Hey guys! I’m back with a new post! I got inspired in writing this post after watching a lot of #showertok reels. My favorite from this whole list of products is The Body Shop 24 Hour Intense Moisture For Dry Skin with Cold-Pressed Strawberry Seed Oil because it’s heavy and thick in consistency and just always comes through for me every winter. I use lighter consistencies for spring and summer such as the Holika Holika Aloe Vera with a mixture of the Fourth Ray and Aveeno Lavender and Chamomile lotion. I don’t tend to get facial acne, but I do get body acne on my back. I noticed that if I used a physical exfoliating product, and let my back soak in the shower, my back acne goes away. So physical exfoliating products are a must in my body care. Around fall, I use either the summer/spring combo or just use my winter go-to moisturizer.
Also, one trick that I learned with my specific skin type (dehydrated), is that products tend to layer nicely if I sprayed toner all over my legs and arms before I put on my moisturizers. I use the Naturie toner for this and my skin feels really plump and healthy afterward. Not to mention that the application goes smoothly (not much of a resistance) so that it doesn’t feel like a chore, moisturizing my thighs, legs, arms, and neck. It always felt daunting to moisturize every time after I shower because you have to cover a huge area of skin as opposed to doing skincare on your face which you can accomplish in a few simple pats. I’ve always hated putting on moisturizer before I discovered the whole toner trick.
I forgot to take a photo of my current shaving gel. But it’s the Gillette Satin Care Sensitive Skin Twin Pack that I get for $5 at Target. I love it! I constantly repurchase it. I’m almost out, so I’ll snap a photo and update this photo later. But you can also see it in one of my Empties posts if you feel inclined to peruse through other products I’ve used before.
I also don’t have a current go-to shaving tool at the moment. I used to like the Harry’s brand, but ever since they reached out to influencers, I found their quality to have gone down (way down) a notch. I’m on the hunt to look for new ones. I think I’ll grab a huge pack (of a new brand to try) at either Costco or Sam’s Club once I’m out of what I currently have. I’m also trying to use up this Venus shaving set from Target. I liked the sensitive line, but they changed it up and I really hate it now, because it doesn’t last very long. Anyway, I’m thinking of trying the Dollar Shave Club next, because I heard it comes with 6-blades (which is so exciting) and I used to use 5-blades.
Edit: I'm sorry I forgot to add the current deodorant I'm loving. It's from Native in Candy Cane. They have other scents too on their website, but this is just the one I found at Target during the holidays and I like the teeny size that it comes in. It makes it easier to finish up.

- I only say “maybe” because it takes me forever to empty body products, but I know for sure that I’m gonna use the plain Jergen’s body lotion that my mom uses all the time after I’m done with the current products in my rotation. My mom just smells so good in whatever fragrance she wears and she always smells so nice!
