From Our Saved Folder: Holistic Facialists

At the OhBar we have diligently participated in almost every skincare hype that would promise to bring us one bit closer to dream complexion. Whether it is a jade roller potential ability of decreasing inflammation, or a wizardry dust supplement we are downing with a water bottle (with a quartz crystal in it), we are all for it.
