Swede Beauty: Me, Mysa and I

SJO Skin is a mother-daughter duo that believes less is more when it comes to ingredients. All their products are crafted in Sweden with high quality naturals, and the packaging also reflects a handmade-but-high-quality excellence.

We all know the Swedes have some pretty special words that have no direct translation in English … but my favorite for this time of year is mysa. It’s kind of like the Danish hygge (a cozy vibe), but it actually means more like cozying up at home EITHER by yourself or with someone else. So it’s kind of like … if “cuddle” was something you could do to yourself ; )

SJO Skin’s Happy Honey Mask is a total mysa enabler.

It’s a best seller and we can understand why. Developed in small, fresh batches, this little jar of heaven calms & soothes with raw honey & calamine. It also has kaolin clay which helps purge pores of excess oil. The benefit of the balance of these ingredients is a detox mask that doesn’t dry you out and leaves you feeling nourished. It comes with a beautiful little applicator wand so you can Zen out while painting it on (kind of doubles as a massage), and then mysa out while it does its work.
