My Trader Joe’s Essentials
Lemongrass Oil
My favorite part of this oil is the size. It’s so much easier to toss in a bag than a bulky jar. I’m usually the person who mixes scents into my coconut oils, but this one is perfect on its own. Fresh, citrusy & uplifting, I use it all over. Bonus: it doubles as a natural mosquito repellent, which makes it perfect for evenings outside.
Brazilian Nut Butter
Only a little is needed & it goes a looonnng way. I especially love using it on my feet before slipping on socks. My trick is leaving a little extra at the bottom of my feet without rubbing it in completely, it creates a soft “coating” that lasts. Rich, creamy & indulgent, this butter makes skin feel like silk without being greasy.
Lavender Salt Scrub
This one feels like your body is being scratched all over, but in the most soothing, spa-like way. It exfoliates deeply & leaves skin so moisturized that you don’t even need lotion afterward. My tip: be careful when using it, especially on feet, since the oil residue can make your shower slippery—I always give the shower a quick spray with cleaner afterward.
Hydrating Biocellulose Face Mask
This mask is my go-to when my skin needs a deep drink of hydration. I love leaving it on as I fall asleep. It feels soothing, refreshing & leaves my skin comfortably hydrated by morning.
Pink Pomelo Grapefruit Hand Soap
I’m usually not a fan of scented hand soaps because of skin sensitivities & how often I handle contacts, but this one is different. The grapefruit scent is light and never overpowering, which makes it a rare favorite for me.
Peony Blossom Scented Candle
Tiny but powerful, this candle fills a room with soft floral notes that feel fresh without being too sweet. It’s one of those small Trader Joe’s finds that instantly elevates your space.
