Office Faves: Mahina Evening Replenishing Elixir by Leahlani Skincare

When I first discovered Leahlani’s products, I immediately fell for their charm. They have a very holistic approach — simple packaging in pastel colours, plus they’re made with Hawaiian nectars & tropical oils to give you that “aloha glow”. The products are also blended fresh weekly; and when something is made with love, you can really feel it. Although I adore the whole range, I do have a soft spot for one product in particular.

Mahina Elixir

My fate was sealed after my first application. Since then, I love bringing that bit of magic to my daily skincare ritual. It’s like a celebration of the senses: total relaxation, good feelings, a moment of pure bliss, a welcome meditation. The Mahina Elixir has an enticing scent that quickly puts me in a relaxed state, calming my senses. After cleansing, I mist my face with a nourishing toner. Then, while it’s still damp, I massage one or two pumps of Mahina onto my skin.

Now I’m all ready for my beauty sleep — knowing that the oils of moringa, marula, prickly pear and chia will nourish, rebalance & repair my skin as the night turns to day. I have dry skin, so incorporating oils into my routine is not as much a choice; it’s a must. I was delighted with the recent upgrade Leahlani made to the Mahina Elixir. It now includes a potent amount of CoQ10, a powerful ingredient that combats the effects of sun damage, stimulates collagen production & reduces the appearance of fine lines in the skin. This elixir has it all, I’m telling you!
