Natural Lip Balm for Moisturized, Smooth Lips

Shea One-Minute Hand Scrub
This is my go-to when my hands are dry or overworked. It’s rich without being greasy, sinks in fast, and actually keeps my skin soft for hours. A little feels like a reset—like I’ve taken care of myself even on the busiest days.
Moisturizing French Hand Creams
While the shower is warming up, start at the ankle, and brush up in long strokes. Circle motion around the belly button. Wrists into chest, long strokes. Aim towards the heart. Careful on your chest- sensitive skin!

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Hairspray
