Ladies and gents, taking care of you body is a necessity, and I don't know about you, but when I use a product I want to make sure I know exactly what's in it and exactly where it came from. If you haven't heard of LUSH, I'm here to educate you right here, right now. LUSH is a handmade cosmetic store that has completely organic and vegetarian products that fight against animal testing and are good for the environment. (They are also the home of bath bombs for those of you who are blessed with a bath tub.) While every product at LUSH is amazing, these are the ones that I qualify as life-saving.

1. Charity Pot body lotion

Charity Pot lotion is a miracle jar. It has Fair trade Cocoa butter, Fair trade Shea butter, and Aloe Vera in it as well as some other dreamy essential oils to help completely moisturize and improve your skin. The Aloe Vera is gonna be great for helping your sun burn, and there's a property in the essential oils that mosquitoes despise. That means you can use this lotion as a replacement to bug spray, which is awesome because bug spray is terrible for your body and the environment. The best part about Charity Pot is that 100 percent of the product profit goes to Grass Root charities (human, environment, animals), and LUSH doesn't make a single cent from it. So basically you get the most amazing lotion ever and you're donating to charity.

2. Full of Grace serum

OK, so I don't know about anybody else but my face turns a blazing red after I shower and stays like that for hours and hours and no amount of moisturizer in the world can fix it. Enter Full of Grace serum. It's a cool little pink bar that works miracles. What you do is you "melt it" on your skin -- basically let your body heat warm it up -- and rub it in. BAM. Redness is gone and the skin is left feeling amazing. It's filled with ingredients like Organic Almond oil, Rose oil, Calamine powder, Fresh Portobello Mushrooms, Murumuru Butter, and so much more that are all amazing for dry, sensitive, and even maturing skin. Amazing.

3. Tea Tree Water

It's a toner water. What is toner water? It's amazing, that's what. Basically toner water is amazing to spray right on your face any time of the day. Need a pick me up? Spray. Feeling gross? Spray. Just washed your face? Spray. It hydrates your face but it's also super light, so if you have sensitive skin this is going to be your best friend. Tea Tree Water is the top ingredient (makes sense) and it is especially amazing for controlling acne, so this is great to pair with a facial cleanser. There's also grapefruit water and Juniperberry water which is amazing for making your skin glow and feel super fresh.I especially love using this before and after a face mask.

4. Enzymion

Let me explain. Enzymion is a facial moisturizer. It is a literal miracle worker if you have oily skin, especially in that troublesome T-Zone. It'll also help totally cleanse your face of dead skin and debris, so how awesome is that? This product also has Aloe Vera in it, so once again it'll help with sunburn. There is also Fresh Organic lemon infusion, Cold Pressed Organic avocado oil, Cocoa Butter, and a ton of other miracle ingredients to help your skin.

5. Sea Spray

This is for your hair. Basically, it's a super amazing smelling spray that will help add shape and volume to your hair and also leaves it smelling super fresh and beachy. It has sea water in it as well as Grapefruit oil, fine sea salt, and rosewood oil (plus much more) to help give your hair that beach wave bounce. I personally love pairing it with the Seakin shampoo bar, then I feel like I just spent the day at the beach even though I was actually sitting in my dorm staring at the wall.

6. Buffy Bar

Wow, Buffy Bar is like a super exfoliating dream bar that leaves you literally feeling like a baby's butt. It has Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter and crushed rice in it to leave you feeling amazingly soft. You just get the bar a little wet and rub it on your body. Then massage the little exfoliating bits into your skin and rinse it off. Honestly, who needs skin peels (that's a thing, right?) when you have the Buffy Bar. Slap some Charity Pot on after and you'll be ready to take over the world. Seriously.

7. Dark Angels

Last but not least is Dark Angels facial cleanser. It's an amazing face cleanser that has charcoal and black sugar in it which are both amazing for exfoliating and also soaking up all that excess oil on your face and leaving you acne free. Basically, what you do is crumble some in your hands, dampen it up a bit, and then lather it all over your face. After that, just rinse it off and feel soft and fresh. It's so amazing, and it actually works for getting rid of acne.
