I have used this off and on for the last few years and really love it! I don’t always remember to buy more until my face starts acting up again, but when I have a bottle it’s used daily! Helps with my skin’s general texture and look.

I gave this a try and loved it! It works best when I’m pairing it with Kosas makeup as well, but I’ve used it on its own and it still did me good!

I have been using this since I was in high school. I use it regularly for a face mask when I’m having bad breakouts but I’ve also recently started using it as a hair mask and it has really helped with curl definition!

Not only does this smell amazing, but it softens my skin like none other! I use it weekly in the shower, before the body wash, and it’s so good!
Brown Sugar & Coconut Butter Body Scrub

I always use an antibacterial soap before I exfoliate and wash. This makes sure I’m extra clean! As a plus-size woman, or even a woman in general, we’ve got places that need the antibacterial oomph! This gets the job done!
Gold Antibacterial Bar Soap

Add a small amount on top of the lotion and you’re good to go! This stuff goes a long way and makes sure all that moisture is locked in!

Lock it all in with a small amount of this stuff over the lotion at the very end and you’re good for the day! I love this when I know I’m about to be outside, in dry weather, etc.
