A change in season often means swapping out a few beauty and wellness products to ensure our skin, hair and everything in between stay hydrated and healthy in the months ahead. With the first day of spring on the horizon, we tapped local shops and makers for recommendations for wellness products in Corpus Christi.
Texture Spray
FEVERED MOON
Curated to represent four moon phases, each with different scent profiles, local salon Fevered Moon’s handcrafted texture spray will help you achieve that summertime post-beach texture in the spring. This product is great for creating volume and movement, leaves your hair smelling fantastic and will help you enter into the next moon phase with the right energy. Available at Fevered Moon
CBD Lotion
DROPS OF LIFE
Drops of Life’s CBD Lotion for Pain Relief was developed to help you bounce back from minor injuries, aches and pains. Whether you’re sore from keeping up with those fitness-related resolutions or can’t get rid of that crick in your neck, this product contains high-quality, potent CBD to ensure absorption into the skin so you can feel the difference. Available online
Glossy
LEMON BOX BEAUTY
For the perfect spring pout, Lemon Box Beauty’s Glossy lip glosses are reporting for duty. The plant-based, cruelty-free beauty brand offers this moisturizing lip gloss in a wide-ranging selection of shades that are made to last all day. The best part? Its non-sticking formula will come in handy with Corpus’ springtime breezes — because you know how frustrating it is to get windblown hair stuck in your gloss. Available at The New Abnormal
Handcrafted Soaps
SAMAREM
Unlike commercial soaps often made with harsh chemicals, handcrafted options such as local brand Samarem’s offerings are typically gentle and safe for all skin types. A few of our springtime favorites include the Benny Char, ideal for normal/combination skin types; Triple Butter & Milk, great for quenching your skin’s moisture barrier; and Lavender, Rosemary & Turmeric, which includes excellent antioxidant power. Available online.
Beard Balm and Oil
WILDFLOWERS
The warmer, more humid weather of springtime may cause facial hair to feel drier. A local collaboration between Wildflowers and Lemon Box Beauty resulted in a beard oil and balm to help. This product boasts a blend of coconut oil for deep hydration, almond oil and pure castor oil for stimulating hair follicles and robust growth, and lightweight grapeseed oil for easy absorption. This fusion addresses both growth and moisture needs, leaving your beard irresistibly soft and manageable. Available at Wildflowers
Body Butter
POPPIN’ NATURAL
It’s time to refresh your skin after the harsh winter months, and Poppin’ Natural’s Body Butter is an excellent remedy. Packed with moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter, mango butter, almond oil, coconut oil and jojoba oil, this product is great for revitalizing even the driest parts of your body. Available at local markets
