Budhi Teen Care: Foundation for Healthier Skin

I’m obsessed with washing my face. I never go a night without it. No matter how exhausted, or what a late night I’ve had, I go to the sink and take all my makeup off, and make sure to put on a ton of moisturizer. I don’t do it just because I love to go to bed with fresh, clean skin, but I do it because it is essential as a teen, and for skin down the road! I was blessed to be free from acne, but I have extremely dry skin (and it only worsens come the colder months).

No girl wants to worry about their skin issues, but the search for a product that works is difficult. With so many different products out there choosing the one for you can be a challenge. But, Budhi Teen Care might be the solution! Budhi is the Sanskrit word for intellect, and makes skin and hair products for teens so they can be confident, and not feel conflicted over their skin issues, plus they are made with EcoCert certified ingredients, which means they are made with nontoxic ingredients that are good for skin and the environment.

Stink Free For Me

In an age where body sprays promise to turn teenage boys into babe magnets and Celine Dion is the number one perfumer in the world it’s sometimes tough to breathe. For those of us with a sensitive snout (or lungs) it’s painful, sometimes even debilitating to deal with all these (mostly artificial) scents. If you’d rather douse yourself in toilet water than wear some odorous concoction, consider Dessert Essence’s latest line of fragrance free indulgences.

Though rich and lathery, these body washes, lotions, shampoos and conditioners are completely odorless—believe me I did a sniff test. In addition to being absolutely stink-free, the line contains no parabens, phosphates, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, phthalates, artificial fragrances or colors. Hmmm, I wonder how many of those are in Eau de Celine?

Best of all, each fragrance-free delight, like all Dessert Essence goodies, is 100 percent biodegradable, cruelty and wheat/gluten free. Seriously, this company is great. Not only do they support the efforts of organic farming (a big plus in my book), but DE manufactures all products utilizing wind power–very cool, indeed. Pick your stink-free saturants at any Whole Foods or health store nationwide.

Celine! Please, pipe down!
