Let's be clear, we don't see our Sephora and Nordstrom shopping trips ending any time soon. Seriously most of us have long-lasting attachments to these brands that will require much effort to get rid of. There is no need to stop investing in some quality fashion and beauty products as soon as they are made ethically of course. That being said getting familiar with female-owned brands that don’t compromise the safety of their ingredients and formulas for a few quick bucks is a must.

No matter if you are a bag lover, a skincare hoarder, or simply enjoy hair care formulas that can actively help your hair get longer and healthier, surely there is a small, female-owned brand ready to deliver some well-packaged goodies to your doorstep. There is no need to hunt down the best-emerging businesswomen in your area, with the rise of social media we can instantly spot all the career-driven, talented individuals who decided to dive into the world of entrepreneurship. There is no need to spend all your hard-earned money supporting a giant corporation when they are so many lesser-known businesses that deliver the same (or even higher) quality products- they surely deserve your trust and recognition.

Unfortunately even the most female-centric industries like beauty, haircare, and fashion are still predominantly run by men. For me, it's all about celebrating women who continuously try to subvert the industry standards by embracing their individuality and follow their own path to success. As someone who is constantly sharing stories both here and on numerous other media outlets, every time I get the chance to feature an up-and-coming brand made by women for women, the answer is an instant "yes".

If you feel like doing some much-needed retail therapy today, It's perfectly understandable. Whether you are interested in adding a few wallet-friendly, all-natural hair oils to your cart, or simply looking to invest in some wardrobe accessory staples for an easy winter to spring transition, supporting female-owned fashion brands is a must. There is even a modern Instagram marketing ebook bellow that will definitely help you step up your social media game.

If you’ve already been schooled, keep scrolling to discover all the amazing goodies some small brands are willing to deliver right at your doorstep this year.

Since we spend most of our days indoors, it's safe to say that we have already made all our essential skincare/beauty purchases. However, most of us don't put the same emphasis on our hair treatments. The sad reality is that our skin is super absorbing (that includes our hair too), meaning we expose ourselves to more than 100 different chemicals on a daily basis- that's precisely why the all-natural hair care regimes are on the rise. 

All the above formulas are based on the miracle properties of plant-based ingredients including grapeseed, jojoba, almond, castor oils, rice grains, and tea tree extract to name a few. With these hair growth oils, you are able to increase growth and retain the length grown, especially when you use them consistently. The Beautae Bar is a mobile salon that specializes in natural hair care and products, specializing in protective styles on natural hair and regrowth regimens for healthy, long strands.

They also offer online consultations for all their first-time clients who want to treat their hair. The short online questionnaire will help them analyze the type of your hair and suggest the right products according to your needs! From what I hear Shantae McDonald, the founder of Beautae Bar is ready to release shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, so you definitely need to keep this brand on your radar.

Fashion is a tool that has the ability to empower women to feel confident and strong. This was a driving force behind Nefertari Designs, a handbag, and accessories brand that recently hit the market with their Winter 2021 collection.

Nefertari Designs is budget-friendly, not to mention extremely chic and versatile. From monochromatic mini clutches to chunky chain handles and animal print, there is definitely something for you on the website. Time to add some day-to-night handbags to your 2021 wishlist.

Last but not least, for all of us who love to deep-dive into the world of social media, but have no idea where to start, the Modern Instagram Marketing: 6 Steps To Building A Real Following On Instagram is simply a necessity. Whether you are a new female entrepreneur who wishes to grow her following and bring awareness to her work or looking for ways to achieve the influencer status, you can have access to this ebook for only $9.99.

There’s just over a month left until Spring so stocking up on my favorite warm-weather essential beauty and skincare finds is in full motion, hair oils included. With salons and all types of beauty services been closed most of 2020 definitely forced most of us to master the art of at-home self-care treatments - not that I am complaining, in fact, I am kind of proud of my new skills. And since real life doesn’t always permit hitting my local drugstore for some much-needed re-purchases of my favorite beauty and skincare products, Amazon is my one-stop solution for getting what I need in record time - I can even score some stellar sales and deals in the process.

That's precisely why these days I go out of my way to look for the most popular items on the site, Let's be honest if Amazon shoppers are consistently copping the same serums, moisturizers and lipsticks, that means these formulas must be beyond good.

The beauty and skincare section never disappoints, mainly because each day there’s an epic sale (or more) to help you score the best of the best. Nonetheless looking through dozens of pages can be quite overwhelming, especially if we’d buy them all - if we could. Fear not! Instead of browsing endlessly to find those amazing deals, I would encourage you to pay close attention to a select few Amazon Affiliates with a curated catalog filled with all the latest best-sellers and crazy limited-time-only discounts you might have previously missed - because once again, you couldn't stop browsing.

Keep scrolling to see my top money-saving picks straight from Ready2Hair beauty, skincare, and health collections - thank me later.

Cosmedica Hyaluronic Acid Serum

My go-to serum to eliminate acne scarring and hydrate my skin once a day.

InstaNatural Exfoliating Glycolic Face Mask & Facial Scrub

Infused with Aloe Vera, Vitamin C, Ginger, Pumpkin extracts, and of course, glycolic acid, this mask performs miracles on my skin. 

Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup

Since it's one of my most recent purchases, I haven't used this liquid foundation a ton of times, but you don't need a year's worth of testing to figure out if a product works- and let me tell you, it sure does. In case you are looking for a moderate coverage foundation that can actually be a part of your skincare routine, this is it.

CHI Luxury Black Seed Intense Repair Hot Oil Treatment

I came across this product a while back in a pr package, and since then I never looked back. The third bottle is already on its way. There is nothing like a hot oil treatment to get your hair ready for the warm seasons, am I right?

With salons and all types of beauty services been closed most of 2020 definitely drove most of us to teach ourselves the art of at-home treatments. One thing is for certain, staying home caused us to focus our attention on our skin and its needs- thank you isolation. Maybe you order an Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber on sale or started the 7 step skincare routine you never had the time to. Chances are, makeup took a backseat - and not because you suddenly decided to go all-natural. Well, snap out of it, because now is the perfect time to cop some amazing beauty deals to experiment with, as soon as they safely arrive at your doorstep. Who said that the "learn a new skill during quarantine" rule doesn't apply to the art of makeup?

Hold on just a second, before you add all the newest releases to your cart, take a quick moment to think if you actually want to let all the efforts you have been putting into your skincare routine go to waste. We can never have too much makeup, however, we can definitely have "too much" chemicals applied to our faces. Please don't kill the messager, I am just delivering the facts. Choosing a product goes beyond the brand name and cute packaging. In 2021 we need our products to be natural, cruelty-free, and effective- bonus point if they deliver smudge-proof, long-lasting looks with minimum effort.

It’s not every day that a beauty product checks all the boxes above and it’s actually affordable. It goes without saying that every time we come across a new beauty gem that can actually be a part of our skincare routine, we have to share. The list above is filled with only the best of the best formulas to help you reach a more sustainable and cruelty-free lifestyle without having to compromise your quality standards. From lip conditioners, jam-packed with antioxidant ingredients rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 in many fruity scents, to silky lightweight (vitamin E infused) liquid lipsticks, and gluten-free holographic lip glosses Carmela's Cosmetics is about to become your new one-stop destination for all things beauty.

Don't forget to look into their two high-pigmented makeup palettes that can guarantee some Instagram-worthy selfies. Oh remember to apply a few swipes of the Cinamon lip plumper to moisture, give a soft shines and a slight swelling- don't hold back, all these goodies on www.Carmelascosmetics.com are made in the US and Canada.

 

Let's get one thing straight, acne sucks - I am talking from experience. It took me a long time and many layers of high coverage foundation to finally admit that no matter how much I perfect my makeup skills, prevention always beats coverage. It's definitely been a journey a long journey ever since, filled with frustration and tears. Yes, as much I try to use humor as a coping mechanism, I have spent more than enough days at home, because let me tell you, breakouts not only ruined the way I looked but also took an extremely negative toll on my self-esteem. 

As said by an anonymous Pinterest user "taking care of your skin is more important than covering it up" - of course, we all use Pinterest for self-care inspo, no? just me, oh ok. The ingredients that we put on our faces do matter. While your favorite $100 moisturizer can be an excellent way to hydrate your dry, acne-prone skin, many formulas are sadly full of harsh chemicals, toxic additives, and a ton of synthetic ingredients including parabens, silicones, and sulfates. Luckily the demand for super effective, high-quality, organic, acne skincare is here to stay. That's why today I rounded up some of the best chemical-free products to help you hop over on the clean beauty wagon-none of these will break your bank, trust me.

Every skincare & haircare gem above comes straight from OrganicsClinic’s catalog, which is filled with only the best of the best formulas to help you reach a more sustainable and cruelty-free lifestyle.

Vitamin C 20% & Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Hyaluronic acid can not only moisturize your skin but also retain its elasticity. This formula is jam-packed with antioxidant ingredients to moisturize, smooth and brighten your skin. In other words, it's your vegan-friendly solution to reduce the depth of wrinkles while boosting the production of collagen and elastin. It also works as a great way to prevent the signs of aging. And lately, I became obsessed with the idea of using natural oils or Aloe Vera extracts for moisturizing and repairing purposes.

Acne Treatment Serum

If you have acne-prone skin, you already know the importance of incorporating a plant-based, mild treatment into your daily skincare routine. Infused with rich Tea Tree oil, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, and Salicylic Acid,, this formula will be your best ally in the fight for clear skin. Its super powerful ingredients will not only effectively remove your blemishes and blackheads, but they will also heal your pre-existing scarring. What more can we ask for?

Pink Clay Mask

Clay is the key ingredient to many high-quality skincare products because it actually works. The nourishing minerals found inside clay can not only act as an amazing skin exfoliation tool, but they can also travel deep into our pores to tightens, purifies and brightens your face while getting rid of excessive sebum. Sounds awesome, right?

If you are reading this article, then you are definitely one of us who love to keep it simple when it comes to our skin and hair care formulas. Incorporating Mother Nature into your skincare routine can not only be very simple but also super affordable. The reality is that our skin is super absorbing, meaning we expose ourselves to more than 100 different chemicals daily- that's precisely why more and more people prefer organic, all-natural skincare regimes. Most of these formulas are handmade based on scientific research about the miracle properties of plant-based ingredients- let's all try to stay away from the harmful chemicals many established beauty brands use even to this day.

Green beauty is definitely on the rise, but if you aren't yet on board with natural skincare and beauty products, don't worry. You will most definitely make the switch the moment you lay eyes on our list of all-natural, handmade formulas for your hair and skin. Yes, all of the products below are actually handcrafted, aiming to provide top-notch results to women and men without breaking the bank. Whether you are looking for an easy transition to clean skincare or simply want to add some new formulas to your collection, keep on reading.

CrazyGrow Herbal Hair Butter Cream, $6.99

Kiss your frizzy hair goodbye with this moisture-rich Hair Butter Cream. It contains the perfect mix of organic oils and unrefined butter. The formula is jam-packed with moisturizing-locking ingredients and antioxidative vitamin E for stronger, shinier, and softer hair. Unlike many other hair care products, this one does not rely on synthetic elements and harmful additives that could pose a risk to your hair and scalp. Don't worry, you can keep adding items to your cart because these natural treatments are under $10.

Kale Kò W Head To Heal Moisturizer, $7.99

Sure, your cult-favorite skin moisturizer with 20-letter ingredients works great, but what about the equally amazing indie products that use penetrating abilities of Hyaluronic and kojic acids to give your skin genuinely deep moisturization? For those of us who weren't blessed with crystal clear skin, the Kale Kò W Head To Heal Moisturizer promises to glow dark spots, even our skin tone, and smooth the appearance of fine lines and texture.

Best part? Every formula comes from a newly established female-owned business that offers handmade, affordable, all-natural hair and skin care products to the black community. Pao and Jo Clean Beauty, founded by Sylvine, a pharmacy-biochemist, herbalist, and now a full-time stay at home mom, entrepreneur. aims to help everyday men and women to be kinder, bolder, and beautiful inside and out. 

I’ve delved into the wonders of skin exfoliation and honestly, I can't get enough. Winter is definitely not my best friend- more like a distant relative that constantly tries to enforce his presence on me. It's safe to say that I would much rather prefer laying on the beach right now, sandkissed with not a care in the word, instead I' am here, indoors having to deal with dry, flaky skin and the absence of sunlight.

There is no other way to put it, dry skin sucks. Whether you are trying to apply a full face of makeup, only to get frustrated at the end, or simply cannot stand the look and feel of pasty skin, I get it! Most of us would do anything possible to get rid of it. Instead of rubbing half of your moisturizer bottle on your face and body praying for it to work, the quickest way to get your smooth, hydrated skin back is exfoliation. What's the quickest way to achieve the ultimate exfoliation? I hear you asking. Well, there is no better feeling than getting rid of all your dead cells with a nourishing body scrub during your shower.

Even though I mostly focus on acne skin treatments, body scrubs are for everyone. The benefits of skin exfoliation are a lot, there is no excuse for stocking-up on some stellar, handcrafted scrubs to keep us all healthy and glowy from head-to-toe.

If you are an avid reader of KmeetsStyle, you probably already know that simple skincare formulas won't make the cut. Choosing a product goes beyond the brand name and price tag. I need my products to be natural, cruelty-free, and effective ( bonus point if they come beautifully packaged from a small indie brand that puts love and effort in each formula).

Lucky for us there are many handcrafted, all-natural body scrub formulas ready to turn our homes into a makeshift spa, here are some of my favorites.

These candy-like body scrubs are not only super moisturizing due to their all-natural ingredients, but they also help you treat skin discoloration. IFURU Honey Sugar Scrub, the gentle moisturizing scrub treatment for your body is made with the perfect blend of pure honey, Tumeric, and everyone's favorite oil, Jojoba - known for their abilities to activate microcirculation & improves your skin's elasticity. The fresh Warm Vanilla Sugar and Midnight Floral scents exfoliate and brighten the skin thanks to their easy-to-melt formula.

Currently, IFURU offers 4 different body scrubs that promise to leave you with the most beautifully scented skin. Each product is jam-packed with moisture-rich, key ingredients such as brown sugar, pumping seed oil, shea butter, Kukui Nut, aloe vera, and many more. Don't worry, you can start putting items in your cart because these skincare miracles are all under $16.

If you’ve always adored full, voluminous lashes that capture everyone's attention without breaking the bank, you've probably envied the looks of many beauty gurus at some point or another. I am always amazed by the talent of some women who have mastered the art of placing them evenly while making it seem like the easiest task. Let's be honest, we are all guilty of purchasing a pair of low-quality lashes, only to get frustrated with the lack of results- I know I am. That being told, a good mascara is a necessity but, a voluminous pair of lashes is simply transformational.

Nowadays there are so many different options to achieve the perfect eye look. From lash lifts to extensions, the list goes on and on but, all of the above are not only hard to maintain ( kiss your oil-based cleansers and beauty products goodbye), they are also very costly. Even though these options may sound appealing to some, I personally prefer to change and adapt my look according to the occasion.

With such a great variety of options, from synthetic lashes to natural styles in all shapes and sizes, it can be overwhelming at times.No matter your preferences, below I rounded up some of the best user-friendly, cruelty-free false lashes designed for pros and beginners.

How to choose the best false eyelashes?

In other words, things I wish I knew sooner. Understanding the shape of your eyes is the most important step towards the perfect makeup look. Do your eyes slant upwards? How much space rests between them in the middle? Are they hooded, deep, or close-set? Thankfully there are many online guides on how to apply makeup according to your eye shape to help you figure everything out.  

On KmeetsStyle we always choose vegan, eco-friendly options with a powerful, inspiring message- yes even when it comes to lashes. Should you want to throw one or two into your New Year shopping list, I recommend any of these top-rated false eyelashes.

1rst raw: Risk-Taker, Creative, Focused

2nd raw: Self-awareness, Passionate, Goal-Oriented

JenoLuxo is cruelty -free, environmentally conscious brand that focuses on empowerment. The beauty industry is surely a very toxic place for young women and men. Brands like JenoLuxo help us feel confident in our skin-inside and out. There is nothing worse than doubting and comparing yourself to others. We are all beautiful in our own way, no matter what the influencer culture and outdated magazines try to pass as "beauty standards".

"Beauty products should be a medium that helps you reflect your inner persona on the outside, not a mask that keeps your persona hidden away" shares JenoLuxo their about page, and I couldn't agree more. It's only fair to include this brand in my end-of-the-year post since they actively stand for everything I admire.  

They cater to everyone who isn't afraid to be unapologetically beautiful and that's something I definitely support. They perfectly understand how important it is to help the environment, $1 of every purchase will be donated to environmental improving organizations. Their packaging (box & lash tray) is recyclable and/or re-usable (like the jewelry bag they place it in). JenoLuxo balances between luxury and minimalism, all at a very affordable price. Every pair of lashes can be worn up to 28 times. Happy Shopping!

During the last decade "cleanse" diets and juices are at the top of most of our "to-do" lists when it comes to body detoxication. We get it, sometimes we make poor choices - let's face it, these times are most often during the Holidays. While detoxing your body sounds like a great tip, wouldn't be better to detox your skin too? Our pores are constantly extracting toxins, skin is after all a detoxifying organ. It would only be fair to give it a boost. Luckily there are many ways to speed up the process.

As much as we try to stay true to our daily skincare routine, life can sometimes be too hectic. I often find myself skipping a few steps, only to regret my lack of effort as soon as the first breakouts kick in- thanks acne-prone skin. Maybe you are also someone who simply cannot say no to French fry binges, I feel you! These.. skin detox steps are quick, easy, and capable to help you minimize the negative effects of skincare neglect.

At-home facials

A proper facial can be 10 times for effective than a normal skincare routine. Apart from being on our "top most relaxing things" list, your skin will immediately look brighter and healthier. Visiting a spa or a dermatologist may be the best way to get the full experience, you can always learn how to perform at-home facial treatments like a pro. What's the quickest way to boost circulation and prepare your pores for a skincare treatment? Steam! It's easy and ridiculously effective in detoxifying the skin. Prepare a bowl with hot water, drape a towel over your head as you lean over the bowl, and let the steam do all the work for you.

Hydrogen Peroxide Baths 

Hydrogen Peroxide Baths are the new craze because they work. This doctor-formulated invigorating bath treatment will not only detoxify your body, it also works as the ultimate body cleanse, can balance your PH and oxygenate your skin, do I need to say more? I recommend the Soakness™ bath formula ($8,99), the first all-in-one hydrogen peroxide bathing product, designed to give you the ultimate spa experience - from the comfort of your own home.

How does it work? The Magnesium Sulfate, Dead sea salts, clay, oatmeal, and hydrogen peroxide (amongst other doctor-approved ingredients) disposes of all the harmful toxins from your body while promoting relaxation and well-being. Take a few moments to distress, relax, and break free from your hectic schedule.

Adapt your diet

Image by Stocksnap

Especially now that we spend a lot of time in our homes, there is no excuse! Getting the right nutrients and maintaining an overall healthy diet is crucial not only for our health but for our skin as well. If you’re like me and love your MacDonald's and sweet coffee, it’s a tough reality to face that these are not helping your health. Your diet should reflect your cleansing goals. Especially if you also have acne-prone skin, stay off dairy products, fried foods. Fruits, vegetables, and legumes are at the top of the list. I personally prefer smoothies and cold press juices too.

Incorporate clay products in your skincare routine

We previously talked about the benefits of clay, you will be happy to hear that they are also a great addition to your skin detox routine. Clay skincare does just that and some, noticeably smoothing and clarifying the skin. Yes, that means that you use it during your Hydrogen Peroxide Baths, thank me later.

Let's face it, breakouts suck- I am talking from ten years' experience. After going on some questionable prescription pills many years ago, my skin went cray cray. It's definitely been a journey ever since, filled with ups and downs (well, mostly downs). As much as I use humor to cover up the fact that these breakouts ruined not only the way I looked, but also the way I felt at the time, the reality is acne can have a long-term negative impact on your self-esteem.

Some days my face looks clear (ish), and I feel incredibly confident, while on other days sudden breakouts make me feel so uncomfortable and miserable I don't want to leave the house. I know, there are cases way more severe than mine but, but I'd be lying if I told you It never impacted the way I see myself.

You often see me raving or bushing skincare products, that's because I never miss the chance to try or make extensive research on new acne treatment products. Before I was getting frequent heavy facials that only further damaged my skin in the long run. Heavy exfoliation simply doesn't work for me. I've switched over to all-natural, organic products that only use raw ingredients in their formulas. My skin has gotten so much better! These days, I stick to a simple, gentle routine featuring super hydrating cleansers with Aloe Vera and tea tree extracts, non-oily face mists rich in Vitamin B3, nutrient-rich soaps, and plant-based moisturizers. 

You will be surprised to know how affordable organic skincare really is. It's a win-win situation! Today I will share with you some top-notch products to not only improve your skin's hydration levels but also unclog your pores or prevent any future breakouts. Best part? Every formula comes from an incredible female-owned business.

Farmhouse is an Atlanta, GA based luxury Wellness Company focused on creating sustainably sourced, high-quality, 100% organic, non-gmo, cold-pressed formulas. These holistic herbal wellness products are vegan friendly, cruelty-free, and come in recyclable/ or reusable packages. "I was a busy mom living in a booming city, I became frustrated by the ingredients in the products that I brought into my home. Out of necessity, I began to make my own skincare products & herbal remedies with holistic and certified organic ingredients 12 years ago" says Toni Simon, founder of Farmhouse Organic. 

You can also find a detailed "How To" guide with product suggestions specifically for your skin type. The "Acne & Breakouts" skincare line is designed to control irritation, prevent future breakouts, clear pores, and heal your pre-existing scarring. Below you will find a collection of helpful products formulated to treat and prevent acne scars and breakouts.

Most of us don't need an elaborate excuse to go shopping but, just in case you are looking for a good enough reason to invest in some new apparel, beauty, or jewelry, consider supporting a female-owned small business. Certainly, we all have our go-to trusted stores and boutiques but especially during the Holidays, there are so many emerging businesses that you could be shopping instead-most of them offer exclusive and one-of-a-kind styles you won't find elsewhere.

All of these brands offer the same (or even higher) quality as household names, the main difference is that you will be supporting the designs of talented individuals who aren't afraid to go all in. Yes, I am a big advocate for shopping small, there is something inspiring about women who battle their way in the industry.

Whether you are interested in some athleisure sets to boost your daily workouts, in desperate need of an at-home EMS and LED facial toning therapy, or simply on the hunt for the perfect gifts, Why not diversify your collection with some goodies from a fantastic small brand?

Today I gathered some awesome fashion and lifestyle finds to cop right now (tomorrow and for many years to come). Consider buying natural wick dough bowl candles for your next self-care night or, get cozy in a super soft robe during your next movie marathon. 

Love AJoi is an apparel, jewelry, home decor, and beauty & wellness website with a very clear message. The carefully curated selection of products came from Love AJoi's travel and life experiences. From loungewear to workwear and everything your home needs right now, they surely focus on comfort, elegance, and beauty. I don't usually find stores that offer both home goods and apparel so, when that time comes I need to shed light on them.

 

 I am always on a huge mission to get rid of blackheads, even though my acne-prone skin refuses to follow my instructions. I constantly find myself trying new, innovative gadgets that promise to guide me into a life of invisible pores. From Rose Quartz Rollers and Microcurrent Facial Devices to all-time classic pore strips, the list goes on and on. Needless to say that my skin refuses to let go of all its blackheads for more than one week-thanks a lot. However, even though I have a 30x30 drawer filled with skincare technology the Urskino™ Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber and its benefits came as a positive surprise.

I know, the name itself makes you think of a time-consuming procedure that involves a lot of tech knowledge. Guess again, because, like most of us, I am very lazy to learn how to operate complicated gadgets. The Ultrasonic Scrubber is easy to carry and use - another great point, it's actually aesthetician-approved.

So, Why do you need a new skincare gadget?

Firstly, especially during the lockdown, paying a visit to our esthetician may seem like a very hard task. Your at-home facial therapist (aka the Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber) has three different modes to ensure long-lasting results no matter your skin type. 

1. Let's clean our faces: The High-frequency ultrasonic oscillation technology delivers just the right amount of pressure and vibration in order to remove dead skin and blackheads with ease. 

2. Don't forget to moisturize: That's the part that caught me by surprise. Most skincare gadgets begin and end with the promise of delivering blackhead-free skin but, this one takes the "care" in skincare one step further. It will break down molecules (like VC and collagen) to help you massage your skin and absorb nutrients.

3.Lifting mode: The miracle micro-current pulse technology can activate cell vitality, regenerate your skin's collagen and help you restore elasticity due to its massaging function.

Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber, $39.99

Not so fun, but a necessary fact to know, our skin is super absorbing - meaning we expose ourselves daily to more than 100 different chemicals. Sounds awful, I know! That's exactly why natural skincare and beauty products are rising at the moment. Most all-natural beauty brands are handmade, using only the best of the best ingredients while staying away from all the harmful chemicals we see in many established beauty brands.

Here, on KmeetsStyle we always focus on bringing attention to up and coming, independent brands and websites that offer the best formulas at a very affordable price. Why? The answer is pretty simple. Even though leading brands carry the title of popularity, nothing beats the excitement of receiving your beautifully packaged, order from a promising indie brand that goes under the radar for most. 

Despite the fact that many companies slap all kinds of buzzwords on their packaging, not all brands live up to their marketing standards. You should always take a careful look at the ingredients. With many scientific studies supporting the benefits of plant-based ingredients, focus your attention on ethical, sustainable plant-based formulas that don't test on animals or harm the environment in any way.

Luckily the demand for super effective, high-quality natural skincare is here to stay. That's why today I rounded up some of the best chemical-free products you should cop right now. They are good for your skin and the environment. Let's not forget the chic packaging that guarantees some insta-worthy flat lays. Every skincare & haircare gem below comes straight from The Natural Rose’s catalog, which is filled with only the best of the best formulas to help you reach a more sustainable and natural lifestyle.

AHOY LOVE Nourishing Cream Cleanser, $19

This Aloe infused nourishing cream will brighten and nourish your skin with its creamy formula. Especially if you have dry, mature skin the Seaweed Vitamins, antioxidant-rich Green Tea, and smoothing Hibiscus Extract will be a great addition to your skincare regime- day and night.

SIREN SILK Multi-Tasking Hydration Creme, $52

We cannot get enough of our hydration creams, especially if they offer deep moisturization throughout the day. Infused with medley of Sea Retinol, Superherbs, superfood antioxidants, and plumping omegas, this cream will rejuvenate your skin and fill the fine lines. What more can we ask?

SAMPHIRE Sea-Retinol Digital Serum, $49

This super-hydrating formula features Sea Samphire plant, the best alternative to retinol. It will also protect your skin from the harmful blue light emitted from electronic devices - which is something I desperately need. Best part? Sea Samphire works miracles on sensitive skin and it's pregnancy-friendly.

NCLA Lip Scrub - Pink Champagne, $16

Your new natural and vegan lip scrub obsession, made from beet sugar, cocoa butter, and agave nectar. Your lips will be brighter and smoother in no time.

SUNSTONE Hair Revive Elixir, $30

Just because I no longer have waist-length hair, it doesn't mean I am done with haircare treatments. This formula focuses on the revival of dull or damaged hair with the help of superfood nutrition. Bonus point: the fantastic smell of flowers & fruits.

What would we do without men in our lives? Fathers, brothers, cousins, best friends, and boyfriends, they are always here to cheer us up-each of them in their own way. Let's not forget all the hours we spend nagging at them. That's why today's Christmas gift ideas for him list is the ultimate way to thank them once again this Holiday season.

Finding the one gift your male friends and family members will actually use is pretty tricky. I don't know about you but, for me, it's all about the thrill of the hunt-and the surprised expression they get each time they tear open their carefully wrapped git (I am a pro).

Men seem to already own everything, from clothes and shoes to tech, gadgets, and many more in between. It's time to find something unique, well thought, AND useful. Maybe something most of them wouldn't go out to purchase themselves-sadly.

2021 is the year of change, which includes the way we perceive skincare as well. For decades having a trusted skincare routine, tailored to your own individual needs was fine, as long as you were a woman. Men used to stick to their all-time classic grooming routine. Putting effort into their appearance was fine, as long as they didn't care "too much" about it. Thankfully these highly unnecessary gender stereotypes are now broken. I should know! My 60 years old dad owns quite a few moisturizers and scrubs.
