I’ve completely revamped my skincare routine this year with new, (mostly) clean products. The results I've seen have been incredible- my skin feels amazingly smooth and looks bright and glowy. It also feels great knowing that I've eliminated a lot of harmful and toxic ingredients. Would you be interested in my day/nighttime routines with these? I can share that in some future posts if you want to see how I use them. Let’s get into the lineup!
CURRENT SKINCARE LINEUP
+ MAKEUP REMOVAL - The one product in the lineup that I’ve been using for years is the Boscia Make-Up Break-Up Cleansing Oil. This product is one of the best makeup removers I’ve used. It’s an oil so it emulsifies with water to break everything down, even stubborn eye makeup. It’s also very gentle and cleans without stripping the skin.
+ CLEANSER - During a recent Dermstore sale, I purchased the Joanna Vargas Vitamin C Face Wash. I was curious to try this out because vitamin c has a ton of great benefits for the skin. That combined with lots of other antioxidants and hyaluronic acid make this cleanser great for cleaning, brightening and plumping the skin. So far, I love the results. It leaves my skin feeling fresh without being too harsh or drying. It also smells yummy and has beautiful, sleek packaging.
+ ESSENCE - Before purchasing the Agent Nateur Holi (Water), I had never used an essence. If you're unfamiliar, it's essentially a "water like" product that you use before any other products. It helps to prep your clean, dry skin to better absorb your skincare regiment. The Holi (Water) Essence is made with Rose, Pearl and Hyaluronic Acid to help with skin texture and tone, target fine lines and wrinkles, combat dryness and so much more. After applying, I immediately notice a tightening sensation on my skin. It's also a great universal product that can be mixed with oils, moisturizers, etc.
+ VITAMIN C - Vitamin C has a plethora of positive benefits for the skin, especially when it comes to anti-aging. I've been using the Agent Nateur Holi (C) Duo. It's a unique vitamin c formula that is powder based. To activate the product, it must be mixed with a liquid. I mix with Holi (Water) but regular distilled water can also be used.
+ MOISTURIZER - My skin gets dry very easily so a great moisturizer is a must. The TATCHA Dewy Skin Cream is my new favorite. It feels very rich and thick which leaves my skin feeling hydrated and silky smooth.
+ FACE OIL - I love using face oils on their own and to seal in other products. My current go-to is another Agent Nateur product, their Holi (Oil). They classify it as an oil/face serum because it contains lots of amazing ingredients + different oils to benefit the skin. I've found it to give a fresh, radiant glow to my skin.
+ SPF - Okay, I lied. I've also been using the Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield for a few years now too. It's amazing! What I love is that it has SPF 50+, it's a physical sunscreen (it physically blocks and reflects the sun versus chemically absorbing it) and it has a slight tint that blends in seamlessly. This prevents any sort of white cast that often results from physical sunscreen ingredients (titanium dioxide + zinc oxide). I've also noticed that it absorbs well and doesn't leave my skin looking or feeling greasy. I hate the look + feel of a shiny, greasy complexion that a lot of regular sunscreens can give. If you're looking for a good face sunscreen, this one is very light and dries down well to a beautiful finish.
If you could only keep one skincare product, what would it be? I want to know your best of the best!
