Skincare
Naturium
Multi-Peptide Moisturizer
Designed to target fine lines and wrinkles, this moisturizer by Naturium uses a multi-peptide blend of encapsulated vitamin C and panthenol to deliver smooth, youthful-looking skin in days. I love its formula because its light on the skin, absorbs quickly, and helps brighten the complexion.
Customer Review: “I have oily skin and this product provides just the right amount of moisture and isn’t irritating around the eyes. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin soft and smooth. It wears well under makeup and doesn’t pill.”
Hero
Rescue Balm +Dark Spot Retouch Color-Correcting Apricot Cream
To disguise the appearance of redness, discoloration, and hyperpigmentation I like to use Hero’s Rescue Balm +Dark Spot Retouch for color correction. Its formula has a nourishing blend of antioxidants and peptides to restore tired, dry-looking skin to its healthiest state.
Customer Review: “I just started wearing this dark spot retouch under my eyes and the difference is night and day. It’s crazy. I now look like I got a full nights sleep and I look younger. I haven’t tried this on any ‘post-zits’ yet, but I’ll keep you updated.”
Blue Lagoon
Lava Scrub Mask
Once or twice a week, I like to use a refreshing scrub mask to help cleanse my skin of the NYC gunk its constantly exposed to. This is one of my top picks because it uses the exfoliating properties of bioactive lava to regenerate cell turnover. After I use it, my skin is always left looking bright and smooth.
Customer Review: “This is a nice exfoliating scrub that has the right amount of grit to feel like it’s doing the job without being overly harsh. A little bit goes a long way. I like to scrub my face when I first get in the shower then let the mask stay on my face, rinsing it off when I’m about to get out.”
NuFace
Hydrating Aqua Gel
If you’re using a NuFace device, then consider also purchasing their Hydrating Aqua Gel. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and glacial water to help your skin attract and lock in moisture, this gel works by conducting a NuFace device’s micro-current down to your facial muscles.
Customer Review: “I look forward to using this with my Trinity micro-current device every day. My skin feels hydrated and soft. I haven’t had any issues with sensitivity, and I just rub it into my face and neck after the treatment. The gel is lightweight and doesn’t have any fragrance; it’s not sticky either. I love it!”
Sulwhasoo
First Care Activating Sheet Mask
If I’m not already using a scrub mask, then you can bet I’m treating my skin to this Sulwahsoo First Care Activating Sheet Mask. Infused with approximately 3-weeks worth of the brands iconic First Care Activating Serum VI, each sheet mask delivers hydration to the skin and strengthens its barrier.
Customer Review: “This sheet mask stands out for its ability to hydrate and nourish the skin effectively.The pros are clear, with the mask delivering a great moisturizing experience. Whether you’re looking to revitalize dry skin or provide an extra boost of hydration, this sheet mask proves to be a reliable choice.”
Haircare and Styling
Verb
Strong Hold, Frizz Free Forming Fiber
As an ex-dancer, I know my way around hairsprays. This one offers amble frizz-free strong hold while also offering the flexibility for your strands to be styled. Ideal for all hair types, it works especially well with heating tools and locking in up-dos and curls for all-day wear.
Customer Review: “I really love my Verb hairspray. It gives me great lift and volume, and offers a long lasting hold. I like the scent too. I am glad it dries quickly as well. I highly recommend this hairspray. It actually does what it promises!”
One of the things I’ve struggled most in the past is having to rely on oils that weight down my strands. Verb’s Ghost Oil does the opposite thanks to a blend of moringa oil, green tea extract and vegan protein that eliminates frizz and smooth flyaways while adding all-over shine.
Customer Review: “This tops every product I have tried on my frizzy hair, and there have been what feels like millions. No greasiness or weighing hair down. Attacks the problem and just reapply as necessary without worrying about that heavy greasy look.”
Drybar
Liquid Glass High Gloss Smoothing Blowout Cream
I’m planning on wearing my hair in bouncy, full silk presses once fall weather hits. Because my hairstylist swears by using this high gloss blowout cream on my strands to help lock in the silkiness of the silk press, I’m finally adding it to my own beauty cabinet to help extend the wear time of my style.
Customer Review: “This product has been giving me the smoothest blowout ever. I use it after shower and I apply two pumps, starting from the roots and all the way to the ends. I blow dry my hair and style them. The hair style lasts for 2-3 days and it’s great.”
GHD
Platinum+ Styler 1″ Flat Iron
If you’ve ever gotten a silk press, then you know that sometimes using a flat iron to touch up flyaway strands and edges helps restore the salon-like finish. Days after my trip to the salon, I like to use this smart flat iron with predictive technology and monitors its heat 250 times per second for stress-free styling.
Customer Review: “This straightener is perfect. The effect it has on hair leaves it shiny and smooth. It doesn’t dry your hair like other straighteners. [It has] perfect performance as described.”
Shark
SpeedStyle For Curly & Coily Hair
For the days between silk press appointments, I’ll be wearing my 4c curls out. To help give them more definition, I’ll be using Shark’s SpeedStyle to for fast, heat-damage free styling. It has two streams of high-speed airflow that dries my hair in record time; cutting my wash days down by at least an hour or two.
Customer Review: “I absolutely love this hairdryer and the attachments. It is so much lighter than my traditional shaped hairdryer! I have a ton of hair and this has cut my drying time by about 20%. Very much worth the expense, if it holds up!”
Bodycare
As someone who’s always suffered from ingrown hairs, the Fur Oil has made a huge difference in how my skin looks and feels post-shave with a nourishing formula that features grape seed, jojoba, clary sage, and tea tree oils. TBH, I can’t remember what my shaving routine was like without it.
Customer Review: “This really helps with razor burn and itchy skin after shaving or when the hair grows back! It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, smells great, and a little bit goes a long way! Also doesn’t feel heavy or oily.”
Cay Skin
Deepwater Hydrating & Soothing Body Crème
A good shaving routine always includes restoring moisture back in to the skin for a bump-free finish. The Deepwater Hydrating & Soothing Body Crème is one of my top picks to do the job because its infused with four of my favorite ingredients: sea moss, niacinamide, aloe stem cells, vitamin E, and hibiscus.
Customer Review: “Obsessed! It’s super hydrating and nourishing and the scent is incredible. The scent is warm yet subtle and super light. Smells and feels delicious and I’ll definitely be adding this lotion to my daily routine!”
Saltair
KP Body Smoother 5% Glycolic Acid Body Scrub
During my ‘everything’ showers, I always like to use a body scrub to help buff away old skin cells. This one is a favorite of mine because it combats bumps and reveals smooth, radiant skin with a formula that’s not overly abrasive on my sensitive skin like so many body scrubs I’ve tested.
Customer Review: “Left my skin feeling dreamy smooth! I couldn’t believe how well this stuff works. I paired it with the body oil and my skin feels like it did 20 years ago!”
Phlur
Tangerine Boy Body Lotion
Another body moisturizer I love is Phlur’s Tangerine Boy-Scented Lotion. Not only does it offer the olfactory experience of one of the brand’s bestselling fragrances (a blend of apple, tangerine, jasmine petal, pepper, and more), but it’s formulated with nourishing botanical ingredients and oils to keep the skin silky and hydrated.
Customer Review: “This lotion smells wonderful I paired with the perfume and it works well. The lotion has a nice consistency it’s not watery nor super thick it’s just right goes on smoothly.”
Moroccanoil
Shimmering Body Oil
What’s life without a little shimmer? This body oil delivers a healthy radiance to the skin using soft pearlescent minerals and antioxidant-rich argan oil and sesame oil. It’s also fragranced with the brand’s signature Moroccanoil scent: an enchanting blend of spicy amber and sweet florals.
Customer Review: “Love to use the Moroccanoil Shimmering Body Oil on top of Body Butter (even more fun in the summer on top of bronzer/faux tan on my legs. Also cant beat the extra moisture in the desert heat!”
