One of the perks of my job is getting to try lots of beauty products, some that are mainstream and some that are just coming out on the market. I try each and every product I get personally so I can curate a list of what I like best and report back to you.
As the weather changes, our beauty routines change with it. But finding what products that are right for you can be a long and expensive challenge. I understand so I am doing the work for you! I have broken down my spring beauty must haves into a 4 part series and first up is products for the face.
Since I was in my early 20’s I have been obsessed with anti-aging products. I always prescribed to the theory that prevention was half the battle. I still feel that way, however as I get older I am even more committed to maintaining a youthful complexion. Much of what I have chosen is for that purpose, but but each product is great for having healthy, happy skin.
1. Organic Doctor Aloe Vera Wipes: Ok, I know I’m a tad bit premature on this, but these wipes are great for a post beach excursion. If you are going on a pre summer trip, take this along! I use them to clean my face and they work without drying out your skin.
2. Bare Love Face: This is a night lotion that is really hydrating. If you tend to have dry skin, this is a good option for you. Slather this on and you will wake up with super soft, supple skin. It also helps prevent premature aging and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
3. Manuka Doctor Purified Bee Venom Face Mask: This face mask is really great for stimulating collagen and giving you an overall firmer appearance. It goes on creamy and you leave it on for 30 minutes then simply wash off. No peeling, no residue. I’ve been using it twice a week and so far my skin feels soft and looks really healthy after.
4.Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-aging Treatment Boosting Cleanser: This is a really great cleanser. Not only does it smell good but it also has little granules that exfoliate and really get my makeup off. Some cleansers leave a lot of makeup behind, but this stuff really breaks it down and gets it off while also contributing to keeping my skin youthful.
5. Dickinson’s Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes: I am obsessed with these. I was using regular makeup wipes before but these are so much better. I use them right after I cleanse my face just to remove any excess makeup that may have been left behind. They don’t dry out your skin and they get all your makeup off. They have no soaps, fragrances, oils, dyes, parabens or sulfates so my skin feels so good after I use these. The packets make them easy to travel with too. Trust me, you need these in your life!
6. Sonya Dakar NutraSphere Collection: Sonya is skin magician and has created a detox for your skin. The package comes with everything you need to work from the inside and out including vitamin packs for morning and night. I think a round of this periodically is a must, particularly if you are hard on your face like I am. If you tend to have problem skin, you may consider using this more frequently.
7.Environ Ionzyme Focus Hydrating Serum: This stuff really works! It’s a hyaluronic acid serum that helps improve dry skin, fine lines and photo-damaged skin. It makes your skin look plumper, firmer and more youthful. It is a pharmaceutical grade product which is available through doctor’s offices, medical spas and wellness centers. I noticed a dramatic difference after the first use. I’ve been using it both morning and night and my skin has never looked better.
9. GlyTera-GL: If there were a fountain of youth cream, this would be it. This is a product that must be seen to be believed. It’s a two part day and night cream that work together to tighten and firm the appearance of loose and saggy skin. It also reduces age spots and improves wrinkles. Let me just tell you, this really really works. I noticed it after just one use, so if you have been thinking about Botox, but would prefer something topical, I am highly recommended this product.
10. WEI Face and Eye Lifting Pads: Last but certainly not least these pads are awesome. They are like a facelift in 10 minutes flat. You put the pad on, sit for 10 minutes and remove and you have noticeably firmer skin. I’ve used each of them once and was really amazed at how fast they work.
Since using these products my skin seriously looks better than it ever has. I really think these are skincare must haves. If you have questions on any of these products feel free to reach out on Instagram, Twitter or Email!
