You’ve probably caught on by now that I have a major crush on Beautycounter products. They are significantly safer than any other skincare and makeup products on the market and the results are amazing without using 1,500 questionable or potentially harmful ingredients. If you want to learn a little bit more about my why behind Beautycounter, check out this post: My Skin Story + Why Beautycounter.

Essentially, for me (and probably you too), I emphasize my focus on eating wholesome, nutritious foods, exercising consistently, and minimizing stress… so why would I slather potentially harmful ingredients on my skin to be absorbed into our bloodstream? Considering the safety of my personal care products just makes sense. It fits in line with my lifestyle, and once I began to learn about the unregulated beauty industry, I wanted to be part of the mission of getting safer products into the hands of everyone.

I am glad I discovered Beautycounter when I did because as I close out my twenties, I find myself more focused on preserving the youthfulness of my skin while simultaneously using products that are not only better for my body, but the environment too.

I’m so happy that Beautycounter is finally doing a % off sale (rather than the usual free gift with purchase) so that those who have been curious about it, can give a try. If you’re like me, switching to safer personal care products doesn’t have to happen overnight. Even if you start with one item (your body lotion, shampoo, or face wash) and make a slow transition, it’s better than nothing. #switchtosafer

My Skincare Must-Haves:

No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil – 7 plant based oils that will not make you break out! They are full of antioxidants and fatty acids to fight aging. The brightening oil has added vitamin C for an additional radiance boost. I also like to add a drop or two to my hand cream or rub in to my cuticles — it’s multipurpose!

Rejuvenating Radiance Serum – The Rejuvenating Collection is great for anyone wanting to combat signs of aging (sign me up!). I use this serum both morning and night under my moisturizer to reduce fine lines and pore size, and improve skin tone.

No. 3 Balancing Facial Mask – I love this charcoal mask that balances the skin by absorbing excess oil, draws out impurities and reducing the size of pores. I use it about once a week, and sometimes more during that time of the month.

Overnight Resurfacing Peel* – a.k.a. the miracle worker! The texture of my skin has improved so much since using this peel 3-4x a week. It’s gentle, but high-performing with 15 botanically-derived acids that both exfoliate and sooth the skin.

My Makeup Must-Haves:

Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer – I am obsessed with the sheer, dewy, lightweight coverage of this tinted moisturizer with SPF 20. This is my daily face sunscreen/makeup that also provides moisture and a bit of color.

Lip Gloss – Peony is my daily go-to that I always have on hand. It’s shiny without being sticky and is great to layer over a Sheer Lipstick.

Volumizing Mascara – I fell in love with the Volumizing Mascara first, as I love bold lashes, but the Lengthening Mascara is a close runner-up. I switch between the two depending on the mood I’m in.

Makeup Remover Wipes – I can be a bit lazy sometimes about washing my face at night, and these are perfect for just that. They are larger in size than many other wipes I’ve tried and truly leave your skin feeling clean. Plus, you can compost them — woohoo! These are a must for camping, the gym, and for lazy nights!
