I don’t have the most polished of beauty routines, but it’s something I’m looking to change. I’ve always been good at creating at-home spa days for myself, but that’s not the same thing as a regular routine, though it’s still important! I’ve sorted through some of my favorite spa day items and through a bunch of new beauty products I’ve been trying out in my routine lately, just in case there’s anyone else out there whose routine could use a boost. Or who needs a starting point for their routine.
I’ve got some great makeup products like this killer mascara and this awesome eyeliner stick. I’ve also included some foot care with this foot peel mask I love to use on spa days. And there’s even a few products for the hairier mascs out there that might be looking for some good beauty products to try out; because beauty is for everyone!
Get Killer Lashes
Okay, this mascara won’t actually dispatch your enemies, but it will make your lashes absolutely stunning. You’ll look like you’ve got some fab falsies on without having to do all the work required to actually put falsies on (no one has time for all that).
Get Those Spots Under Control
Acne is not anyone’s friend. And we can’t completely prevent acne, really, but we can ease the spots and dots that come up. These patches are shaped so they can cover all sorts of places, namely your chin, without needing to cut or adjust and adjust again.
Handle Acne at the Source
There’s no foolproof way to prevent acne, but this face wash does a pretty dang good job of trying. It’s super effective at clearing your face with the benzoyl peroxide formula so you can get back to looking your best and quit wasting time trying to cover those spots.
Sunscreen is a Must in Any Beauty Routine
You should be wearing at least 30 SPF sunscreen every day, according to the American Dermatological Association. This Unseen Sunscreen is easy on and can go right under your regular makeup, or on makeup-free skin, to keep your money maker safe from the harmful rays you expose it to.
The Answer to Your Setting Spray Woes
Finding a good setting spray isn’t easy. Some leave a sort of tacky feeling on the skin, some don’t actually keep your makeup in place, and some leave your skin feeling oily. This setting spray will make a terrific new addition to your beauty routine. Spray post-makeup and be amazed!
Get Baby Soft Skin
Who doesn’t want soft skin? Scrubs like this shea sugar scrub are a great way to get rid of that dead skin and built-up dirt. The sugar in it really exfoliates your skin so it can look dewy and glowy and feel soft to the touch.
Lighten up Those Scars
Not everyone likes their scars. Personally, I love mine because they tell a story, but I’m definitely in the minority. My husband swears by this scar gel. He’s used it to lighten up several he’s gotten over the years and as someone that looks at him every single day, I can say it seems to be pretty darn effective!
Get Sun Protection on the Go
You’ve got to keep that skin safe, no matter where you are! This sunscreen stick is great for trips — to the beach or just out and about. I’ve been keeping this bad boy in my purse so I can do a quick reapplication when it’s a little too sunny out.
Avoid the Heat Damage
I’m not very big into makeup, but I am very big into styling my hair and use all sorts of tools and gadgets. This Redken heat protectant spray is my go-to to keep that heat damage to an absolute minimum. It’s great for all sorts of tools and heat levels.
Give Your Locks Some Love
It’s important that your hair is taken care of often, but not just with sprays, shampoos, and conditioners. You want to incorporate hair masks and serums like this one into your routine to give your hair strength and keep it looking shiny and smooth between washes, no matter how long you like to go.
Baggage Doesn’t Belong Under Your Eyes
We’ve all got dark circles or bags under our eyes every now and then. We miss a few hours of sleep or we’re up late crying about cute puppy videos and we’re dealing with puffy eyes the next day. This coffee bean eye cream is awesome at reducing the darkness and the puffiness and leaving your skin feeling refreshed.
I’ve Saved So Much Money And Time With This Nail Glue
I’m too busy to make an appointment at the nail salon and I can’t paint my own nails to save my life. So, I started using press-on nails and this nail glue works great! It’s easy to apply and is compact so I can take it everywhere with me. I also like their updated formula that is especially good for treating broken nails. The best part is they use healthy ingredients like Ethyl Cyanoacrylate.
Whiten Your Teeth without Breaking the Bank
Everyone wants whiter teeth, but not everyone has the money to get their teeth professionally whitened. Fortunately, this teeth whitening kit exists and it’s the bomb! It’s vegan, which is always a win, and super effective so you can see a difference in your teeth right at home — no pricey dental appointments needed!
My Go-to Eyeliner
Eyeliner, mascara, and eyebrow gel are really the only products I ever use. However, that means I’ve got to have pretty great products in each of those categories. This eyeliner is my favorite because it stays right where it should, is long-lasting, and looks terrific!
Set Your Hair up for Success
If you’re like me and you enjoy trying out different styles, you should go ahead and grab this set. I’ve been using it and it’s really helped to strengthen my hair — I’m seeing far less breakage than before. Your hair’s got a lot of work to do, give it a little hand!
Do a Little Facescaping
If you’ve got a beard, I love you.
Just kidding, but I do love your beard. You know how important it is to keep your beard in tip-top shape. This Arkam kit helps you do just that. You can get a great, barber shop shave at your bathroom counter.
Prevent Lingering Odors
Some of us can get pretty stinky. It’s no one’s fault, but it can be embarrassing. This great gel soap is awesome at cutting through odors with its tea tree and peppermint formula so you can leave the gym without worrying about bringing your gym stink with you.
24K Skin Care
Gold: Not just for jewelry anymore.
These under eye patches are terrific and effective at reducing puffiness and dark circles. You can pop them on whenever you’ve got a few minutes, peel them off, and be amazed at how much brighter and more youthful you look.
Save the Brass for the Band
You don’t want a brassy blonde, but a brassy blonde is easy to wind up with if you don’t treat your blonde hair properly. This hair mask is every blonde’s favorite color: purple! It helps to negate those yellowy, brassy undertones. You should use it as directed to avoid winding up with purple-y blonde, unless that’s what you’re going for.
Encourage Hair Growth with This Shampoo
Listen, this shampoo isn’t cheap, but if you’re looking for hair growth treatments, you’re likely not overly worried about the price tag. This caffeine-enriched shampoo helps to invigorate your scalp and encourage hair growth. This product is even gentle enough to be used in your everyday routine as a hair loss preventative!
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Your feet do a lot of work for you throughout the day. You’re on them all the time, they’ve gotta be cooped up in stinky socks and sweaty shoes. This foot peel mask is a great way to treat your feet on those spa days so you can get your foot looking fab.
When You’ve Got to Bathe on-the-Go
Look, it’s not always possible to give yourself the full-monty shower-wise. And that’s okay! Maybe you’re camping, maybe you’re incredibly pressed for time, or maybe your water isn’t working. Whatever the reason, I love having these body wipes around so I can keep my routine going in a pinch.
Treat Your Face to a Little Ice Therapy
Inflammation in your face can lead to visible puffiness and redness as well as breakouts. This frozen face mask gives you the ability to cool and calm your face to help shrink pores and keep your skin looking bright and youthful, no matter how tired and old you may feel.
Vitamins: Not Just for Your Insides
Vitamins are good for your outsides, too. Who knew? This vitamin E oil is unscented so even those with sensitive skin can use it. It’s helpful for reducing wrinkles and those fine lines that spring up, ridding yourself of dark spots, and keeping you looking youthful.
Get Your Facial Hair under Control
Beards are great, I love them, but they can be a bit unruly, especially if you’ve been blessed with curly hair. This straightener helps you keep your facial hair in order so you can put your best chin forward, or whatever that old saying is.
Floss without Floss
I don’t know anyone who likes to floss, but we’ve all been told how important it is. Fortunately, some genius created water flossers so you don’t have to spend nearly as much time flossing and you can get the just-flossed feeling without having to use that awful string.
Keep Your Chest and Back Smooth
Body hair isn’t for everyone, but it’s also not easy for everyone to rid themselves of body hair, especially when it’s on their backs. This extendable shaver allows you to shave your back without having to ask for a helping hand because when your buds say they’ve got your back, they don’t mean literally.
Bar Soap, If That’s More Your Speed
Shower gel isn’t for everyone, but you should still be able to reap the benefits of this awesome soap. It helps to keep your odor from lingering post-gym or anytime, really. It’s made with tea tree oil, peppermint, and eucalyptus for a soothing, moisturizing clean.
Get Your Hair Looking Right
Hair clay is a great, medium hold, matte way to keep your hairstyle right where you want it. Control your hair without turning into Ross from Friends. The sea salt spray in this set adds texture and a very light hold to your look for an easy, breezy effect.
Smell Fresh, Naturally
I’ve been seeing natural deodorant everywhere lately. It makes sense; who wants to use harmful chemicals on their most sensitive skin when they don’t have to? This light, bright-smelling deodorant is a natural, aluminum-free way to keep yourself smelling fresh throughout the day so you can treat yourself right and keep your stink under control.
Try a Whole New Skincare Regiment
Maybe skincare isn’t your thing, which is fine, but maybe you’ve been considering making it your thing after realizing how important good skin care is to happy, youthful skin. This great kit has everything you need to keep your skin looking fresh and clean and moisturized with its great cleanser, exfoliating scrub, and moisturizing cream.
Include an Exfoliator in Your Routine
Exfoliators are an important part of any beauty routine, though they shouldn’t necessarily be used every day — check the bottle and be sure to consult your dermatologist if you’ve got any skin conditions. This cleanser has glycolic acid, among other great ingredients, for the best cleanse possible.
This Toothbrush Will Help Whiten and Brighten Your Teeth
Dental health starts with the toothbrush you use, and this is a terrific toothbrush to use. It comes with eight heads and a traveling case and has an ultrasonic motor and a smart timer to help you brush for the proper length of time. It’s also wirelessly charged, so you’re really stepping into the future with this tool.
Just Trust Me on This One
I know a tongue scraper sounds like a super weird tool, but you really should add it to your beauty routine! It keeps your mouth smelling better, removes built-up bacteria, and generally keeps your mouth doing well. This tongue scraper comes in a two-pack and the stainless steel gadgets are washable and reusable!
Hydrate Your Lips
Your lips need hydration; they’re super sensitive skin that’s out there on the forefront every day, facing the elements. Burts Bees is my all-time favorite brand for anything lip-related. This lip balm does wonders and it’s all-natural and vegan. It really can’t get any better.
Get the Cleanest Shave
If shaving is a part of your beauty routine, you’ve got to try this terrific, moisturizing shaving cream. It’s great for your skin and helps you get a smooth, clean shave every time. If you’re not using shaving cream, start! It helps you avoid cuts and does a far better job than shampoo or shower gel.
This Set Is Giving Hold and Moisture
Ah, hair clay. It got me through the grow-out phase of my buzzcut and for that, I’ll be forever grateful. This hair clay has a matte finish and boasts a medium hold so you avoid the overdone and crunchy look, but still keep everything where it belongs. The moisturizer is great for adding some hydration to your thirsty locks.
Break Through the Tangles without Actual Breakage
Tangles are no one’s friend. They lead to breakage and ripping and all sorts of bad things. This detangler helps you work through those tangles without all the bad stuff, and this detangler is conditioning so it leaves your hair better than it found it.
