When was the last time that you really did something for yourself (not to mention had it be personalized for you)? I’m not talking about a treat at the gas station or an upgrade from the barista – I’m talking about an investment in your own well-being. It often takes either a pressing, emergency-level need or a really good bargain for me to make the investment in myself. I’m working to change that, and starting with my skin.

Our friends at Geologie, a 22-time award-winning skin care, hair care, and body care brand, have the aforementioned really good bargain. In partnership with Next Luxury, Geologie is offering a whopping 70% off their one-month personalized sample set. The sample set is the key to starting a healthy skincare routine, and Geologie does its part to make sure it’s just what YOU need.

Who is Geologie?

If you’ve missed our earlier transmissions about Geologie, we’ll fill you in quickly – it’s been a favorite among Next Luxury for the last year, and I’ve personally enjoyed watching Geologie rake in awards and acknowledgments through their time in the market (they’re up to 22 awards now, impressive!). Its acclaim is growing in tandem with its offerings, and its collection has expanded to include personalized options for all types of needs.

Geologie prides itself in taking a highly personalized and approachable angle to skin care, hair care, and body care. In Geologie’s own words, “We live by the idea that personal care should be fun and sensorial, without skimping on results. With that in mind, we create products that work. Backed by facts, not fads.” 

Geologie says it all there – all that’s left to say is that we can’t get enough. You’ll feel the same once you get the full understanding of what’s in it for you. Read on for a breakdown of what’s to be found in the Sample Kit, as well as how you’ll make sure it’s just what YOU need.

How to Build a Personalized Skincare Routine – Geologie’s Set

Geologie is all about creating a personalized experience, which starts with getting a clear understanding of your needs and desires when it comes to a skincare routine. The first step in securing your personalized sample kit at 70% off is completing a quick Skincare Quiz that Geologie has designed to extract just how they can help you accomplish your goals. 

In taking the quiz myself, I found that the questions were insightful while also straightforward. Having expertise I can trust right in front of me is a lot less daunting than going up to ask a question of an employee at a store (especially when you might not know what to ask!).

Based on your results and preferences, your sample kit will include a mix of products that address your personal areas of concern. To give you an idea of what’s coming, here are a few of Geologie’s formulations that you’ll be sure to count on within the kit. 

• Face Wash. Geologie’s two proprietary face washes are game changers, especially for someone that NEEDS simplicity to keep up with a new routine. The Face Washes mainly aim to physically wash away dirt and oil, while quietly working hard to reduce inflammation for continually clearer skin. This step is really important for folks that are looking to win long-standing battles with acne, while also integral for anyone in search of generally healthy skin.
  
• Moisturizing Cream with SPF15. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my friends in the skincare world, it’s that you HAVE to protect yourself from the sun. Geologie knows this – its Moisturizing Cream contains an SPF15 sunscreen, multi-tasking diligently to deeply hydrate and protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays all day long.
  
• Retinol Night Cream. While the Moisturizing Cream works hard through the day, Geologie’s Retinol Night Cream (the dark avenger of the set) takes the night shift. Fighting off signs of aging, acne, and excess oil while you sleep, the Night Cream ensures smoother and younger-looking skin overnight.
  
• Eye Cream. Geologie’s Eye Cream is the product that was TRULY made for you, especially if you’re reading this late at night on a bright screen a few inches from your face. Your eyes deserve the backup! With the Eye Cream worked into your routine, you can combat dark circles, puffiness, and eye bags for a refreshed and revitalized look.

Start the Process With Geologie

So, you’ve made the commitment and now you have an idea of how to build a personalized skincare routine. You’re going to invest in yourself and pick up Geologie’s Sample Kit to start your skincare journey. Wondering how you can maximize the results? You’re in control there!

My best advice? Be consistent. Like most things in this life, it’s all about your ability to keep the rhythm. Luckily, we’re talking a total of four minutes a day. To see initial results in just a few weeks, consistently take two minutes every morning and evening to complete this skincare routine. The routine is designed to be simple and hassle-free—don’t make it harder than it needs to be!

What are you waiting for? You can start your quiz for personalized results and grab the Sample Kit for 70% using Next Luxury’s exclusive link and code NEXTLUXURY70.

If you’ve been around for more than a minute, you’re no stranger to Geologie. Over the past few years, Geologie has made a name for itself in making skin, body, and hair care accessible to all types with its quality-first, scientifically-formulated product line. While Geologie already raked in over 22 awards since its founding, it’s going for another title: best smell! How’s that for a yearbook superlative?

All jokes aside – Geologie has aligned its product mix with three unique and proprietary fragrance profiles, leaving the hardest decision in your court. Which matches your style? Sit back and think, because we’ll be breaking down their three profiles, sharing some tips on how to make your choice, and making sure you get the low-down on how these super scents are working for you.

A Scent From Each Corner of the World

As if Geologie’s signature grooming line wasn’t solid enough, it really brings the heat and elevates its Natural Deodorant and Body Washes with Big Sur, Hana, and Moab at the helm of the sensory experience. Let’s break it down, using Geologie’s expert description of your sensory journey:

Hana with Deep Jasmine

A rip curl of sweet, seductive jasmine tones transports you from your bath mat into your very own nude beach.

Big Sur with Fresh Eucalyptus

Slices of orange, lemon, and eucalyptus cider cut with hints of ginger blend into a spellbound shower escape.

Moab with Bergamot & Juniper

We’ve bottled the Great Outdoors: musky red rock canyons, crisp river rapid spray, and floral bergamot fruitiness.

Your very own nude beach?! Sign me up! These scents are all winners and having tried each, Moab has become my personal favorite, but all of Geologie’s offerings skillfully walk the thin line of unisex fragrance. I’m most impressed that in my mind, at least, each scent remains pretty genderless as the experience revolves primarily around the sensory experience of the great outdoors.

Even better than the scents is the effectiveness of the deodorants as a whole. Having used a handful of natural deodorants in the past with lackluster results, switching over to Geologie’s Natural Deodorant was a scary transition.

My fears were quickly quelled by the facts. Geologie ensures all-day odor protection thanks to its proprietary deodorizing compound, which eliminates odors naturally, goes on clear, and dries fast with no white residue. And like all of its other recipes, there’s no yucky stuff. The Natural Deodorant is formulated without aluminum, baking soda, talc, phthalates, parabens, or artificial fragrances.

You’ll find the same scent profiles hard at work within Geologie’s Superclean Body Wash collection as well. If your needs are a little more high-powered, I’d check out Geologie’s unscented Acne Control Superclean Body Wash, which is formulated to be an effective and gentle warrior against acne on your back, chest (and elsewhere!) by treating the root causes of acne-prone skin. 

Finding the Right Scent is Your Choice – Tips From the Pros

Sometimes having more information doesn’t help make the decision any easier, especially between these three profiles. Here’s a high-level look at some considerations to make when choosing a personal scent.

1. Know your tastes. Compare scents and experiences that either have or haven’t worked for you in the past and take it from there. You know you gravitate towards musk or your partner won’t dig florals? That’s your starting mark.
   
2. Do your research. Understand where the scent is coming from and how it is achieved. Luckily in this case, Geologie employs scents from the natural world.
   
3. Experiment with light scents and work your way into the heavier ones. It’ll always be easier to ask for more than to ask for less!
   
4. Know your audience! As much as a fragrance is for your benefit and experience, it affects those around you just as much (if not more). What’s the occasion? 

The best way to know what you’ll like will always be to try ‘em all! The best way to get the full scope of the offerings is always to try all of those options. While a >$200 bottle of perfume might not work with this approach, replace your last bottle with the next scent in line. There’s joy in figuring it out for yourself, especially as you keep yourself clean in the process. Make sure to check out all the scents Geologie has to offer and get 20% off your order!

I consider myself to be a little bit of an expert when it comes to chairs. Not only have I sat in my own fair share of them throughout the years, but I also grew up spending a lot of time in my mother’s home studio where she rebuilt and reupholstered chairs professionally. Starting at a young age, I picked up a healthy knowledge of what separates a good chair from a bad chair. I’ll give you a hint: if you’re a casual chair user, you’re probably way more likely to notice the cosmetic details and differences over the structural integrity, and it’s all about structure.

Something else that I picked up in all that time? My fair share of back problems, the international sign of getting older, right?. Whether from sports, injury, or just the daily strain of life, we could all be a little more careful and intentional with our spines. You only get one, after all. That’s why you should put some extra thought into the chair you spend your work week in, office-goers and work from home-rs alike. 

So, if you’re like me and looking to improve your daily posture, you’re probably asking yourself “Where do I start?” I’d start with SIHOO, a company shaking up the way we think about furniture (given how much time we spend sitting in it). Their newest model – the Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair – is a master in all of the necessary categories. Take a seat and read on for Next Luxury’s full review of SIHOO’s latest masterpiece.

Who Is SIHOO?

SIHOO is a Chinese company that hit the ground running. With a 12-year focus on technology and wellness, SIHOO is an industry leader in the furniture world, maximizing efficiency and productivity by designing office furniture that speaks to the body’s core needs while also addressing our natural weaknesses.

Since the beginning, their primary focus has been taking these principles to market without sacrificing quality AND maintaining a price point that is approachable to the widest range of consumers. The M18, SIHOO’s first self-developed ergonomic chair, quickly became a best seller and opened doors for the brand to explore further into the industry.

This year, SIHOO is leveraging its past five years of experience to kick off a big push to educate us on the importance of choosing the right chair for you. Between April to July of 2023, SIHOO is raising a campaign called “Your 2334 Hours,” which is the estimated amount of time that your average office worker will spend at their desk over 1 year. The Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair is at the epicenter of this campaign.

The Breakdown: The Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair Features

The Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair is a best-in-class option for comfort, but not in the way you’re probably used to quantifying chairs. This isn’t like your classic armchair in the living room or lounging chair in the bedroom designed primarily for aesthetics with a secondary emphasis on ergonomics. SIHOO approaches from the opposite direction, focusing on engineering while keeping artistic design in mind too.

Of all of the features found in the Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair, SIHOO emphasizes three major differentiators that set the Doro-C300 apart from competitors. All of these functions are deeply ingrained in the design of the chair, serving as cornerstones of the value passed on to whoever sits in it. Here’s what they want you to remember:

• The Doro-C300 employs dynamic lumbar adaptive support. This means the chair truly moves with you. The chair is designed with an innovative body movement adaptive system, which takes note of your spinal movements with its lumbar support technology throughout your day. This makes the Doro-C300 a stand-out option for folks like me that are looking for a little extra support in the back or back pain relief.
• The Doro-C300 features a flexible motion-chasing seatback. This is where the technical side of SIHOO’s approach to design really shines the brightest. In their words, “the backrest closely mimics the human form, offering spinal support with side-to-side motion-chasing in a triangle formulation that effectively supports your upper torso and arms.” This is starting to sound like a creation from a superhero movie, right?
• The Doro-C300 has a wide-angle mechanical headrest. SIHOO utilizes a high-precision, auto-locking mechanism to control its one-of-a-kind headrest. By having the freedom to move independently, the extra-wide headrest “orchestrates on its own the symphony of ups, downs, and circular and front-to-back movements.” Not only does this approach encourage comfort, but it also supports your cervical spine in ways determined by and customized for your unique movements.

If you grab one of SIHOO’s newest chairs, you can brag on a long list of features in addition to these big three pillars of design, including breathable and stain-resistant cloud netting, super soft and adaptable armrests, a pressure sensing weight distribution system, and ergonomic waterfall design. It’s also worth mentioning that SIHOO is committed to utilizing only the highest quality materials to manufacture the Doro-C300. That’s what we like to hear!

One more quick note before diving into our hands-on review and reflecting on a week of use: could you guess what animal inspired SIHOO while designing the Doro-C300? There’s a chance you may never have heard of it, but the strong and smooth curves found naturally in the horns of the African Kudu served as a strong inspiration to approach the ergonomic needs of the chair with style and a tip of the hat to the natural world. Cool!

SIHOO Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair Review

In order to really give a fair review and assessment of SIHOO’s exciting new addition to the office chair market, I dedicated a full week of work to be done exclusively in the Doro-C300. The biggest challenge of that entire time was sitting still, but that’s a separate issue. At a very high level, I can confirm SIHOO’s claims of comfort, ergonomic support, and attention to design elements with two big thumbs up. Let’s dig into some of the more granular details as I recap my week with SIHOO.

Upon arrival, I was really astounded by the size of the box it came in! It was one of those moments where I was pretty confident I knew what was arriving in the mail but had to backpedal and second guess upon it arriving on my porch. Right out of the gate, my expectation was set to expect luxury and above and beyond quality. A word to the wise, especially to those living on a second floor or above, it’s a two-person lift for sure!

Assembling the Doro-C300 was daunting before opening the box. I don’t excel at following directions (or asking for help), but SIHOO’s step-by-step process to connect the pieces and calibrate the Doro-C300 to your preferred settings was easy and stressless. Don’t be afraid!

Once out of the box and together in one piece, I was immediately really impressed with the look of the chair. While I understand the extra emphasis on ergonomic design, SIHOO is selling itself short on aesthetic appeal! It’s simple enough to blend in with established decor but strong enough in its design principles to be a stand-alone piece in a more minimalist setting. Props to SIHOO for limiting our color choices to black and white, we don’t need more options beyond the classics. Keep it simple!

One thing I noticed pretty quickly was how little I was fidgeting in comparison to other less comfortable chairs I’ve had the chance to work in in the past. The shape of the back and moveable headrest lead to less movement, while also blending in seamlessly with existing movement and probably making my routine fidgets a little less noticeable.

Well, if the setup was Monday morning, we’ll skip right to Friday afternoon from here. It’s worth noting that the Doro-C300 was definitely very comfortable out of the box, but the true measure of comfort and effectiveness will come after some serious use. So, for science, I put my head down and got to work.

I’m finding it hard to compare apples to apples here, mainly because no other chair has been able to keep me comfortable and sitting still long enough to compile this much data! I noticed a huge uptick in my own productivity. I was way more likely to tackle bigger projects (long-form writing or editing galleries of photos) in a stationary place, where usually I itch for small breaks or laps around the house to break up the process. It will be interesting to see how a longer span in the chair (I’m thinking after a month or two) will improve and help mitigate some recurring back pain in my life, as well as keep the good momentum I’ve had during my test week. Productivity for the win, SIHOO. I see you!

In Conclusion

Keep an eye on SIHOO’s website for information on the Doro-C300 Ergonomic Office Chair and how you’ll be able to snag one of your own. Given the success of their prior models and the demand for at-home productivity these days, you might have to wait a minute, but it’ll be worth the wait. Your back will thank you!

ExpressVPN has made that decision easy and stress-free, thanks to their simple flowchart that helps you find the best Oscar-worthy movie for your specific tastes. This past weekend, I plugged into the flowchart before popping the popcorn – here’s how accurate the flowchart got to what I was looking for.

Which Oscar-Nominated Movie Should You Watch Next? – Start With What You Want To Feel

TikTok has killed my attention span. Seriously – I’m having a hard time watching a thirty-second YouTube video these days, let alone a full-length movie. If you’re thinking about diving into this flowchart yourself, I’d make a strong point to come into it with at least a glimmer of an idea of what you’re looking for.

In this specific use case, I knew I was in the mood for something reputable and worth talking about at work the following week, but without the heaviness that sometimes comes along with an art-forward acclaimed film. I like to watch a movie I don’t feel ashamed for not “getting,” you know? In short, I was looking for an engaging but fun film that friends might have something to say about. What are my options?

Finding a Flow 

Time to go for it. In working through the flowchart, I tried to keep it light – opting to stay away from “tear-jerkers” and take a hard left away from “an ensemble of crazy rich people.” ExpressVPN did a great job making the questions more personal than data-driven, prompting me to think about my mood, tastes, deep fears, and personality quirks over themes or types of movies. The hard part? I’m a “read the last page of the book first” kind of guy. I have a hard time not starting at the end, seeing my final options, and crafting my answers from there. That’s not fair, though – there are a handful of movies on this year’s Best Picture list that I’ve watched with friends or family that wouldn’t have been my first choice if I were watching alone – with that in tow, keep your mind open and take each question as it comes.

Now It’s Time for the Feature Presentation

After a handful of answers, I landed on Avatar 2: The Way of Water. Having seen the first Avatar years ago (probably in high school, if not before), this was one Oscar nominee from this year that I had already had on my radar and was just waiting for the right time to watch. I enjoyed the movie, even if, timing-wise, it was a little more of a commitment than I was looking for.

If you’re looking for a movie review, you’re not gonna get it. I’m not here to spoil your choose-your-own-adventure! I will tell you this: after reviewing the other options that I could have landed on, this felt like the best match for sure. (Aside from Top Gun: Maverick, which was the first movie I went to see in theaters after a long, long time).

Truthfully, the biggest win with the Oscar movie flowchart was in completely bypassing the headache of choosing (and often, agreeing on) the evening’s flick. I would love to see more tools out there for streaming platforms in general – while algorithms get you so far, this was a nice reprieve from seeing the same handfuls of movies across Hulu, Netflix, and Prime and an opportunity to consider something a little out of the box. More like this, please!

Notes for Next Time

I was definitely looking for a current Oscar nominee, but I loved having the option of turning back the clock and looking at winners and nominees from years past. Gladiator, anyone? I’ll definitely be revisiting on future Sunday afternoons to help get a jump start on my movie choice.

What are you waiting for? Dive into the flow chart and get your snacks ready. It’s movie night.

Geologie is shooting for the opposite phenomenon, and they’re succeeding. Committing to simple and effective formulas that work with as little shake-up to your regular routine as possible, it’s no surprise Geologie has raked in 20 awards for excelling in body, hair, and skin care since hitting the shelves.

Skincare for your Body

At this point, I’ve tried nearly every product that Geologie has brought into their collection. Across the board, I’ve really loved their offerings. After learning more about the scientific approach taken to combine a few super-intentional ingredients for the best results, I could really see how these formulations can help others who are seeking a significant change in their skin’s wellness. I am pretty lucky to have healthy skin as it is, so in my case, it was all about pampering. I’ve welcomed more than a few of their products into my daily routine. 

The last trick up Geologie’s sleeve in this series is a little different. Unlike their unique approaches to hair and skin care with revolutionary formulas like their Co-Wash, their Body Bundles (consisting of Best Natural Body Wash and Deodorant for Men by our standards) are the brand’s spin on two grooming classics. Body Wash and Deodorant are found in more familiar territory to the average guy (even natural deodorant, which takes up a fair share of the shelf).

I’m not expecting anyone to come to the table without thoughts of their own. I mean, come on, everyone I have ever asked is generally pretty loyal to their brand of deodorant. What is Geologie doing so differently that deserves your attention? I’ll tell you.

Geologie’s Dream Team – Best Natural Body Wash and Deodorant for Everyone

Like a lot of other products found in Geologie’s online store, the all-star match-up of Body Wash and Deodorant is available for purchase in the Body Bundle in each of Geologie’s signature scents for the product line. (Curious about what fragrances they’ve employed this round? Hold tight, that’s coming!) While value always leads the charge, it’s really the product in the bottle and how it rises above the competition that makes each product stand out.

It’s worth noting before diving deeper into each component of the bundle that there was no skimping on holding to Geologie’s standards. Sure, they could have taken the easy route, but that’s not how it’s done.

The Body Wash and Deodorant are formulated without artificial fragrances, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, PEGs, PFO/PFAa, or SLS/SLEs. It’s vegan and cruelty-free as always. And, you guessed it: it’s given the stamp of approval by Geologie’s Dr. Steve Xu, a leading dermatologist, before heading out the door. 

Natural Deodorant – Geologie’s Way

Even if you aren’t an expert on the topic, you’ve definitely heard that traditional store-bought deodorant isn’t really that good for you. Sure, we’re all grateful for it when you really need it, but the chemicals and ingredients found in standard deodorant can actually do more damage to your pores than you’re aware of. Geologie’s spin on a natural deodorant removes any worry about applying similar claims here.

What is making Geologie’s Natural Deodorants stand a cut above? Well, the secret behind the powerful, long-lasting odor protection that smells uniquely amazing is no secret at all. It’s Geologie’s commitment to natural, uncomplicated, and effective ingredients.

Their proprietary deodorizing compound is totally safe for sensitive skin and tough skin alike, thanks to the exclusion of typical (and harmful) ingredients like aluminum, baking soda, talc, phthalates, parabens, or artificial fragrances. Forget those! You’ll be able to reap the full spread of benefits in your choice of the three signature scents as well: Moab, Hana, and Big Sur.

My favorite aspect of Geologie’s Natural Deodorant (other than the choice of scent – keep holding tight) is the attention paid to an easy and effective application.

I’ll never forget something my dad said when I was a kid, on a hectic morning when everyone in my family was rushing to get out of the door: “I won’t use deodorant that feels like a dog licking my armpit.” Thanks, Dad. It’s a very gross visual, but one that I have never gotten out of my head.

You know, the cheap store-bought deodorant that applies wet and stays wet all day? I can’t get that image out of my psyche. Luckily, Geologie’s deodorant applies quickly and clearly and dries super fast with no chalky white residue. Phew! You’re covered for the whole day without covering yourself in white streaks or starting the day with deo-induced pit stains.

Body Wash by Geologie

Geologie’s approach to most formulations is far more unique and targeted than other competitors I’ve come across or used. They’re not afraid to do a little unlearning to understand the true best processes for your unique skin and body care needs. So, how did they put their spin on the tried and true body wash? They stood tall and made the best damn Body Wash out there. 

Geologie’s Superclean Body Washes are a luxurious body wash, designed to be used in tandem with their natural deodorant for hygiene support from sunrise to bedtime. You’ll clean up with a bubbly lather that simultaneously hydrates, moisturizes, and softens skin.

Like all of the products in Geologie’s arsenal, the Body Washes are leaving the factory only after dermatologist testing and approval, while holding true to the brand’s quality standards across the board. In this case, you can rest assured knowing that you’re lathering up without parabens or sulfates, but with the choice of their three signature and sultry scents.

An added bonus from Geologie that you won’t find among most of their competitors is the availability of refill pouches to purchase when you run out of body wash in the original bottle. Both as an effort to add value and reduce environmental impact, refill pouches are an easy way to restock while utilizing 84% less plastic than the traditional alternative.

Do You Smell What Geologie Is Cooking? Three Winning Fragrances

Finally getting to a breakdown of how Geologie’s scents will take your nose on a sensorial vacation. We’ve cleared through the scientific understanding of what makes the products best in class, and now it’s time to break down the options of fragrance you’ll carry with you through whatever your day serves you.

The best part? You aren’t smelling anything artificial when you crack open your Body Wash or Deodorant. Geologie is committed to only sourcing fragrance from natural sources. This makes even more sense and serendipity as you learn that these three scents are inspired by the natural world, as well.

Geologie’s Moab scent is “bright, citrusy bergamot and crisp desert cedar scents that conjure crisp river rapids sprays in red rock ravines and fresh open skies over wildflower canyons.” 

Geologie’s Hana scent is “a deep, musky jasmine and spicy clove that jettisons you to the shores of Maui’s mysterious eastern edge.”

Geologie’s Big Sur scent is “a big eucalyptus blast that transports to you a misty, spellbound escape amidst towering cliffside forests and fresh salty air”.

Scent is an inherently personal sense, meaning that you’ll have your own experience with each fragrance and be tantalized by different notes than I might be. It’s gotta be Moab for me. I’ve never used such a fresh and floral blend that felt as approachable and unisex. I really enjoy the deviation from traditional masculine scents, curating a more natural connection over something that just feels chemical to me after years and years of use. Which would you choose?

Combine + Save

If you aren’t already convinced that you need to give Geologie’s Superclean Body Bundle a shot, you should know that as always, Geologie is striving for value beyond what you’ll find in the bottle. Beyond the inherent savings found in bundling the Deodorant and Body Wash, you can save 20% when you use code NEXTLUXURY20, or for even bigger savings, get 30% off when you bundle it with your purchase of Geologie’s 30-Day Personalized skincare trial set. 

Geologie says it best: “There’s a Superclean for every mood and every adventure.  So no matter what life throws at you—make sure you smell ready for it.”

If you’ve been following along here in recent months, you may have pieced together that I’m doing my best to change that. Across the board, it felt like time to have a tighter understanding of how and what I buy as a consumer and what purpose my investments serve in the bigger picture. As I get a little older and take note of the state of my complexion, my skin and skin care regimen have found themselves at the top of the list. 

All that being said, my lack of experience causes some road bumps in understanding. Truthfully, there are a lot of key terms in the self-care realm that I need some clarification on.

One of the big ones? Exfoliant. Exfoliator. What does that even mean? I could look up the definition (I did – it means “to shed or come apart from a surface in scales or layers” – yum), but given that I’m a hands-on kind of learner, I’m using Geologie’s newest product drop as an excuse to figure it out. 

Geologie became a well-trusted name in my household, especially after investing more in my own skin and body care. You can take a dive into the Next Luxury archives for a look at thoughts on other products, but today we’re focusing on their new Micro Exfoliator and 3 Minute Clay Mask. Read on to get a top-to-bottom rundown on what Geologie is calling the “spa day in a bottle.”

Geologie’s Micro Exfoliator and 3 Minute Clay Mask: Three-in-One

As someone who struggles to multi-task, Geologie nailing three in one is something to brag about. Here’s a breakdown of the three components of Geologie’s Micro Exfoliator and 3 Minute Clay Mask and how they’re working in tandem to bring you buffed and brilliant skin.

1. Facial Exfoliator – Geologie’s exfoliation formula consists of two different forces at play at the same time. There are gentle micro exfoliators to smoothen and soften the skin, while a triple play of intentional acids tag team a deep clean of your face’s pores (more on the all-star team of ingredients in a minute). Application is as easy as dedicating 30 seconds a week to lightly massage the formula into your skin and you’re set.
2. Facial Mask – Using kaolin and bentonite clays to calm and detoxify irritated skin, Geologie’s facial mask component is working hard to absorb excess oils and minimize the appearance of pores for smooth and even skin tone. If you’ve done a mask before, you’ll figure this one out in no time. Apply a thin layer to your clean face. Enjoy the warming sensation for a bit and you’re good to go! For those with a speedy routine, you’ll be happy to know that the mask treatment only needs three minutes to do its magic.
3. Body Exfoliator – Geologie takes all the solid scientific and successful processes used on your face and urges you to apply the benefits to the rest of your skin as well. That’s right, it’s good to use anywhere. They suggest taking a minute to apply lightly to your shoulders or back while you’re waiting for the facial mask to finish up its work.

Geologie’s Difference

This all sounds great, right? Well, we haven’t gotten to the part that really makes Geologie’s newest serum stand out among the competition. Like a lot of other products on the market, exfoliants are all too often used way more than they should be. In actuality, an exfoliant is more of a once-a-week application versus using every single day. I’m sure it won’t take too much imagination to picture what an over-exfoliated face looks like. Ever seen The Mummy?

On the other hand, we have the face mask treatment, which is what most people either strongly underuse or simply don’t use at all. I’ll be honest, I’ve probably applied three or four face masks in my life and each of them was used because someone told me I had to. 

How does Geologie juggle these two realities? This is where scientifically proven ingredients and formulations come into play. Geologie formulated this unique blend to be used over a single week, combined all of the steps you’d find using multiple products, and condensed them down into easy steps for glowing skin. We’re talking once a week, twice max. Can you make it happen in your schedule?

Who’s Who in the Field

Before we go, let’s quickly run through Geologie’s varsity roster of high-quality and proven ingredients that work together to make Geologie’s Micro Exfoliator and 3 Minute Clay Mask.

The exfoliating components of the formula rely on three equally important acids to improve and strengthen skin. Lactic acid is a safe but potent acid employed that specifically stimulates collagen growth to give the impression of younger-looking skin. Glycolic acid, the smallest in size of the three players, is a gentle warrior working carefully to exfoliate pores and achieve the desired smooth glow. Salicylic acid is the heavy-hitting exfoliator of the triple threat team, working hard to reduce the natural oils in your skin while targeting acne from the inside out.

Balancing out these hard-working acids are the two aforementioned clays. Kaolin and bentonite clays are ingredients from the natural world that are used to absorb excess oil on your skin while rebalancing skin tone and preventing acne. Like all other formulations, these ingredients fall under the scrutiny of Geologie’s lead dermatologist, Dr. Steve Xu. Safe to say they all got an A+!

Time to Exfoliate

Even if you’re a little behind the curve on what you should be doing to take care of your skin, it’s never too late to start. Geologie’s Micro Exfoliator and 3 Minute Clay Mask is simple and trustworthy. You can trust that Geologie’s products are Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Dermatologist Tested, and Dermatologist Approved.

And, of course, I went through a pirate phase as a kid, and everyone learns that Vitamin C quells seasickness (or something like that). I’ve been known to go above the recommended dose on my Flinstones vitamins. I get it, Vitamin C is REALLY good for you.

I’m here to tell you – as they say on TV – “but wait, there’s more!” It turns out that beyond benefitting your immune system and other insides, Vitamin C is a key player in healthy skin care, too.

Geologie, a stand-out name in customizable personal care, has employed Vitamin C in one of their skincare formulations, pairing it with Vitamin E for a Batman and Robin-style tag team serum.

Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum is a skin-brightening formula that targets the hydration and anti-aging of your skin.

Geologie – Have We Met?

Haven’t heard of Geologie yet? Where have you been? We’ve been busy testing out Geologie’s line of body, hair, and skincare products over the last couple of months. Take a dive into our archive for reviews on other cornerstones of their product line.

Here’s what you need to know right now: Geologie is shaking up the way we think about self-care by stocking the shelves with scientifically proven and dermatologist-tested formulations, to be used in combination and catered to your specific needs and goals

We aren’t alone in thinking this. In the time that Geologie has been on the market, it’s won 16 awards for their community-driven approach to wellness. And if that explanation wasn’t straightforward enough for you, take a second to digest one of its taglines: “No fads. No fillers. No BS.” It doesn’t get more clear than that.

Geologie’s Vitamin C+E Ferulic Serum Benefits 

Let’s dive into the details of Geologie’s newest product: the Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum. Geologie breaks down Vitamin C Serum benefits and key differentiators for us over a handful of broad categories. Read on and note where this Serum could come into play to address your specific wants and needs.

• Anti-aging, skin brightening,  and antioxidant benefits – we’re all trying to beat the clock, right? The combination of Vitamin C and Ferulic acid works to fight wrinkles and other natural signs of aging skin, in addition to the natural brightening of your complexion. The serum is specially formulated to protect the skin against stressors in your environment (like free radicals that break down collagen), resulting in skin that looks aged and dull. Until some kind of Benjamin Button effect hits the market, this tag team is your best shot at turning back time and slowing down the rhythm. 
• A highly stable form of Vitamin C – much like in my own life, when it comes to Vitamin C, the goal is stability. Geologie takes extra steps to ensure a long and effective lifespan of their C-centric formulations, as Vitamin C can be pretty unstable when not packaged or formulated with care and intention.
  

• Suitable for all skin types + everyday use – my favorite aspect of Geologie’s ethos is its steadfast understanding that one size rarely ever fits all, especially when it comes to a wide variety of skin types and body types that rely on Geologie’s formulations to improve the quality of their skin. This one in specific is accessible across the whole landscape of skin types and relies on an aloe-based, gel texture formula to lock Vitamin C into the skin at a higher absorption, regardless of how dry or hydrated your skin is, to begin with.
  
• Effective formula + affordable price – here’s the bottom line: the five-star reviews are plentiful and the price point is friendly. It’s not uncommon to find similar products claiming to use the same ingredients at a much higher price. That doesn’t check out with me. Take a look at the serum online and you’ll find further ways to save, like bulking up your order to reduce the price per unit. Geologie is looking out for us.

The Serum’s Varsity Players

Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum is as effective as it is thanks to the right combination of the right ingredients. Like every formulation in Geologie’s collection, this serum didn’t leave the factory without the approval of acclaimed dermatologist Dr. Steve Wu. Here’s the doctor’s varsity line-up of ingredients for this product and what you can expect them to do for you.

• 5% Vitamin C – Geologie’s Vitamin C is a highly potent, stable form of the classic vitamin. As a general rule, you can count on Vitamin C to promote collagen production, brighten the skin, and naturally reduce signs of aging.
• 0.5% Vitamin E – Maybe a newer Vitamin to your knowledge bank, Vitamin E protects against free radicals and replenishes fatty acids for young and plump skin. Think of Vitamin E as the player that watches Vitamin C’s back, clearing the way for the big star to do its work without distraction.
• 0.5% Ferulic Acid – Also coming from the natural world, Geologie counts on this plant-based antioxidant to enhance the effects of Vitamin C + E, while also using its own unique properties to target wrinkles from a different angle. We’re firing on all fronts, baby!
• Hyaluronic Acid – This acid might not be recognized by name, but this pinch hitter is the humectant of the team. That means that the Hyaluronic acid is working its hardest to preserve moisture along the process, otherwise keeping your skin ultra-hydrated.

Geologie has been a heavy hitter in my routine these days and keeps popping up just about everywhere since I discovered it a year or so ago. In the past few months, the Geologie Custom Control Haircare system has made its way to the top of my list of recommendations, not to mention booting most of the other bottles out of my shower caddy. 

Even if you take the quality of Geologie products out of the equation, their biggest point of attraction is the absolute simplicity of the routine while catering exactly to your personal needs and goals. It all starts with a quick quiz to get a holistic understanding of your hair and what you’re looking for out of results and boom: you have custom control haircare.

The Future of Haircare is Here

In a nutshell, Geologie is an indie company putting all of its focus into high-quality and low-investment hair, body, and skincare products. Geologie emphasizes creating your own solutions with its formulations (because let’s face it, no one will ever know you better than yourself). Aside from the results I’ve seen from my own use over the past few months, here are a few of my favorite things about them:

1. Science first. Geologie is very forward and to the point. All formulations used in Geologie’s line of body and skin care products come with two thumbs up from founding dermatologist Dr. Steve Xu before heading out the door, with his primary focus being on ensuring the efficacy and results of each product with the right ingredients to get the job done. The digital market has made it harder than ever to understand how and why brands back up their claims of efficacy, but Geologie does a great job committing to transparency and explaining what makes its formulations so effective. 
2. Personalization matters. The same solutions don’t work across the board on all types of bodies. This is an easy one, right? Well, it’s always been a surprise to me how few hair, skin, and body care brands fail to come to market with this fact at the forefront of their mission. Geologie is not the case. If you visit their website, you’ll likely first notice their strong and unwavering commitment to personalization. Go ahead and take a quiz or two while you’re there — the results of your answers will help determine the most effective path to helping your hair or skin based on the results you most want to see. Read on as we dive into the details of the Custom Control Haircare quiz.
3. Chef’s kiss aesthetic. Okay, this one has nothing to do with effectiveness or scientific worth, but everything to do with how well the packaging will mesh with your shower aesthetic. Geologie has put its money where its mouth is with stand-out design and packaging, with equal emphasis on reducing its environmental impact by using industry alternative materials as well as thinking outside the box with sleek and simple design qualities. While the benefit to you is in the look of the package, you can feel good knowing that your goodies are packaged sustainably.
4. Compassionately made. Of course, Geologie’s formulations are all designed to be eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free, so there’s no need to feel any remorse off the bat. 

Those are just a few examples of HOW Geologie is standing a cut above the rest. Let’s dive into the nitty gritty and see what makes their stand-out products what they are, focusing on the success I’ve found with Geologie’s custom control haircare.

A Totally New Way to Clean Your Hair

As a starting point, you have to understand just how Geologie targets healthy hair. Geologie’s approach stems from the belief and understanding that healthy hair must root from a healthy scalp.

That’s a common argument that’s often contradicted by the dehydrating qualities of your traditional shampoo or conditioners. We must understand here that what is marketed as good for the hair is NOT always what’s best for the scalp! 

How does Geologie achieve that? Well, the broad good news is that the targeted scientific approach speaks to the human function of the hair and scalp. Regardless of background or hair type, oil is generated on the head and hair in a similar form across all use cases. 

Geologie has also prepared itself by offering a few different specialized formulations to speak directly to your desired results. Looking to smooth out some colored or curly or coiled hair? Let them know in your personalized survey and they’ll send you in the right direction.

Wash Less, Stay Fresh

This all sounds great, but I bet you’re wondering how it all works. How does Geologie explain the process behind these benefits?

Well, looking at the process from a high level, the bottom line is that each product in the custom control hair care line works its hardest to realign your hair with its natural cycle of growth. 

Part of your body’s natural cycle is oil production. It’s a process that most conventional shampoos aim to curb and control for themselves, requiring you to keep investing in more and more products to achieve the results you are striving for.

In realigning to a more natural sequence, your hair will eventually retrain itself to thrive in a less greasy state that ultimately requires less washing. This is all achieved by Geologie’s low foam approach to the formulations. Ah, the circle of life!

Meet the Geologie Family of Products

The results of your custom control hair care quiz could bring any combination of Geologie’s hair care products to your doorstep. Who can you expect to join the party?

My favorite of Geologie’s products is also what I consider to be their most innovative: the Co-Wash. The Co-Wash varieties focus equally on the preservation of healthy habits of your head before targeting those locks (get it? Co-wash?).

Using Geologie’s custom-formulated recipe, Co-Wash can tap in as a catch-all solution to enhance, and in some cases, replace shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, gels, oils, and any other remedy or potion you’ve been sold in the past. That being said, Co-Wash can be used in addition to your favorite shampoo. (If you’re looking for a new favorite? Keep reading.) Once you start a regular routine, these benefits become visible and tangible pretty quickly:

• Co-Wash breaks the cycle of too oily or too dry hair and scalp.
• Co-Wash can extend the time between hair cleansing for some
• Co-Wash promotes scalp and hair moisturization
• Co-Wash adds luster and shine without stripping hair.

Geologie’s Strengthening Shampoo, Strengthening Conditioner, and Moisturizing Dandruff shampoo more or less stand in as the team’s closing pitchers. The Shampoos and Conditioner can be used as frequently as your hair calls for it (weekly, biweekly, or even monthly) to clean and nourish your hair from the roots to the ends while lactic acid and vitamin B5 work to restore strength, repair damaged hair and reduce breakage. 

Ready to Give it a Go?

In a time where the world is simultaneously feeling simpler and more complex than ever before, Geologie’s commitment to untangling hair care in every way is a much-appreciated and warm alternative to the general market’s approach to buy, break, buy, buy, buy. Investing a little more into your hair care routine with Geologie will show returns on multiple fronts by simplifying your routine and breaking free from ineffective alternatives. What are you scared of?! Take the quiz and make the switch!

Geologie, a skincare, hair care, and body care brand focused on personalized and effective solutions for the individual, has really nailed down the simplicity workflow. Geologie is proud to have brought its 30-Day Personalized Skincare Trial Routine to market and in the time this routine has been available, the company has won sixteen grooming awards for its dedication to scientifically proven ingredients, commitment to no fads or fillers, and results-driven processes.

In collaboration with acclaimed dermatologist Dr. Steve Xu, Geologie is making fast progress in the shake-up of the skincare and body care world with good ingredients to support good skin. As they say, “it’s that simple.”

Here’s a quick rundown of some of my favorite aspects of Geologie’s 30-Day Personalized Skincare Trial Routine program. Make sure to keep a sharp eye out for hints on how you’ll be able to try for yourself and enjoy the results. Regardless of where you are in your skincare journey, this is something you don’t want to miss out on!

Emphasis on a Simple, Effective Skincare Routine

I’m a high-efficiency guy. Big time. Geologie is speaking my language in making the 30-Day Personalized Skincare Trial Routine an all-around easy part of your everyday routine. Here’s the trade-off: ease of process is only as effective as your ability to be consistent. Geologie doesn’t ask much of you, boasting that the Trial Routine takes just one minute of your morning and one minute of your evening. It’s up to you to make the time and make it happen!

Speaking of efficiency, Geologie spares no effort in ensuring that every ingredient at play is there to do a job, with no fluff, and no fillers. Most of the active ingredients found in the 30-Day Personalized Skincare Trial Routine’s product array have fairly familiar names, even for someone who isn’t as well-versed in the science behind modern medicine. Retinol is a big name in my house, so seeing it at the top of Geologie’s list stuck out in my mind as a great solution directed toward the general wellness of the skin. Other ingredients like hyaluronic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, and salicylic acid are there to help fight acne, reduce oiliness, prevent wrinkles, combat dark and puffy eyes, and target signs of aging. Efficient, if you ask me!

An Uncluttered Bathroom Counter Even With a Skincare Routine

Well, I already admitted that I came to skincare with little knowledge of what’s best for me, but thankfully, I was able to put trust in Geologie to put my best foot forward for me. I have way more informed opinions and preferences when it comes to the products I like to have on display (or at least in view) in my personal bathroom.

My house consists of 50% licensed estheticians and 50% freelance designers. I get SUPER overwhelmed with the sheer number of bottles and sprays we have at any given time in our bathroom, not even considering how cluttered the design and information found on these other products can be. Admittedly a low-key concern, but I would be amiss if I didn’t mention Geologie’s sleek and unique product design. These are bottles I’m game to leave out on the counter if we have company coming over.

If you’re considering an order, I’d spring for one of their hair care formulas too. Their packaging alone, similar in essence to the lunchbox juice pouches of our childhood, is worth the investment.

Geologie’s Help is Available for Your New Skincare Routine

This one might be more of a personal favorite aspect, but I’m sure you’ve felt this frustration, too. I have spent an above-average amount of time lately chatting with robots on the “help” functions of several services I pay for. Whether it’s the electric company, your bank, a customer service line for something you bought, or even a restaurant down the road, there’s nothing more annoying than trying to get answers to your questions from A.I. Maybe it’s the way of the future, but that’s not a future I’m stoked for.

Geologie is with me on this one, thankfully. They’ve dedicated the resources internally to ensure that any question or concern you may think of is addressed by a real live human being who is a part of Geologie’s team, versus artificial intelligence piecing together an answer that might make sense. This is important to me as we dive deeper into the digital age. Props to Geologie for taking a people-first stance at customer service, especially for a product that is so personal. 

Take the First Step to Start Your Skincare Routine

The hardest part in starting a new skincare routine is just that: getting it started. Geologie has made that jump a little more approachable by offering their innovative formulas found in the 30-Day Personalized Skincare Trial Routine for 50% off to our loyal Next Luxury readers. Getting started is as easy as hitting this link and committing to consistency on your end. We hope you’ll share your results and thoughts with us, as well. Happy healing!

After the last handful of years, it should be no surprise this year: winter time is the most wonderful time of the year to get knocked off your feet with a seasonal cold. At this point, it’s almost to be expected.

As a kid, winter sickness revolved around getting an extra day off school, hot soup, and cartoons. That’s not to say those aren’t still on my agenda, but as an adult, you obviously have to take a more active role in managing your own health during the sick season. Where does everyone look first? Vitamin C.

Sailors in the old days of clippers and pirates learned quickly that citrus (fruits that are powerhouses of vitamin C) was a big help in preventing sickness on the high seas. Your mom definitely gave you vitamin C in the form of chalky gummies shaped like dinosaurs and prehistoric celebrities.

There isn’t much more to say – probably more than any other vitamin, you probably have the best handle on the benefits of vitamin C. (The main downside? When my girlfriend brings home a bottle of vitamin C gummies and I get in trouble because they “aren’t candy.” What do you mean? They’re gummies!)

With all that awareness, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that vitamin C is a clutch player in the health and maintenance of your skin. While that seems obvious, you may not have known what a powerhouse player this mighty vitamin is for the well-being of your body’s biggest organ.

Geologie, a 16-time award-winning skincare and personal wellness brand that is no stranger to anyone looking to up their self-care game, has seen the value and presented us with a hybrid option to bring not one, but TWO powerhouse vitamins into the mix of your routine. That’s right, Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum has entered the chat.

What Are the Benefits of Vitamin C + E for Skin?

Okay, so beyond helping with a potential scratchy throat or runny nose, these vitamins have great benefits outside of internal health. With the help of Geologie’s brain power behind their new Vitamin C+E Ferulic Serum, here’s a list of the main benefits each vitamin contributes to a healthy skin care regimen. 

1. Incredible antioxidant. Vitamin C is all about protecting your cells against the effects of something that scientists would call “free radicals.” No, I know what you’re thinking, free radicals aren’t a 90s band or an anarchist group. Free radicals are unstable atoms floating around your body that can impart serious damage to your cells and speed up the effects of aging. A healthy routine involving vitamin C is among the best strategies to combat skin from developing lines and wrinkles. 
2. Vitamin C is collagen’s best friend. Collagen, a natural protein that our body produces, is the knight in shining armor when it comes to reversing and preventing the natural effects of aging on the skin. The use of vitamin C, like in Geologie’s newest serum, stimulates collagen (I’m imagining it to be something like the shining armor we know from storybooks of our childhood. Are you sensing the theme?) When collagen works hard, the results are first and foremost in the form of reducing the appearance of fine lines in the skin. Someone tell my grandma! When you mix vitamin C with ferulic acid as Geologie has, aging doesn’t stand a chance. 
3. The vitamin combo is here to brighten your skin. Brightness! I’m sure you’ll agree that there’s no better solution than shining a little light on the problem, right? Well, this kind works from the inside out versus the outside in. Vitamins C and E combined together as Geologie has in their formula help to brighten up your complexion by route of blocking excess pigment creation. Huh, who knew, right?  
4. Keeping it cool. We’re not talking heat here, we’re talking sunglasses emoji cool. Everyone knows what inflammation looks like on the skin. Ever had a pimple before a date? Suffered from acne as a kid or as an adult? It’s a natural part of life that honestly, I think we’d all rather avoid if we had the choice. Ferulic acid, an active ingredient in Geologie’s serum, is a power player in combating blocked pores, pollution underneath the skin, and radiation that often leads to unpleasant inflammation and redness. No need to have that around, right?

How Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum Works

While all the ingredients of Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum are stand-alone warriors in the skincare game, it’s really about the way they work together that makes the serum a next-level player in healthy skin. If you’re wondering who the conductor of the orchestra is, that would be the ferulic acid that’s ingrained in the DNA of Geologie’s serum. 

This is a great time to give a little explanation behind ferulic acid: beyond being a kind of funny word to say, ferulic acid is an antioxidant (yes, you’re familiar with those) that works its hardest to empower and strengthen the work being done by other antioxidants in the game.

Okay, so maybe it’s less like a conductor of an orchestra and more like the star player on the team. Think about all the other players on the 96 Bulls that got a push to the top thanks to powerhouse Mike. So, in other words, ferulic acid is the Michael Jordan of skincare. That’s why it’s I see it as Geologie’s affordable alternative to pricey vitamin C serums. 

In addition to boosting other antioxidants, ferulic acid does its own work in the form of protecting your skin’s integrity. We’re talking line reduction, spot reduction, and wrinkle reduction as well. No jokes here, this one is truly a superstar.

Speaking as a whole, Geologie has made a strong commitment to using exclusively proven, effective, and stable ingredients in its full array of skincare products. This one is no exception using the best of the best, Geologie relies on a stable connection for long-lasting results (more on that stability in a moment).

For example, Geologie has opted to employ 5% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid as an alternative to vitamin C which is proven to be more stable than other options out on the market. As a general stabilizer, ferulic acid earns a best-in-class reputation by doubling its efficacy over other options.

Geologie’s Secret Weapon

While the ferulic acid at play is the main component when it comes to the serum’s stability, we can’t ignore the steps that Geologie has taken to ensure all aspects of the product are working in the favor of the serum’s lifespan, all the way down to the way in which the serum is packaged.

Vitamin C, as a general rule, is super sensitive to the effects of light and oxygen. Without help from stabilizing elements, vitamin C is prone to degradation over time. This is unfortunate but easily remedied by Geologie’s opaque bottle and packaging method that removes oxygen. It’s the small stuff that makes a difference, and in a time of corporate corner-cutting to save a dime, Geologie’s commitment to the lifespan of their product can’t go unnoticed.

Rounding Up and How to Save on Skincare With Geologie

Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum is intended to be a front-line addition to an established and healthy skincare routine. After reading this, you’re well on your way to understanding the benefits of a skincare routine if you have no prior experience before now. Here’s the best part, though: it’s easy. There are no complications here when it comes to adding Geologie’s Vitamin C + E Ferulic Serum into your routine. No sweat, right?

If this all sounds like it’s up your alley (or maybe up the alley of a loved one in your life this holiday season), you have been struck with some serious luck. Geologie is offering 20% off sitewide when shopping through Next Luxury’s exclusive link. 

Crazy about vitamins? Can’t get enough? The Vitamin C + E serum is the perfect powerhouse addition to your personalized skincare routine trial set that Geologie is generously offering for half price. That’s right, 50% off. You can find that here.
