Products CSL editors love, and you should try too!
1. The B(a)lm!
With a faint, sweet smell and soft texture, this balm feels luxurious. A small daub melts easily at body temperature. Then, just slather it on from head-to-toe. It is made with a slew of natural moisturizing oils including sunflower oil, coconut oil and avocado oil, and ingredients that soothe and heal skin like calendula and plantain leaf. Hey, the doctor knows best! Zoe Organics Dr. Shannon’s Organic Skin Balm, 57 g, $25.
2. Earl-y Grey
Although you can use this body wash at anytime, there’s nothing quite like a revitalizing shower in the morning. Citrus scents are known to boost your mood – so you can add pizzazz to your routine and start your day right with the fresh zing of orange and bergamot (which gives earl grey tea its unmistakable aroma and taste). All we have to say is hooray for a new day! Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot Body Wash, 300 ml, $30 (USD).
3. Egg on Your Face (in a good way)
For centuries women have used egg white to purify and cleanse skin. This highly scented soap, made in Belgium draws on this age-old tradition. With the healing properties of chamomile and packaged in a cute blue box decorated with drawings, it gives new meaning to egg on your face! Kalastyle Eggwhite and Chamomile Flower Single Bar, $5 (USD).
4. Days of the Week
Most makeup remover cloths are tossed after one use. These soft organic bamboo muslins are different. Exfoliate and cleanse your face day and night, then pop them in the washer. The pretty antibacterial cloths come in a little black box tied with pink ribbon – one for every day of the week. Aurelia Skincare Monday to Sunday Bamboo Muslins, $32 (USD);
5. Bare It All
Easy styles are the signature of spring – a dash of mascara, a swipe of lipstick and a smear of concealer is all you need. Make it easy to achieve your look by starting with a concealer that won’t dry out skin. bareMinerals Bareskin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer, $26.
6. Moon Landing
Roman goddesses have lent their names to everything from planets to trust companies. With this lustrous sapphire-tinted oil, Luna is resurrected as a night-time oil.
