I’m Hooked on Kopari Beauty’s Clean Coconut Oil Deodorant

Lately I’ve been on a Kopari Beauty kick as I am a huge fan of the natural body care line for over a year now! When I heard about their aluminum-free coconut oil deodorant, I was excited to road test it when they gifted it to me along with some of their best-selling products.

So now I’m hooked on this all-natural deodorant—it’s 100% plant-based, contains zero baking soda, parabens, or silicone and, it glides on clear and isn’t sticky! Its fresh coconut milk smell is incredible and like no other deodorant I’ve ever used. It’s hard to find all-natural products that work well and smell fabulous, so I am truly thrilled with Kopari Beauty’s products!

The Kopari Coconut oil deodorant is a unique blend of coconut water, coconut oil, and sage oil that conditions and soothes your underarms. It’s like skincare for your pits! :)

Other Kopari Beauty Products I’ve been loving:

Coconut Rose Toner- this toner is filled with antioxidants, has rose and lavender extracts, and works to reduce redness and calm the skin. I keep it in my gym bag to stay refreshed after my morning workouts!

Coconut Lip Glossy- this non-sticky lip balm is super hydrating and offers the perfect amount of shine. I’ll either use it on top of a favorite lipstick before I go out, or I’ll use it alone to keep my lips moisturized throughout the day. Kopari Beauty also has tinted lip glosses that I’m excited to try!

 Coconut Shower Oil- this vegan shower oil is another must have! I love it because it’s gentle on my skin and is sulfate and paraben free! I keep it in my shower and use it daily!

Coconut Crush Scrub- this brown sugar scrub is infused with Tahitian coconut shells to that exfoliate your skin, leaving it super soft and hydrated. I use this weekly in the bath or shower and before I self-tan.

As I start to adopt more clean skincare and beauty products into my routine, I will always keep you in the loop because it’s so important to know what you’re putting onto and into your body!

I'm Obsessed with the New Instytutum Skin Care Line

As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Instytutum, the amazing results-driven skincare line! As a lifestyle blogger and former editor, I've tried and tested so many products over the years and this brand just stands out from the rest. I find that the high-performance formulas in their products really work. They are truly some of the best I've ever used and have played a big role in improving my overall complexion over the past year and a half. Several products have been game-changing for me in terms of the overall quality of my skin's appearance and texture. Instytutum recently relaunched their line with even more active ingredients and have added some new products with super-packed formulas. I've been testing out these innovative products now for a few months and WOWED by the results.

Read on for more details! 

Go to www.Instytutum.com and use promo code GlowGirl20 for 20% off all products!

One of the things I love most about the Instytutum skincare collection is that the brand is solely focused on achieving flawless skin and outstanding results for women of all ages. The products are all formulated without parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, synthetic dyes, or SLES/SLS. They contain extremely high levels of anti-aging and cosmeceutical ingredients such as Retinol, Peptides, Patented Stem Cells, Vitamin C, all types of Acids, plant extracts multi molecular hyaluronic acid and more. The proof is in the products-I personally noticed a significant difference after using them including a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and spots!

Transforming Melting Cleanser

Resurfacing Glow Toner

This Transforming Melting Cleanser is my go-to every day facial cleanser. I love that it goes on as an oil-based balm that transforms into a silky milk when it touches water.  It deeply cleanses my skin, dissolves all my makeup and hydrates at the same time. The cleanser is formulated with Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, and natural oils that also plumps, and helps renew the skin. There is no other cleanser like this one as it removes all the make-up and debris from my face PLUS it always stands up to my white towel test (use a white towel to dry your face after cleansing and you will see how clean that towel remains).

I like to use the Resurfacing Glow Toner after cleansing my skin a few times a week to chemically exfoliate the surface. This product has a much thicker consistency than other toners (there is no need to use it with a cotton ball-you can pour it in your hand and directly onto your face). I've noticed a visible difference in the size of my pores, appearance of wrinkles, and a more even skin tone since using.

Anti-Wrinkle Brightening C-ERUM & C-Illuminating 3D Moisturizer

The new Anti-Wrinkle Brightening C-ERUM is one of my hero products from the line because it pretty much does it all. This is a super-packed antioxidant serum that goes on like a white silky emulsion and is immediately absorbed into the skin. It's formulated with 15% Vitamin C THD (a very powerful form of Vitamin C). It also contains Niacinamide which stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles and skin sagging. My skins appearance is brighter now because the serum actually reduces melanin production so dark spots and discoloration are treated at the source. It also repairs the harmful effects of UV exposure and has anti-inflammatory properties that have visibly diminished the size of my pores and improved the overall texture of my skin. There are so many benefits to using this multi-tasking product so if you were to start with one product from the line, this would be it!

The C-Illuminating 3D Moisturizer is perfect for the days when you are not wearing much make-up and want an immediate glow and dewy finish. This super packed anti-aging formula contains Vitamin C to brighten, reduce hyper-pigmentation, stimulate collagen production, and increase elasticity of the skin. It's also packed with Shea butter, Almond and Jojoba oil, Allantoin, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5, and polysaccharides for anti-inflammatory, anti-pollution, smoothing, calming, soothing, softening, regenerating, and moisturizing properties. You will see and feel an immediate change after use and your skin will feel supple, plump, and intensely hydrated!

The Triple-Action Resurfacing Peel is my favorite product for exfoliation and polishing the skin. I like to use it a few times a week but it's gentle enough to use once a day. The formula has a creamy texture with added micro-polishing beads that resurface the skin surface.  It contains 10% Glycolic and Salicylic Acid, Papaya Enzymes, and Renewing Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E to moisturize, soothe, and regenerate the skin. Using this product is the closest thing to getting a professional microdermabrasion treatment (but much gentler on the skin) and also helps reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and pores while diminishing the appearance of discoloration and spots for a brighter, smoother, and renewed complexion.

My every day go-to products include Instytutum's Xceptional Flawless Cream and the  Truly Transforming Brightening Eye Cream. I think many of the products are great for men too. My husband Michael is a huge fan of the eye cream and uses it twice daily!

I'm proud to be a brand ambassador for Instytutum with my blogging partner Janet Gunn, a relationship that was sparked by our love for the products. Since I started using them for my overall skincare routine, my skin has become smoother, more even toned, radiant, and youthful! I look forward to continuing with the new reformulated line and beyond thrilled with the results. I hope you give them a try and let me know what you think. Bravo Instytutum!
