Sexual Wellness Brands Have Officially Entered the Beauty Space. Here's Why it Matters.
Brands like maude have really taken the initiative to emphasize that skincare and body care isn't limited to just moisturizers and scrubs. The products we use for sexual health can be just as important as our skincare routines.Not only are brands like maude opening up the conversation about a topic that was once considered taboo (gasp sex and self-pleasure!); they're also helping us re-frame the way we think about sexual wellness products and how they're marketed and sold. When we start seeing products like lube available in beauty spaces, we start to remember that it’s normal and buying them shouldn’t feel like an awkward experience.
Levitate Spotlight: Billie Razors Are Taking On The Pink Tax And Celebrating Women's Body Hair
In addition to their amazing razors, what really makes Billie stand out to me is the fact that a lot of their messaging celebrates women’s body hair. Billie mentioned to me that they’re the first women’s razor brand to show body hair in their ads. Billie makes it clear that body hair on women is normal and that whether or not we shave is our personal choice.
Kairetool is The Beauty Tool That Might Just Replace My Facial Roller
Selfkaire developed a tool that addresses the drawbacks of a traditional roller. It's made of surgical steel, so it's much sturdier than a traditional roller which is great for those of us that like to apply more pressure when massaging, and the gentle rounded pins at the end can be used to target acupressure points. Plus a huge bonus: it looks great on my vanity. But what I love most about Kairetool is that it's more than just a beauty tool. It's incredibly versatile and it can be used on your body as well!
Sun Bum: A Sunscreen Love Story
One of the highlights of my summer was discovering Sun Bum! I'm pretty serious about sunscreen, and it's paying off as I learned during my visit to Atolla Skin Lab and when I found out that I have no signs of sun damage. Before going on a cruise last month, I asked for body sunscreen recommendations, and so many of your answers said I should give Sun Bum a try! Sun Bum's products are vegan and reef-safe, and in addition to all of their sunscreens having broad spectrum SPF ratings, they also all contain Vitamin E which helps to combat free radical damage and is intensely moisturizing.
The Pubic Hair Oil I Didn't Know I Needed In My Beauty Routine
I love so much about Fur Oil from the beautiful packaging to how soothing it feels on my legs post-shave. But I'm also in love with the ethos of this brand and how they're taking steps to normalize body hair on women.
