The Shelfie Series: with Rachael Gildersleeve

One of the VERY first things I did post moving in to my new place was set up ALLLL my skin care. Being able to do my morning and night routines kept me sane during the entire moving process! These are the products that will come with me forever and ever.

If your shelf could only hold five products, which ones survive the cut and why those?

1. Tuel Cleansing Duo - my favorite form of self care. An intentional moment to slow down, breathe, and love on my skin. A cleansing oil that goes deep into the pores, drawing out dirt and pollutants. Paired with an herbal toner, making the oil water-soluble, to thoroughly cleanse, gently exfoliate, and fully rinse off the skin. My skin has never felt better!
2. Mu Juice - the product that single-handedly changed my skin! As a dry, mountain climbing, desert girlie my skin DRINKS this up all year round. Hydrating, nourishing, healing and allows all my other skin care products work even betta! One pump for my face, neck, and chest - always using what's left on my hands and cuticles, for a lil extra love.
3. Tuel C Power - a must have in my morning skin care routine! Vitamin C does so much for us - brightens, fights aging, and protects our skin from environmental damage. Need I say more!?
4. Colorescience No Show - I've been an avid Colorescience user for years and their No Show mineral sunscreen has only recently become the SPF I gravitate towards almost every morning. There's something about seeing my skin with no tint, no coverage, that has made my soul beam!
5. Activist Manuka Honey Immune Elixir - the ultimate immune supporter! Once a day or up to 3 times a day when I'm feeling a little extra run down. This one has saved me from actually getting sick more times than I can count!

Which product elevates the entire shelf just by being there? Aesthetic presence alone.

Anything Tuel! Their Cleansing Duo, Hydrate Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and C Power are staples in my routine. Plus their beautiful glass bottles make my skincare ritual feel extra luxurious and special every time I use them.

What product earns you the most compliments?

Probably the Colorescience color balms! I've been getting so many questions on what I have on my skin for makeup and these are my makeup, nothing else. I use the Bronze for warmth and Savanna for a peachy rose tint on my cheeks. Makeup and sun protection!? SAY LESS!
