You’re A Triple Threat: Smooth, Sexy, and Smellin’ Good

BodyLove by Tal – Body Scrub ($28.00)

The Lowdown: Scrub away your skin troubles of the past with local brand BodyLove by Tal’s Vanilla Spice Body Scrub. Granted, some exfoliating body scrubs come on a little strong and can strip away the necessary oils our bodies need. To avoid the harsh application and intense exfoliation, this product was formulated to be cleansing, moisturizing and gentle for all skin types. With its creamy and whipped texture, you can still exfoliate and cleanse away dead, dull and dry skin for a radiant and smooth finish. 

Wit & West – Rosé LA ($160.00)

The Lowdown: Command the room with a rousing and fruity scent by Denver’s own Wit & West Rosé LA perfume. Scent has the pour to transport you to a certain zeitgeist of your life and evoke memories. Changing up your scent for the seasons can help your springtime era be all the more memorable and adventurous. With every spritz, this chic summertime scent is said to transport you to a sunkissed weekend away in West Hollywood spent on a rooftop pool with a glass of bubbly on deck.

Jo’s Body Shop – Jo’s Everyday Naked Body Oil ($24.00)

The Lowdown: Lock in your body’s moisture and give your skin an extra boost of hydration with locally-owned Jo’s Body Shop’s Everyday Naked Body Oil. Key word, body! Keep in mind this product is not intended for facial use. What this unscented and natural body oil does intend to do is smooth, soften and provide your skin with essential hydration. If you’re new to the body oil craze, the best practice is to massage onto damp skin post shower to lock in moisture.

And there you have it, all (in our humble opinion) the necessary products to keep your face, skin and lips hydrated and glowing all season long. You can thank us later.
