DRUGSTORE ESSENTIALS HAUL



I needed to replenish a few beauty // personal care items this week so I have a little drugstore haul to share with you. Like with deodorant, I've been trying out a lot of different toothpastes to find a healthier alternative. One of the brands I've been excited to test out is David's. Their toothpaste is formulated with natural ingredients free of artificial flavors, preservatives, colors and sweeteners. I picked up the Whitening Peppermint which is also fluoride and sulfate free. Because everything seems to run out all at once, I also needed floss + mouthwash. I tend to avoid using mouthwash regularly, however every once in awhile I like to use it for whitening or just to do a little mouth refresh. Therabreath does a great job and is alcohol free which I appreciate. 

Alright, we're entering into TMI territory but who am I to deny you the full haul experience?? LOL. On a real note, I needed to replenish this week so here we are. I will shoutout Always for always being my go-to brand. Hehe. If you haven't tried the Infinity or Pure Cotton line, both are great. Way more comfortable and they get the job done. I'll also add that the overnight ones are a total GAME CHANGER. You seriously need to try! I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little silly the first time trying (there's a lot going on if you know what I mean, LOL) but totally worth it. 

Last on my list is the Differin Daily Deep Sensitive Skin Cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide. I think I mentioned this a few weeks ago but I was influenced by Dr. Dray to give this a try. It's made to be an acne face wash, however she uses it on her underarms to help prevent bacteria + odors instead of wearing deodorant. Because I've definitely had a colorful experience trying out natural deodorants, I was intrigued by this. I definitely don't plan on giving up deodorant, however I'm interested to see if this will make the natural ones more effective. Since trying out cleaner deodorants, I've also known I'm much more prone to bumps and rashes which has honestly been one of the worst parts of trying to find a cleaner deodorant. It definitely feels counterintuitive and while I haven't pinpointed exactly what causes that, I'm hoping this may help prevent it in some way.
