Loving Lately: Follain Favorites

I love Follain because, like Beautycounter, they believe that NO ONE should compromise their health for beauty. Follain is taking a stand against toxins in personal care and refuses to settle for anything but the safest, most effective products. They also have a super strict, uncompromising and relentless approval process when it comes to the products on their shelves and site, so, when I shop there, I know that every single thing I am testing, purchasing and using is the safest around. I also love the company’s focus on sharing and education, which is what led yours truly to become a Follain Ambassador!

What does that mean exactly? It means that I stand by Follain’s mission of introducing people to the safest, most effective, and luxurious non-toxic products. It also means that I have a discount code, so that my family and friends can shop with perks – always!

Follain Sugar and Shea Body Scrub || I love a good body scrub – especially in the winter on my dry, chapped skin. You know what I don’t love? Scooping body scrub out of jars. Without fail, the jar ends up filled with water and the product ends up under my nails. Gross. THIS scrub is different! It comes in a tube (LIFE CHANGING) and the formula not only polishes my skin, but deeply moisturizes it with nourishing oils and shea butter. It also detoxifies with kaolin clay and crushed azurite, which gives it a beautiful blue color. What doesn’t it do is the real question!

Follain Refillable Everything Soap || First of all, this soap really does everything – cleans hands, washes dishes, safely bathes kids, de-toxifies the dog…you get my drift. It’s lathery but not too foamy – think of it as an elevated castile soap. PLUS the glass jar is reusable and can be refilled from the soap taps at any Follain retail store. Low waste lovers, rejoice! The scents are heavenly (Lavender or Lemongrass online, with more options in the store) and completely natural – no “fragrance” here! This is a good one to put out when you have guests – or just enjoy for yourself 😉

Indie Lee Purifying Cleanser || I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS CLEANSER! O – B – S – E – S – S – E – D. I’ve been using it ever since I met Indie IRL a month ago and she recommended it for my skin type. My combo skin is LOVING it. My skin can get pretty dry in the cooler months and this packs a more hydrating punch than my summer cleanser and gives me a thorough but non-stripping clean. I highly recommend it for anyone with combo or acne prone skin! Also, it comes in travel size.

Jane Iredale PureLash® Extender & Conditioner || What the heck is a lash conditioner and should you be using one? That’s exactly what I said a few months ago when my friend Ashlee introduced me to this product. Here are the answers: 1) This formula is a primer – it moisturizes and conditions to extend the wear of natural mascara and stop potential flaking and smudging and 2) YES – it’s a game-changer. I love my mascara, but notice a significant difference in the health and volume of my lashes AND the wearability of my mascara when I use this first.

Indie Lee COQ-10 Toner || This is the most versatile toner on the planet. The non-drying formula contains hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to balance skin and prevent afternoon shine. It hydrates and refreshes, which makes it great for all ages and stages of skin. I also love the travel sized version – I keep it in my purse to refreshen my face while I’m on the run!

Cocokind All Over Moisture Stick: My Matcha || This nourishing organic moisture stick uses just THREE ingredients (organic virgin coconut oil, organic beeswax, and organic matcha tea powder) to do ALL of the things: nourish dry spots, diminish the appearance of under-eye circles, and moisturize lips. I only use it on my lips, but I use it every night and wake up every morning with buttery soft skin. The stick formula is super convenient – I keep one in my purse, one by my bed and one at my desk!

RMS Un-Cover Up || I bought this concealer on a whim when I ran out of my Beautycounter concealer and was traveling the next day! Around the same time I also ran out of my Tarte full coverage concealer and although this RMS option doesn’t quite cover my red, angry zits, it definitely covers everything else! It can be easily layered and has a smooth, even finish. I apply mine with a brush but clean fingers work, too. I wear shade 11 and use it predominately as a blemish cover up but I use it interchangeably with BC for my under eye area too.
