I've read a couple of posts from other bloggers describing the products they use, and I thought I'd do a post with some items I really love and use every day. I like to use natural and/or organic products and I feel I've had the best luck with my skin since switching over a couple years ago.
Humphrey's witch hazel is seriously the best thing I've used on my face as a facial wash. Years ago, I used a bunch of acne products even though I only had a few blemishes from time to time and it ruined my complexion. For a while I used regular soap but it left my skin feeling too dry and tight. I switched to this about two years ago, and I'll never use anything else!
I love Burt's Bees products (except their hair care line) and have especially fallen in love with this day lotion and the herbal blemish stick. The blemish stick is roll-on, so after using witch hazel, I run it over any blemishes and then use a pea sized amount of the day lotion on my face.
I've had this bottle of leave-in conditioner for such a long time, because it only takes one pump. I usually only use it on the middle to the ends of my hair for a softer, healthier look. I love Sexy Hair products in general, but this is one of my favorites.
I got this lip scrub as a gift from my Aunt, and it's so delicious (not that I eat it!) and amazing. The one ounce jar is $24, but so so worth it. It's lasted me over a year and makes my lips feel so soft. She also offers a red velvet lib scrub, which sounds tempting for sure.
No words describe how much I love Baby Lips.
This stuff has a really natural smell to it that takes some getting used to. After a few weeks of using it, I grew to love it. Traditionally, shea butter is used to reduce visibility of scars and stretch marks, and is also useful in treating sunburn and psoriasis. I can't say enough good things about shea butter. I use it every day as lotion.

Thanks for this post! I used Witch Hazel years ago and forgot all about it. The lip scrub sounds very interesting. I'm going to check it out. Been in love with Ron's Shea Butter for a year or two great product.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, Robin! You should definitely try the lip scrub! :)
DeleteTell me more about that witch hazel. Is it a soap or do you just swab it on with a cotton ball? I used to do the later when I was younger; might have to try it again!
ReplyDeletePeople with acne use it to reduce oil on the skin. I have normal skin but I really like the tightening feel it gives me, but just be sure to use facial moisturizer afterward! I just use a soft rag and rub in small circles all over so it kind of works as an exfoliant.
DeleteI've tried a couple different brands of witch hazel but this one is my favorite!
DeleteCool. Thanks, Kelsey! :)
DeleteI really need to switch to witch hazel - I adore the way that it smells and I am on the same path as you: cleanser is too rough on my complexion and soap is too harsh on my skin.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should! I love the smell as well.
DeleteWow. That's way more product then I use. When my lips feel chapped I use Burt's. The only other product I use is Clean & Clear once a day at night.
ReplyDeleteI never used to use many products, but I'd like to be proactive about my skin since I'm getting older, and aging is inevitable. Shea Butter and facial moisturizer are key! :)
DeleteHi! Just found your blog & it's adorable; I'm glad I found it! I definitely want to try some of these products now after reading about them. :) GFC is going away, btw (bloglovin' says it'll be gone in 3 weeks!). Oh, and in your about you photo you said you love craft beer! Another blogger & I do a segment once a week called Food & Beer Friday, you should check it out & link up if you want!
ReplyDeleteAww, hey! Thanks! I've kinda been holding out hope that GFC won't go away and just Google Reader will haha. The Food & Beer Friday sounds AWESOME and I'll definitely check that out. <3
