The Skincare Step That Shouldn’t Be “Mist”
Facial sprays – the skincare step that cannot be “mist”! Whether you spritz during your skincare routine, during makeup application, or throughout the day, facial sprays and tonics are for everyone. Our facial tonics at boscia provide amazing benefits and disperse a fine spray, great for your everyday skincare routine or for freshening up makeup throughout the day. Find our top reasons to spritz your skin below!
Tone and Treat. Repeat.
Introducing facial sprays. These quick fixes are the key to elevating your skincare ritual. Today, many facial sprays go beyond hydration to now contain treatment for both instant and lasting results. Our Clear Complexion Tonic prevents and treats congestions and breakouts in the skin in a spritz. Following cleansing, spray tonic onto skin and continue with your usual skincare routine and makeup if desired. Balancing Facial Tonic boosts the efficacy of your treatments by prepping skin and balancing the skin’s surface. Both of our tonics contain our signature Botanical Blend. In this liquid form, the Botanical Blend treatment penetrates the skin quickly and delivers results instantly – thus, always use tonic immediately after cleansing. Spraying throughout the day will continue to treat the skin while adding controlled hydration for clear, healthy skin.
Backstage Must-Have
On set, many makeup artists keep a brush in one hand and a facial spray in the other! For flawless foundation application, misting is a must. Our tonics should be used prior to skincare and makeup application to enhance your look. Spritzing a buffing brush or Beauty Blender prior to use with your complexion product not only allows for smoother application, it also treats and hydrates the skin to give a plumped and healthy look. This will work to sheer out the product while infusing skincare elements into your application. Our tonics provide a cushion between makeup and skin, preventing the dreaded “caked” look. Our Balancing Facial Tonic is a favorite among the boscia team because it benefits any skin type and imparts a radiant glow to skin.
“Mochi Hada”
Mochi Hada means “baby-soft” in Japanese. At boscia, we take pride in developing skincare to help you achieve mochi hada skin. Our Balancing Facial Tonic hydrates and evens skin tone, while our Clear Complexion Tonic gently eliminates breakouts and regulates oil production. Both of our tonics work to prepare and prime the skin for your usual skincare ritual by creating a perfected, balanced canvas. For mochi hada skin throughout the day, spray tonic onto skin to refresh and rehydrate the skin.

Introducing the HOTTEST new cleanser around (+ a giveaway!)
The Detoxifying Black Cleanser is here, and without a doubt, this warming cleansing gel is the hottest new thing on the market! The perfect complement to the rest of boscia‘s black product line (including the cult-favorite Luminizing Black Mask and the cooling new Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel), this cleanser dissolves pore-clogging impurities, oil and makeup as it refines skin texture, brightens skin clarity and minimizes the look of pores over time.
The star ingredients in this ultra-luxe cleanser include the following:
• Artichoke Leaf Extract improves elasticity to help tighten pore walls.
• Charcoal draws out excess oil and impurities as it detoxifies.
• Glycolic Acid helps clarify skin and smooth rough texture.
• Vitamin C helps brighten skintone and minimize fine lines as it defends from free radical damage.
The Detoxifying Black Cleanser is being sold only at www.boscia.net, until it launches next month exclusively at Sephora stores and on Sephora.com. To celebrate this launch, boscia is giving away three Detoxifying Black Cleansers to three commenters on this post! One comment per person, please, and the contest closes at 5 PM PST on Wednesday, December 7. Best of luck!
Buzzzing about Clarisonic!
Here at boscia, we’re crazy about Clarisonic! This must-have skincare tool helps you get the very most out of your daily cleansing routine by by removing six times more makeup and two times more dirt and oil than cleansing with hands alone, according to Sephora. So imagine our delight when we were invited to be a part of the cutest kit to hit shelves this holiday – the Clarisonic Mia Cleansing System, available in berry (shown below) and white! Each option comes with a full-size bottle of our well-loved Purifying Cleansing Gel – the absolute perfect partner for the Clarisonic’s pore-perfecting cleansing power. At only $119 (with a $199 value!) this set is an excellent holiday gift – maybe even for yourself! Be sure to pick yours up at Sephora.com or at a Sephora store before they sell out! 
Dressing for fall
Here at boscia HQ, we love when the weather starts to feel a bit more cold and crisp – it means our fall wardrobes (that get so little use in the perpetual summer that is Orange County) will finally see the light of day! But our skin also needs a change of wardrobe as the weather starts to turn. Skin that was once oily in the summer’s heat can snap with the cold into a dryer state, and need more nourishing care.Does your skincare fluxuate with the seasons? If you’re an Oil-free Daily Hydration SPF 15 user, give our Vital Daily Moisture SPF 15 a try if you find that fall and winter weather tend to make you more dry. For evenings, Recharging Night Moisture can do the trick for overnight replenishment with an added anti-aging boost.
And for dry skin that gets even dryer with the cold, our Restorative Collection – including Restorative Day Moisture Cream SPF 15 and Restorative Night Moisture Cream – provides an even richer level of hydration (along with firming and brightening benefits!) that parched skin will gladly drink up – resulting in a dramatic difference to radiance, texture and tone.
The Restorative Collection
Finally, for a makeup removal and cleansing routine that comforts and soothes, use our Soothing Cleansing Cream – an ultra-gentle cleanser that nourishes the skin with a cushion of moisture, and rinses away clean – taking makeup and impurities with it.
If you’re looking to test out a new, richer cleanser or moisturizer for the season, remember that you can stop into any Sephora or ULTA store and request that a custom sample be made for you to take home and try before you buy. And as always, you can call boscia at 1.888.635.8884 with any questions about what skincare products are right for you. Happy fall!

We recently had the chance to feel like movie stars for a day, as we spent a full day on set shooting a boscia training video for Sephora Inside JCPenney! Our marketing director Alyssa was a natural in front of the camera, the set looked stunning, and the team we worked with was so much fun! Here’s your sneak peak behind the scenes:

Safety first!
We’re about five days out from the first day of summer, and the boscia crew is committed to helping make it as sun-safe as possible! While we all love sunny days, we also know that sun exposure without proper protection can accelerate the aging of the skin and even lead to skin cancer. That’s why we were so excited to be asked to be a part of Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit 2011! Not only do we get to show off our amazing Oil-free Daily Hydration SPF 15 as a part of this ultra-adorable set, but we also get to help support a great cause, because 100% of the net profits from the kit will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation.
This supercharged sun set is all sold out online, but check your nearest Sephora store for stock. Better safe than sunburned!
