If you’re into clean beauty with a luxurious twist, you’ll love OSEA. We stopped by their serene studio on Abbot Kinney, and the whole experience felt like a vacation. The treatments are all sea-inspired, using nutrient-packed seaweed and botanicals to refresh your skin. Their Cranial Wave Facial was so relaxing it practically put us in a trance, while the Deep Sea Age-Defying Facial left our skin looking lifted and radiant.
