Anti-Aging Skin Care Products Seattle WA

By Kate Hanley

We all love hitting the spa for those indulgent natural treatments that pep up our skin and leave us rejuvenated and radiant. But with your busy schedule and tightened budget, professional pampering, sigh, just isn’t always an option. No worries—our stash of age-defying creams, serums, and oils can help you maintain that youthful glow between spa splurges.

Osea Essential Hydrating Oil
($28, 0.33 oz; oseaskin.com )
This intensely moisturizing blend plumps up the skin to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and delivers high concentrations of nourishing essential oils. Sesame oil, macadamia oil, and jojoba oil provide intense hydration while the essential oils of calendula (provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits), geranium (stimulates skin cells and provides a glow), cypress (acts as an antiseptic and tightens pores), and Roman chamomile (soothes skin sensitivities) protect and rejuvenate skin cells.

MyChelle No-Tox Anti-Wrinkle Serum
($59, 1 oz; mychelleusa.com )
Combines cutting-edge chemistry with age-old herbal wisdom to deliver an all-natural tool for those serious about anti-aging skincare. This sumptuous-smelling serum offers five different peptides—protein building blocks derived from peas and other vegetables—to stimulate growth of new collagen fibers and tighten and firm skin. Includes extracts of honeysuckle, cactus flower, and Indian ginseng; oils of geranium, lovage, and rapeseed; and witch hazel.

Aromabliss Bliss Balm Face
($33, 2 oz; aromabliss.us )
This rich butter blends supremely hydrating rice bran oil (a major source of vitamin E and a natural sunscreen), raspberry seed oil (an anti-inflammatory), and mango butter (an intense moisturizer) with the ayurvedic herb manjista, which is hailed for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties.

Starflower Essentials Royal Rejuve Serum
($35, 1 oz; starflower.com )
Designed for nighttime application, this lightweight serum calls on a lengthy list of ingredients to support skin’s natural renewal processes, which slow down with age. The supporting players include royal jelly, raw honey, aloe vera gel, green tea, vitamin C, Bulgarian Rose Otto, and 18 organic herbs.

DermaE Age-Defying Day Crème
($39.50, 2 oz; dermae.net )
The main attractions in this silky cream are two powerhouse antioxidants: astaxanthin (a pigment that gives wild salmon its red color) and Pycnogenol (extract of the bark of a pine tree that grows in coastal France). Vitamin E and C-Ester provide additional antioxidant support while jojoba oil hydrates.
