Wellness + Beauty – Morgan Cosmetics’ Pandemic Relief Skincare
Masks are essential to stopping the spread of COVID-19. But they can be hard on your skin, especially if you job requires you to wear one all day. Elements such as sweat, dirt and oil get into your skin and causes inflammation and acne. If you have a skin condition like eczema or rosacea, wearing a mask can cause a flareup.
Jennifer Abba, Co-owner of Seattle-based natural products line, Morgan Cosmetics (which is sold at retail stores nationally as well as Amazon) has a few tips for maintaining healthy skin and keeping it looking fresh.
“Choose a comfortable mask such as a two-ply cotton mask, which is breathable and washable; avoid heavy makeup that won’t allow your skin to breath, adding another layer of complexity to wearing a mask,” Abba said. “Find the right skincare regimen, Morgan Cosmetics offers Prickly Pear Seed Oil, rich in vitamin C and Rosewater spray that reinvigorates and nourishes your skin and makes every day a fresh start. “ At the same time, exposing your hands to soap or hand sanitizer several times a day can dry out your skin because the alcohol in hand sanitizers removes the skins protective oils. “Adding Argan Oil to your shampoo or rubbing it directly on the skin restores the skin and provides a healthier way to keep skin and hair softer and more radiant this winter,” Abba added.
Argan oil, produced from enormous quantities of crushed Argan nuts, nourishes the skin through its high fat content, which consists of 67% of all essential fatty acids including linoleic acid. With a light fragrance combining nutty and citrusy scents, it moisturizes the skin by improving water retention through its high vitamin E content. By boosting hydration, Argan oil ensures a radiant complexion even when skin faces the dry air.
This is also the case with Morgan Cosmetics’ Prickly Pear Seed Oil. Extracted from cactuses, prickly pear seed oil boasts 87% of all fatty acids, making it a highly effective hydrator that deeply penetrates the skin and boosts its water content for several hours after it is applied. In addition to its long-lasting moisturization, prickly pear seed oil’s scent of citrus fruit and light texture immediately brings a good feeling as it permeates the skin with nourishment that will leave it with a soft, velvety feeling.
Moroccan Pure Rose Water is a hydrosol from distilled Damascus Rose Petals that grow in the Morocco’s “Valley of Roses”. This pure rose water is excellent for any type of skin including dry or inflamed skin as an astringent and skin toner; it will also help to restore moisture balance and diminish broken capillaries. Morgan Cosmetics sources this Rose water directly from Morocco. It is a real natural cleansing and purifying lotion with a unique amazing natural smell that envelops the energy around you, and transmutes it into a lovely, delicate vibration that is conducive to peace and positive thinking, an all time spiritual cleansing.

CBD infused BESO Whip blends is designed to moisturize, soothe and heal your skin from head to toe
Winter is a time when aches and pains pop to the surface. BESO has created a brilliant “weed & wine” (CBD / grape seed oil) therapeutic massage whip. It’s formulated with a plethora of antiinflammatory ingredients with global and spiritual significance such as turmeric, mustard and tea tree oils, and frankincense and myrrh.
Combined and designed to moisturize, soothe, and heal your skin from head to toe. CBD infused BESO Whip blends an array of all-natural plant-based ingredients chosen for their proven therapeutic properties.
BESO Wellness, the new CBD-powered “weed & wine” massage whip and line of body and hair products recently brought to market by the celebrity massage therapist to pro athletes and music industry moguls, is now available to therapy and spa professionals on Live, Love Spa. The rich BESO Therapeutic Whip was developed specifically for massage therapy use and for spa professionals, the lighter body milk is used for facial care and the hair elixir for beard, scalp and hair treatments.
The all-natural, deeply nourishing and potent BESO Therapeutic Whip was originally created by Megan Blackwell to add a pain-addressing boost of cannabinoid functionality to her restorative body work. The trio of “weed & wine” skincare products are now being rolled out nationally and are based in luxurious grapeseed oil (wine) with highly effective ratios of CBD, distilled from pure Kush cannabis (weed). The products are formulated with superlative anti-inflammatory and nutritive ingredients such turmeric, tea tree, mustard and black seed oils. Other emollients include African shea butter, Vitamin E and exotic elements such as frankincense and Myrrh.
The BESO Wellness collection came to commercial success at the prodding of Blackwell’s clients, who range from NBA basketball players such as John Salley, Olympians, Michael Johnson, the Princess of Sierra Leone and entertainers from Janet Jackson to Miguel, 2Chainz, Ty Dolla Sign, Michael Beasely, Kitty Kash and the Kardashians.
“My clients all have very physical jobs and live with chronic pain,” said BESO Wellness founder, Megan Blackwell. “I started distilling my own CBD and adding it to the most efficacious combination of humectants and anti-inflammatories I could find. I found many of these ingredients in my global and spiritual travels. Together, they are powerfully functional and enriching to the skin, connective tissue and muscles.”
Designed for deeply penetrating soft tissue therapy, the rich and moisturizing BESO Body Whip ($60.00) features generous ratios of CBD and is paired with African and white shea butter, kukui, grapeseed, tea tree, black seed, turmeric, lavender, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, and mustard seed oils.
The lighter BESO Body Milk ($60.00) can also be used as a high-performing daily facial moisturizer and is designed to therapeutically soothe and smooth. The quickly absorbing milk features white shea butter, kukui, grapeseed, tea tree, black seed, turmeric, lavender, frankincense, myrrh, mustard seed oil and Vitamin E.
The BESO Hair & Beard Cocktail ($60.00) was created to provide relief for common hair-related conditions ranging from dandruff, dryness, chemical damage to itchy scalp, alopecia, and is a particularly nourishing beard and hair treatment.
About:
BESO Wellness is a cutting-edge pain-relief balm that is powered by the healing properties of cannabinoids. Beso, which means “kiss” in Spanish (and in this case, “Earth’s Kiss,”) is the brainchild of a celebrity massage therapist, Megan Blackwell, whose clients include Tier 1 luminaries from the NBA, NFL, MMA, music, and entertainment industries. The all-natural formulations feature some of the most therapeutic essential oils assembled from global history and various spiritual traditions such as mustard and black seed, frankincense, myrrh, turmeric, shea, coconut; all whipped into a luxurious grape seed base. The ultra-efficacious line of massage whip, face / body cream and hair elixir contain some of the most generous ratios of full spectrum active ingredients that can be found in cannabis topicals.
