Aesop don't believe in vitamin pills; they believe in balanced diets and natural skincare that saves face. The beauty alchemists apply the same ideology of precision to your skin that your mother brings to homemade broth. A lot of love goes in.It's refreshing to see a company that encourages balance instead of the usual Demtel dude harping on about how this new vitamin supplement will change your life. And, you know what? Aesop works!
I'd never used any skincare products until my housemate bought home an Aesop facemask and we coated our pores with magical mud. I haven't gone back. They've got all your body essentials covered; Marrakech inspired fragrances, A Rose By Any OtherName body wash and Damascan Rose facial treatment. Aesop started in Australia in 87 and their momentum hasn't been interrupted since. Romantics at heart, Aesop's got great chemistry.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
