Swap Out Gradual Tanning Lotions-
Perfect for beginners and those worried about tanning mishaps, this Eco Tan Winter Skin gradual sunless tanner allows you to build a sun-kissed glow as deep as you desire by simply applying additional coats on different days. Made with certified organic and natural ingredients sourced from Mother Nature, it contains no artificial or synthetic ingredients, ensuring no stained clothes or sheets—a major win for any fake tan enthusiast. This is the perfect swap for something like Jergen’s Gradual Tanning Lotion as you will still get a gorgeous new glow but without the synthetic fragrance, silicones and Phenoxyethanol, no thank you ma’am!
For those wanting a more pigmented, flawless tan I have been loving the Eco Tan Cacao Tanning Mousse. This color-correcting formula is perfect for both face and body, whether you want a subtle warmth or a deep, dark tan. Eco Tan’s sunless tanning mousse provides a luxurious deep, earthy bronze tone without any stickiness. It dries instantly, smells amazing, and ensures a natural, long-lasting color that never looks orange. Free from artificial dyes, synthetic ingredients, and chemical smells, this lightweight formula glides effortlessly over your skin, offering a beautiful, natural tan.
Swap Out Bronzers-
I am a bronzer girly so whenever I find a new bronzer that I LOVE, I have to share! This INIKA Organic Baked Mineral Bronzer in Sunkissed is a 100% natural, lightweight, and long-wearing bronzer that enhances your summer glow with its blendable and buildable formula. Enriched with Magnolia Bark extract for anti-inflammatory benefits and Olive-derived Squalane for hydration, it also includes Sugar Cane to boost moisture retention. The Sunkissed is great for lighter complexions and those seeking a bit more umph can try the one I use, the Sunbeam as it is truly the most stunning, rich bronze shade. These bronzers remind me a lot of the Hourglass Bronzers but a LOT cleaner as those contain various silicones which can clog the pores, especially in warmer months, Phenoxyethanol, and petroleum-derived Lake Dyes!
Swap Out Hair Masks-
Because let’s face it, Summer can do a number on our hair, nothing beats a moisturizing hair mask to try to undo as much of the damage as possible, but, most hair masks these days are full of toxic ingredients that do more harm than help! Pamper your tresses with the Jordan Seban Le Masque Hair Mask, the ultimate solution for dry summer hair. This luxurious deep conditioning treatment penetrates deeply to provide complete nutrition and protection against future damage. Infused with Rose Water for its conditioning properties, Vitamin B5, silk proteins for strength, and Jojoba and Coconut oils for intense moisture, this creamy mask leaves hair incredibly soft without weighing it down. It’s like a drink of water for parched, sun soaked hair. This is a great dupe for the K18 Repair Hair Mask that so many love as you will get all of the good benefits but without the Polysorbates, hormone-disrupting fragrances and Phenoxyethanol!
Swap Out Bronzing Drops-
Want to look like you’ve been on vacation without spending hours in the sun? Achieve a radiant summer glow with the Suntegrity Staycation Bronzing Shimmer Serum Drops which can be added to bare skin or your favorite lotions or foundations! This antioxidant-rich, golden bronze shimmer serum is infused with organic oils (jojoba, sunflower, babassu, hibiscus, apricot) and plant extracts (Gotu Kola & Licorice Root) to keep your skin moisturized, supple, and nourished. A touch of this delightful, exotically scented serum instantly gives your skin a luminous, sun-kissed glow without an overly glittery finish. I used to love the Westman Atelier Illuminator Drops for this same use, but because of the synthetic fragrance, I had to give them up. Try the above, cleaner dupe instead!
Swap Out Lip Serum–
I don’t know about you but I want as much moisture as possible on my lips right now and this INIKA Organic Lip Serum is doing exactly that. This nutrient-rich treatment provides gentle, all-day hydration, healing, and softening for supple lips. Formulated with deeply hydrating and nourishing botanical oils and extracts, this lip serum replenishes dry, flaky lips. Regenerative Rosehip Oil and Seabuckthorn extracts combine with softening Shea Butter, rich in Vitamins A and E, plus antioxidant-rich Green Tea extract and nourishing Jojoba Oil to intensively moisturize and protect your lips. Certified Organic Mandarin Orange Extract and Orange Essential Oil deliver Vitamins E and C, detoxifying and hydrating your lips. I used to love the Dior Lip Serum for similar results but will no longer use any item with synthetic fragrances, Polysorbates or cheap fillers which is why the Inika is a much better swap!
Swap Out Face Tan Water-
Amplify your clean beauty routine with Eco Tan Face Tan Water™ and enjoy a natural, radiant complexion with peace of mind. Introducing the Eco Tan Face Tan Water™ – the ultimate organic gradual self-tanner designed specifically for your face, neck, and décolletage. This globally loved product is not just a self-tanner; it’s a skincare solution that helps clear blemishes and reduce redness while delivering a flawless golden glow.
Crafted with a blend of natural, organic ingredients, this lightweight and hydrating formula is perfect for evening out blotchy complexions with gentle care. Unlike traditional self-tanners like the best-selling LUX UNFILTERED, it has no Polysorbates or Phenoxyethanol which makes it a way better dupe for you and your skin.
Swap Out Calming Supplements-

Swap Out Gut Supplements-
There are so many wellness drinks out there but most do not pass my standards which leaves me missing out on all of the fun. I have been on the prowl for something that not only can calm gut bloat but that also tastes amazing, all while being made with truly clean and Organic ingredients. Unlock optimal wellness with SuperBelly from Blume – a revolutionary tonic that harmonizes gut health and hydration. This will be your go-to tonic for enhanced gut health, hydration, and a burst of superfood goodness.

Swap Out Shimmering Body Oil-
The Tom Ford Shimmering Body Oil used to be a major fave for me during Summer, that was until I saw the ingredients! Phenoxyethanol, BHT and, of course, fragrance! There is just no need to pay $40 for a product with ingredients like than when there are cleaner super like ARTIFACT’s Dry Body Oil! This is your ultimate summer clean beauty essential for nourishing, firming, and illuminating your skin. Enjoy a radiant, nourished complexion all summer long. Infused with golden iridescent mineral particles, this shimmering body oil delivers a radiant glow and silky-smooth highlights, perfect for accentuating your décolleté and legs with none of the above yuckies!
Swap Out Deodorizing Body Spray–
Finding a body spray that does not contain synthetic fragrances, toxic gases and BHT can be hard! Thankfully for us all, I found the best dupe ever and you will not be looking back, plus, this one actually eliminates odor! Inspired by the ancient Hamam ritual of the 14th century, which purifies and cleanses the body, mind, and spirit, the Esas Hamam Deodorizing Body Spray is your modern “bath in a bottle.” Scientifically formulated with the purest non-toxic and organic ingredients, this body spray cleanses, deodorizes, and refreshes wherever you go. Ideal for on-the-go freshness, you can choose from all sorts of fun scents like Sweet Cream + Vanilla or my personal fave Gardenia + Lily!
Swap Out Post-Sun Mist–
I see so many girls using the Mario Badescu Aloe Face Spray after a day in the sun and I cannot help but cry a little inside each time considering I know that it contains Propylene Glycol as the second ingredient, Benzophenone-4, synthetic fragrance and various dyes!? Eeek! Luckily for you all here, and myself we don’t have to settle and we can actually use something that is GOOD for our skin! Say hello to your cooling, calming, and perfectly packable post-sun secret with Om Organics Skincare Post-Sun Mist. While pre-sun skincare often gets all the attention, this refreshing and restorative mist ensures your skin gets the care it needs after exposure. Formulated with aloe vera, peppermint water, and coconut water, it soothes and rehydrates skin that’s been overexposed to heat or wind, providing a cool and replenishing drink for your skin. Perfect for both face and body, and even loved by kids, it’s a must-have for your beach bag.
Swap Out Illuminating Facial SPF-
I personally LOVE a glowy facial SPF but what I do not love are the ingredients found in most! Even the Supergroup Glow Screen contains chemical SPF like Avobenzone, Octisalate and Octocrylene, alongside silicones and Crosspolymers. So, what am I using instead? I can now glow, correct, and protect with the RMS Beauty SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Serum, the ultimate clean beauty solution for radiant skin. This mineral-based daily sunscreen serum provides SPF 30 broad spectrum protection, evens skin tone, and boosts radiance. Infused with a hint of tint and soft-focus technology, it offers natural-looking illumination and corrects imperfections. Non-nano zinc oxide shields your skin from the sun’s damaging rays, while GlowPlex™, a blend of natural peptides including Quinoa Seed Extract, Niacinamide, and Pea Extract, smooths and enhances skin radiance instantly and over time. This stuff is truly the prettiest EVER, your skin will look like it has a permanent filter on. I wear the shade LIGHT.
