Want to shave off a few years and make your skin look tight? Cool, me too every damn day and I swear these products work a shave off stress, lack of sleep and a few too many rays {please where that SPF!}. I’m expanding on my favorite skincare musts – all of which are available on Amazon. Before we jump, a few things you need to know: you don’t need to break the bank to have great skin, but I would venture to say that if you have great skin, you need minimal amounts of makeup. Let’s dive in in the order in which we use them, okay?
7 Skincare Products on Amazon You Need
Depuff with this Jade Roller
Not gonna lie, when I bought this I thought that it was bullshit that this $14 jade roller would make such a difference. I stand corrected. Wake up with a puffy face in the morning? Bags under your eyes? Me too girl, me too. Stick this bad boy in the fridge and roll that face first thing in the morning while you’re making your coffee and depuff. Even the twins like to roll it out.
Drunk Elephant Beste No 9 jelly
Wash, Rinse, Repeat – I have been using Drunk Elephant Beste No 9 jelly cleanser {$32} for almost two years now and I swear it’s the lightest, smoothest, face wash and it’s all organic too. It’s all you need to feel fresh.
Tinkle
Shave That Face – You read that right. Before you skip over this, NO you will not start looking like a chia pet if you stop. If you haven’t shaved your face yet with a Tinkle {$ 5}, you are missing out on the smoothest skin and an instant way to shave off a layer of dead skin cells that. Your makeup will lay better, your skin will glow. Try it. Not gonna lie to you, this is something I do once a month and in super private aka I’m not trying to have Eddie walk in on me, you know?
Replenix SPF
SPF Tinted Moisturizer – I think tinted moisturizer gets a bad rap for being too thick, too sticky under foundation, etc. This is not that. Replenix SPF {$30 -$40} has caffeine, SPF, It’s light and not too tinted. Most days I’m only wearing this with a few swipes of highlighter and of course a pop of lip.
The Holy Grail aka Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel
Okay so it’s night time and you’ve taken off your makeup or moisturizer, washed your face with Drunk Elephant now what? This is my holy grail. When you use it one time you will see a difference. After a week, you’ll feel a difference and after a month, everyone will keep asking you what are you doing to your skin? It’s a daily microexfoliant that’s safe for everyday, so no don’t think Samantha from Sex and The City all red faced that won’t happen.
No matter how drunk, how tired, how whatever, I use these every damn day no matter what. The key is to keep them next to your bedside table and do them in bed. There are two pads – the left side does the exfoliating and the right side does the anti-aging. You need both and do both. Anytime I’m asked what my number one skincare product is, it’s this – I cannot say it enough times. It is a little pricier at $88- $100, but it’s worth every damn cent.
Dr. Dennis Gross C+ Collagen Moisturizer
Smooth Me On Out – So now what? I take a little Dr. Dennis Gross C+ Collagen Moisturizer {$72}for the literal icing on the cake aka your face. It’s soft, smells amazing and a little goes a long way. It diminishes hard wrinkles and I noticed an overall tightness in my face.
Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion
Get That Body Tight – My best friend told me that this made her body feel like a baby’s ass all over, so I’m going to say yes, yes this is true. Get your hands on Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion {$17}. My skin gets SO dry and this cured it. The bottle isn’t super vibey, but it’s to the point and it works.
That’s it. I’m leaving you with this – your makeup will look like shit if your skin looks like shit. First invest in skincare, then invest in makeup.
What are your favorite skincare products that I should try?
