"We absorb 65% of what we put on our body." Wellness Hacks (shortcuts, tips + tricks to integrate into our lives) One that Leah loves: Keep eucalyptus oil in the shower: put a few drops in your hands, place them around you nose/mouth, and take 5 deep belly breaths. Shop Good's Foundational Skincare Line: Botnia (the founder is based in Sausalito and grows almost 75% of all of the ingredients in the products in her own backyard) Some of Leah's favorite makeup products: TMF (Leah's favorite lipstick) Alima Pure Satin Matte Foundation Lily Lolo Mascara Toners: use right after cleansing - they help rebalance the pH in our skin Suggested Product From The Intro "Botnia is where it's at. When I first started using 4 of their products (daily face wash, fix zit face mask, toner & hydrating serum), I was skeptical, because my skin was in such a bad spot. But, these babies work, and I've been beyond pleasantly surprised with the results." -Kestrel's insight after using Botnia in her skincare routine for the last month.
