“You only need that one bar for your whole body. Millennials are really interested in taking care of their skin. I wanted to design something very essential for them,” says Sallie Austin, who now runs the company that was launched by her father in 1982.

The reason for making soap initially came out of a family need. “My older brother was born environmentally ill and had eczema and psoriasis,” said Sallie. “My dad researched how to make soap. He was a botanist and avid gardener his whole life and found a way to make soap different from anyone else using a hot and cold process. My dad has been making soap for 32 years. I dropped out of law school to take over the business.”

KRUDD_Soaps-1KRUDD soaps are very moisturizing and great for keeping bacteria and infection off the skin thanks to the frankincense and myrhh they put in every bar.

“The fragrances are incredible,” said Sallie. “We put three times the amount of essential oil than in our other soap. We don’t use any coconut or palm kernel oil. They are a bit more harsh on your skin.”

Right now there are six different scents of KRUDD bars. Each bar lasts two to three months if kept dry between use. Retail price: $22.95 per bar.

With that said, not all of us are gifted with naturally pigmented skin. However, the good news is that we all can achieve that perfect sun-kissed appearance, if but for only short periods of time. Spray tanning is a healthy and easy way to maintain the perfect tan, potentially without a single tan line. And, there are literally no drawbacks to the process, unlike the alternatives of tanning beds and prolonged exposure to nature’s UV light.

Super-Dry Winter Skin Got You Itching? You Need a Healing Salve or Balm

When the lower temperatures of winter hit, humidity levels drop. You may already be reaching for a humidifier to keep your home comfy -- and your sinuses happy -- but if you’re heading out into the season’s cold, arid climate, your skin may need a little extra help.

Sure, you should still be using a basic moisturizer, but for a more intense treatment, turn to thicker, creamier balms, salves, and ointments. They’re particularly helpful for extra-dry patches, plus cracked, itchy, and chaffed skin that oftentimes comes with colder weather. The best balms for dry skin offer a more intense level of moisturizing and healing action to restore the skin's natural barrier to keep the skin healthy.

As the end of summer slowly begins to creep in on us, so does the reality of heading back to school – or wherever else you find yourself professionally once the warm weather officially departs. Regardless, we’re heading into that inevitable time of year where you’re expected to present a more polished version of yourself, and taking care of your hair should be a top priority.

But with the pandemic far from over, and the lingering effects of quarantine style still in full force, you’re certainly not the only one that might be questioning what hairstyle to have right now. Due to endless months of lockdown fatigue and event cancellations (like fashion week), there’s been a noticeable lack of new or trendy hair looks to take inspiration from.
