Founded by beauty industry veteran and Ashtanga Yoga teacher Emmanuel Rey and co-founder Suzanne Dawson, YUNI is a natural beauty brand designed to enhance the Yoga practice. What I love about it is that the products are unique and are perfect for people with a busy lifestyle, who want to create relaxing beauty moments.

YUNI has introduced the first thirteen products in July 2015. All YUNI products are plant-based, non-toxic, biodegradable and compostable and contain 100% all-natural aromas.

I was sent the following products for my honest review.

YUNI No Rinse Body Cleansing Foam

YUNI Shower Sheets

Instant Shower Sheets($12 for 20 wipes) Large sheets infused with neem leaf extract and peppermint leaf essential oil immediately cleanse and deodorize for a clean, fresh feeling on the go.

I love both of these for after the gym, an outdoor adventure like camping or one hot days that you need a refresher. The shower sheets are my favorite because they have a mild scent and are cooling. The foam is a bit sticky at first, but does dry down nicely.

YUNI Active Calm Face Serum

YUNI All Purpose Body Balm

YUNI Muscle Recovery Gel

Active Calm Face Serum ($29 2 oz.) Age-defying moisture concentrate with organic buriti oil, echinacea and fair trade green tea extract restores suppleness, erases tension lines, actives, firms and sculpts the skin.

Muscle Recovery Gel ($15 3 oz. ) Roller ball applicator eases post-workout soreness and inflammation with fair trade green tea extract and arnica while peppermint provides an intense cooling sensation

I’m really enjoying the face serum. It firms my skin and gives a youthful glow. I have been using the body balm on my elbows and heels and it keeps them very soft. The recovery gel soothes and is so cool on my sore back. Love!

My Beauty Favorites — Week of September 21-27, 2015

It’s been a good week in Kansas City. A little hot, but hopefully it will cool down sometime! Fall clothes are out and I still have a new pair of boots I bought a month ago that I really want to wear!

This week in beauty I am loving a ton of stuff to keep you moisturized (because the cool weather will come sometime, right?). They include a fashionable lip balm, skin care for men, an instant face smoother, a moisturizer that evens skin texture, a luxe body lotion and a hand saver:

This week I have been taking care of the skin on my face, body, even around my toes! The products I have been loving this week are:

derma e Purifying Collection — It happens day in and day out.

What I think: I have sensitive skin and have been testing the Purifying Toner Mist ($15.50 USD) and the Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask ($19.50 USD). The mist is refreshing on the skin, but it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. The mask gently exfoliates and leaves my skin glowing!
