The Skincare Duo That Changed My Skin

October 13, 2018 by Hillary Leave a Comment

I wasn’t born with flawless skin.

Let’s be real, who is!?

Then enter nearly a decade of battling acne and not wearing enough sunscreen for my fair, freckled skin… here I am at 29 already treating acne scars, sun spots, and fine lines.

Luckily, I have a better understanding now how to take care of my skin (hello SPF and moisturizer!), so – fingers crossed – my thirties will be a better decade for my complexion than my twenties.

My skin has responded well to Beautycounter products, but it wasn’t until I started using the Overnight Resurfacing Peel (a.k.a. the miracle worker!) in tandem with the Rejuvenating Radiance Serum that I started to see a noticeable difference.

For the past 8 weeks, I have been using the peel 3-4x per week, and I have been using the serum 1-2x per day. I can’t wait to see how my skin looks and feels after 12 weeks, and 16…

Both products help to increase radiance and even skin tone, but I imagine the peel is doing a lot of the work with 15 botanically-derived acids that gently yet effectively exfoliate your skin. It also works to minimize the appearance of pores, fine lines, and dark spots without irritation or over-drying. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is the texture of my skin – it’s so smooth!

Overall, my skin tone is more even, fine lines aren’t as prominent, and any dullness has been replaced with a year-round glow – hallelujah!

My Results Using the Overnight Resurfacing Peel & Rejuvenating Radiance Serum

  • The texture of my skin is smooth and soft
  • My skin tone is more even and brighter – it glows!
  • My pores are less prominent

Benefits of the Overnight Resurfacing Peel

  • Promotes cell turnover for a smoother complexion
  • Minimizes the appearance of pores
  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines
  • Reduces appearance of dark spots and age spots
  • Evens skin tone
  • Boosts radiance

Beautycounter’s Chief Scientist called the Overnight Resurfacing Peel their “most high-performance product to date.” This peel will give you quick results versus some of the other Beautycounter products that take continued use to notice a visible change.

How should I use the peel?

  • Use the peel 3-4x a week at night in place of your serum, before a moisturizer
  • Wait 3-5 minutes after applying the peel before applying your moisturizer and eye cream
  • Leave on overnight and complete your usual morning skin regime – no need to rinse off

How does the peel work?

  • 15 botanically-derived acids resurface your skin without causing irritation – it’s gentle, yet effective!
  • 9 of those are resurfacing acids that work to renew the skin by sloughing off dead skin cells
  • 6 are soothing acids that rehydrate and replenish skin
  • Note: skin does not actually peel or flake off like a peel that you may get from a dermatologist


Benefits of the Rejuvenating Radiance Serum

  • Helps even the look of skin tone
  • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
  • Improves hydration
  • Lightweight and easily absorbed

How should I use the serum?

  • Use morning and night after cleansing, before applying moisturizer
  • Massage gently into face and neck with upward strokes, follow with moisturizer

Beautycounter is proof that safer products can be high-performing, too.

Beautycounter is committed to a health and safety standard that goes well beyond what’s required by U.S. law. They prohibit the use of more than 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals, all while ensuring the products perform and that they’re as indulgent as any other luxe personal care product on the market.

Cheers to safer skincare and happy, healthy skin!

❷⓿❷⓿ - moved clear across the country to ❷⓿❷⓿

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣

I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
