Healthy aging starts with your skin

Aging well is about more than genetics; it’s about your daily habits. And that includes how you treat your skin. Think sunscreen’s just for beach days? Or body lotion is only for dry legs? The scientists at OneSkin have proven once again that the right products can make a big difference in the look, feel, and overall health of your skin.

Take their OS-01 FACE SPF. Not only is it an award-winner, it blocks UV rays while undoing the UV-induced skin aging you already have. And in a 12-week study, OS-01 BODY was shown to actually pause skin’s biological age in addition to improving hydration and skin texture.01

You can try all OneSkin’s products with 15% off using code FLYOVER at oneskin.co. When you shop Labor Day weekend, Friday, August 30-Monday, September 2, you’ll also get up to 3 free gifts with your purchase—that’s up to a $117 value.
