Caress Body Wash and Soap

File this under drugstore find of the month (or maybe year): Caress body wash – once a relic of silly old 80s commercials – smells amazing. Why haven’t I snapped these up earlier? Their Fine Fragrance line has sophisticated and uplifting scents that have transformed my shower. I’ve been using Emerald Rush, Aqua Sparkle and Juicy Escape for the last several weeks. Emerald Rush stole my heart, but I honestly love all three. Caress offers a total of eleven scents. And at under six bucks – you’ll want to try them all. The soap lathers but doesn’t leave skin stripped. And my skin has just a hint of scent after shower so don’t worry about it playing with your favorite fragrance.

Available at drugstore.com. Do you love caress? Let me know on twitter with hashtag #CaressMe.

Trish McEvoy ‘Sexy 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk’ Body Sponge

Looking to up your shower game? This little gem is rocking my shower world these days. And I must say it is totally and completely unique. Think transforming a delicious scent into a luxurious bathroom accessory / body wash.

I’ve been lusting over Trish McEvoy’s Sexy 9 Blackberry and Vanilla Musk ever since my friend, Robin, introduced me to her candles this summer. The fragrance is sultry but still gourmand. The fruit enlivens the cozy vanilla. And the scent from the body sponge really does persist after my shower.

The formula has Vitamin E, Shea Butter and natural humectants so my angry dry winter skin is soothed. The brush isn’t irritating but does provide a slight exfoliation. And most amazingly, I’ve been using this guy since Christmas and continue to get a great solid lather each time.

Bonus for the included seashell dish which transports me right back to my summer beach vacation. Available at Nordstrom.

Drugstore Find: Nuance Salma Hayek Exfoliating Body Cleansing Scrub

As a longtime Nuance fan, I cannot believe I missed out on this Summer 2012 launch. I wish Nuance Salma Hayek Exfoliating Body Cleansing Scrub had been in my shower as soon as it hit shelves! What I first thought was a scrub, this body wash is luscious, creamy and has the perfect winter vanilla scent.

H2O Plus Spa Sea Lotus Collection

In an effort to save some pennies, I’ve been skipping on massages and pedicures in favorite of at-home treatments. I actually like the solitude and relaxation when I turn my own bathroom into a mini-spa. At the top of my list is a treatment that sloughs off dull, summer debris and infuses skin with nourishment and marine botanicals. Just use all three of the H2O Plus Revitalizing Sea Lotus products together for a luxe effect right in your home.

H2O Plus Spa Sea Lotus Skin Smoother uses sea salt as a gentle exfoliator. Sea sourced water lotus and bamboo extract work to improve the look of skin while sweet almond and macadamia nut oils nourish and moisturize. The same botanicals packed with vitamins and minerals are infused in the H2O Plus Spa Sea Lotus Body Wash. Mineral-rich brown and red algae blend with aloe and vitamin E to soothe and nourish the skin. Last but certainly not least, slather on H2O Plus Spa Sea Lotus Body Lotion, which is surprisingly light. Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 soothe and revitalize. And moisturizers including mango and cocoa butters are quickly absorbed, leaving soft and radiant skin. Skin is left with an aquatic floral scent that is revitalizing, yet subtle.

Natural Body Care For Fall From JĀSÖN

I am stunned… literally stunned that today is October 1st. Where in the world did September go? At least it means the arrival of rich cozy scents and lots of football – two of my favorite things! And there is something rejuvenating about a change of seasons. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been particularly focused on taking care of myself and striving for excellence on this blog. Along with that, I am trying to be more mindful of including natural products into my routine. These two products from one of my favorite natural brands, JĀSÖN, are the perfect ticket for my fall resolutions.

JĀSÖN® Antioxidant Cranberry Body Wash has a rich, nourishing formula packed with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. The Cranberry acts as an anti-oxidant and Aloe Vera can help soothe irritated dry skin in the cooler months. Not to mention it smells so festive.

JĀSÖN® Balancing Wild Yam Crème has the super-hydrating properties we need in the fall months. And if you have combination skin, this moisturizer can actually help balance your complexion. Ginseng and Wild Yam helps skin stay hydrated. And licorice works to even skin tone and boost radiance. Use it on your face and/or body.

Both products are free of parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, petrolatum, artificial colors and phthalates. Available at natural food stores, Whole Foods Market and jason-personalcare.com
