1 of a kind Silk Serum to Rejuvenate your skin

Canaan  Daily Silk Serum is a must have. You can use it as a part of your facial routine. The aroma, the gentle smooth silky sensation and the healthy after glow it gives my skin makes me feel blessed.
My curiosity was piqued in an instant when a skin expert at the salon where I purchased it told me that this whole range of products were based on extracts from the Dead Sea.
I call it the miracle serum because it gives me a healthy, radiant glow without much effort.
It is so easy to apply but there's a technique to it.
It comes in a bottle with a pump, so you take a small pump on your index finger.
Apply even dots all over your face and then just gently tap the serum into your skin.
This is the simplest method of applying any kind of moisturizer or sun screen or skin serum.
Caveat - don't do this in front of your partner/ friends, they will definitely find it strange ! But it works for your skin and you love yourself so you  have to do it.
Quickly
What I love about this product - easy to apply, fast absorbing, ultra moisturizing without over oiling, unbeatable and unmistakable after glow
Flip side - not easily available in retail
Rating - 5/5 it has Dead sea extracts...where can you find such stuff?!
Cost - USD 25 ( Because I purchased this from a salon)
You can buy from here
