I LOVE skin care products! I love finding and trying new ones, but here are some of my all time FAVORITE skin care products.
1. e.l.f, Super Hydrate Moisturizer
I use this when my face looks like it needs a drink. It’s a weird, gel like consistency, but it settles super quick and gives my skin a nice hydrated look. Infused with squalene, a plant-derived oil that balances moisture and maintains elasticity. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps maintain moisture content while toning and clarifying skin tone. Vitamin E Helps nourish and moisturize the skin. Snow mushroom helps hydrate and plump the skin. Centella Asiatic (cica) helps protect, soothe, and hydrate the skin. And you can’t beat the price!
2. Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner
I seriously love Mario Badescu products! You can get them on Amazon or in Ulta and his whole line is so affordable. I never had break outs as a teen but when I hit 30 my face was a mess. I spend thousands on fancy named products and they didn’t work. A make up artist friend of mine told me about this line and BAM! Break outs gone. FOR GOOD. I mean, I’m human so I do get the occasional blemish here and there (and at this point we have all suffered from Mascne). I use this every morning after washing my face (I have 2 go-to face cleansers, Mario’s being one of them).
This helps soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles while smoothing the skin with the anti-aging ingredients found in our Glycolic Acid-based toner. Glycolic Acid and the Alpha Hydroxy Acid found naturally in Papaya Extract help accelerate skin cell turnover for younger-looking skin. Aloe Vera is added to soothe your complexion. Alcohol free.
3. Korean Skin Care Snail Repair Cream – Korean Moisturizer Night Cream
Ya’ll do not judge me for this until you have tried it. Yes this moisturizer is made from snail extract BUT it’s legit liquid gold. Snail extract is an old Korean skin care staple. I have gotten so many people hooked on this stuff, I swear it’s amazing. It’s good for all skin types and helps to hydrate the skin and combat fine lines and wrinkles. Just try it. You will thank me.
4.Tree of Life Retinol Serum
If you’re over 30, you need Retinol. Plain and simple. I’ve tried a few but this one I always end up coming back to. It seems to be less harsh and irritating then others. Retinol is a powerful, active skincare ingredient which has decades of use backing its effectiveness in skincare. The ingredient Retinol, however, can also cause certain skin types to become dryer if the Retinol that is applied is not paired with a powerful moisturizer. Start with using it once or twice a week until your skin gets adjusted then you can up it.
5. Biossance Squalane + Tea Tree Cleansing Gel
I love this cleanser. It’s made with tea tree to deeply purify pores, help balance skin and reduce excess surface oil. This cleansing gel removes makeup while leaving skin healthy-looking and visibly clearer. Sulfate-free, non-drying formula features squalane to boost the performance of tea tree and help keep skin feeling ultra-soft.
6. Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser
As far as I’m concerned, this is the hail grail of face cleansers! Mario, my man, again! I love love this face wash! Ever since I started using this I rarely, RARELY get any blemishes.
