ALL GLOW’D UP Sugar Scrub, Estrid Scrub up your life, with the gentle sugar scrub by Swedish brand Estrid. A vegan body scrub for a smooth and uplifting feeling. The formula melts right on to your body and results in a soft hydrated feeling. Gentle yet effective thanks to the fine sugar particles. The scent it’s lovely as well – flowery with a blend of rose.  It leaves a soft layer on the body and don’t dry as other scrubs may do. The bottle is also not too bad, which has a secret layer underneath the top, which makes it non-greasy to have in the bathroom. 

Bio‑Oil® Skincare Oil (Natural) A good body oil is a great way to protect your skin after a scrub. The Bio-Oil is a secret gem that makes your skin hydrated and protects from future stretchmarks and scars. Kim Kardashian herself, swear by it, and it's actualy really good. The new product differs from the classic, with that it's only natural ingrediatns. Since the product is only using natural oils. It makes this one the first time a natural product has been proven to match the performance of a category-leading product.

Olaplex No 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Olaplex No 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner It's not only the body that needs a detox scrub and protection, Olaplex has become a classic for damaged hair. After coloring, bleaching and heavy treatments. While it’s mainly used at saloons, the hair care brand has found it’s way into people's bathrooms. The schampoo truly ‘’scrubs’’ your hair clean, making the hair ready to absorb the treatments and the conditioner. The products has been proven to dramatically repair, protect and strengthen all hair types – from the finest to the thickest. The No.4 Shampoo repairs and protects from our everyday stress factors of split ends, and damaged hair by re-linking broken bonds. Thanks to the only patented formula that helps damage. The conditioner is also worth mentioning as it turns dry and brittle hair soft and shiny. If your hair is a bit drier, make sure to use a treatment for that extra moisturize, as Olaplex focuses on the re-built of each hair.

Lush, Srubbie Body Butter A favorite each winter is to go an buy the body scrub/body butter from LUSH called Scrubbie. It's a luxurious treat for your body. When the skin gets dried and irritated, this is the savior. While I haven't gotten it this year, I am ready to buy it again. The best part with this scrub is that you can hold it, like a bar of hard soap, and don't get your hands irritated. Simply glide over damp skin and rinse off. The exfoliating and hydrating honey buffer can be used in the bath or shower, with ground coconut shells and almonds to scrub. The best part is the delicate cocoa butter, shea butter and coconut oil to nourish and moisturize and keeps your skin hydrated long after.

Summer Fridays Summer Skin Nourishing Body Lotion Silky and coconutty, Summer Fridays Summer Skin Nourishing Body Lotion disappears into skin, delivering a matte finish that feels lovely. It treats your skin and your senses with the coconut smell and is a lovely end of the day treat. Packed with plant-derived butters and oils, its non-greasy formula instantly melts into skin to provide all-day moisture.
