We’ve read many health articles on the harmful chemicals that could be hiding in our favorite shampoos, soaps and cosmetics, but some of the natural alternatives out there aren’t that appealing. Güd from Burt’s Bees is here to better your beauty routine from head to toe with real, natural ingredients – no parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals allowed! All of the products in the line come in four scrumptious scents: the seductive Vanilla Flame; the refreshing Pearanormal Activity; the sweet Floral Cherrynova; and the energizing Orange Petalooza. Regardless of your favorite fragrance, Güd will leave your skin and hair feeling super soft and smelling good enough to eat.
Available at major retailers nationwide and GudHappens.com for $4.99-$11.99.

We’ve all dreamed of makeup that lasts all day and all night without a single smudge or any fading. Although keeping your makeup for hours on end seems impossible, you can up your chances by using a primer. Even though it’s an extra step in your beauty routine, using a primer will help hold your makeup in place so you won’t have to touch up as often later (and who has time for a million touch ups, anyway?). Try one of our favorites and runaway makeup will be a thing of the past.

We can’t wait to toss our coats and bulky sweaters into the back of the closet and let the sun shine on our skin once more. We’re just not sure our skin’s ready as some spots are more rough and uneven than others. CeraVe is helping to smooth things over with its new SA Renewing Lotion. It loosens and exfoliates dead skin cells thanks to salicylic acid and ammonium lactate, allowing moisturizers and Vitamin D to get deep into the skin to soften and hydrate. Using Multivescular Emulsion technology, it creates a controlled and continuous release of ingredients for all day moisture. So once the temperature starts to climb, we’ll be slathering this on for supple skin all over.

Our once luxurious locks begin to thin as we age, which can be extra challenging for those with fine hair. While extensions provide a temporary fix, it can make your mane matters worse if they’re not put in correctly. Aveda’s new botanically based Invati system (which is Sanskrit for “invigorate”) harnesses the power of turmeric and ginseng in its Densiplex formula to reduce hair loss from breakage by 33%!

Invati’s Exfoliating Shampoo removes buildup that can clog follicles and stimulate scalp circulation. The Thickening Conditioner penetrates the strands to strengthen and thicken it from the inside out for a fuller hair effect. The Scalp Revitalizer uses Vitamin E to stimulate stronger hair growth and improve microcirculation through massage. The system is also infused with other Ayurvedic plants and herbs like lavender, rosemary, and ylang ylang for an extra dose of aromatherapy. In just a few weeks, this new system will take your limp locks and transform them into thick tresses worthy of any Hollywood starlet.
Available at Aveda.com for $24-$60.
