A stay in New York City can do wonders for your soul, but it can do a number on your skin. The mile-a-minute, outdoor-centric nature of life in NYC dictates we encounter the elements daily, Luckily, the city isn’t short on high-quality apothecaries and skincare shops, each offering a slightly different variety of ways to keep your face, hair, nails and body feeling fresh during and after your time in the city.
