I’ve tried out a lot of different skin and hair products lately, and these are ones I love!
The Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash [(1) $10] has a great citrus-y scent that leaves me feeling awake and refreshed post-shower. It also has a great lather, easy pump dispenser, and a super affordable price. I wanted to try the Intuition f.a.b. Razor [(2) $15.98] after learning that f.a.b. stands for ‘forward and back’ because this razor shaves in both directions. I love how quickly I can shave my legs when I don’t have to lift the razor off my skin. I have yet to accidentally nick myself and it leaves my legs completely smooth.
I usually stick to drugstore skincare products but I really wanted to try the Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme [(3) $38] given all the positive reviews. I didn’t realize how dry that area of my skin was until I started using this super rich moisturizer. Over time, the texture around my eyes has become so much smoother. It is very pricey but I’ve been using it daily for about 6 months and I still have 2/3 of the container left!
I’ve found two new hair products recently that have really helped me maintain my hair’s health and color. The IGK Mistress Hydrating Hair Balm [(4) $29] cuts down my blow dry time and leaves my thick wavy hair smooth and soft. I love the gel consistency of this balm; it is not greasy at all and has an amazing coconut scent. Lastly, I have been using the Klorane Vinegar Shine Rinse with Chamomile [(4) $18] to keep my blonde highlights bright between salon visits. Bleached hair tends to pick up unwanted tones over time since the cuticle of the hair has been opened up. When you wash your hair with unfiltered water the minerals in the water can build up under the cuticle of your bleached hair and make it look brassy over time. I use this vinegar rinse (diluted in water as per the instructions) at the very end of my shower to remove any mineral buildup that may have occurred. It also leaves hair shiny and tangle-free.
