Helps lock in moisture after serums etc. It's lightweight, perfect for warmer climates where Vaseline would be too much. Good for Gua Sha!

Lymphatic drainage and exfoliation, while retaining moisture in the skin.

Love dry brushing for exfoliating and lymphatic drainage. This one is great because you can easily reach your back!

I shower with this after my chemical exfoliant. It reintroduces moisture to the skin. And, I love the faint almond scent it leaves behind!

All the Dr. Bronner's soaps are amazing, especially because they don't strip your skin! My go-to affordable hand soap option.

Perfect for a housewarming gift or a 'treat yourself' moment! This soap does not dry out your hands & smells heavenly.

Definitely overkill, BUT if you're looking to splurge... My favorite duo! The soap isn't stripping, smells heavenly, and the balm is lush.
