My Highly Recommended Cosmetic Products

One of the best shampoo and conditioner duos on the market, Kristen Ess’s Signature Shampoo and Conditioner.

Kristen Ess Signature Shampoo and Conditioner

I absolutely love my Kristen Ess shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo makes my hair feel cleaner than any other shampoo I’ve ever used, and the conditioner leaves my hair so soft and shiny. Before using this duo I was using a hair oil to help my dead ends and since using the shampoo and conditioner, I haven’t needed to use the oil.

My personal favorite cleanser for the winter time, the CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser.

CeraVe Acne Control Cleanser

Like many others with Iowa’s harsh weather conditions, I have struggled to find a face wash that I can use in the summer and the winter. I love using the CeraVe cleanser in the wintertime. It really helps my acne so much. I struggled for a long time with acne due to fash washes and body washes that contained little beads, but this cleanser does not contain any beads and helps fight my acne, and not just big pimples but also my blackheads. The only issue I find I have with this cleanser is that since I use it in the wintertime, my face can get pretty dry if I don’t apply any moisturizer after I wash my face.

My favorite cleanser for the summertime, Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

As I have stated above, I have trouble finding a face wash that works in both the winter and summer. I love using Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash in the summertime. With the high temperatures in the summer, and being outside all day sweating I found that this face wash is one of the best to fight sweat pimples. This face leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed, but not dry.

The best caffeinated moisturizer to wake your skin up in the morning is Origins GinZing Energizing Gel Cream with Caffeine.

Origins GinZing Energizing Gel Cream with Caffeine

Following the origins train, I love using my Origins GinZing Energizing Gel Cream with Caffeine. It is the perfect moisturizer to wake up your skin in the morning, plus, it smells amazing. Caffeine is a great product to help protect your skin from UV radiation, and it can also help fight against skin damage that causes wrinkles.

La Roch-Posay Toleraine Double Repair Moisturizer

This is pretty much the best and my favorite moisturizer ever, especially in the wintertime when my face gets really dry. I love using La Roch-Posay Double Repair Moisturizer to rehydrate my face and leave it feeling so nourished. I highly recommend this product to anyone, of any gender, or any age. I love how revitalizing this moisturizer is.

The best-smelling body butter, Naples Soap Company Body Butter in the scent Sunkissed.

Naples Soap Company Body Butter specifically in Sunkissed

While on vacation in Naples Florida, I happened to come across this shop that sold bath bombs, lotions, chapsticks, and much much more. While browsing, I came across this one lotion and absolutely fell in love. The sunkissed body butter not only smells amazing, but it makes my skin feel amazing as well. I love that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky afterwards like most other lotions. Naples Soap Company Body Butter is probably my favorite lotion, and they offer many other amazing smells.

The best brush around, Wet Brush Speed Dry Brush.

Wet Brush Speed Dry Brush

After switching to Wet Brush Speed Dry Brush, I will never go back. I used to spend around ten minutes brushing my hair after a shower, and now it only takes one. Wet Brush offers many different types of brushes for all different kinds of hair, but what I love specifically about the Wet Brush Speed Dry Brush is that it works for all hair types. My sister has curly hair and doesn’t tend to brush her hair very much, but using the Wet Brush Speed Dry Brush works wonders for her knots.

Some of the surprisingly most hydrating body washes, Bath and Body Works Moisturizing Body Wash.

Bath and Body Works Moisturizing Body Wash

I struggled for many years with stubborn back acne, but this is the first body wash ever to get rid of the acne and keep it away. I love Bath and Body Works body wash. Not only do they always smell great and have many different options, but they are all made with the same ingredients so I never have to worry about getting back acne again. Any Bath and Body Works body wash contains vitamin E, aloe, shea & cocoa butter, and coconut oil.
