Sacheu Stainless Steel Gua Sha
This is so worth the purchase! I’ve used jade rollers and other gua sha tools, and this is the best ever. It is super smooth, stays cool, and feels dreamy on the skin. It fits perfectly in the hand, and has a nice weight which helps apply just the right about of pressure during use. The stainless steel material is easy to clean and disinfect. It should last forever!
My first try was on myself, and it was easy to use and I saw immediate changes. My skin looked taut and fresh. I have also incorporated this into my facial services, and now end facials with the gua sha following application of a serum. My clients LOVE it! Every single one has asked what that tool is, and fell into facial bliss during the massage. Very pampering. I’ll be getting another one to have at home and at the spa.

Acne Control Body Mist
I love this product, because it is specifically formulated for body acne! It has a higher percentage of salicylic acid than most toners designed for the face, which will allow it to penetrate and work on the tougher skin on the chest and back. And, the sprayer is continuous even with the bottle held upside down! Your hand won’t get exhausted pumping on the larger areas of the body. Just press and spray! Allantoin, glycerin, and licorice root nourish and soothe the skin to prevent dryness and irritation. Use after showering or bathing if you are acne prone. Also, a spritz following sports or workout can prevent pore congestion before you are able to shower. This can even provide antibacterial support for maskne. Just spritz your mask and let it dry for a quick refresh during the day. I would also suggest this product to clients who suffer from ingrown hairs following hair removal. Just apply carefully in the Brazilian area! Spritz a cotton ball or pad, and apply to the bikini line and pubic mound, avoiding the more sensitive inner parts.
Diamond Contour Lifting Rose Quartz Neck Serum
Kaplan MD Diamond Contour Lifting Rose Quartz Neck Serum is a fun product worth adding to your skincare regimen. It is a great 2-in-1 product + application technique. The light and smooth serum delicately emerges from the tube onto the rose quartz roller. Then the rose quartz roller glides over the skin to distribute and infuse the serum into the skin. The roller is a cooling delight to the skin providing a circulation boost and lymphatic drainage in the delicate neck area. The small design of the roller and tube fit and float perfectly along what can be an awkward location on the throat. I recommend this product for anyone who is looking for anti-aging specific to the neck. The finish is powdery smooth, and be sure to finish with your favorite moisturizer for extra hydration! It has a little more of a fragrance that I prefer, but I really don’t notice it when used below the chin.
Acca Kappa Hair Brush
This brush is heaven in your hand. Not only does the wood feel glorious, but the grip is perfect. The handle is solid without being heavy or bulky. And the finish, is glossy and smooth, just like I want my hair to be ;) After how it feels in your hand, you’ll notice how it feels on your head…just like a soothing head massage! It is the best. It glides through hair beautifully. Mine is fine and fairly thin, so there is a little detangling on first pass.
Brush your hair 100 strokes at bedtime for healthy hair. Does anyone remember this advice? Well, this is exactly the type of brush you should use if you want to find out. My hair is wavy and pourous, and I typically don’t ever brush my hair. After using this for about a week now, my hair is way less frizzy, and my curls are more pronounced.
I love how this brush feels so much, that I bought one as a gift for my mom! Highly recommended.

Runway Hair Reconstructing Hair Mask
This is the first hair mask I’ve ever used (besides some DIY deep conditioning with olive oil or mayo). I was really worried about weighing down my fine, thin hair. Here’s what convinced me to try it, the scent of this mask. It is euphoric! It is difficult to describe, and is listed as essential oil blend, but I definitely get some clove and something sweet. I want it for all of my at home spa days! With that little surprise, I was eager to slather it on.
I love that the product is formulated to nourish both the hair and scalp. Unique ingredients like Rahua Oil, Baobab Oil, and Bacuri Butter really penetrate the hair. Some results include securing color pigment, increasing hair growth and increasing collagen production!
I did not allow enough time for a full 20-30 minute treatment, rinsed out in the shower after about 10 minutes, and still noticed great results on my hair. I started with a clarifying shampoo that day, and was grateful to replenish nutrients on my hair as a follow up to that. I am looking forward to leaving it in longer and using pre-poo for round 2!
Bonus: This product is by a minority owned business, with a genuine, authentic purpose that is still in the early stages of formation! Their philosophy includes creating products that nourish not harm the body. These ladies are product gurus, and I’ll be trying other products soon!

Hemp Avocado Hair Serum
This serum is both lightweight and substantial at the same time! Not sure how they accomplished that, but it is, and it is great on the hair. A little goes a long way, and I’m looking forward to using this more over time to see fabulous hair results. I haven’t yet tried on dry hair for touch ups, but I imagine it will be great. The serum smooths right onto the hair, leaving it very silky. Traditionally, I go for silicone serums, and I’ve been trying non-silicone options. This one feels similar to my old favorite, but without the silicone!
My hair looks and feels healthier since switching to the Leaf Legacy products, so I’m a fan of the FiberHance technology. It rebuilds the hair bonds that break from chemical processing and heat styling. Looking forward to see long term results!

Hemp Avocado Shampoo
Great shampoo, especially at this price point! You are getting exceptional quality and performance.
My hair: fine, thin, damaged, wavy
The product: good consistency, lathers and spreads through hair nicely, the scent has citrus notes that feels a little masculine to me (it is reminiscent of a men’s cologne from long ago) and stronger than I prefer
The results: healthy looking, smooth hair
I waffle between leaving my hair naturally wavy, heat styling straight, and heat styling curls. Using this line of shampoo and conditioner allows my hair to blow dry straight and smooth quite easily. No need for major brushing and pulling smooth. Caution, this may not be for curly/wavy girls. My curls don’t seem to pop using this product, but I’m ok with that for now. I’m enjoying the smooth hair.

Hemp Avocado Hair Masque
OMG! I just used this hair mask, and my hair felt thicker right out of the shower. And, I had major volume after blow drying! This is unusual for my thin, fine hair, and I’m always trying for more volume. I was worried that a thick mask would weigh my hair, but it was the exact opposite.
The texture of this mask is like a slightly whipped paste. Definitely not sticky like a pomade, but thick like that. I used a dollop about the size of a walnut. It spreads evenly throughout the hair without clumping. It rinses out easily after left in for about 3 minutes.
There seems to be very little fragrance added to this one. It does not smell like the rest of the line. The scent is very natural, almost like an unscented candle.
I will definitely be working this into my weekly routine and recommend that you try it!
