St. Louis-Made Products for a Low-Maintenance Daily Makeup Routine
The year 2020 was one for the history books. From working at home to Zoom meetings to staying socially distant, your daily makeup routine was likely thrown a few curveballs. Get fresh-faced for the new year by embracing a minimalist routine that focuses on nourishing your skin and amplifying your natural beauty with these locally made products.
All Natural Deodorant
When creating a fuss-free daily routine, start off with the essentials: All Natural Deodorant by Herbaria. Essential oils paired with antibacterial ingredients work together to eliminate odor producers while dispersing a charming scent. It’s also free of aluminum compounds, which are commonly used in antiperspirants but can be harmful. This is one deodorant you can wear with confidence! Available in an 8-ounce spray for $13.99 or a 2-ounce spray for $5.99 at Herbaria (herbariasoap.com).
Rosehip + Citrus Facial Oil
LARK Skin Co.’s Rosehip + Citrus Facial Oil delivers a one-two punch by reducing active breakouts (buh-bye, maskne!) and balancing oil production – which can be critical during wintertime, when skin tends to overproduce oil in an effort to minimize superdryness. Massage a few drops into your face and neck, morning and night, to improve your skin’s overall tone and texture while brightening your complexion. Available for $38 at LARK Skin Co. (larkskinco.com).
Miracle Makeup Tinted Moisturizer
Sure to be a new favorite in your beauty arsenal, the Miracle Makeup Tinted Moisturizer from Bee Naturals uses natural botanicals to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its formulation color can be worn alone to let your own skin shine through or paired with your foundation for a boost of moisture, with skin-tightening properties. Available for $33.98 at Bee Naturals (beenaturals.com).
