It has been a while since my last clean beauty product post was published, and I have a bunch of updates to share!
Serum: I’m loving Nuria’s Moisture Replenishing Sérum. The brand has several serums, and this one was recommended to me based on my age. With a price tag of $43, it is a great choice and it has a cooling feel! I bought all of my Nuria products at For NowDay Moisturizer: Follain just released a new moisturizer, and not only is it hydrating and great smelling, but it is only $32! It has a pump, and you only need a small bit. My only caveat is that there is no SPF in it, so unless you have a foundation with spf in it, you will still need to slap some of that on!
Foundation: RMS Beauty’s cover up has a cult following, so they made a version in a foundation! When I bought this at Credo, after matching me with the right color for my skin, the salesgirl told me that I would get a ridiculous amount of uses out of this pot. You literally need a few tiny dots and then rub in with a foundation brush (Use it! Trust me! Then wash it!). This will easily last me six months.
Night Moisturizer: Nuria has a super light and hydrating night moisturizer with seaweed and algae, Defend Overnight Recovery Cream, that I love. You can also use it as a day moisturizer.
Cleansing Foam: Patyka Perfection Cleansing Foam: smells great and feels even better. And it is French! I bought it at Follain.
Exfoliator: I looked back on my last clean beauty post, and I said that I was still looking for a grainy exfoliator that I love. Well, I found one, BUT I was told during a mini facial that using a grainy exfoliator can break capillaries in your face, so EW! Because I bought this lovely one from I now use it on my feet and elbows!If you have never used exfoliating gel before, you are ia n for a surprise! You rub some on your cheeks, nose, chin and forehead in a circular motion, and your skin literally peels off. It is fascinating and gross at the same time.Hair: R+Co is a vegan, cruelty free hair products, and they gifted me a fabulous set of Television Perfect Shampoo and Conditioner. My boyfriend remarked that my hair looked clean and shiny after the first time. It has a unique smell that I really love. Post Shower Hair Treatment: R+Co also gifted me their Hugh Dive Moisture + Shine Creme, and I think that is what is making the extra difference in how my hair looks. It had juniper, rhubarb and violet among its fragrances, and I am loving it!
I discovered Pure Placid almost a year ago, and their products are all over my house. The Rose and Berry scent smells like Baies, except cleaner, and I have it in the body cream, hand wash and hand soap. My boyfriend loves the way it smells as well! Every smell is amazing and personal to the brand, and Other favorites include the Whiteface Hike Room and Linen Spray and the a Sunday Morning candles, which smells like your dream breakfast.This Claim Your Calm Box arrived just when I needed it most this summer, and it included a purple crystal, a journal and cruelty free nail polish! Don’t you just love the packaging?!Pure Placid only uses clean ingredients, and their blue ribbon represents their commitment to the environment, local workers and their customers’ well being. My type of company!

My super comfy robe from 28 Centre Point in Nantucket, is linked here.
My towel, from Anchors Aweigh can be found on their Etsy site here . I have always used a heavy towel to wrap up my hair, until a few weeks ago when I used mine. Game changer! The larger towels can be used as scarves or wraps as well, Allan be monogrammed and come in tons of colors and stripes!
I am always open to clean beauty suggestions, so feel welcome to comment on your favorites!
Happy Saturday!
