Confessions of a Product Whore
A list of all my favorite products. In no particular order, these are the things I cannot live without!
By far the most luxurious product I have ever used. Deeply hydrating, sinfully aromatherapeutic and the connection and relationship you create with yourself when using the Blue Cocoon is so healing.
The perfect cleanser is hard to find but I cracked the code! As my skin matures, I see the importance of keeping moisture in every step of my skincare routine. cue creamy cleanser. Make sure to cleanse only in the evening and just rinse with water in the morning!
The mist of my dreams. Showering my face in these delicate droplets multiple times a day is always uplifting but more importantly it delivers nutrients and hydration!
I use this every morning; it instantly lifts my skin and reduces puffiness around my eyes. A huge bonus is it helps prevent dehydration.
I am a sucker for a rich eye cream. Keep that delicate skin hydrated, reduce puffiness and boost collagen with this beautiful eye cream.
Not usually a fan of any dry shampoo but I found the unicorn of dry shampoos. All-natural, alcohol free and won’t leave a thick filmy feeling on your hair and scalp.
Maria Nila Heal Shampoo & Conditioner
Life changing for your scalp. If you’re like me and struggle with over oily yet dry and flaky scalp at the same time this is your new holy grail. Wash your hair MAX twice weekly and if you’re trying to fight that dryness and flakiness condition your scalp, too.
I used to think using spf daily was the only way, now I feel it's best to avoid use unless you’re going to be in the sun of course. This is by far the best tinted spf I have ever used and I use it in place of face makeup. use code xoxo10 for 10% off!
DNA Supernatural Vitamin A Serum
For me a retinol aka vitamin A serum is the only way. I choose natural over synthetic every time. If you currently use tretinoin (brands like Retin-A) no shade but consider trying the natural version over the synthetic. You get the same benefits without the side effects like skin lifting when getting waxed and having to avoid the sun. I use this 2-3 times a week at night in place of the blue cocoon. .
A proper natural deodorant is extremely hard to find but here is your solution. Free of aluminum, parabens, phthalates, baking soda and artificial dyes this deodorant smells like heaven and yes, it works!
I really can’t rave about this body lotion enough. The scent profile is usually not my go-to (mango coconut) but it is subtle and soft so the tropical vibes won’t overtake you. Most importantly this is the only body lotion I have ever found that makes my skin actually feel hydrated. Use daily for soft, deeply hydrated skin!
If you love a good face mask you have met your new best friend. This mask comes in a gorgeous jar of dark loose powder. Just add water mix with a brush and leave on for 15-30 minutes. The Problem Solver brightens skin, reduces inflammation and irritation, fades hyperpigmentation and boosts collagen. .
If you haven’t heard of the dilo nut (tamanu) from Fiji your life is now complete. Used for hundreds of years for its healing and beautifying properties, this is the end all be all salve. From in-grown hairs to sunburns to rashes and dry cracking skin there truly is nothing like this salve. Use it everywhere on everyone in the whole fam!
When I tell you I have searched high and low and tried every natural sunscreen out there I am not joking. Never have I been satisfied until I used Sky & Sol! With only 7 ingredients total, this sunscreen is packed with nutrients and is 80-minute water resistant. It rubs in clear without leaving a white appearance on your skin and has a classic subtle sunscreen scent. You simply will not find anything better. 10% off is applied at checkout with code tannarae!
Made with 12 wild-foraged plants from their certified organic farm in Sicily this cream soothes, softens, moisturizes and hydrates. You notice a total lift and a plumpness after just a couple days of using this! And to be honest with you, I use this as my morning moisturizer!
A daily necessity to keep skin smooth, exfoliated and in-grown free. I use this organic serum anywhere I wax or sugar to stave off in-grown hairs and keep my skin at its best. You’ll notice little to no in-growns when consistently applying this as well as fading from any previous scarring or pigmentation! Skip the manual exfoliating and try this instead.
I am obsessed with A COPPER WIRE dry brush and yes, I truly think the fine copper wire bristles make a big difference. Dry brushing (when I am consistent with it) makes me feel so energized. Yeah, the exfoliation, improved circulation and lymphatic drainage is nice too, but what I notice the most is how much energy it gives me throughout the day. It's remarkable and you need one if you don’t already use one.
I’m new to the gua sha game and now I get it. I am a convert for life. It’s not only relaxing and soothing to connect with myself every night but I totally see the lift and plumpness in my face after. Use code tannarae for 30% off site wide!
From the sexy sleek packaging to the all-organic ingredients this is the last lip balm you will ever buy. It’s unscented and essential oil free making it ideal for sensitive lips!
There you have it! A quick short list of all the best of the best and the products I could never live without!
