Recycle or repurchase? That is the question. As you know, I get all of my favorite natural skincare products from Vitacost.com. But after trying so many great things, I have to decide if I’m going to toss the empties in the recycling bin or place another order ASAP! Watch my latest beauty haul to find out what’s a keeper and why.
Anything by Andalou Naturals is usually a winner in my beauty bag, because they’re gluten free, cruelty-free, non-GMO and make my skin look and feel amazing. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried all of their products…yet. I’m on a mission and will have to follow-up on some of the new buys. For now, here’s a quick glance at what I can’t live without.
- Andalou Naturals Citrus Kombucha Cleansing Gel: This is a new cleanser for me, but I’m almost out of my other one. The pure ingredients and fresh smell are promising.
- Andalous Naturals Clementine + C Illuminating Toner: Use this right after cleansing to get rid of excess oil, and it won’t leave your skin feeling too tight or dry.
- Andalou Naturals Ultra Sheer Daily Defense Facial Lotion with SPF 18: From the age-defining line, this sheer lotion is great for everyday use – especially under makeup.
- Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Pearl Exfoliator – Sensitive: I’m excited to try this new rose-infused line of products. This exfoliator promises to renew, repair and regenerate with fruit stem cells. I’ll feature it in my Friday Favorites if it’s worth repurchasing, so check back.
- Andalou Naturals Turmeric + C Enlighten Serum: I know it’s a small bottle, but it will last longer than you think!
- Andalou Naturals Aloe Mint Body Lotion: I haven’t tried it yet, but the cooling effects of aloe vera can’t be beat.
- Giovanni Soothing Makeup Remover Towelettes: On lazy days or when I don’t want to use coconut oil to take off makeup, these towelettes are my go-to.
- Heritage Products Rose Petals Rose Water Spray: If your skin gets dry after a day at the beach, a spritz of this will instantly hydrate.
- Reviva Labs Alpha Lipoic Acid Vitamin C Ester and DMAE Cream: It’s paraben-free and a nice light-weight gel consistency, which is perfect for nighttime. When you wake up the next day, your pores are tight and skin is all aglow – seriously the best!
- Avalon Organics Lavender Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub: It’s very gentle and calming – must be the lavender and lack of parabens, sulfates and all that junk.
- Waxelene: This is a much healthier, non-petroleum choice for a lip balm that you can just throw in your purse.
