Captain Blankenship Organic Mermaid Dry Shampoo, $19, Amazon

This completely natural, organic dry shampoo is incredibly fragrant thanks to a blend of essential oils like rose geranium and palmarosa — and you'll feel exactly like a mermaid when wearing it. It also helps that mattifying ingredients like organic arrowroot powder, kaolin clay, and baking soda soak up excess oils on your scalp and create some beachy texture. This dry shampoo is free of parabens and sulfates and is cruelty-free. Reviewers say that it gives an incredible amount of volume to hair, too.

Hurraw! Balm, $7, Amazon

Considering how much of it you actually ingest without knowing, the lip balm you use should contain ingredients that are as close to completely natural as possible.

Reviewers say this balm gives major moisture and that the tint is super subtle but perfect for days when you want slight color coverage that's translucent and natural looking.

Your blowout will look smoother, shinier, and healthier and the cherry on top: This spray smells amazing.

SecretKey Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel, $13, Amazon

Peels can slough off dead skin cells and even have the power to unearth your most radiant complexion yet, but if you have sensitive skin, they can also bring on redness and a heaping side of irritation. This Korean beauty peeling gel is different from the rest: it's a gentler gommage-type peel that uses lemon water to absorb sebum and get rid of flakes and dead skin. Start slowly by using it once a week until your skin gets used to it. One reviewer writes: "I don't know how this stuff works... maybe unicorn tears or something? All I know is that it does! Best of all, no rough scrubs or irritation, yet it actually exfoliates better than any of the other harsh methods I've used in the past."

TruSkin Naturals Tea Tree Clear Skin Sebum, $25, Amazon

The bristles don't get clogged with makeup like a lot of other brushes, and it can be used for blending, buffing, and even contouring your face.

Baasha Large Square Paddle Brush, $16, Amazon

When it comes to choosing a brush, the world is your oyster — which is just another argument in favor of choosing this large square paddle brush, because it has incredible reviews, and it detangles and smoothes hair without pulling or damaging it.

One reviewer writes: "It's inexpensive, yet worth every penny for long, thick hair. The bristles have held up well and none have broken.
