Desert Island Picks

June 26, 2018

If you’re anything like us at Soapwalla, asking to pick your favorite products is like choosing your favorite restaurant - almost impossible!

We took on the desert island challenge and named the top skincare essentials we couldn’t bear to leave behind.

"Hands down, the Activated Charcoal and Petitgrain soap, Restorative Face Serum, and the Concentrated Repair Balm. They are my holy grail products! I use them together for an easy three-step routine to keep my combination skin happy. The charcoal helps with my cystic acne and leaves my face feeling nourished and clean, without drying or leaving a filmy residue. I apply the Serum and Balm in the morning and evening - especially when my dry patches come out to play - and cleanse with the soap at night. The Serum is also great for lightening acne scars, and I always keep a travel size in my bag to give me a quick midday glow.” -Allie

"If I had to choose only three, I would say the Citrus Ginger Lip Balm, Lavender Vanilla Mint Luxurious Body Oil, and The Spray. As a lip balm addict I love that we have a product that keeps your lips protected and feeling great without the constant reapplication - and it smells glorious. The body oil combines scents I never thought to put together, but man I'm happy Rachel did. It's so light and keeps my body moisturized without irritation that a moisturizer can sometimes cause after shaving. I apply while my skin is damp from the shower for best absorption. The Spray has quickly become an essential to me thanks to Allie! With all the traveling I do I can't imagine going from the city (subway!) and the country (bugs!) without it again!" -Angelica

“The Soapwalla products I carry at all times are The Spray and the Essential Facial Toning Mist. When I travel I add a Resilience Pregnant Belly Oil and a Sensitive Skin Lavender Deodorant. The Spray keeps me from getting cooties (as a hand sanitizer) and from being bitten by mozzies, while if I miss an area the Toner takes the sting away. Plus the Toner feels amazing in the summer heat as a refreshing mist. The Belly Oil is a lovely moisturizer that I use everywhere - body, face, and in my hair. The Deodorant, of course, is so people will hang out with me. :-)” -Stacey

"The Soapwalla products I can’t live without are the three Facial Toning Mists and Restorative Face Serum. I use them every morning and night, and especially when I'm flying. I also use the Activated Charcoal and Petitgrain Soap!" -Natasha

"For me, my can't-leave-home-without products are the Concentrated Repair Balm, H ydrating Facial Toner, and The Spray. I just had major surgery, so the Balm goes everywhere with me. Its calming texture is perfect for my healing scar tissue, and the nutrient-rich ingredients help with bruising and redness. The Hydrating Toner is my summer best friend - on super hot days (or on travel/beach days), I spritz my face every hour for a quick pick-me-up and reviver. The Spray is a must for me. I'm on the subway frequently, and The Spray keeps me clean and free from germs. It also freshens up my gym equipment and sandals -- win-win!" -Rachel
