Power Couples: 1-Ingredient Packet Edition

 

So you wanna know how to amp up our single ingredient packets? SWEET. That’s really our favorite thing to hear. Below are some super easy ways to pair them up and get even more bang for your (very few) buck(s).

 

Shea + Jojoba = Maximum Moisture

 

If you want a full body dose, mix the full contents of both packets in a bowl, and scoop a small amount at a time until you’re all the way moisturized head to toe. For face only, just squeeze a small amount of each into the palm of your hand, massage your hands together to mix, then apply. Let it soak in if you’re super dry or towel off excess if your skin is more combination or oily. (This doubles as an amazing makeup remover!)

Come out of Hibernation with These Three S. Dubs Products

After a serious pump fake (read: global warming glitch) in February, it looks like spring is finally making its appearance on the East coast. And if you’ve spent the last 3+ months hibernating, the new season is the perfect reason to finally get outside and do something beyond ducking into your favorite restaurant. With the lighter temperatures and warmer days, spring makes even the most sloth-like of us suddenly feel like lean whippets, ready for adventure and that proverbial ball chase.

Our New Tube Creams – What’s Different?

Late last year, we launched our Pilot Batch Tube Creams. They were exactly what they sound like: Our best-selling shea butter Cream, packaging up in an aluminum tube, and sold on a trial, test-and-learn basis. While many of you loved them, we did gather some important feedback on how to make them even better. We took note of your recommendations, refined some elements, and we’re psyched to launch our OFFICIAL Tube Creams.

One shirt. ONE!

#SWFAQ: Our Toner

While we hate to choose favorites, our Toner is arguably one of them. Not only does it help to balance out oil production – making skin less oily and less dry – its acidic nature assists in regulating the skin’s own pH, resulting in less blemishes and a more even-toned complexion. And while we may be biased, we kinda think you guys feel the same way, too – for the most part…
