Our Skin Tips — Straight from Our Customers

There’s something pretty special about hearing from customers who’ve found creative new ways to use our products. Sure, we formulate them with intention and care—but every so often, someone surprises us by showing just how versatile nature’s ingredients can be. We’ve come to realize that our community is full of innovators, experimenters, and problem solvers who remind us why we love what we do.

Here are a few of our favorite customer stories—real people, real moments, and real “aha!” discoveries.

Jill’s Hair Secret (That Isn’t a Pomade)

Jill had been searching everywhere for a natural pomade—something that could tame her short hair without leaving it stiff, greasy, or dry. Nothing worked quite right. One morning, as she was applying her Simple Body Face Cream, she noticed how rich yet light the texture was and thought, “What if…?” She rubbed a tiny bit between her palms and ran it through her hair. The result? Perfect texture, natural hold, and soft hair that didn’t feel coated or crunchy.

She laughs now that her “pomade” came from her skincare shelf—but she still swears by it to this day.

Christine’s Beachside Save

Christine took her family to Florida for a long-awaited beach vacation. After hours in the sun, her kids came back to the room with that unmistakable pink glow—yep, sunburn. Unfortunately, every store nearby had already closed, and she couldn’t find aloe anywhere. That’s when she remembered the Beauty Balm tucked in her bag. She slathered it on their shoulders and cheeks before bed. By morning, the sting was gone, and the redness had faded dramatically—“at least 50% better,” she told us.

She now calls Beauty Balm her “beach day insurance” and never travels without it.

Kent’s On-the-Go Fix

Kent was traveling through a tropical climate when he developed an itchy rash on his leg—one of those things that shows up when it’s hot and humid and you’re miles from your usual stash of skincare. The only product he had with him? Simple Body Deodorant. Desperate, he applied a thin layer, and to his surprise, the itch calmed almost instantly. Within a day, the rash cleared up.

Now he jokes that our deodorant “doesn’t just stop sweat—it’s a skin hero in disguise.”

Marie’s Esthetician Epiphany

Marie, a licensed esthetician, was performing gua sha treatments and had been using a professional facial oil made specifically for the technique. But she noticed it sometimes left a film on her clients’ skin and didn’t absorb well. On a whim, she grabbed her bottle of Nightly Face Serum instead. The results were immediate—the serum glided beautifully, absorbed evenly, and left skin dewy, not greasy.

Her clients noticed the difference too, and she’s never gone back. “It’s the perfect blend of glide and nourishment,” she told us.

The Scent That Doubles as Perfume

We’ve lost count of how many customers have shared this one: when they use Himalayan Magic Body Butter, they skip perfume entirely. The warm, comforting scent lingers on the skin all day long, and they say friends and family often ask what fragrance they’re wearing.

It’s proof that when botanicals do their job beautifully, you don’t need anything extra—they’re their own little luxury.

Troy’s Gym Hack

And then there’s Troy. A regular at his local gym, he kept breaking out on his back—something a lot of active people deal with. One day, after a workout, he realized he’d forgotten his wipes. He had a bottle of Clean Sweep in his bag (normally for his face) and decided to use it to wipe down the gym equipment before and after his sets. Within weeks, his back acne was noticeably improved. Coincidence? We don’t think so.

Why We Love Stories Like These

We always say we love products that do double duty—and our customers prove it every single day. These stories remind us that skincare isn’t just about routines or rules. It’s about resourcefulness, curiosity, and the beautiful little surprises that happen when you listen to your skin (and sometimes your hair, too).

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your stories with us!!! If you’ve found a creative or unexpected way to use your Simple Body favorites, we’d love to hear it. Share your story with us—we just might feature you next.
