The first day of fall in Utah never dissapoints.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can feel it, see it and even smell the crispness in the air. One of our most favorite parts about this state is the fact that we get to experience all 4 seasons (usually in extremes..).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been one hot summer, that is for sure. Bring on the cooler days!

It's feeling a lot like Fall today! What outdoor activity are you most excited about this season?

HKB co-founder, Tommy, loves mountain biking. He's passionate about spending time in the outdoors, grinding up the mountains of Park City and putting our products to the test. Fun fact, he also happens to be Helen's son-in-law and the guy behind our company's name.

Here he is, biking on a day that didn't go quite as planned. Good thing he had plenty of Extreme Weather Sunscreen along for the ride.

Correct answer, for most people, 2--3 times a week. Did you know that a hydrating mask, like our Tea Tree Perfecting Mask, does more to restore moisture to your skin than...Moisturizer? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you do a mask every week, starting NOW, for the rest of your life, you will be glad you did -- another pearl of wisdom, right from Helen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember, right now, until 9/30, all orders containing a Tea Tree Perfecting Mask are 15% off!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I don't know about you, but it always seems like our skin has been through A LOT during the summer months! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Long days of glorious sunshine and for a many of us, heat...So. Much. Heat. Can leave our skin as dry as an old leather suitcase.... Our #1 tip for restoring your glowing complexion - Tea Tree Perfecting Mask! And, to help you look your best this fall, we're giving you 15% OFF your ENTIRE order containing a Tea Tree Perfecting Mask until the end of the month.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This customer favorite is a hydrating and soothing gel mask that doesn't suck all the moisture from your pores. Whatever you've thought about Tea Tree in the past - maybe that it's harsh or drying - forget that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Australian and New Zealand Tea Tree Essential Oils in our mask balance flora deep within pores and provide higher antioxidant activity than other Tee Tree oils without the irritation those oils can cause. Licochalcone, a natural compound derived from Licorace root, has proven anti-inflammatory capabilities and can prevent UV-induced pigmentation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The result: calmer, brighter, hydrated skin and radiant skin. No joke! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have we introduced you to Helen yet? Helen Krako

Have we introduced you to Helen yet?

Helen Krakow is a Park City, Utah based skin care expert, trained Master Esthetician and Esthetics Instructor with more than 35-years of experience, as well as the founder of her namesake skincare line, Helen Knows Best.

Helen’s career began in the late 1980’s at the Conservatory of Esthetics in Chicago, Illinois under the guidance of Barbara Salomone. Here, she gained a comprehensive education in esthetics from some of the most renowned instructors from the United States and Europe, allowing her the opportunity to actively hone in on her own unique method and techniques.

Following her education, Helen owned and managed the notable Nouvelle Femme Day Spa in Chicago for 15-years. Then, in 2006, Helen decided to relocate to Park City with valuable experience, a deeper passion for skincare and a newfound understanding of different regions and climates. Here, Helen Knows Best was born.

Helen is still a practicing esthician in Park City, Utah and her passion for engineering quality skincare products remains. After all it's what she knows best.

When was the last time you used your mask?

Did you know that a weekly mask helps rebalance your skin and adds moisture that creams can’t. Helen insists, do your mask- you’ll feel better about Monday. And don’t forget your neck...
