MY FAVORITE PRODUCTS
ELTAMDÂ SUNSCREEN
For Extra-Sensitive Skin Types
This is a chemical-free natural mineral sunscreen with antioxidants. It's water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, has UVA/UVB sun protection, and is oil free. It's lightly tinted, but offers fantastic coverage (to the point where I've replaced my foundation with this). It's the only thing that covers my acne, without making my sensitive skin break out.
DEAD SEA MUD MASK
Purifying Face Mask for Acne, Blackheads, and Oily Skin
This is my go-to mask for when my skin is acting up. This mask contains natural ingredients like mineral dead sea mud from Israel, shea butter, and essential oils. It unclogs my pores and strips my skin of impurities. This is one of my best weapons against breakouts.
SWELL 25 OZ. WATER BOTTLE
Mine is in the Color Blonde Wood
Swell bottles will keep your beverages cold for up to 24 hours and hot for up to 12. They're also BPA-free and reusable. These bottles come in 3 sizes: 9 oz, 17 oz, and 25 oz. I have the largest one, which can hold an entire bottle of wine (perfect for picnics).
BUFFY
Exfoliating & Moisturizing Bar
This bar is packed full of exfoliating ground rice, almonds and beans in a cocoa and shea butter base to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time. It leaves a waxy layer on your skin that lasts for hours, keeping skin moisturized all day long. I use ocean salt before I shave, and the Buffy after for super smooth legs.
TRADITIONAL MEDICINALSÂ HERBAL TEA
Chamomile with Lavender
This is my favorite herbal tea to sip on before bed or when I want to relax. This blend has a floral taste with calming qualities. The coolest part is that the lavender comes from small organic farms in Bulgaria, while the chamomile is from Fair Trade family farms in Egypt.
FACE & BODY MIST
By Colorado Aromatics
I LOVE these face mists! I purchased mine at the Boulder Farmer's market, but they are available online as well. My favorite ones are lavender and rose water. These are the most refreshing mists and smell absolutely incredible. I like to use it as a facial toner after the shower or keep in my bag for when I need a little mid-day refresher!
VOLCANO FOOT MASK
By Lush
This is my favorite product to use after a long day on my feet! I love this foot mask because it's a 3-in-1. It's made with fresh papaya, which helps remove dead skin, as well as tomatoes and essential oils that help deodorize. Once a week, I slather this mask over my feet, wrap them in plastic wrap, and prop them up for 10-20 minutes. Instantly feel your aches and paints of the day vanish!
COCONUT REISHI DEODORANT
by Alaffia
In the scent lavender & charcoal
This is my favorite deodorant, and the only natural one that actually works for me. Charcoal is an odor eliminator, and the lavender is SO potent. The coconut oil helps the deodorant spread smoothly, and unlike other charcoal deodorants, this one applies completely clear!
NEEM TURMERIC SHAMPOO
By Alaffia
In the scent rosemary & tea tree
Alaffia shampoo is one of my faves! Their natural formula is packed full of nutrients to help you grow longer and stronger hair! Neem and rosemary help stimulate hair growth, while tea tree helps unclog hair follicles and nourish your roots.
