Trader Joe's Spa Face Wash with Tea Tree Oil
My husband swears by this product to keep zits at bay. The facial wash doesn’t dry out your skin — but make sure the product never gets into your eyes. That tea tree oil is super harsh.
Jason Pure Natural Shampoo, Restorative Biotin
Biotin is an ingredient in many hair growth products. While you shouldn’t expect magical hair growth overnight by using this product, you can look forward to a gentle shampoo that leaves your hair soft, more manageable, and a little fuller.
Trader Joe's Head To Toe Moisturizing Balm
When a product contains shea butter, mango seed butter, cocoa seed butter, oat kernel flour extract, apricot kernel, AND macadamia seed oil, you know you’re in for a treat. This balm isn’t greasy, and works great for elbows, knees, cuticles and for me, dry eczema patches.
Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay
If you haven’t used this product, you probably at least know someone who swears by it. You can use it as a hair mask by mixing it with apple cider vinegar, as a body mask by adding a cup of this to your bath, or a face mask by using it as it is.
Trader Joe's Coconut Body Butter
This body butter is everything you want in a moisturizing agent. It’s thick, smooth, frothy and incredibly buttery. It also smells incredible!
Weleda Skin Food
I’ll admit that the smell of this product isn’t for everyone, but if you suffer from crazy dry skin, this will help you heaps. The texture is thick and greasy, but it absorbs quickly leaving all your bits hydrated and soft.

Trader Joe's Lavender Sea Salt Body Scrub
When you enjoy exfoliating as much as I do, you don’t want to be forking out $20 for a tub of scrub. This tub is purse-friendly, and it’s invigorating. Use it in a bath and the lavender will lull you into a deep sleep. The oil in the product might separate after sitting on the shelves, so mix it well before use.
Trader Joe's Spa 100% Pure Jojoba Oil
I use this product as a makeup remover, a moisturizer, and to add sheen to my legs when I want to show them off. It absorbs really well, doesn’t break you out, and give you that natural glow that you’ve always coveted.
Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Body Wash
If you’re trying to clear your bacne, buy this bottle and cradle it home. The tea tree oil is uber effective, plus the tingling sensation wakes you up in the morning.
Heritage Products Rosewater Spray
Not only is this baby instantly hydrating, it also smells like you’ve walked into a European rose garden. What I love most about it is that I can not only use it after cleansing, you can use it after makeup, before makeup, as a pick-me-up mid-afternoon for dewy skin.
