Good Medicine: My Picks for glowy skin
I was immediately intrigued by Good Medicine because their artisan clean beauty line is formulated with botanicals that thrive in the wild Southwest desert. The desert has a beauty of its own, but who knew that its plants could also help make our skin glow and feel nourished?
Handcrafted in small batches in their lab in Utah, Good Medicine creates luxurious skincare products with potent desert plants, healing botanicals, essential oils, and purifying desert sand. Their Intuitive Facial Formula Collection makes my skincare routine feel like an at-home spa experience, and I’ve started noticing that my complexion appears brighter and more youthful. Each product feels unique and their earthy ingredients deliver a healthy dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and essential minerals to my skin.

To be fully transparent, these travel-size products and the Ashes cleansing grains were kindly *gifted* to me by Good Medicine. To prepare for this post, I consistently tried each product for several weeks first so that I can authentically share my honest impressions and thoughts with you today. Keep scrollin’!
ASHES REINCARNATION CLEANSING GRAINS
What does it help with? // Fade age spots and discoloration, renews a healthy glow, promotes cell turnover, treats acne, protects from free radical damage, calms skin, and reduces inflammation.
This is my top pick. I’m a huge fan of products that are versatile and effective. ASHES’ primary use is for cleansing your face, but it can also be a scalp treatment, or mixed in with other products to create a face mask! When the cleansing grain powder is mixed with water, vitamin C is activated and the powder bursts and bubbles before becoming a silky liquid. I felt a warm, tingling sensation (which is normal), and I let the product rest of my skin for a moment before rinsing. I have combination/30-something-year-old skin, and it can look dull at times. But this products makes my skin look noticeably brighter and luminous. Also. I usually get hormonal breakouts each month but since using this line, I haven’t broken out!
Ingredients include: powdered potato, organic essential oil blend (Juniper berry, cedarwood, lime, fir, geranium, vetiver), citric acid, milk, sugar, trace minerals,
ELECTRIC SKY UNIVERSAL ELIXIR
What does it help with? // Increases cellular function, increase circulation, reduces acne and inflammation, lifts dark under-eye circles. diminish fine lines, even out skin tone.
Their most unique product. I was immediately intrigued by the Electric Sky Universal Elixir because I heard that its scent is powerful, like how the air smells after lightening strikes the earth. I’m still getting used to the scent, BUT the product is unlike any other facial serum I’ve used before. Loading with activated oxygen, hemp seed oil, and prickly pear, this formula helps make my skin look noticeably luminous and healthy after each use – even with just a few drops! It’s effective and beautiful on my skin. I’ve also noticed less breakouts.
The only thing to call out is the strong smell… others may notice it (aka your husband) so something to consider! They have travel size if you want to try it out first!
HONEY BEE REVELATION MASK
What does it help with? // This vitamin and mineral-rich formula clears and evens out skin tone, smooths fine lines, firms, deeply hydrates and softens skin.
A mask for hydrated and soft skin. Due to one previous bad experience with another brand’s honey mask, I was nervous to try this! My skin can be sensitive, but this product was gentle and soothing (perfect for a night of pampering)! Formulated with wild raw honey, apple pectin, aloe, essential oils, and juniper berries, this gorgeous mask feels incredibly nourishing and hydrating. Another glowy-skincare essential. The consistently feels rich and luxurious, wasn’t too sticky, and easily rinses off.
Tip: Mix with the Ashes Reincarnation Cleaning Grains for an extra healing 20-minute mask.
SMUDGE SPIRITED DETOX MASK
What does it help with? // This mask is formulated with activated charcoal, Spirulina, and tomato to help transform troubled skin into healthy, glowing skin.
A 3 minute mask that delivers visible results. I was really impressed by the effectiveness of this mask (my skin glowed immediately after!). When I mix the power with water, it gently fizzes and creates a bubbly, fluid texture. When smoothed over my face I feel a warm and tingly sensation as the active ingredients work to transform your skin.
Tip: You don’t need a ton of water. Try mixing the product in a small bowl first before applying to your face! The tingly sensation is temporary and adding more water helps lessen it.
HONEY DEW YOUTH NECTAR
What does it help with? // This beautiful serum delivers vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for healthy, bright, and glowing skin.
A serum for luminous skin. Formulated with cucumber, wild honey, prickly pear, and other earthy ingredients, this serum visibly hydrates and firms my skin. It feels smooth and contains anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, discolorations, and blemishes. Every girl needs a good serum in their skincare routine.
LOMI LOMI LUSCIOUS BODY OIL
What does it help with? // Hydrates, moisturizes, and is oh-so-relaxing
A body oil for silky skin. I was skeptical of body oils at first because I assumed they’d be sticky and messy. Formulated with magnolia flowers and coconut oil, my skin smells and feels pampered, silky, and beautiful after each use. Best used after a warm shower (while skin is still damp. Another self-care essential to keep your body hydrated and feeling silky soft.
