansing. (My favorite right now is Lavender Hydrosol.)

Follow up with one pump of Well Serum to freshly cleansed skin both morning and night (or use once daily). 

Apply Wisdom Oil on top of all your skincare to help condition the skin and reduce sun damage with high antioxidant rose hips. Pair with Well Serum for an incredible duo for antioxidant support for the skin.

As a weekly mask treatment, you can apply Essential Enzymes as a standalone mask or mixed with a powdered mask of your choice.

Don’t forget, when you order any set, you also save 10% on my curated skincare bundles. I hope you use in good health!
