I love Nudebody’s Exfoliating Butter Body Wash. This stuff really foams, and yet it is clean. Most clean cleansers get a minimal lather, but not this one. The packaging is simple yet chic and looks great on my shower shelf. You do not need to use a loofah with it, but you can. It uses salt, salicylic acid, papaya enzymes and glycolic acid, to exfoliate and citrus butter to hydrate. I like a chemical exfoliation in the shower since I find a lot of scrubs use a material that is too weak or too strong. My skin feels soft and clean after use. It is scented but I found the scent to be light, and doesn’t stay on the skin. I think all skin types would like this product, and the packaging is somewhat gender neutral.

Orpheus’s Resurrection Serum Slip Cleanser. It’s the perfect cleanser whether you want a deep clean or a gentle touch. To start with my favorite thing about this cleanser is that it can become a flash mask. Simply create a lather with a few pumps and leave it on for five minutes. You will immediately notice a deeper exfoliation. When used just as a cleanser it removes dirt and makeup. I would double cleanse or use an eye makeup remover when wearing a heavier beat. This cleanser uses amino acids to to exfoliate while a the gentle micro foam conditions and brightens. The ingredient highlights are not things you see in an everyday cleanser like, Orpheus Flower Cell Peptide Complex, Lime Pearl Extract, and a Bioactive mineral Complex. It is safe for sensitive skin and uses no fragrances, toxins, or parabens. 

is just a few steps away with Perfect Skin products from Christie Kidd. I have been using the Clean Natural Facial Cleanser on nights when I really need a deep clean. Makeup and grime are no match for this cleanser. It reduces oil, bacteria, and blemishes. It uses natural oils and plant extracts to get the job done. It gets a good lather and leaves skin feeling very clean. I used the Fresh Pads on my chest when I had a bit of a breakout. It cleared to nothing in two days. These exfoliating pads use Witch Hazel, Willow Bark Extract and Ginger Root to rid dead skin and blemish causing bacteria. I highly recommend checking out this line if you have acne, or occasional breakouts. 

This incredible new skincare line Kadalys. Kadalys uses the power of Banana Bio actives as their power ingrediant in this amazing sustainable, natural, line. I love their Cleansing Pure Melt Gel In Oil. I have never tried an “oil cleanser” with this consistency. When you apply it to dry skin it feels less like an oil and more like a jellyish cleanser. When you rinse with water it quickly turns to a milky cleanser. My skin was left very soft, and it removed all the makeup I had on. There also wasn’t a film feeling left. So get Kadalys and feel fruity..

has never disappointed me. Tatcha continues to have some of the best products out there and the prettiest packaging. Lately I’ve been using their The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser and the best selling Violet-C Brightening Serum. The cleanser gently removes all makeup and dirt while minimizing excess oil and uncloging my pores. It is gel like and turns to a creamy foam. The Violet-C is 20% Vitamin C with 10% AHA’s. This is designed to brighten and strengthen skin for a more radiant look. The directions say to use it at night but I used it in the daytime after the Tatcha Essence and followed with moisturizer and sunblock. Check out Tatcha, they won’t let you down. 

in my skincare. I have been using Attitude’s Super Leaves Micellar Foaming Cleansers. Their Super Leaf extracts clean and moisturize your skin. The face wash removes impurities without drying out skin. The line is EWG verified an vegan. So give and get Attitude, your skin will thank you…

in my skincare. This past month I have been using and loving Raw Beauty Co’s skincare line. The line is designed to give you smoother, younger looking skin without the use of harsh chemicals. They use the “world’s most exotic ingredients, organic tropical botanicals, herbal infusions, and essential vitamins & minerals.” My favorites in the line are the BalancedBeauty Serum and Brightener as well as the Beautiana Daily Cleanser & Remover. The serum is a Vitamin C base that exfoliates and brightens. It is enriched with Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and plant and fruit extracts. Skin is left balanced, hydrated, and protected. I use the Beautiana cleanser day and night. It is very gentle yet removes dirt and makeup. It’s enhanced with conditioning properties to soothe and tighten skin. I recommend checking out the whole line. Natural skincare has come a long way. 

in my cup and now on my body. I’ve been using Juara Skincare’s Invigorating Coffee Scrub. What I love most about this scrub is not only does it exfoliate but it also cleanses. It has sulfate free cleansing agents that activate when working it in to your skin. The scrub is gentle and leaves skin soft. It boosts circulation and is said to tighten skin and fight cellulite. So wake up your skin with Juara, and get it on in the morning….

I’ve added some additions to my beauty vanity this month. Summer means skins, and here’s how I’m taking care of mine;

At night I’m washing my face with Peter Thomas Roth’s 3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser. It is anti-aging & exfoliating. It removes my makeup and any excess oil. The Glycolic Acid shrinks pores, improves clarity and reduces fine lines. 

For day and night Eye Cream I’m using Park Perfection’s 2 in 1 Instant Eye Lift. It’s designed to tighten and lift the eye skin while reducing wrinkles and puffiness. It uses minerals, peptides and antioxidants to balance and enhance skin around the eye. 

I was overdue for a new foundation brush. I am very happy with NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation Brush. It’s designed for liquid but i’ve used it with my powders as well. It blends perfectly. I love that is it angled to get around every curve of your face. 

I am obsessed with Macadamia Professional Nourishing Repair Oil Spray. It’s officially summer, which means I’m not drying my hair. I let it air dray and then add this spray for a finished look. It has an ultra fine spray and instantly adds shine, moisture, softness, and uv protection. It says to use on wet hair, but I’ve been using it on both wet and dry.
