  • Top 3 Products for Hair, Face and Body of 2021

    Top 3 Products for Hair, Face and Body of 2021

    We visited the set of Suncoast View today to share my top 3 product picks for 2021. If your looking for healthy skin and hair, we’ve got you covered from head to toe…literally.

    Still! Always my go to skincare year round. You can’t beat Lubriderm and now free of parabens and fragrance and infused with Omega-3.

    Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream
    PRICE: $8.97
    SHOP: @walmart, Target, Amazon
    In 2021, Lubriderm introduced its Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream which is fragrance and paraben free. The moisturizing cream helps transform extra-dry skin into healthy-looking, more resilient skin in just one week with twice daily usage. The Advanced Therapy Moisturizing Cream offers a thicker hydration formula and is enriched with Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5, and is infused with Omega-3 for additional moisturizing benefits.

    Another product that I am obsessed with, and certainly hooked every friend and client on is Theraderm’s NuPeel. It’s like magic for getting off that crepe-y, dead layer of skin that sits on top. I use it on my face, neck, knees, hands. EVERYWHERE that looks old. 

    Theraderm NuPeel Natural Enzyme Peel
    PRICE: $30
    SHOP: @theraderm.net, Amazon
    This micronutrient-rich enzyme exfoliating gel gently removes dead skin cells to promote glowing, radiant skin appearance. Utilizing papaya/papain enzymes to naturally exfoliate, and packed with a number of botanical extracts like aloe, pineapple, grape seed, green tea leaf and cucumber, NuPeel is like an at-home, natural facial peel in a bottle.

    And finally, hair…I’m a true believer that a healthy scalp leads to healthy strands. This scalp and hair serum kind of does everything in tandem. It’s really great on super dry ends and works in just a few days. 

    Kerastase Initialiste Scalp & Hair Serum
    PRICE: $53.00
    SHOP: @Sephora
