5 Products I Love Using Right Now (Face & Hair Care!)

I'm always on the look-out for products that make my life easier, enhance my routines or are just new to me.  Whether I'm reading a blog post, flipping through a magazine or talking to my hairdresser, I love coming across something new, especially if it works great! 


5 products I'm loving right now



For My Face


T.N. Dickinson's Astringent, 100% Natural, Witch Hazel 16 fl oz (473 ml)

Get it on Amazon here

I first read about this in Martha Stewart's Living magazine and while I've used it for a while, I've recently been adding it to my Essential Oil blends.  I use Melaleuca and Frankincense with it for my toner and with the Protective Blend for hand sanitizer.


Oh my goodness!  Do I love this soap. And yes, it is black. The first time I used it, I couldn't believe how wonderful my face felt!  It didn't dry it out, but left it feeling super smooth.  I read about this one in InStyle magazine, I believe, but they were out of stock the first time I tried to order it - so glad I tried again!  Mule Hell Trading Company (when this was originally posted it was on sale!)

Here is another Martha Stewart Living find:



Eucerin Face Lotion is one I have been using for quite a few years, but every summer I am reminded why I am so grateful for it . With its SPF 30, I use it once in the morning and then I don't have to worry about putting on more sunscreen throughout the day.  It is lightweight,  has no odor and goes on smoothly.

For My Hair

 After washing my hair, I add one squirt of the Coconut Milk Serum - that all I need for my longer hair (side note- for my daughter I use less or else her hair looks a little greasy as she has short hair).  I start at the ends and then work it up.  It has a great smell, give my hair a healthy sheen and also works as a great detangler.  
Dry shampoo . . .  well, since my hair is long right now, and it takes a generous amount of effort on my part to actually "do" it, I've been trying to wash it less.  Not Your Mother's was recommended by my hairdresser after another one I had tried was an absolute flop.   It comes in an easy aerosol spray and absorbs quickly when brushed through my hair.  I've been very happy with it every time I use it and I feel like I don't need to use a whole lot - mainly on the roots of my hair.  (side note - I know a LOT of people feel like their hair is too greasy after not washing it for a day, but I found this helps with that and the more my hair got used to not being washed, the less of the dry shampoo I needed to use).

That's it!  Do you use any of these? Are there any great  face or hair products you love right now?  I'd love to hear about them!
