BE WELL CLEANSING OIL

BE WELL CLEANSING OIL is a new favorite around here.

HI! Eva here 💁🏼‍♀️

Be Well Cleansing oil. Perfect for all skin types. Doesn't make me greasy! — USE CODE “DAWNANDEVA” for 10% off!

So what is this?

The Be Well Cleansing oil is “Superfood cleansing oil” that DOUBLES as a makeup remover (and great to use after working out to remove sweat thus reducing breakouts). YES YES YES!

And this is how it works: “Dirt and other impurities become trapped within the oil in our facial pores throughout the day. Oil cleansing simply attaches to impurities in the pores then acts as a vehicle to remove them while replacing the skin with fresh and clean plant oils, without drying the skin or causing excess oil build-up.” – direct from Be Well.

At first I was like…. I have oily skin, why am I using MORE OIL? But the truth is, it does not create more oil build up on your skin.

Be Well Cleansing oil. Perfect for all skin types. — Does NOT make you greasy! I swear!

This is literally perfect for every skin type!

It is made from nature’s best superfood and therefore you can literally eat this. Well…drink it…haha.

“Many brands on the market today are harsh and loaded with chemicals that strip your skin of its natural oils, thus interrupting your natural pH balance. This will cause a vicious cycle of too oily or too dry skin while the skin fights to balance. Cleansing Facial Oil will balance the skin naturally, protect it, and cause soft supple skin.”

I have been loving this as MAKEUP REMOVER because it is the most natural and gentle way to clean my skin. My favorite is the Lavender & Myrrh as seen in the pics in this post.

Be Well natural cleansing oil. Use code "dawnandeva" to save 10%! — USE CODE “DAWNANDEVA” for 10% off!

The best part is, is comes in two sizes. So you can start small and then go bigger. I have the 2oz currently and it’s lasting a LONG time because truly a little goes a long way.

HOW TO USE:

Take a quarter-sized amount into your hand & massage over the entire face (as I’ve said it’s a great makeup remover).
Use a very warm watered washcloth and place over your face for 30-60 seconds.
Then, wipe away the dirt to reveal your fresh, soothed, and clean skin.
I also like to then apply their Probiotic Facial Toner and Nourishing Face Cream after for the best results.

That’s it!

LASTLY – use code “DAWNANDEVA” to save on this product and everything else Be Well offers sitewide!

We are beyond proud & happy to be affiliates with this 100% natural skincare.

EVEN IF you don’t wear makeup, you will be amazed at how your skin feels and looks with a few drops of this. The brightness is real, and over time with consistent use, skin texture improvement will be evident!

NATURAL DEODORANT THAT WORKS!

Natural Deodorant that WORKS wasn’t something we thought we could ever find. BUT…. we found one we both really like!

Be Well Company Skincare has been something we are swooning over as of late. We are dabbling in all of their products, but one that stands out for both of us AND works is the deodorant. So much so, that it deserves its very own blog post.

YOU CAN ALSO SAVE 10% with our code “DAWNANDEVA”!

natural deodorant by BE Well that actually works!!

First things first, though, we really want to make it clear that we both have tried many natural deodorants in the past. Most do work for a few days or a week, but then we notice they just stop working. So far, Be Well has broken that record!

For simplicity sake, what we like is:

It’s all natural. So natural you could DRINK it, lol.
It smells fantastic.
It IS working after 2 weeks of use still!
Anti-bacterial and pH balancing – “inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria naturally without clogging the pores“.
- Basically – Be Well feeds the good bacteria so it over-rides the bad bacteria & therefore you don’t stink.
Repeat… it’s NATURAL! something we never thought we’d be into.
Even after all our workouts at the gym, we didn’t smell, and we were dry.

Tip – spray before getting dressed because it needs to dry! I, Dawn, made the mistake of spraying it after I got dressed and my shirt got wet & I had to change. Just my two cents! I am a little extra though and probably sprayed too much. Eva hasn’t had that problem. 🙃

THE DETAILS

From Be Well website, here is how to use:

“Give a shake before each use, spritz each clean underarm with 1-3 sprays and let dry.

Plan on using within 6 months of purchasing, remember these are fresh, active products with live probiotics

TIP please store in the refrigerator if not using right away, it will last longer

Can even be used on stinky feet!

Each 2oz bottle contains approx 420 sprays = average use of 2 sprays per pit per day, one bottle will last 105 days/3.5 months. That’s approx .09 per spray or .35 per day!

Please Note: the deodorant is clear when first made with a golden “halo” of essential oils at the top of the bottle. Shake before each use. After a month or two, your essential oils will begin to infuse the deodorant and the liquid will turn amber in color. All is well! Use as normal.“

Eva here – this is a good size bottle and the tips above are super helpful. I actually didn’t realize you can use on stinky feet, also, lol.

further instructions on how to use this product. — Some additional instructions my package came with!

To reiterate, a natural deodorant wasn’t something we were looking for, but we are SO HAPPY we are now affiliates with Be Well because their products WORK. We love the story behind them, as well. Some of you may not know this, but my (Eva) sisters have MS – so this hits home for me.

Our motto has always been we like what we like natural or not, but IF IT IS natural AND IT WORKS, then that is a TOTAL WIN!!!

So – SAVE 10% with our code “DAWNANDEVA”!

Step 1 –

Checkout first and then you can add code. Some of you have messaged us that you don’t see option to add code – just click on PLACE YOUR ORDER in step 1 below and then you are taken to step 2…
