Aesop

The Aussie beauty brand has expanded its NYC presence with this West Village flagship, making it the third downtown location (the others are in Nolita and Greenwich Village). The store’s decor pays tribute to the bohemian feel of the neighborhood through natural wood, and leather and brass accents. The plant-based products treat skin, hair and body needs with botanical blends and antioxidant formulas. Try olive-derived foaming face cleansers ($33), aromatic hand balms ($95), gentle shaving serums ($35) and soothing antiblemish gels ($23). If it all seems a bit daunting, rest assured that gratis skin consultations are offered to determine what products are best for you.
