Sun, wind, ice, snow...they're unavoidable, and they wreak havoc on your skin. Luckily, Lily Garfield knows what winter-weathered skin needs, and freely gives that knowledge away at her chi-chi Cos Bar resort boutiques. A staple in high-end ski resorts for more than 25 years, expect to find the elite members of the skin care world in these little jewel-box like stores: La Mer, Natura Bisse, Kanebo and a whole host of truly exquisite brands you may not have even heard of --yet!
That’s where the professional knowledge of the staff comes in: they’ve been sent to special training clinics on each of the products, hosted by the prestigious brands themselves. These two day trainings hosted by the luxury brands ensure that each staff member knows more about identifying the unique “right fit” for a customer than your average department store counter employee.
Not sure? Samples are given generously, and conveniently for the traveler, who can use the small, complimentary containers during their trip to test the excellence of the products. Once the customer is assured that the product recommended to them is superior to anything they’ve ever experienced, they can find a simple website to place orders from home—or always come back for another visit! Peruse a Cos Bar on vacation, and take home the most luxurious (and appropriate) gifts for your skin you’ll ever find.
Look for locations in Aspen and Vail.
