lotion, cream, soap, oil…the best of the best skincare lines that work
Best body and face care on Planet Earth is from New Zealand (No surprise, whatsoever.) The Activator 7 oil is a year-round must.
Sans [ceuticals] pure, active + multi-functional beauty
The ultimate in organic skincare - glass jars put it over the golden edge. Try their lemongrass-scented shampoo bar and hand-sanitizer.
Ishga UK
This is a visually yummy, long-lasting soap that I plan to stock up on the next time I'm in Ireland
Feile - Palm Free Irish Soap
On the Isle of Skye in the wee town of Uig, this goats milk line has a splendid Rosewood & Geranium shampoo bar.
Scottish Goats Milk Soap Company: Goats Milk Soap handmade in ...
Florence, Italy's best skin care, originating in the year 1221. I love their Melograno (pomegranate in Italian) bath salts and soap.
Santa Maria Novella
Best sunscreen for all over. Great scent, and lives in your purse. Yay, Japan.
Expert Sun Protector Clear Stick SPF 50+ - Shiseido
Love this lightweight-for-summer shea butter handcream. The rosewater scent is my favorite.
Shea Butter Lotion | Collections
This is a superb facial sunscreen - so light and creamy - it blends right in with no white residue. Light and pleasant scent, and beautiful jar.
SPF 30 Moisturizer | That Big Screen
I love this face cream! It is so smooth and creamy, almost marshmallow-y in texture. Je t'adore!!
Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer | That Blockbuster - JLO Beauty
This is optimal deodorant - even better than Native. It works all day, and the scents are like wearing a base layer of subtle perfume. Worth the $20.

This is my favorite facial wash - I keep one in my gym bag and next to my sink. It dissolves makeup, and the texture is satin-smooth.
Gel Cream Cleanser
My shower gel go-to. Forever. Peppermint every time. Grab the shower-scrunchie and lather up.
Buy Peppermint Castile Soap - Liquid Wash for Body, Home & More
I love the Aveda line - it has been a tried-and-true product since the late 70s. Be Curly is my current go-to. Buy it in the States - I overpaid for my last bottle while in Ireland. Don't ask me.
be curly advanced™ shampoo - Aveda
Aveda is classic - the Cherry Almond Softening conditioner has been on my shower shelf since its inception in 2018. It smells edible. A little goes a long way.

These fragrances are from US, Ireland, and England. (Sorry, Scotland)
This is a clean, non-chemical fragrance by Michelle Pfeiffer. Windows Down is my summer fragrance when I'm in the US; Menace is my (wear in) Ireland scent, and Jake's House is what I wear in Scotland. A fragrance per country! Try it.
Henry Rose
I love the Piper fragrance. I bought it at the gift shop at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England, the Pemberly-home of Mr. Darcy in the 2005 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.

Teeth and lips need love, too. These products are those that provoke joy, and I am not afraid to ingest.
My morning ritual - I first discovered it in Scotland, along with the Euthymol, at their drugstore called Boots. It is high-quality, minty fresh goodness in a vintage metal tube.
Classic Strong Mint Toothpaste
My nighttime ritual toothpaste. I found it at Boots in Scotland, along with the Marvis, and am addicted. Cinnamon flavor in a pink paste, packaged in a vintage metal tube with red poppies in honor of the British war veterans. Made in Korea, but first...
Euthymol Original Toothpaste 75ml - Boots
I found this in Buxton, England. The throwback tin slide-top with a gorgeous glide and scent.
Cinder Rose Lip Balm
I found this in Sligo, Ireland. Lovely distinctive red tint with a smooth, nourishing lip-balm finish. It is the full extent of my makeup routine.
