I finally made it! I’ve been scrubbing my head lately that I wasn’t able to share my skincare favorites in the past 2 years, so here’s a sum of products I’ve tried and loved, and I see myself buying again!

All the products mentioned are made with all natural ingredients, no dyes, perfumes (only of natural origin) or preservatives.

SCRUB

I personally don’t think you should invest your money in a face scrub, since you can easely can make your own sugar or coffee scrub, but if you really must! go ahead and try EARTH HARBOR CITRINE SEA PURIFYING EXFOLIATION POTION, a triple-action microdermabrasion Exfoliator + Cleanser + Mask that brings warmth, purification, and balance to your skin. Lush Botanical Oils synergistically combine with finely tumbled Sea Salt Crystals, liquified Turmeric, and micronized Citrine Gemstone to smooth skin, calm flare-ups, and deeply cleanse pores. 

PEEL

INSTA NATURAL GLYCOLIC PEEL professional grade but not the price, with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, to help remove those pesky sun spots for a brighter and hydrated skin.

MASK

and a scrub also, BLUE DAISY ESSENTIALS for Sensitive Skin *organic, can be used daily because it has very nourishing and healing ingredients such as chamomile, calendula and aloe vera, anti-aging and smoothing wrinkles from rice and rosehip powder.

Barie Powder is for radiantly smooth, fresh, and glowing skin.

CLEANSER

AVEGAN BEAUTY DETOX CLEANSER this cleanser will always remind me of my starting point in my journey transitioning from my favorite cleanser from Clinique, and I’m so happy I found a better version of it, with more powerful ingredients that delivers every time.Anti-aging, reducing redness and calms kin, helps remove any dirt in the pores (makeup) without stripping the skin, Lactic Acid along with organic chamomile and sunflower oil to balance the skin and restore as they cleanse.

BLU FERN HYDRATING CLEANSER is great for people with dry mature skin, normal and/or sensitive, has aloe vera, coconut milk, sea algae, and oat protein to help calm irritation, detoxify, soothe, hydrate, and nourish in order to balance and restore your skin’s natural microbiome. 

TONER

In the past couple of year I didn’t really put that much attention into my skincare needs, and recently I’ve noticed more visible pores, so using the FACETHEORY CERA-C PORE REDUCING TONER helps with that, but also has ceramides and 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3) to balance oil, promote elasticity, and fight those aging signs.

EARTH HARBOR TIDAL ROSE is an upgrade from the basic rose toner, it’s infuses nutrient-dense Seaweed with high-vibration Rose Quartz Rosewater, antioxidant-rich White Tea Extract, and beautifying Persian Lilac Extract, to locks in moisture, soften skin and restores pH balance while metaphysically balancing energy.

FACE SUNSCREEN

I cannot tell you how important is to incorporate in your skincare routine products packed with SPF, and this EARTH HARBOR ECLIPSE  is a lightweight, clean, broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen lotion that helps protect skin against sunburn, skin damage, early aging, and environmental stress. Reef-safe, non-nano, and 100% mineral-based with Zinc Oxide, Macroalgae , and Green Tea Extract to protect skin against UVA and UVB rays, blue light, and pollution damage.

SERUM

I must say all your money should go into a good serum, and it was hard decision for me to choose, but these stand out:

EARTH HARBOR AURORA  Sea Greens + Cannabis Sativa Hemp Oil and pacifying Grapeseed Oil + Neem Seed Extract. Let Aurora’s intoxicating, therapeutic aroma of Magnolia Blossoms transport you into her calming phenomena.

The result is skin that is balanced with a decreased appearance of oil and breakouts. Perfect for that time of the month!

SERUM OIL

Serum Oils are the perfect combination between a serum and an oil, so kinda great for busy people who don’t have a lot of time in the morning.

OKOKO LES 16 PRECIOUX great for AM and PM, is rich in nourishing oils and botanical extracts with anti-aging properties of bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, with the firming effects of white lupin to promote youthful, more radiant-looking skin with every use.

Affordable too! Use it to remove your makeup too if you want to go more minimalistic.

FACE BALM

JNLNATURALS FACE SALVE TIMELESS (was Face Cream) is the most amazing face balm I’ve used currently, it helps reduce skin puffiness and locks in moisture, reduces fine lines and is protective agains the environment.

MOISTURIZING OIL

If you like an oil better than a cream (it comes with age 😉 then I want to suggest these great oils that are amazing on their own

EARTH HARBOR CALYPSOis perfect for dull and dry skin and also preventing signs of aging. The beautiful orange color is from Seabuckthorn seed oil that I adore.

ORA’S AMAZING MAGIC FACE POTION has a combination or meadowfoam, calendula, rosehip, pomegranate, and sea buckthorn oil that makes this oil indeed a magic face potion: it hydrates, repair, is anti-aging and protective.

KATARI BEAUTY ROSEHIP OILIf you look to invest in a single ingredient product, RoseHip seed Oil is the best anti-aging oil I will recommend, and you want the best quality of it, and Katari Beauty has the beautiful Rosehip is 100% pure, cold-pressed Rosehip Oil, from dried petals and fruit of the rose bush grown on small farms in Egypt’s Delta of the Nile. These farms have used sustainable irrigation and growing practices since the time of the Pharaohs. 

NECK CREAM

In my opinion, right now everyone is using their face products all over their neck and chest, so investing in a neck product is not necessary in my opinion, but if you really must, like I did out of curiosity, try 100%PURE RETINOL RESTORATIVE NECK CREAM concentrated with hydrolyzed quinoa promotes elasticity for a firmer, more lifted neck. Retinol reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, niacinamide brightens and balances tone, and olive squalane and hyaluronic acid lock in hydration for smooth, supple skin. 

NIGHT SERUM

100%PURE MULTI-VITAMIN PM SERUM is an absolute favorite that I kept repurchasing. For me, at nighttime, is when I give the best nutrition to my skin, and this serum is wonder worker, packed with Coenzyme Q10, Retinol, Niacinamide,Vitamin E and C, is reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increase firmness and elasticity, and brighten and even skin tone.

NIGHT MOISTURIZER

NATURALLY SERIOUS SLEEP OVER RETIN-OIL if you are looking for an affordable product, anti-aging, that hydrates well but without a greasy feel, and has the power of retinol, you have to try this amazing oil.

EYECARE

FACETHEORY OCUWAKE EYE CREAM this eye cream feels very lightweight and it fights to combat bags and wrinkles, brightens skin and soothes the skin. It’s also very affordable!

100%PURE PM EYE TREATMENT This serum is really amazing, leaving the skin round the eye well moisturized and nourished, helping fight fine lines, increases firmness and elasticity and brighten. I’ve already repurchased this 3 times, so it’s a keeper!

LIPS

CLOVE & HALLOW LIP MASK it’s definitely more than a lip balm, with ingredients that nourish but also stimulate collagen production, so I find it the most effective when I apply it right before bed.

MAKEUP REMOVER
