My favorite natural products for face, hair and nails
For anyone who knows me, I opt for natural products, from cleaning supplies to beauty products, I've done my research and found my go-to products and brands.
For my face…
For the past year, I've made taking care of my face a priority, especially because after I turned thirty, and after being back in California for the past five years, my face needed more moisture. I get a facial every two months but to maintain healthy skin between those facials, I use natural products. I also don't want products with TONS of chemicals so here are my favs:
I love John Masters Bearberry Skin Balancing Face Wash. It's absolutely amazing. I was sad last year because it sold out for almost the whole year but thankfully it's back (another clear sign of how great this product is). It's a foam face wash and smells very earthy but it keeps my face well moisturized and it has great ingredients. Plus, John Masters usually has sales through the year making this face wash a lot cheaper than the $24 price tag.
To lock in moisture, I use Evan Healy's hydrosouls after cleansing my face in the morning and evening. In the evening,I also add Evan Healy's serum to my face for extra moisture, but only at night because it is a bit more lubricated than the lighter hydrosouls. Currently, I'm using Evan Healy's Pomegranate Repair Serum and Lemon Thyme Hydrosoul. These products are pricier and I've noticed Evan Healy's website rarely has deals but their products are sold through third party sellers, including Whole Foods Market and Sprouts Farmers Market and with their 25% body and beauty care deals throughout the year, it's easy to save on Evan Healy's pricey products.
I also put some Biotique spf lotion on my face, which is a brand from India but you can find it online as well.i love how it's 100% natural and uses ayurvedic ingredients, too. I love how they have high SPFs in their mositurizers! It's super cheap if you're ever in India hehe but otherwise grab some online.
For my nails…
I love Ella+Mila and 100% Pure for more natural mail polish options without formaldehyde and the other chemicals that are found in leasing brand nail polishes. I love how Ella+Mila is a 7-free brand and 100% Pure is a 10-free nail polish brand because they don't use those strong chemicals that are bad for the body. I use the base and top coats from Ella+Mila and alternate between Ella+Mila and 100% Pure nail polishes. They're about the Same price as OPI but I feel better about using them. FYI, the Ella+Mila nail polishes do have a stronger smell but I still like them.
These two brands sell other amazing products for skin, hair, and face. I highly recommend you give them a try!
For my hair…
First, I get hair cuts every 6-8 weeks to rain my ends. I also use lots of coconut oil to keep my hair soft and moisturized in the dry California weather.
I started using 100% Pure Burdock & Neem Healthy Scalp Shampoo. They have other shampoos for hair repair and normal hair and I feel good knowing my hair is in good hands! They also have a 20% sale going on now so it definitely brings the price down :)
