best trader joe's products

I’m a Trader Ho for a reason, and it’s because of my undying-epic-quest-kind-of love for Trader Joe’s bevy of beauty products. They’re natural, high-quality, cruelty free, and cheap AF! 

Here are 10 products I swear by and you should too:

Formula No.3

This three-in-one formula works as a body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. While I only use it for its body washing capabilities, I can attest to its great smell and gentleness on my sensitive skin. If you’re trying to cut back on beauty costs a 3-in-1 product is a great low-cost option for you!

trader joe’s body scrubs

If I didn’t know better I would exfoliate myself into an exoskeleton, and this stuff could do the job! It smells amazing and works wonders at both sloughing off dead skin and keeping any post-wax ingrown hairs at bay.

A Midsummer Night’s Cream

This super rich and thick moisturizer is my favorite. I’m prone to dry skin and it does wonders for my knees and elbows.

Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Mask

I use this as my everyday conditioner (though I only actually wash my hair once a week). It’s salon-quality goodness at a low-level price. 

Shea Butter & Coconut Oil Hair Serum

Also a great product! I always use this post-shower.

All-in-One Facial Cleanser

The bee’s knees. It prevents both my boyfriend’s breakouts and my own. I’ve even noticed less hormonal acne pre-period as a result of using it. Win-win! 

Blueberry & Acai Facial Scrub

They had me at acai. Like I mentioned, I love to exfoliate and I swear to the heavens this is the perfect scrub for sensitive skin. It also smells like a smoothie. If I were a child (or just drunk in the shower) I would 100% eat this. 

trader joe's hyaluronic serum

Hyaluronic Moisture Boost Serum

After washing my face I slather this serum all over my neck and face to lock in moisture. When you compare its price with other hyaluronic acids on the market, it’s a serious steal for some serious coverage.

Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer

Also an amazing product! I often break out from moisturizers and this one does the perfect job of hydrating my dry-ass face without making me look like a pizza. Cute, right?

Rose Facial Oil

Run, do not walk, to buy this facial oil. My current routine with these products is serum then moisturizer then oil. It locks moisture in like no one’s business and also does wonders for my hang-nail prone cuticles. Baruch hashem!
