Femininity and confidence go hand in hand, and what better way to nurture confidence than by taking care of yourself from the inside out?
In honor of our October Challenge, we’ve rounded up some of the best beauty and wellness products that are guaranteed to give you a confidence boost. Taking the time to care for yourself - even if that means spending a few extra minutes each day to do your skincare routine - is an important part of feeling good. We all deserve to care for ourselves and our bodies, no matter what that looks like for you.
The products listed below are some of our favorites for feeling our best and inspiring us to live a confident life.
1. We love a company that honors the natural beauty of our planet, and Living Libations does just that. Living Libations products are bio-active and botanical, with an emphasis on celebrating the energy of our “people, plants and planet.” This boils down to products that truly emanate beauty from the life-force of their ingredients. We especially love the Seabuckthorn Oil Cleanser - it’s a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer in one bottle, and great for your post-workout sweat.
2. When it comes to all-natural skincare lines, OSEA easily rises to the top. The seaweed-infused skincare uses all-natural ingredients that are scientifically-proven to benefit your skin. We love the Undaria Algae Body Wash for a post-workout cleanse - it’s gentle on the skin, with reinvigorating notes of citrus that will make your mornings that much sweeter.
3. There’s nothing like wearing a cute workout set to give you an extra boost of confidence and motivation for your workout. The SET Active SportBody bra and legging set is perfect for your daily Pilates session. Besides the ultra-flattering fit and style, it provides all day comfort - taking you from the mat to the street with no outfit change necessary.
4. We’re obvious skincare lovers here, and Dr. Diamond Metacine has cracked the code for ultra-hydrating skincare. Although it’s an investment, the efficacy of their signature Instafacial Collection makes it worth it (plus they’re long lasting)! The Plasma Serum lifts and firms the skin, while the Emulsion Night Cream speeds up cell renewal and supports collagen production. When used together, you’ll look and feel like you finally booked that well-deserved facial.
5. We’re firm believers that you can show up to your mat in any form, but it’s always a confidence booster to feel just a little bit put together. When working up a sweat, the Goldie Locks Flyaway Fix Pomade Stick keeps those pesky flyaways at bay. It’s great for sealing those baby hairs back and giving you that sleek, polished look with just one effortless swipe.
6. Sometimes the smallest acts of self care can make the biggest difference in your day. The MARA Sea Sculpt Body Oil is the perfect way to give your body a little extra love. Infused with plankton and celery seed, this firming body oil will keep your skin silky smooth while also helping to reduce cellulite and stretch marks. In their own words, it will “sculpt your curves to look and feel like your body, but better.”
7. Our best tip to feel good in your skin? Take care of it! Retinol has been deemed the gold standard in skincare since its inception, and Ogee has revolutionized the first of its kind Natural Retinol Retinal Extract. It’s more gentle on the skin than pure retinol, but still delivers powerful anti-aging benefits. Knowing that you’re taking care of your future skin is a confidence booster in itself.
8. We love a collagen supplement that benefits our skin, nails, hair, fertility, and bones (just to name a few!) FullWell’s Collagen is a favorite - it’s unflavored so it can easily be added to any beverage. With their scientifically-backed and sustainable formula, there’s nothing better than knowing that you’re giving your body the nutrient and antioxidant boost that it deserves.
We hope that these products have inspired you to take the time for you, this October and always!
