Never Shower Alone! | Goop

There are few luxuries as reliably delightful as taking a shower on a hot day (after a workout, a swim, some sun, a major grilling session, or just a long day in a conference room). Being naked in water is one of those elemental pleasures that’s hard to improve upon, but add in aromatic plant essences, natural clays, super-moisturizing oils, a quick dry brush, and a skin perfecting mask, and the whole situation edges into serious treat-yourself territory. Here, our picks for a powerful—if only momentary—vacation from stress.

• goop by Juice Beauty
  Exfoliating Instant Facial goop, $125

  The Exfoliating Instant Facial

  instantly brightens and softens skin to reveal a glowing,
  smoother-looking complexion. Natural alpha and beta hydroxy acids sweep away dead skin cells; and plant-based cellulose beads exfoliate further, while releasing soothing vitamin B5, leaving skin supple, soft, and utterly revitalized. The Exfoliating Instant Facial is formulated with USDA-certified organic
  ingredients and contains approximately 86% total
  organic content.

• Shiva Rose
  Sea Siren Body Scrub goop, $65

  For the most moisturizing, skin-
  silkening shower pretty much ever, this body-butter scrub is made with

  mineral-rich blue-green algae that’s wild harvested from the
  Cascade Falls in the mountains of Oregon. The algae—full of
  enzymes, vitamins, chlorophyll, amino acids, and fatty acids that feed your skin—is blended with rich butters and oils that hydrate and smooth skin like crazy. It smells gorgeously of lemongrass,
  an essential oil said to transform negativity, protect auric fields, and build courage, positivity, and psychic abilities. You’ll step
  out of the shower fully moisturized, faintly scented, and
  seriously radiant.

• Plant Apothecary
  Get It On Bodywash goop, $18

  Made with organic sandalwood, ginger, and cedar essential oils—all considered aphrodisiacs—this honey-like wash is ideal for a bubble bath or shower to get you (and your partner) in the mood. Made of only nine pure ingredients, it’s blessedly gentle enough for sensitive skin.

• Naturopathica
  Daily UV Defense Cream SPF 50 goop, $58

  Sleek and softly, subtly matte, this daily moisturizer is super-charged with sun
  protection—a full, nontoxic (to people and to coral) SPF 50 that sinks in so easily. Amazing on its own, over makeup, on the backs of your hands…we keep one in the

  makeup bag and one in the glove compartment for emergency
  sun situations.

• True Botanicals
  Nourishing Shampoo
  & Conditioner goop, $68

  A combination of 28 plant, fruit, and flower oils and butters, this
  multipurpose, semi-solid oil smells faintly of Monoi (Tahitian

  gardenias soaked in coconut oil) and moisturizes skin like
  nothing else. Lighter than a typical body butter, longer-lasting than a moisturizer, it’s made with a high percentage of jojoba oil—not technically an oil, but a polyunsaturated liquid wax
  similar to human sebum, plus rosehip, hemp, meadowfoam, and rice bran oils, all of which are high in omega and essential fatty acids. Antioxidant avocado, grapeseed, mango, and pumpkin seed butter, plus kukui nut oil protects the skin, while chamomile and calendula calm.

• UMA
  Nourishing Hair Oil goop, $70

  For shinier, bouncier, and all-around healthier hair, this all-in-one healing blend of hibiscus, yerba de tago, Indian
  gooseberry, jojoba, moringa, and
  grapeseed oil is infused with lemon and

  grapefruit extract to cleanse the scalp, stimulate hair follicles, and promote healthy hair growth. The best part: Though it
  penetrates deeply and saturates hair with essential moisture, it doesn’t weigh it down. Apply 5-7 drops of this restorative
  solution directly to the roots, either as an overnight treatment, or for about 15-20 minutes before you shampoo. Bonus: It’s
  totally safe for color-treated hair, too.

• May Lindstrom
  The Honey Mud goop, $90

  This clay, plant oil, and raw honey
  concoction smells… beyond delicious. It’s also kind of the richest, most

  major daily cleansing experience we can think of, especially
  when applied with the brand’s facial treatment brush–it gets rids of every trace of dirt and leaves skin baby-smooth. Good for all
  skin types.

• Aquis
  Lisse Luxe Hair Towel goop, $30

  For more shine and overall healthier hair, less frizz, breakage and damage,

  plus a speeded-up drying routine, this light, easy towel is an
  amazing solution. Super-absorbent and soft to the touch, the Aquis will change the way you dry your hair—and seriously reduce frizz, not to mention overall damage, in the bargain. Regular towels tend to be rough on hair; while this one is ultra-gentle, it also dries it faster. Wrap it at your hairline, tuck the ends in, and let it soak up the extra moisture for shinier, softer, frizz-free, beautiful results.

• Shower Clear
  The Original
  Chrome Shower Head goop, $275

  This new detox essential is easy to
  install in your shower, and it solves a problem you might not have been

  aware you had: Over time, most shower heads accumulate all sorts of unpleasantness, from bacteria to mold. Shower Clear’s shower heads pop open and dry naturally after a shower, so they never develop mold or other toxins (they’re also incredibly easy to clean). Crafted of substantial, luxurious metals, the clean design works miraculously with any style bathroom, and makes an incredible-feeling spray, too—it’s a major upgrade to any
  shower—and a must for healthy living.

• The Organic Pharmacy
  Skin Brush goop, $15

  This genius, long-handled
  natural-bristle brush allows you

  to thoroughly dry-brush every part of your body—especially your back, which feels particularly amazing (and is uniquely hard-to-reach). It’s also the perfect balance of soft and firm,
  designed to gently exfoliate, improve circulation, condition skin, and boost the lymphatic system. Brilliant for detoxing, and
  equally brilliant for everyday skin-smoothing and generating immune support.
