Clinical Care Skin Solutions As a little girl, Charlotte Bates would watch her mother perform her beauty routine. Today, she takes great pride in helping others complete their own health-and-beauty routines using her brand. Bates created Clinical Care Skin Solutions more than 30 years ago. As a medical esthetician, she worked closely with a plastic surgeon and dermatologists who used her products on their patients as they witnessed their successful results—whether clearing up acne issues or hyperpigmentation following chemotherapy. The line of 29 products uses pharmaceutical-grade ingredients. The range of products includes Green Stuff, a facial cleansing gel, shaving gel, makeup remover and even a moisture masque, all in one; Calm Efx, Destroy Zit and Dry Zit, which fend off bug bites, wind burn and acne issues; and Fabufill, which takes care of fine lines, large pores and creases. The company offers an unbelievable daily deal: When a large-size product is purchased, a smaller size comes free. SRP: $35-$148 clinicalcareskinsolutions.com, 888.881.0004 Reshma Femme There's a lot of talk about "going natural" these days. Well, Reshma Femme provides one more opportunity for doing so. Rooting itself in an ancient practice, the brand provides henna direct from farms in Rajasthan, India. Considered a healthy and environmentally-friendly option for skin and hair, henna is produced from the ground-up leaves of the henna plant. Reshma Henna is 100% natural and herbal; does not contain ammonia or peroxide or cause allergies; and includes only naturally-derived minerals and botanicals. Six colors are available: natural highlights, toffee, playful plum, raven, dark chocolate and rouge—all including gray coverage. The semi-permanent color is designed to deep condition hair and remove dandruff, and lasts four to six weeks. The kit contains the powder, oil for extra moisturizing and instructions. The family-owned business, spanning 20 years, also provides how-to videos for both its skin and hair products on its website. What's more, the product never expires.

The brand presents "daily concepts" in a collage format of inspiring news and ideas on its website. Emilio Smeke launched Daily Concepts in 2012 to create luxurious, design-driven, natural and functional bath accessories paired with regular interaction through ideas with a like-minded audience. The line is cruelty-free, and clinically, allergy and dermatologically tested with natural components, such as a cotton-based layer with nylon exfoliating loops, a built-in antimicrobial and a soy-based foam. The packaging can be placed onto shower walls via a suction cup; and the design allows for proper draining. Uniquely, the products feature a label indicator that fades when it's replacement time. The collection features Your Body Scrubber; Your Dual Body Scrubber that's dual-sided with soft and exfoliating textures; Your Stretch Wash Cloth; and Your Exfoliating Gloves.
