10 Natural Skin-Saving Beauty Secrets

Nov 4, 2009

by MelissaAq

Everyone has products that they swear by - this is my list of daily products that keep my skin, face, hair, and body feeling healthy. I may not have the best skin out there, but as long as it feels the best it can be, I can't complain!

JASON Vitamin E Oil

My skin has never really been *awful* but it has it's moments of flaring up. To help heal my skin I typically apply Vitamin E oil before bed. Most people know of Vitamin E as a fix for scars and stretch marks, but it's also a great moisturizer! It makes my skin soft, removes redness, and of course helps eliminate any scarring from breakouts. I only buy it in it's pure form - I don't like any other oils mixed in. It's a bit sticky but once you rub it in it's not so bad. I swear by it!!

Queen Helene Natural Facial Apricot Scrub

I love exfoliating my face. I once heard that exfoliation is the best thing you can do to get glowing skin because it helps regenerate new skin growth. Regardless, I love the way my skin feels after exfoliating. This scrub is all-natural and smells delicious.

Alba Botanica Lip Gloss, Coconut Cream

I'm not so into wearing lipstick or lipgloss on my lips - what is the POINT if it doesn't moisturize? So I found this natural lip gloss and love it - it smells good enough to eat, gives my lips a glossy shine, and conditions to boot!

Benefit Cosmetics Benetint

A great product. Read my full review here!

*Note: The natural qualities of the product are up for debate. Until I get to poke around in their factory, I'm still going to use it :)
See the full review, "Fantastic flush from a fabulous blush!".

BASS Combination Bristle Brush

I have curly hair so most of the time it is more damaging to brush my hair than it is to not....but when I do, I love using this brush. It's got both wild boar bristles as well as regular bristles so your hair is shiny and soft as well as detangled.

Love this list! My mom used to use Vitamin E capsules on her face regularly...I think I may have to be a chip off the ol' block and use vitamin E!

This Midwest raised boy will neither confirm nor deny that he might try a couple of these products. I mean, what's the harm in eating some cashews? :) Actually, I might try that vitamin E oil as I have dry skin which also gets sensitive when I shave. Shhhh...don't tell anyone back in Michigan!

I had no idea that Queen Helene made facial products, too. I'm going to have to check out that Vitamin B Oil and the coconut oil. Thanks for the awesome list! :)

By the way, I totally recommend this Burt's Bee Orange Essense Facial Cleanser! Cleanses, moisturizes, and is all natural! :)
