Health Food Store Scores
Our Editor's spill their best beauty and wellness secrets straight from the shelves of your local health food store.
I bid farewell to dry skin the day I discovered Weleda’s Sea Buckthorn Body Oil two years ago. For maximum absorption, I use it right after the shower, while the pores are still wide open. Its slightly golden tint does wonders to one’s legs, leaving them radiant and summer-ready. Weleda's Sea Buckthorn Body Oil, $26.00, www.weleda.com —Anya Georgijevic
Rumour has it it’s good for your heart, immune system, and metabolism, but I love coconut oil because it adds bold flavour to everything from rice to stir-fries. Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, from $11.99, www.nutiva.com —Kelsey Dundon
I’ve recently become obsessed with The Simply Bar, which is a super high protein energy bar that is low in calories, vegan, gluten free, low GI, blah, blah, blah. Those things are important, of course, but I just love that it is tasty and really fills me up! The Simply Bar, $2.49 to $2.99 from Urban Fare, Whole Foods, Planet Organic, and more. www.thesimplybar.com —Alexandra Suhner Isenberg
I drink "green water" with a teaspoon of mint flavoured liquid chlorophyll (the stuff used in photosynthesis) which has a plethora of health benefits which range from healing tissue, to aiding anemia to curing bad breath! It can also be used as a natural mouthwash. —Sarah Bancroft
My children are always bringing home colds. To fend off sniffles, I load up on Sisu vitamin C. $25.89 at Noah's Natural Foods, www.sisu.com —Athena Tsavliris
I like to have a bag of superfoods on hand should I have the urge to snack on vitamin-filled veggies. Rhythm Kale Chips are crispy creations in flavours including kool ranch and mango habanero. There are no regrets after eating these chips. Rhythm Kale Chips, $6.99, www.rhythmsuperfoods.com —Jaelyn Molyneux
I first bought Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap out of curiosity after watching the film about him on Netflix, and I have to admit that I kind of love the soap, especially the fact that it lathers beautifully despite being sulphate-free. Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, $6.99, www.drbonner.com —Christine Laroche
