Your Nighttime Routine Called: It Wants These Relaxing Shower Steamers

For those of us who don’t have the luxury of a bathtub but crave bath bomb-level destressing, meet the best shower steamers. Place a tablet near your feet, just outside the direct stream, and let the steam activate the aromatherapy as it slowly dissolves and infuses your shower with soothing vapor (basically a mini steam room at home!). Whether you’re longing for an invigorating mix of mint and citrus essential oils for your morning shower or a stress-relief blend of lavender and vanilla for your pre-bedtime wind-down, you’ll find an aromatherapy shower steamer that strikes your fancy. Read on for editor recs and a bit of expert insight on what makes these dissolvable discs so good, and remember—in through your nose, out through your mouth.

Place one just outside the direct stream of water and let the steam carry the aroma for a moment of relaxation. If you end up loving the scent, the Lavender Vanilla lineup also includes an Essential Oil Mist and a Body Wash & Foam Bath so you can extend that calm well beyond your shower.

“I’m a terrible sleeper. And if I have to cross time zones due to travel? Forget about it. I always pack the B&B Works shower steamers. If I land at night, I jump in the shower with the lavender to try and trick my brain that it’s bedtime. If I have to get up and go, I pop in an eucalyptus or orange-scented option to wake me up. The entire hotel room is filled with the scent of aromatherapy that sets my circadian rhythm on the right beat.” —Jessica Cruel, editor in chief

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of aromatherapy?

Essential oil aromatherapy has been around for thousands of years worldwide. Ancient societies used essential oils in cosmetics and perfumes (sound familiar?) for therapeutic, wellness, and hygiene purposes. Because of aromatherapy’s myriad, time-tested benefits, we still use plant extracts to scent our spaces, wind down, and help remedy ailments millennia later. The practice has a ton of tried-and-true benefits, as evidenced by the diffusers that line shelves online and IRL.

“Aromatherapy can be beneficial in the management of certain symptoms such as anxiety, pain, nausea, and insomnia,” Megan E. Voss, DNP, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing, explained to Allure. Although aromatherapy is a beloved, homeopathic way to feel better, it isn’t medicine. “Aromatherapy is never used as a curative treatment for any illness,” Dr. Voss adds.

Are shower steamers safe?

Shower steamers are a safe way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy, in part because essential oils should always be diluted before use, which happens when the dissolving tablet meets the water and infuses into the steam. Word to the wise: Always avoid direct skin contact when it comes to essential oils. As New York City-based dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, explains, “applying the essential oil in its concentrated form to the skin can cause significant irritation.”

Thus, shower steamers function as a safe alternative and don’t require you to go through the process of DIY dilution (which is admittedly easy to mess up). Still, if you have particularly sensitive skin or past adverse reactions to aromatherapy, chat with your doctor before using products that contain essential oils—this goes for skin care and hair care, too.

How we test and review products

We always enlist a range of testers for any review, but home products are another story. While some picks can be used across different spaces, many are created with specific consumers and their needs in mind. When reviewing home goods, we also take into account our testers’ experience. For instance, a vanity light may be backed by notable makeup artists across the nation, but if our testers find its lights too bright, we have to consider this when determining whether it is worthy of a recommendation.

For our review of the best shower steamers, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, and contributors — who all have different scent preferences, relationships with aromatherapy, and desired uses for essential oils. Testers considered performance across scent, value, and efficacy. For more on what’s involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.

Our staff and testers

A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors — in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon — is essential to reaching that goal.

4 Things to Do After an Incredibly Draining Family Visit

Side note: Tossing up boundaries can take some experimentation and may be met with pushback from your family. If you consistently feel stressed out around your fam, it can be tremendously helpful to talk to a therapist who can help you come up with a game plan and navigate these tricky situations, says Dr. Peifer.

Treat yourself.

Self-care is a buzzy term, and it can be confusing to know what it even entails, but if there’s a time to spoil yourself? It’s after a mind-bending trip with your relatives, says Dr. Cummings. So, squeeze in some activities that will genuinely bring you joy, whether that’s a hot yoga class, a long bath, a new book, a puzzle, or an arts and crafts project.

A quick tip from Dr. Cummings: Many of us fall into the trap of framing self-care as a luxury when, in truth, it’s a necessity. As a result, you may feel guilty or selfish when you do something for yourself. Make a point to prioritize yourself when you’re back home—doing so can restore your sense of autonomy and self-respect, says Dr. Cummings, all while lifting your mood and distracting you from the chaos that just went down.

Start reestablishing your routines.

Holiday weekends tend to throw off the routines you’re accustomed to, Dr. Peifer says. When you’re hosting your in-laws or spending time with your grandparents, for example, you likely aren’t sticking to your typical sleep-wake schedule or doing the daily activities (like making your go-to weekday breakfast or going for your morning run) that usually keep you in balance. When this rhythm is thrown off, your mood and energy levels can tank, she explains.

Once you’ve (hopefully) been able to rest a little, Dr. Peifer recommends trying, bit by bit, to get back into your routines. Start with the basics: Eat your regular diet, stick to your normal bedtime, throw on that podcast you listen to every week. This will add structure to your day, she says, which can help you feel calmer and more in control again. Next, you can add in secondary behaviors, like your typical social activities, exercise schedule, or work or study habits, she adds.

Rosemary Oil for Hair Growth | DIY Hair Recipe

Rosemary tea for hair seems to be the internet’s latest DIY hair care obsession. If you’re a beauty-obsessed Tik Tok watcher (no shame!) you’ve likely scrolled past a few viral beauty hacks and treatments on your For You Page. From heatless curls to throwback hairstyles reminiscent of our favourite 90’s It girls, there’s endless inspiration to scroll through to help shake up your hair game.

Rosemary tea promotes hair growth, cleanses the hair and scalp, darkens dull strands, and increases shine. One of the easiest ways to capture the benefits of rosemary oil is by using it as a hair rinse. The unexpected hair saviour has seen a 150% growth in Google searches over the last year and racked up millions of views on Tik Tok after Tik Tok user Maria Castaneda (aka mcriaaa) shared how the beauty treatment transformed her hairline.

Tons of Tik Tok users jumped on using rosemary tea for hair growth bandwagon after seeing her impressive transformation (us included), and even doctors weighed in on the benefits of using the antioxidant-rich rinse as hair treatment.

Another great thing about this DIY hair treatment is that it is affordable and accessible. If you don’t already have rosemary in your spice cabinet, you can pick up fresh or dried rosemary at your local grocery for under $5. If you have a green thumb you can also add rosemary to your herb garden, so you always have some fresh leaves on hand.

Rosemary Oil Hair Benefits

Using rosemary oil for hair has tons of amazing benefits. Adding it to your hair care routine once a week can help to encourage hair growth, manage scalp issues, and improve the overall quality of your hair. Rosemary tea contains ursolic acid which helps to increase circulation to the scalp. If you are struggling with hair loss, this increased blood circulation will stimulate your hair follicles which will lead to increased hair growth.The increased circulation will also help deliver vital nutrients to hair follicles, to help build stronger strands.

Rosemary has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that make it great for cleansing the scalp and treating issues like dandruff, itchiness, and inflammation.

All hair types can benefit from this DIY hair rinse. If your hair is dull or greying, using rosemary tea for hair can also darken and add shine to your strands. Since rosemary tea is packed with antioxidants it targets free radicals which are responsible for hair greying and thinning. Lots of dry shampoo, hairspray, and other styling products in your hair routine that can cause hair buildup, rosemary tea can help revitalize hair and remove buildup to leave you with shiny, soft locks.

Like most treatments, don’t expect to see results overnight, with consistent use you should start to notice subtle changes in your hair in two to three months. If you want to speed up your results, try changing some of your hair habits! Try out a heatless (that means no hot hair tools) hot girl summer to give your hair a break, limit chemical treatments, and get consistent with hair masks. These small changes can make a huge difference in your overall hair health.

How To Make Rosemary Tea Hair Rinse

The hair rinse is super simple to make, it’s as easy as making a cup of tea. All you need is rosemary and water. You can add other herbs to tailor the rinse to your hair’s specific needs. If you’re not a fan of the smell of rosemary, you can also add essential oils to mask the scent.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Water
  • Fresh or Dried rosemary, or rosemary essential oil
  • Sage leaves, marshmallow root, peppermint, lavender (Optional)

Instructions:

Step 1:

Simply boil four to five cups of water and add three to four sprigs of fresh rosemary to the water. If you don’t have fresh rosemary on hand 10-15 drops of rosemary essential oil or a few tablespoons of organic dried rosemary.

Step 2:

Allow it to steep for 10-15 minutes and then sift away the leaves. It should be a dark brown colour when fully steeped. You may notice an oil film on the surface, that is the rosemary oil rising to the top.

The great thing about DIY hair treatments is that you can tailor them to what your hair needs. If you want to target dull or grey hair, add sage to your rinse to help darken your hair. Need to combat oily hair? Add Peppermint or lavender to help balance an oily scalp. If your strands are parched and damaged, add marshmallow root to condition and hydrate thirsty hair. It’s always a good idea to take a break from heat styling, instead add Luxy hair extensions , which are a great way to change up your look without the damage.

After wetting your hair in the shower, apply the rosemary hair rinse on your scalp and hair line, and massage it in. The massage will also help to stimulate the scalp! For the best results leave the rinse on your hair as a leave-in treatment. You can keep reapplying it daily until your next wash for extra hair-boosting benefits. If you plan on rinsing it out, let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes and rinse with cool water. You can also use this rinse to refresh your hair after a sweaty workout or beach day, in lieu of your dry shampoo!

Rosemary Tea Hair Rinse

You can store the rinse in your refrigerator for up to five days, after that you’ll want to make a fresh batch to avoid growing bacteria. To extend the life of your hair rinse, you can freeze it into ice cubes and melt them when you’re ready to use them.

There you have an easy and effective hair treatment, just in time to get your hair ready in time for your next big outing!

5 Body Scrubs for Luminous Skin – 100% PURE

The seasons are changing: the sun’s working shorter shifts, and the temperature is steadily dropping. You might notice your skin going through some changes, too: dryness and itching creeping in, and skin losing its brightness and luster. But have no fear – that’s normal and treatable.

If you don’t already have a body scrub in your body care arsenal, this is the perfect time of the year to start scrub-a-dub-dubbing in the tub. Check down below for the benefits of using a scrub on your skin, and details on the best body scrubs to get your skin back to its happy place.

The Beauty Benefits of Using a Body Scrub

With the boot-and-scarf season upon us, and, well, everything pumpkin spice, the not-so-nice downfall to fall is dry, dull, and itchy skin. Skin that’s rough around the edges – and cracks and crevices – can all be improved by a full body exfoliation routine. Using a body scrub is one of the best tools for getting you there!

Body exfoliating rejuvenates your skin by buffing away bumps, flakes, and annoying dry skin – that means more radiant skin, and smoother texture overall. Check out some of the top benefits of using a body scrub:

#1. Boosts Circulation
Not only does exfoliating put a little more pep into our body’s circulation step, but a body scrub also improves the flow of nutrients in our skin’s tissue, which results in brighter, healthier-looking skin.

#2. Removes Dead Skin
Nobody wants clingers, including ones that aren’t alive and are stuck on our skin. A body scrub is excellent for removing the rather unhealthy relationship of flakey skin cells and sending them packing.

#3. Full of Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
If you’re using a quality, natural body scrub, those tiny exfoliants are going to pack a mighty dose of does-the-body-good benefits. Our collection features ingredients that can nourish skin, reduce inflammation, and help return skin to optimal health.

#4. Helps Reduce Cellulite
Who invited this annoying skin culprit to the party? A body scrub can help keep those pesky little dimples from showing up here, there, and everywhere we don’t want them. While it won’t completely eliminate cellulite, you can use a body scrub to help lessen their unevening effects and send most of them packing, too.

#5. Allows Better Absorption
Have you ever nearly lost your mind wondering how you can lather your body in creams or oils when your skin is still dry or patchy? Using a body scrub allows our skin to better absorb moisture from body creams and body oils along with providing you the full skin benefits of your products.

100 Pure 5 Body Scrubs for Luminous Skin.gif

How to Use a Body Scrub

Exfoliation is something that every skin type needs. Those with sensitive or dry skin may prefer a gentler option, while those with body acne may be better suited to clarifying scrubs. No matter your skin type, body scrubs are a key player for more radiant skin, and smoother texture overall – but first, you’ll need to learn how to use them properly.

Check out these quick and easy steps for applying a body scrub:

Step 1
Before scrub-a-dub-dubbing, you’ll want to remove surface impurities and excess oils from your skin. Use a hydrating shower gel or moisturizing bar soap, lathered up with a gentle bath sponge.

Step 2
Make sure your skin is thoroughly wet and softened with warm water – overly hot water can dry out and sensitize your skin.

Massage body scrub in towards your heart for the best circulation. Start at your feet and work your way up using circular motions. Pay extra attention to dry, rough areas like the legs, elbows, knees, and arms. Avoid areas of broken or freshly shaved skin, and avoid scrubbing too hard or for too long. Even dry, rough skin is delicate, and will only need about 10 seconds for a thorough exfoliation.

PRO TIP: If you have extra sensitive skin, you can try a dry scrub on clean, dry skin. Coined more as body polishes, these gentle formulas contain nourishing ingredients like oils and clays that help to exfoliate the skin.

Step 3
Rinse thoroughly with clean, cool water and pat dry with a towel. Re-moisturize your skin, especially any extra dry areas, like knees or elbows.

Frequently Asked Questions About Body Scrubs

Can body scrubs be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin?

Body scrubs can generally be used on a variety of skin types, but those with sensitive skin should be cautious. Ingredients matter a lot. Opt for a scrub made with finer, less abrasive particles and gentle ingredients if you have sensitive skin. Always perform a patch test first to ensure there are no adverse reactions. Consulting a dermatologist before introducing a new skincare product is also advisable.

How do body scrubs differ from face scrubs?

  • Coarseness of Granules: Body scrubs often have larger, coarser granules, which are too harsh for the facial skin. Facial scrubs usually have finer, smoother granules that are gentle enough for the sensitive skin on your face.
  • Formulation: Body scrubs may contain stronger ingredients or oils that are fine for body skin but may be too harsh or comedogenic (pore-clogging) for the face. Face scrubs often have added benefits like anti-aging properties, which are specifically formulated for facial skin.
  • Skin Sensitivity: The skin on your face is generally more sensitive and prone to breakouts, which means it requires a gentler, more specialized approach than your body’s skin.
  • Frequency of Use: Body scrubs can generally be used more often than face scrubs due to the thicker, less sensitive skin on your body.

How do body scrubs help in preventing ingrown hairs and achieving a smoother shave?

Body scrubs exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells, which can help to free any hairs trapped beneath the skin surface. This is particularly useful for preventing ingrown hairs.

By removing dead skin, scrubs create a smoother skin surface. This makes it easier for your razor to glide over the skin, which can result in a closer and smoother shave.

The scrub can also help unclog pores and remove dirt, allowing for a cleaner shaving surface and less risk of post-shave irritation.

Are there any potential side effects or skin reactions after using body scrubs?

  • Skin Irritation: Overuse of a scrub or using one with overly harsh ingredients can lead to skin irritation, redness, and sensitivity.
  • Dryness: Some scrubs can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness. Make sure to moisturize well after using a scrub.
  • Allergic Reactions: Always read the ingredients list carefully, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies.
  • Aggravation of Skin Conditions: If you have a pre-existing skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, a body scrub could potentially aggravate it.

To minimize risks, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, perform a patch test before full use, and consult a dermatologist if you have any concerns.

There’s no shortage of snide jokes, stereotypes, and less-than-flattering representations of age-gap relationships. Think Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend; Leonardo DiCaprio’s infamous dating record that’s devolved into meme fodder; and insulting or objectifying terms like “cougar,” “boytoy,” and “cradle robber.” But what’s often overlooked—or at least, not given as much attention—are the partnerships that actually thrive and defy those tired, one-dimensional narratives.

In reality, age-gap relationships can work, Mindy DeSeta, PhD, LMHC, a Miami-based sex therapist whose husband is 18 years older than she is, tells SELF. (In fact, research has shown that women dating younger partners reported higher levels of romantic satisfaction compared to those with similar-aged ones.) Culturally, we’re starting to see that growing acceptance reflected in movies like Marty Supreme, Babygirl, The Idea of You, Family Affairand Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boyall of which portray these “taboo” dynamics in a more positive light.

Of course, the skepticism doesn’t come from nowhere. Even between two consenting adults, age-gap relationships can raise nuanced questions about power imbalances, potential grooming, sexism, and other complex issues. Not to mention, even the healthiest of these pairs may encounter unique challenges that same-age duos typically don’t—such as elder care, contrasting maturity levels, and the logistics of having kids. That said, certain factors can help these dynamics thrive in a healthy way. We asked experts (some with their own success stories) to break down what actually makes it work.

1. Find shared interests that transcend generations.

Reaching common ground can feel tricky when you’re in completely different life stages, at different points in your careers, or, simply existing in different generations. But these hurdles don’t have to be automatic dealbreakers, Susan Winter, author of Older Women, Younger Men: New Options for Love and Romancetells SELF—especially when you’ve got shared interests (traveling abroad, love for hard rock music) that bring you closer. According to Winter, focusing on your similarities, rather than differences, can help your relationship grow.

2. Approach your differences with curiosity.

On that note…relationship success isn’t about having zero disparities. According to Dr. DeSeta, it’s the willingness to take genuine interest in these differences—and to compromise along the way. “Personally, I would suggest making friends in both age groups,” she advises. You could also try out each other’s hobbies every now and then, whether that’s indulging in their trashy reality shows on Sunday nights or joining them for a quiet afternoon of birdwatching (even if that’s not your usual thing).

While you don’t have to swap your usual support system for a crowd 20 years younger (or older), or suddenly embrace every trend from their generation, Dr. DeSeta says these small efforts go a long way in showing a healthy, genuine desire to connect and deepen your bond.

3. Get on the same page about your nonnegotiables as early as possible.

Some differences are bigger to overcome than others—and like in any romantic relationship, what truly matters is agreeing on the important stuff, Justin Lehmiller, PhD, senior research fellow at The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University and host of the Sex and Psychology Podcasttells SELF.

How to Create a Simply Perfect Look By Matching Your Lipstick to Your – Besame Cosmetics

Perhaps you’ve always wanted to achieve a stunning, stylish look or mimic the makeup design of a glamorous Hollywood movie star, such as Marilyn Monroe,  but you’ve always talked yourself out of it. You’re not a beauty or makeup expert… and it takes too much time and effort to achieve that kind of look, right?

Wrong! It’s a common misconception that you have to be a really experienced beauty guru and do a full face of makeup or some other bold look everyday to feel elegant and glamorous. On the contrary, we think there’s no better way to elevate your everyday makeup look by simply adding a little bit of color that channels some of the elegance you’re looking for!

Sometimes simple is better! And one of the best ways to draw attention to your simple, but effective makeup style is to be color coordinated.

Matching colors tend to attract the eye. We take notice when colors go together and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. When you color coordinate something like your lipstick and nail polish, it makes you look polished, put together, and intentional about your look.

And the best part? This will give the impression that you’ve put a ton of time and effort into your look, when in reality it only took you a few minutes! You’ll have achieved a Hollywood inspired look with simple makeup and nail polish.

Now, if you’re anything like us, if you’re going to match, you want to REALLY match, right? Not just red and red or pink and pink, but the exact same shade.

Colors for Every Season

If you want to rock matching nail polish and lipstick for an effortlessly flawless look all year long, grab some colors for every season!

Some of us revert to darker colors as the temperature drops, leaning into the more somber tones of the winter months. We’d like to argue that a splash of color not only embodies the festivity to the season, but is a great way to brighten your spirits all season long!

These products are salon quality — without the expense and effort of going to the salon!

Additionally, you can rest assured that each product is cruelty-free, for a glamorous look that’s also guilt free!

Portrait Pink

As we move into the spring, it’s nice to shift into more natural and pastel tones for a bright, fresh, and rejuvenated look. The sun is coming back, trees are turning green again, and it’s the perfect time to bring warm and sunny colors back into your life!

Even so, bright pink doesn’t need to feel gaudy or over the top. Simply adding this bright splash of color to your lips and your nails can brighten up your makeup routine while continuing to give you an elegant, polished, and understated look.

Vintage Inspired Makeup

Matching your lipstick to your nail polish is a longtime tradition rooted in vintage beauty and Hollywood inspired glamour. With just these few simple colors and a few minutes of your day, you can achieve a look that’s not only eye-catching, but wonderfully easy. And there’s nothing we love more than a look that appears expensive and time consuming when it’s really quite the opposite.

So, the next time you want to level up your makeup routine, try matching your lipstick to your nail polish for a simple and chic look that never goes out of style!

Get to Know Our Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliants

The benefits of professional skincare treatments are undeniable. Whether you’re experiencing serious skin concerns left untreated by over the counter products or simply want to ensure you’re hitting all of your skincare goals, adding in regular facials or other skincare treatments can contribute to amazing transformations.

However, that’s not to say there aren’t barriers when it comes to receiving these treatments. Cost and accessibility are the two main reasons affecting going in for professional services. We want to change that, which is why we’ve created Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant and Beta-Clarity Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant, both at-home peels, perfect for anyone who wants to take their skincare results to the next level from the comfort of their own bathroom.

Why Do I Need a Liquid Exfoliant?

Liquid exfoliants (also known as chemical exfoliants) have been around for a while but you may not be totally familiar with them. Previously associated with professional treatments, liquid exfoliants were not a product you’d expect to see in a daily routine. They differ from physical exfoliants because they’re able to penetrate deeper into skin’s surface. Physical exfoliants are only able to address the surface of the skin, which doesn’t provide long term benefits.

Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant has been available to our professional community for years as a treatment solution used during facials. It serves as your weekly treatment to clearer, smoother and brighter skin. It resurfaces uneven texture, brightens dark spots, clears pores and smooths fine lines. And, did we mention it’s great for all skin types? Unlike make chemical exfoliants on the market, Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant is perfect for all skin types and even works for those with sensitive or sensitized skin. Beta-Clarity Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant takes things a step further with a clarifying, balancing, and blemish-fighting approach, perfect for oily or acne-prone skin.

What Does Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant Do?

Chemical exfoliants loosen and remove dead cells from the uppermost layers of the skin. When there is an excess of dead cells you’ll notice dullness, uneven texture and clogged pores. By regularly clearing the skin with our unique alpha and poly hydroxy acid formula, you’ll notice an immediate brightening and long term smoothing benefits.

Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant contains 5 powerhouse alpha and poly hydroxy acids at a whopping 10% concentration. On their own, each acid contributes to a different benefit; when combined, they form an incredible formula that addresses virtually every skin concern. Don’t be alarmed by the 10% concentration though. This is a powerful formula but because of the gentle nature of the alpha and poly hydroxy acids, you won’t experience any irritation or downtime, so it’s even suitable for sensitive skin too—always do a 24 hour patch test before applying across your complexion.

  • Mandelic Acid: Lightens dark spots and prevents breakouts
  • Lactic Acid: Hydrates the skin while smoothing the appearance of fine lines
  • Gluconic Acid: Provides gentle exfoliation for even the most sensitive complexions
  • Malic Acid: Refines skin’s texture and helps decongest and unclog pores
  • Tartaric Acid: Promotes the coveted ‘glass skin’ look by clarifying and brightening

What Does Beta-Clarity Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant Do?

Beta-Clarity Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant contains 5 powerhouse alpha and beta hydroxy acids at a 10% concentration. Like the Hydra-Bright Pro 5, each acid is carefully targeted to perform a different function with a focus on clarifying and balancing. This is less geared to those with sensitive skin as it’s a little more powerful than the Hydra-Bright, but is perfect if you’re looking for oil control, tackling excess shine, breakouts, and post-blemish marks.

  • 10% Clarifying 5 Acid Complex: A unique blend of hydroxy acids including mandelic, azelaic, salicylic, gluconolactone, and kojic acid, for brightening, clarifying, exfoliating properties.
  • Vitamin C: Delivers a brightening boost and targets post-blemish marks.
  • Niacinamide: Clears and balances pores, reducing their appearance and preventing further congestion.

Boosting the efficacy of your serums and moisturizer, use it two to three times weekly for your smoothest, clearest, most radiant complexion ever.

How Do I Know Which Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant To Use?

The good news is you can actually use them both at different times to create your perfect ritual. If your skin is congested or you’re starting to breakout, use the Beta-Clarity Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant up to three times weekly, followed by Beta-Clarity BHA Drops. For moments when your skin feels clearer, use the Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant for regular maintenance.

If you have sensitive or dry skin that isn’t prone to breakouts, Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant will be your go-to.

Here’s a handy chart to help you see the differences at a glance.

How Do I Use a Liquid Exfoliant?

Adding a Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant into your routine is easy. Simply cleanse as normal and apply to clean skin, avoiding the sensitive eye area. Allow to dry and absorb then follow with your favorite serum and/or moisturizer. We generally encourage active formulas to be used as part of your nighttime routine. However, there’s nothing stopping you from using it in the morning. Regardless, make sure you use an SPF each morning. It can be used 2-3 times per week but can still be effective at just one use per week, so don’t overdo it.

Can I see it in action?

Absolutely.

Giveaway Day #10 – 12 Month Subscription of Purity Coffee – One 12 oz Bag of Whole Bean Coffee Per Month (Value $348)

**Please note all giveaways are open to U.S. only

I have been drinking Purity Coffee for years now and I’m not about to stop anytime soon!

Before Purity, I never knew coffee was such a complex topic.  When I found out about organic coffee I started to buy only organic.  Then I soon realized that there was so much more to the equation than just buying organic coffee.  And Purity Coffee is true to the name- so pure.  They take it to the next level when it comes to sourcing.

Purity Coffee takes a 3 step approach to ensuring they make the best cup of coffee. Check out the whole process here.

  • They select only the finest grade organic green coffee beans, then laboratory test them to ensure they meet their standards.
  • Then when it comes to roasting they customize each roast for each set of green coffee beans so it minimizes toxins and maximizes health benefits.
  • The last step is making sure it stays as fresh as the day it was packaged with Purity’s packaging standards.

Below is more detail on what Purity Coffee offers, because even if you don’t win the giveaway, you are going to want to try this coffee!

Purity Coffee offers coffee in several different ways. Here are just some of what this includes:

Purity is the cleanest, best tasting cup of coffee!

Here are my thoughts on some of Purity’s coffee products:

I get the decaf blend on a regular basis. It’s literally the best decaf coffee I’ve ever had!  The flavor is rich and not muddled down like many decaf coffees I’ve tried.  I’m obsessed!  It tastes great as hot coffee and iced.  I use the beans in my espresso machine, but I’ve also done it with my Chemex and loved the flavor of the coffee from it as well.

They also came out with a new roast called Balanced that’s ⅓ caffeinated organic coffee.  I was so excited for this launch since I’m not someone who can process caffeine great.  After trying Balanced I was so impressed with it!  I didn’t feel jittery at all.  It had such a smooth taste too.

My husband has done the medium roast and dark roast and is a fan of both.  He will do the Chemex typically, and sometimes uses the espresso machine to make espresso shots.

He also has tried the Pocket Purity, which are coffee sachets that make having a high quality coffee on the go and when traveling so convenient.  They are essentially like a tea bag but filled with coffee instead.  You put it in a cup, add hot water and then let it seep for 3-4 minutes.  My husband loves these and so does my mom!

I was thrilled when they came out with a Decaf Pocket Purity because I wasn’t able to try them initially! Since decaf has to go through a process to get rid of the caffeine the biggest concern then comes with how they process it. Typically they use chemicals and solvents that you don’t want to be ingesting to filter out the caffeine.  But with Purity they use a solvent free method called Swiss Water Processing. It uses a system that separates, filters, soaks, and then dries the beans. Plus, it doesn’t compromise on flavor either with this method.  I love knowing that wherever I go, I can still have a clean cup of coffee with Purity Coffee’s sachets!

Not only is Purity Coffee the cleanest  coffee brand, it also is the best tasting. Myself, my husband and my V.A. tested out many organic coffee brands to determine which was the best tasting and Purity Coffee was picked by all three of us!

BEST SUPPLEMENTS TO TAKE FOR MEN’S HEALTH IN AUTUMN SEASON ~ THE MALE GROOMING REVIEW

BEST SUPPLEMENTS TO TAKE FOR MEN’S HEALTH IN AUTUMN SEASON ~ THE MALE GROOMING REVIEW


As the autumn season approaches, it’s important to adjust your health routine to support your body through the transition. This season can bring changes in temperature, shorter daylight hours, and a higher risk of colds and flu.

Here are some of the best health supplements to consider for the autumn season:

1. Vitamin D

  • Why: With shorter days and less sunlight exposure, Vitamin D levels can drop. Vitamin D supports immune health, bone strength, and mood regulation.
  • Dosage: Generally, 1000-2000 IU daily, but this can vary based on individual needs.

2. Vitamin C

  • Why: Known for its immune-boosting properties, Vitamin C can help protect against colds and other infections common in autumn.
  • Dosage: 500-1000 mg daily, with food to avoid stomach upset.

3. Zinc

  • Why: Zinc is essential for immune function and may help shorten the duration of colds.
  • Dosage: 15-30 mg daily, especially when you feel a cold coming on.

4. Elderberry

  • Why: Elderberry is rich in antioxidants and has been traditionally used to combat colds and flu. It can support immune health during autumn.
  • Dosage: Follow the specific product recommendations, usually around 500 mg of elderberry extract per day.

5. Probiotics

  • Why: Gut health is closely linked to immune function. Probiotics help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which can boost your immune system.
  • Dosage: A daily probiotic with at least 1 billion CFUs (colony-forming units).

6. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

  • Why: Omega-3s support heart health, reduce inflammation, and help with mood regulation, which can be beneficial as the days get shorter.
  • Dosage: 1000 mg of EPA and DHA combined daily.

7. Turmeric (Curcumin)

  • Why: Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and can help manage joint pain and inflammation, which may be exacerbated by cooler weather.
  • Dosage: 500-1000 mg of curcumin with black pepper (for better absorption) daily.

8. Echinacea

  • Why: Echinacea is another herbal supplement known for its immune-boosting effects, helping to prevent and shorten the duration of colds.
  • Dosage: 400-800 mg taken at the first sign of a cold.

9. Magnesium

  • Why: Magnesium supports muscle and nerve function, aids in sleep, and helps regulate mood—important as the season changes and routines shift.
  • Dosage: 300-400 mg daily, preferably in the evening.

10. Astragalus

  • Why: Astragalus is an adaptogen that helps strengthen the immune system and increase resistance to stress.
  • Dosage: 500 mg of astragalus root extract daily.

Tips for Using Supplements:

  • Consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking other medications.
  • Pair supplements with a healthy diet rich in seasonal fruits and vegetables, which provide additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
  • Stay hydrated and consider warm herbal teas like ginger or chamomile to stay warm and support digestion during the cooler months.

These supplements, when combined with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, can help you stay resilient and healthy throughout the autumn season.
