Mary Allan

Regardless of the pandemic, one of the easiest ways to maintain a healthy relationship with ourselves is by using beauty and wellness products. Our skin reflects whats going on from the inside out, and when we are out of balance and overly stressed it shows up in our complexion, explains Mary Allan, whose namesake brand features clean ingredients backed by science. A daily skin care ritual, combined with healthy lifestyle habits, can benefit the whole body and keep skin glowing. (In addition to a proper regimen, Allan counts on regular sleep, a morning green smoothie, drinking lots of water, and exercise to help her feel balanced.)

But during especially emotive times like these, Allan says its important to incorporate little wellbeing luxuries, like her new, limited-edition Rose Quartz Wellbeing Mist, into your daily rituals. The Rose Quartz Crystal is universally known as the energetic hallmark of unconditional love and wellbeing, says Allan. This mist infuses Bulgarian Rose Petal Water and Rose Quartz to refresh the complexion, while Hyaluronic Acid helps plump and hydrate the skin. Phyto Collagen, Beta Glucan, and fermented Glycoprotein further help fortify the skin. A few spritzes is all you need to hydration, tone, and firm your complexion in one easy step.

Lord Jones

Lord Jones CBD Body Lotion, $60

Theres no shortage of CBD lotions out there, but Im partial to Lord Jones version for several reasons. Its concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
