It’s super cheap (only $3.99!) and feels amazing on your skin in the mornings or on a hot day. It smells absolutely divine and is sure to be in your bag at all times from now on.

When you wake up and don’t have enough time to shower but your hair is a greasy mess, this is the product for you. This is one of the most affordable dry shampoos I have found on the market. At only $4.99, getting your dry shampoo from Trader Joe’s is the move you need to make. It’s a smaller bottle made to take with you and it’s non-aerosol. All you need to do is apply to your hair, leave on for a few seconds to absorb the oils and massage it throughout to get a just showered look!

A gel moisturizer can be extremely pricey for one that really works on your skin. A lighter formula than in cream moisturizers, Trader Joe’s gel moisturizer contains aloe leaf juice and green tea alongside sodium hyaluronate, which keeps in your skin’s moisturizer without making it greasy. You really can’t find a product that is similar to any high-end brand on the shelves like this one, it works that well. Did I mention it’s also only $8.99? Go get some now.

If you are the kind of person who uses a lot of heat on your hair or has color processed it one too many times, this one is for you. Hair oils can restore the bonds in your hair so you can get rid of flyaways and damaged ends. It helps your hair lock in the moisture that is so dearly craved and is sulfate-free so you won’t further hurt your hair in the long run.

One of Trader Joe’s most loved products since it launched in 2002, this exfoliant bar is incredible. Trader Joe’s literally has this soap made in France because apparently, France makes the best soap out there. Naturally, that makes it long-lasting and will not deteriorate sitting in your shower like most bars of soap do. The gentle exfoliating bar is super good for your skin and will leave you smelling absolutely amazing.

Trader Joe’s is back at it again with another product that could be purchased from a designer brand for $50, but at a fraction of that price. More and more companies are incorporating blueberry into their facial scrubs due to the AHA’s in them that makes for an effective exfoliant. By using this scrub, you’re getting rid of all the dirt and toxins building up in your pores from the sweat and makeup. Make sure to sunscreen up afterward because AHA’s can leave your skin sensitive to the sun.

A gel-cream is something that I had never heard of before researching this product. It’s a perfect nourishing body moisturizer that gives you the benefits that a cream moisturizer and a gel moisturizer would. Similar to products such as CeraVe, this gel cream is fragrance-free so it won’t cause any reactions either. It’s a quick-absorbing moisturizer that you will fall in love with instantly.

If you need a quick hydrating mask to keep in your bag that actually works, this one from Trader Joe’s is perfect. Soaked in extracts such as green tea, rose, turmeric and chamomile, this mask is the perfect skin refresher to keep you glowing. Something like sheet masks can be really good for a little spa basket gift as well, so you can never go wrong with buying one. It’s a super simple face mask for those who don’t want to wash anything off and don’t have a lot of time on their hands.
