Are you into natural products? I personally love exploring natural product lines...especially when it comes to bath and body care products. Your skin is your body's largest organ. With so much surface area to absorb product, it makes sense treat your skin right, when you can, with natural products. No, I do not use 100% natural products across the board all the time. However, if I had two similar products side-by-side that worked similarly and one was natural and one was not, there is no question I would choose to use the natural product over one with chemicals and preservatives. I am all about adding natural when you can. Even just a little bit helps to decrease your overall chemical exposure. 

I am super excited about a natural products line that I have been exploring lately: Nubian Heritage. I am in the process of trying out both bath and body items from this line as well as facial skincare products (that review coming soon, too!). So, lets start off by talking a little bit about this interesting brand and then I will dive into my review!

About Nubian Heritage (from Nubian Heritage):

Nubian Heritage got its start 25 years ago on the streets of Harlem. Just out of college, former roommates, Richelieu Dennis and Nyema Tubman set out to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with fair trade and organic ingredients and bring them to the community. They were inspired by the legacy of ancient Nubia, which was once a center of cultural trade – a place where goods, ideas, and customs from across Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East were exchanged and spread across the world. The street vendors brought together global healing practices, cultural wisdom and indigenous ingredients to create modern wellness solutions that were highly sought after.

Today, the brand offers hundreds of culturally authentic natural products that are free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, propylene glycol, DEA, silicones, mineral oil, petroleum, synthetic fragrance and artificial color, and never tested on animals.

So, now that you know a little bit more about Nubian Heritage, lets talk about the awesome product that I tried out! To hear about a variety of bath and body products from Nubian Heritage, please click "read more" below!

Beauty from the Inside Out: 
All Natural Products for your Summer Beauty Routine:
Do you need to switch up your beauty routine for Summer? I always do! What works for me in the Fall and Winter certainly does not get the job done in Summer. Not only do my scent preferences change but also my skin goes from somewhat normal to combination/oily. Plus, with exposure to chlorine and sun, certain areas of my skin and hair get super dry. The Vitamin Shoppe has not just Vitamins, but also it has a ton of natural beauty options!

plnt Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil:

Coconut Oil sure is having it's moment of popularity...for good reason! This powerhouse oil is not only fabulous for cooking and supplementing your diet, but also it is fantastic as a topical beauty product for hair, skin, and nails! I honestly adore coconut flavor and scent. So, adding Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to my beauty routine is a decadent treat! plnt Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is organic, extra virgin, cold-pressed, non-GMO Coconut Oil with delicious flavor!

My Current Beauty Uses for Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil has almost limitless uses when it comes to beauty. As far as hair, I am currently liking the plnt Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil as a deep oil treatment to the ends of my hair. I just dab on a little to my dry ends before bedtime. It penetrates over night and in the morning I wash my hair as usual. I also like putting it on as a cuticle oil before bedtime to soften my dry nails and cuticles. In addition, my feet get so dry (and even cracked, ewh, I know) in the Summer. I like rubbing on some plnt Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on my dry and rough areas on my feet before bed as a deep oil treatment to soften the skin and prevent cracks.

African Black Soap Hand Cream:
This hand cream from the Vitamin Shoppe is so luxurious! I am a hand cream addict, lol. I like to keep hand creams everywhere to remind me to apply them frequently: by my desk, on my night stand, next to sinks, in my handbag, and in my car. This African Black Soap Hand Cream is my most recent favorite! It sits right next to my computer and I apply it throughout the day. It is formulated with African Black Soap which is a remedy for problem skin. It is also formulated with Oats, Aloe, and Vitamin E to soothe minor skin irritations. The cream is super rich and thick and leaves my hands feeling so nice and soothed! 

Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleansing Pads:
This time of year, I need an extra step to keep my pores clear. These Desert Essence Natural Tea Tree Oil Cleansing Pads are fantastic at doing just that...keeping my t-zone area clean and clear! Now, I will warn you that these pads are strong. They have both Tea Tree Oil (a natural acne remedy) and alcohol. So, they might leave you dry. However, I just use them in a few key areas: next to my nose and my chin. These are the areas that I occasionally experience breakouts or clogged pores. So, for those specific spots, these pads work great. They would be too strong to use over my whole face. I use just once a day or every other day and have had great results!
