Here in Los Angeles, we have unique weather patterns particularly at this time of year. We go from triple digit heat for days (or weeks) at a time and then turn around with a 30 degree drop in the temperature. This was the most unique year I have seen since we have had significant humidity at times and then have very dry, low humidity periods. What’s a girl (or anyone for that matter) to do when her skin is exposed to wide swings in air conditioning, heat, and humidity? One thing is key, it’s important to take good care of your skin particularly in LA since the weather is now in the 50’s during the day and going lower at night. Being good to your skin is imperative and it’s not just your face, but your entire body that is affected by weather and seasonal changes!

Recently I had the chance to test drive two different lines – Teadora Beauty and also Naked Chicks Organics — to try scrubs and a couple of other products to see how effective they are not only for warm weather periods but also during cold spells!
I was given two products from Teadora to test drive. This is a very unique and carefully constructed line with amazing ingredients that offer lots of nurturing and nourishment to skin, face and hair!
ILLUMINANCE DUALFUNCTION SALT SCRUB TREATMENT
Packed with Teadora’s exclusive blends of powerful Amazon superfruits and anti-aging botanicals proven to bring out naturally glowing skin, this powerful scrub removes dead skin, smoothes, brightens and minimizes ingrown hair while infusing your skin with moisture, antioxidants and anti-aging botanicals. Recommended for dryer, rougher, blemish-prone skin.
The Teadora Illuminance Dual-Function Salt Scrub features our 100% natural Afternoon in the Amazon signature scent with exotic cattleya orchids, freesia and river cyclamen flowers, sparkling orange peel, savory green sage and delicate ylang-ylang blossom
Such an amazing product, this tube of what I call “wonder-scrub” is a perfect traveling companion and also is ideal to use at home. Lightly scented, it reminds one of the tropics and it feels rich and luxurious. One doesn’t need to use a lot to get the benefit of this body scrub. It isn’t overly oily or slick. I love it that it leaves my skin soft and glowing.
BRAZILIAN GLOW MULTIFUNCTION BATH AND BODY OIL $40
Give your skin a well-deserved Brazilian glow with this Amazing Amazon Rainforest Superfruit Oil!
It’s infused with the RainforestHydrationTM Elixir – a nutritious Amazon rainforest serum made with rich oils from Buriti, Brazil Nut, Babassu, Maracujá, and Rose Hip Seed plus Plant Stem Cells.

This is one amazing body oil. It’s economical because a little goes a long way. This product has me almost addicted to it. It’s so yummy on the skin that you might not need to wear fragrance. The finish is soft and leaves a lovely sheen on your skin. It is not overly oily, so less is more with this product. It is packaged in glass, so be careful handling this product. It makes for a great bath oil too!

Naked Chicks Organics product collections reminds me of taking trips to the tropics.. but you can forget your trip now and save the money to buy products from this line that will leave you with glowing skin and a relaxed attitude!
Peppy Chick Salted Orange Body Scrub — $12
Forget your trip! This creamy, Salted Coconut Orange Body Scrub is your one-way ticket to the islands — without the hit to your bank account and the freakishly HUGE bugs! Made with sea salt, a hint of coconut oil, and drenched in fresh and juicy essential oils, this fruity, dreamy, creamy concoction is loaded with skin softening surprises! This is definitely one yummy sunny treat you won’t want to miss this summer!
This is a great scrub. Typical of most salt body scrubs this comes in a jar with oil and salt/pumice mixture. It is different than most scrubs since it does not require a lot of oil and it smoothes on easily without leaving your bathroom shower or tub an oil slick that can be treacherous to navigate. This is a fun scent that works well at waking you up. The mix of the salt, coconut oil and essential oils is great and it doesn’t require huge amounts to be effective. I like that a little went a very long way on my legs. It’s very affordable and comes in a great variety of scents/flavors which makes me glad because it would make for great holiday gifts for almost anyone including moms, grandmothers, sisters and besties who most all would love something from this line.
Gritty Chick Rosemary-Mint Foot Scrub $28
Ultra-hydrating oils are smashed with Mint and Rosemary essential oils and our tri-grit blend of Pumice, purifying Dead Sea Salt, and gently exfoliating Turbinado Sugar to leave your feet feeling fresh and funk-free!
One of the things I miss about getting regular pedicures are the foot scrubs. It’s a time consuming process to get a pedicure since it’s easily an hour or more. The bonus is the soft feet and the mellow attitude you walk away with. I loved the Gritty Chick Rosemary-Mint Foot Scrub because it had a light yet invigorating scent that smelled awesome but also did the job of softening feet without getting overly oily. I like the texture of this scrub and if you miss the pedicures you got over the summer, then this will be a great product to get that will remind you how nice it is to do a pedicure at home. A little goes a long way with this foot scrub and it can be used on knees or maybe even hands. I am a fan of this product!
Surprisingly, I found everything in this review worked out really well for me. I don’t usually have good luck with body or foot scrubs due to excessive oil in the mixtures. Both Teadora Beauty and Naked Chick Organics products blew me away with products that felt like they were made for me and addressed my concerns regarding ease of application as well as how great my skin has felt since using these products.

The Brazilian body oil sounds lovely for the steam room, my favorite place to slather myself. There are several very desirable products here.
