Over the past couple of years, I’ve really honed in on my beauty routine and the products I absolutely love. I went a long time without a routine, now I just can’t say no to taking good care of myself! There are so many wonderful products out there. Today I’m sharing my favorite beauty go-to products.
My Favorite Beauty Go-To Products
Aquaphor
Would you believe me if I told you my number one secret to fighting dry skin is Aquaphor Healing Ointment? It’s my absolute favorite beauty product. I’m an addict and cannot live without it. I use it in my morning and evening routine to keep my lips and skin moisturized year round. I’ve been using it for years and don’t know what I would do without it. Major #AquaphorLove
Now my little beauty secret is yours. Say goodbye to dry skin and hello to sweet softness every day. Take it from me, you will wonder where it’s been all your life!
Neutrogena Hydro Boost
Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost line is perfect for keeping your skin healthy, moisturized and fresh all day long. Your whole body will be thanking you. Mine sure is! The line smells fresh, glides on and keeps you so smooth and soft. The hyaluronic acid in the Hydro Boost Body line carries up to 1000x it weight in water.
The Hydro Boost Gentle Cleansing Gel starts my evening skincare routine off right. A cleanser that’s gentle on my skin is very important to me. This mild hypoallergenic face wash leaves me with a fresh face and starts the hydration process.
I’ve been using the Hydro Boost Multivitamin Booster before putting on my moisturizer everyday. I love giving my skin that extra boost of vitamins.
Sunscreen
I did not protect my skin as I should have in my teen years and 20’s. When I should have been slathering on the sunblock I was laying out getting a tan. Growing up in Southern California I spent (and still do) a lot of time in the sun. While I was preventative when it came to sunburns, I was not careful about general exposure to the sun.
Now I use sunscreen every day. I’m very much a Neutrogena girl. For my face, I’ve been using the Ultra Sheer sunscreen for years because it is lightweight and non-greasy. The Hydro Boost line has an amazing gel lotion sunscreen. When they came out with their new hydro boost gel lotion sunscreen I was so excited to try it. It didn’t come as a surprise at all when I immediately loved it. The neck and decolletage are exposed to a lot of sun and we forget to protect them. It’s not fun to have skin look ten years older below the neck!
Clay Mask
Neutrogena’s invigorating deep clean mask was just what I needed to refresh my skin this winter. I love using this purifying clay cleanser and mask at night as part of my wind down routine. Going to sleep with soft clean skin feels so good.
L’Oréal Paris Revitalift
When you hit your 30s you start to notice your skin change. It produces less collagen and doesn’t bounce back like it used to. I’m a firm believer in spf, moisturizer and protecting your skin. I use a face moisturizer after showering to lock in moisture. There are a lot of amazing options out there. L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Intensive Moisturizer is wonderful for firming skin, reducing fine lines and moisturizing.
Max Mineral Lotion
Peter Thomas Roth Max Mineral Naked Broad Spectrum SPF 45 UVA/UVB Protective Lotion is just the right light coverage. Full of vitamins combined with a diamond powder this vanishing universal tint will nourish and give your skin a beautiful glow. I love to layer it over my moisturizer or under my favorite makeup for a polished look. On laid back, low key, days I just rock the Mineral Lotion on its own.
FIRMx® Peeling Gel
I never say no to more youthful skin! I love adding an exfoliant into my skincare routine. Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx® Peeling Gel is not only effective it’s also gentle enough for sensitive skin. Impurities are removed, clogged pores are cleaned and I’m left with a silky smooth and radiant look. I love the multi-action enzymes of pineapple, pomegranate, and keratinase that doesn’t leave your skin dried out! Your skin is soothed and hydrated with the glycerin & hyaluronic acid.
Sugar Scrub
I love a good sugar scrub for exfoliating and taking care of all the dead skin that can build up! This Lavender & Sandalwood scrub is amazing. I’m in love with the scent and find the olive oil incredibly smooth on my skin.
Lancôme Retinol
Very pleased with this retinol. Be sure to follow the directions and start out slowly on the usage and then work your way up to more frequent use. It really depends on your skin. I have an established skin care routine of daily moisturizing so I didn’t experience much dryness from the retinol thankfully! It is a concentrate so a little goes a long way. The most important quality for me is that it’s gentle on my skin and as long as you let your skin get used to it you will love the results! I’ve been using it for about a month now and I’m very happy with my skin texture. If you are new to retinol this is a great product and I think you will definitely be happy with the results after consistent use! I apply the retinol at night and let it take care of my skin as I sleep!
Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment Wand
This Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment Wand is the best invention ever. It has two lights that fight acne. A blue light for fighting bacteria and a red light for calming inflammation. Where was this wand when I was in high school, right?!
Loreal SerieExpert
I’m super hard on my hair. I blow dry and curl my hair almost every day. With all that heat I’m not very nice to my hair. Loreal’s SerieExpert line is fantastic. I wasn’t expecting it, but I started seeing the difference after the first time I used the shampoo. My favorite product in the line is the leave-in conditioner. It makes my hair feel all sorts of smooth, soft and cared for.
Multitasking Styler and Dry Volume Blast
Living Proof’s Multitasking Styler and Dry Volume Blast are staples when it comes to styling my hair. The Multitasking Styler can be applied to wet or dry hair. I mix it up adding it to my hair before blow drying or smoothing over my hair after curling. For a boost of volume, the Dry Volume Blast is amazing for adding body and texture to my hair.
Dry Shampoo
From hurried mornings out the door to a boost of volume, dry shampoo is a life saver. For healthier hair, I’ve been training my hair to go longer between washing. One trick I use to refresh my hair is to spray dry shampoo in before going to bed. On days when my roots need a little extra lift, I use it to gives it that added volume. I am in love with Dove’s coconut scented dry shampoo, which I keep a to go can of in my purse. I’m a fan of Not Your Mother’s dry shampoo as well. I use Dove for extending the freshness of your hair between washes and Not Your Mother’s for boosting volume.
Mineral Deodorant
I bought this Mineral Deodorant at Manufaktura in the Czech Republic and absolutely love it. Its a pure natural deodorant made of a unique mineral called alum. It’s hypoallergenic and fragrance-free making it perfect for sensitive skin.
