5 Products to take When On A Desert Island

The most common question asked among beauty lovers if you were on a desert island is what 5 beauty products you could never see yourself parting from? I can assure you if you were on a desert island how you look is probably the least of your worries, but in a fantasy world, being on a desert island with your favorite 5 organic beauty products could be a good thing when you’re having fun.

Lip Balm – Chances are major sun and wind exposure would dry out your lips, leave them cracked and begging for moisture. Your lips would appreciate the moisture and hydration from a lip balm. Desert or not, your lips will thank you. Try Pangea Organics Egyptian Fennel with Grapefruit & Sweet Orange Lip Balm. The Shea butter helps to cut irritation and gives light sun protection, while sweet orange and grapefruit essential oils provide extra vitamins and an anti-oxidant boost. For vanilla lovers,try Inara Organics Babassu Lip Balm, the melting point of babassu oil is close to body temperature, so it absorbs rapidly without leaving any shine on the skin.

Hand and Body Lotion - Without body and hand lotion, our skin can get dry, itchy and irritated. For those who have severely dry skin, this could be more uncomfortable. Skin that’s healthy and moisturized and protect is one less thing to worry about. Try Pangea Organics Pyrenees Lavender with Cardamom Lotion moisturizes both normal and dry skin with it’s one of a kind stress relieving scent. Or try Weleda Mallow Body Lotion for those with extra sensitive dry skin – its anti-inflammatory and completely natural formula is ideal for skin that needs extra attention.

Hand Cream – Frequent hand washing is the culprit of dry hands, and hand cream is the best solution. Especially if being in the desert means spending a lot of time outdoors; hand cream after washing is an essential. And hey, we all know sand is a great exfoliator so mix it in with your hand cream once a week for baby soft hands! Try Suzanne aux bains Nourishing Hand Cream for constantly smooth, soft, and supple hands. Or try Weleda Sea Buckthorn Hand Cream, its vitamin filled formula hydrates and locks in moisture with its citrusy scent.

Bar soap – Even when you’re on a desert it’s a good idea to stay clean. An indulging thick bar of soap that will last you a long while will make you enjoy staying clean. Moisturizing bars like Weleda’s Rosemary Bar Soap can help dry skin stay hydrated. For skin that’s ultra sensitive, try Suki’s Organic Sensitive Cleansing Bar made with palm oil and suitable for all skin types. You can also use it to remove makeup.

Sunscreen – Last but not least, sunscreen is absolutely necessary. Time outside equals lots of sun exposure and that means skin damage. You’ll want to bring sunscreen by the truck loads, a hat and a clothing wrap for maximum sun protection. By the time we are safely rescued we don’t want to have to deal with skin cancer! Try Badgers SPF30 for Face & Body Sunscreen for double duty protection. Or try Soleo Organics SPF30 Sunscreen, it has a neutral scent and no added fragrance.

Given that you don’t hear too many of your friends disappearing off to a desert island often, hopefully you won’t need to use this list any time soon. But hey, better safe than sorry right?
