derma e – Evenly Radiant Overnight Peel

Eating right, drinking lots of water, working out, and using a good SPF can go a long way in making you feel and look younger than you actually are. But sometimes you need a little help, and that’s where AHAs come in. The Evenly Radiant Overnight Peel With Alpha Hydroxy Acids from derma e gets a great review from beauty product reviewer Paula Begoun. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and I’ve been very pleased with the way my skin looks and feels in the morning. Derma e is a family-owned 100% vegan skincare line that doesn’t contain harmful parabens, phthalates,sodium lauryl sulfate, petrolatum, mineral oil, artificial colors or GMOs.

Too Faced – Sun Bunny Natural Bronzer

This is another product that I’ve been using for years. There are certainly cheaper alternatives on the market, but I keep going back to the Sun Bunny Natural Bronzer from Too Faced because of how natural looks. It gives me a sun-kissed glow any time of the year, the packaging looks great, there’s a mirror inside the compact’s lid, and one of these babies lasts me about a year and a half. Love!

Coconut Oil

I’ve replaced margarine with coconut oil in most of my baking, and I’ve also been using it in my beauty regime for some time now. My favorite uses for it are as a deep conditioner for my hair (put it on, wrap a warm towel around your head for 20 minutes, wash it out), and as a gentle eye makeup remover (it does wonders on waterproof makeup). Try to buy cold-pressed extra virgin organic coconut oil if you can.

Natio – Cleverstick

I’ve been using Natio Cleverstick SPF 15 in “Natural” as my concealer for years now, but it’s actually an all-in-one foundation, concealer and powder. Natio is an Australian company that makes affordable makeup and beauty products. They don’t test on animals, and while a few of their products aren’t vegan (because they beeswax, carmine, honey or lanolin), all ingredients are clearly listed on each product page of their website, so it’s very easy to tell what’s vegan or not.
