January Labs based in Laguna Beach is a new luxury skincare line, founded by January Olds, who has worked more than a decade in the skin care industry including eight years with Epicuren Discovery, leading education and product development.

With January Labs, her own baby, she’s developed a line that is effective, gentle (no sulfates, parabens or fragrances that can be irritating) and yet easy to use. Her mantra is that skin care should be simple, and too many products can be confusing and aren't necessarily mean better.

She’s recently landed two exciting accounts with renowned esthetician Dangene at the Core Club in New York, and "Glow & Go" will also be featured as a "hero" product at the new Fred Segal/New Beauty store in Santa Monica! Glow & Go is a professional-grade, at home, anti-aging system for all skin types. January Labs is now available at a dozen boutiques from LA to NY.

We recently tested out her line of skin care, including the Skin Essentials collection of four products, which includes a pure and gentle cleanser (designed to lighten and brightens the skin with willow bark and anti-oxidants), moisture balancing lotion (a light moisturizer with organic oils), a restorative tonic mist, and “Glow and Go” exfoliant, a fave product for it’s “wow.” We felt like we'd just had a sensational facial.

Her products also come in small travel sizes, perfect for on the go men and women. Now that we’ve tried the products religiously for about a week, we agree that January Labs makes our skin feel and look restorative and hydrated. It’s available online at januarylabs.com.
