Up For Cult Status, It’s H IS FOR LOVE!

SKINCARE / April 16, 2016

H Is For Love will be your new green beauty favorite…I’m betting on it. I’ve been using the line for weeks now and you will love it. Oh, and I happen to know that the creator, Bee, likes to throw in free samples, too!

Every single detail of this line is on-point, from the superb skin care to the gorgeous eco packaging. This line is almost entirely organic and wild-sourced and only natural preservation methods are used!

BARA BALM FACIAL EMOLLIENT

I love a great face balm. Why? Because before bed I like something with a little extra moisture and I feel like a balm fits the bill. Bara Balm feels wonderful going on the skin, has no greasy feel and is so light. I like to use this before bed on any parts of my face that I think need a little extra hydration. The scent is so pretty and sweet and it makes my foundation look flawless. In fact, I’m going to really recommend this if you find that your makeup can sometimes look dry and cakey. Just a small rub of this balm on your face and everything will look smooth, soft and youthful. You can also use this on any dry skin, too.

PROPOLIS REGENERATIVE FACE MASK

No loves a mask quite like me. Honestly. This is one of those masks that you never, ever want to run out of due to the fact that it does so much. Not not only does it feel wonderful (tingly without any redness) but the scent, the feel and look of the skin after makes it truly an all-around favorite for me. This mask /treatment stimulates cell renewal, cleans the skin, has lots of Vitamin C for collagen production, contains minerals and antioxidant-rich superfoods. So, if you’re looking to brighten up and jump-start your skin, this would be the mask for you.

RAPHA HARMONIZING CLEANSER

Not gonna lie, I think this is my favorite cleanser, all-time. I recommend it several times a week. Handcrafted oil cleansers are the complete package for me. I think it’s the best way to gently, but truly, cleanse the skin, remove all makeup and leave the face feeling hydrated without any tightness. Why am I loving Rapha? Well, first off, I love the slip of it and the way it completely dissolves makeup without any stress to the skin. Having to rub your eyes over and over to get makeup off is a big no-no, so getting a cleanser that will really loosen everything up and then wipe off with ease is key. H is for Love’s creator, Bee, is a huge proponent of being gentle with the skin and recommends using their new custom-made organic face cloth with warm water for the gentlest removal. I am absolutely in love with this cloth (that’s currently hanging in my shower) as it’s so soft and there’s zero pulling. It feels like you’re using a cloud to wipe off your face (all true). Another thing that makes Rapha fantastic? The scent. It’s so addictive and I love that I can smell it on my face post-cleansing. It’s pretty, subtle and makes washing off the day that much sweeter.

NECTAR NOURISHING FACE OIL

The oil to do it all: hydrate, calm irritation skin, brighten, regenerate and balance the skin. Fast-absorbing, Nectar Nourishing Face Oil is excellent for relieving irritation skin, fine lines and creating the perfect foundation for makeup application. This is all you need, no extra creams, just your SPF and you’re done. This face oil is made with a blend of cold-pressed plant oils and steam distilled essential oils picked for their brightening, anti-bacterial, cell-regenerative and anti-fungal properties. This will help balance your skin and provide serious nourishment. Plus, I’m also loving the scent of this! A super stellar face oil.

LIP CONDITIONER NO. 1

Lip Conditioner No. 1 is just dreamy, which is why it’s sitting on my nightstand now as my new favorite lip balm. So smooth and silky, its creamy texture is just right and the scent of it is my favorite: a mix of citrus and mint. This balm can also be used for any dry areas and on cuticles (I usually rub whatever is left on my finger onto my nails).

POLLEN ILLUMINATING MIST

Love a toner that does more than prepare the skin for moisture? H puts it like this, “Because the pH (potential hydrogen) of most tap water is more alkaline than the natural pH of facial skin, it is important to re-introduce balance after cleansing.” So, there you have it.Everyone should be using a toner and I never go without one. Why is Pollen Illuminating Mist so damn good? Because it does more for the skin than other toners. It evens, softens the skin, provides anti-inflammatory and astringent benefits and it smells so lovely. This is definitely one of my top toners…all-time!
