If you take a look at my bathroom shelf, you’ll quickly realize I am a skincare addict. I’m a sucker for a good moisturizer, oil or mask and I’m also not afraid to admit that new product launches are like Christmas morning for me. Plus I am happy to use both high-end skincare products from websites like the Victorian Cosmetic Institute as well as budget skincare options. Personally, I find that a combination of luxury and basic products works best for my skin. So, with this in mind, I’ve decided to share a couple of my new favorite products! Your skin will thank me later.
Farmacy’s Very Cherry Bright Vitamin C Serum
Farmacy is my all-time favorite skincare brand and they definitely didn’t disappoint with the launch of their new serum. The Very Cherry Bright is a 15% vitamin C serum that combines acerola cherry and hyaluronic acid to brighten, hydrate and firm the skin. The serum also has soothing botanicals and peptides, which eliminate skin irritation. The great thing about this product is it’s not sticky and it’s very lightweight, which makes it perfect for both A.M. and P.M. use!
Ole Henriksen’s PHAT Glow Facial
Give yourself the gift of a fancy facial, but in the comfort of your own home and cheaper! The PHAT Glow Facial is made with polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), Nordic birch sap and pink bentonite clay. Polyhydroxy acids are the gentler version of alpha-hydroxy acids and while they have the same properties, they both exfoliate and brighten the skin, the PHAs are gentler on the skin. The clay gives the mask a nice frosting-like feel and helps acne-prone skin, while the birch sap hydrates and brightens. A must-try!
Kylie Skin Coconut Body Lotion
I have to admit; I haven’t tried a lot of Kylie’s products. I’ve heard many people say they are over-priced and over-hyped, but her coconut body lotion is neither of those! The body lotion contains coconut oil, soothing oat extract and Indian ginseng. All of these ingredients are full of antioxidants and do a stellar job of hydrating the skin, while not giving off an overwhelming coconut scent. This is my after shower savior – love it!
