Summer is fast approaching, and all of us in the Houston area know that means plenty of heat and humidity are in store. Since the heat sets in a little earlier than other states, I wanted to do a post about skin and makeup products that are summer friendly, natural and cruelty-free.
I was first introduced to eczemahoneyco during a brutal bout with guttate psoriasis, and I was astonished by how well the product worked. Although it comes in a small container, it will last you for a while since you don’t need much of the product for each application. The formula is tacky, but it nourishes and moisturizes your skin and smells fantastic as well. The scent reminds me of fresh sunflower, which in retrospect makes sense since one of the base ingredients is sunflower oil. Another thing I love about this product is that it’s organic, handmade, and non-toxic. If you have eczema, guttate or plaque psoriasis, or just a general case of dry skin, I highly recommend this product for you.
Let me tell you, this combination has been my secret weapon against the summer skin struggles. I’ve tried countless remedies, but nothing seemed to work as effectively as these products. The soothing healing cream has been a true lifesaver for my eczema-prone palms. It’s like a breath of relief for my irritated skin, providing the much-needed comfort and moisture that I’ve been searching for.
But the real game-changer has been the scalp oil. Dry scalp has been my nemesis for as long as I can remember, and it’s not exactly the confidence boost I’m looking for during social outings. Enter eczemahoneyco‘s scalp oil. This little bottle of magic is packed with goodness. Aloe Vera Juice? Check. Olive oil and Jojoba oil for deep hydration? Check. Vitamin E oil and colloidal oatmeal for nourishment? Check. And let’s not forget the natural essential oils blend of tea tree oil (hello, anti-fungal properties!) and lavender oil for a calming touch.
This scalp oil has been a total game-changer. No more embarrassing head scratching or trying to discreetly deal with dry flakes. With each use, my scalp feels rejuvenated, moisturized, and, most importantly, itch-free. It’s a relief I never knew I needed until now.
So, as the sun shines and the adventures beckon, I’m armed and ready with my eczemahoneyco skin saviors. These products have transformed my summer skincare routine, giving me the confidence to embrace every moment without the worry of dryness or discomfort.
Here’s to a summer filled with radiant skin, carefree laughter, and the freedom to fully enjoy the beauty of this season.
With gratitude for healthier skin,

Allow me to introduce you to a hidden gem nestled right here in Houston, TX. A local business with a decade-long legacy, she ventured into the world of skincare, crafting her brand with love and dedication. While I only recently discovered her at a local farmer’s market event, her impact on my skin has been nothing short of remarkable. Her products, steeped in the values of organic purity and cruelty-free ethos, have breathed new life into my complexion, imbuing it with vitality and youthful radiance.
My journey with her products has unfurled a transformative skin routine that I’m thrilled to share with you all. Before I embark on the canvas of makeup application or rest my head for the night, I embark on this ritual that has become a cherished part of my day.
First, a cleanse that’s anything but ordinary – the MUDD Clay Cleanser takes center stage. With gentle yet purposeful circular motions, I indulge in a 1-2 minute massage that serves as both cleansing and exfoliation. Note that exfoliation is reserved for bi-weekly sessions, ensuring the rejuvenating process is gradual and delicate. Tepid water washes away the day’s residue, leaving my skin refreshed. I then engage in a gentle pat dry with a clean towel, mindful not to tug or stretch – after all, the skin’s delicate nature warrants such tender care.
With the canvas prepped, it’s time to bestow my skin with the goodness it craves. The SOS Hyaluronic Acid serum assumes the role of a superhero – it’s a personal favorite, offering a surge of hydration that seeps into the skin’s layers. Allowing it a leisurely two-minute interval, I prepare for the final act of moisturization.
Here, the Nourish Face Oil assumes the stage, accompanied by the ethereal mist of the Rose Petal HydraMist. A synchronized dance between hydration and calming rejuvenation takes place, weaving a symphony of elements that ensure my skin is prepped to embrace whatever comes next.
I must admit, however, that this routine adapts when makeup adorns my face. The Nourish Face Oil takes a step back, especially in the t-zone area, ensuring my makeup adheres seamlessly.
The local business’s commitment to quality, ethics, and handmade craftsmanship is a story I’m thrilled to tell. The youthful glow and improved health of my skin are testaments to the magic these products weave, one layer at a time.
Building skincare habits like this are particularly important in parts of the world that get excessive amounts of sun.
Physician Formula – a brand that consistently delivers remarkable products that stand the test of time. I’ve previously shared my love for their foundation in a dedicated blog post (check it out here [Link]), and I’m delighted to reiterate my admiration for this exceptional find. The product’s excellence is such that I find myself returning to it repeatedly, wholeheartedly recommending it to all who seek quality.
This foundation continues to captivate my heart, particularly during the summer months. Its performance remains unparalleled, especially when I’ve achieved an extra tan. The added bonus of SPF 20 only enhances its appeal, ensuring that my skin remains safeguarded while looking effortlessly flawless.
Tarte Shape Tape – a true gem in the realm of concealers. With an extensive history of experimenting with various concealers, I can confidently declare Tarte Shape Tape as my unrivaled favorite, suitable for every season. Its formula, though thick, possesses an uncanny ability to avoid creasing while eschewing the undesired powdery finish that often plagues other products. And the best part? It’s a versatile solution that accommodates all skin types.
This concealer is more than just a cover-up; it’s a potent tool to mask redness, obscure dark spots, and even stand in as a foundation when time is of the essence or the foundation happens to be left behind. Speaking from personal experience, I’ve employed it during my time in the Philippines, where the blistering heat reached an astounding 109 degrees Fahrenheit. Remarkably, even amidst my profuse sweating, my under-eye area remained pristine and blemish-free throughout the day.
The beauty of Tarte Shape Tape doesn’t stop at its exceptional performance. It’s a reliable companion that stands the test of time, a constant amidst changing seasons and various environments. So, whether I’m battling the sweltering heat or enjoying the brisk chill, Tarte Shape Tape stands as a steadfast ally in maintaining a flawless visage.
Summer or not, the Supergoop Setting Spray has cemented its place as an essential in my beauty arsenal. It effortlessly marries makeup-setting prowess with potent sun protection, all without compromising the principles I hold dear. As the season of sun-soaked days approaches, I wholeheartedly recommend this spray to anyone seeking a seamless, cruelty-free solution to both makeup longevity and skin protection.
