I’ve rounded up health, wellness, and skincare products I use everyday that I absolutely swear by. No, none of these items are sponsored. I do work with Alastin as of recently, however, I had already been purchasing their products way beforehand. All of these are my honest reviews and opinions.
- ALASTIN SPF TINTED MOISTURIZER (here): You guys, SPF is so important for daily skin protection. There’s no such thing as starting too early when it comes to skin care. I would suggest beginning in your early 20’s if possible. But the earlier, the better. I use Alastin’s tinted moisturizer every single day. It’s my final layer on days I don’t wear make up or the layer I apply before foundation when I’m putting on a full face. Alastin’s tinted moisturizer is my favorite one I’ve tried. It has pretty solid coverage which is great for those no make up days. I apply two pumps to my face and neck. I bought my first tube a year ago after my first facial and have been addicted since. I’m now on my third!
- OLLY VIBRANT SKIN GUMMIES (here): Okay, I don’t know what it is about these gummies but I swear my complexion is so much brighter. I was taking their Flawless Complexion ones before I switched to these. I did see a difference however I see way more of a difference with Vibrant Skin. I get all my Olly products at Target. They run about $14 a container and each lasts a month.
- OLLY RESTFUL SLEEP GUMMMIES (here): I’ve had trouble sleeping my whole life. In addition, I’m also an extremely light sleeper. I was taking ZZZquil for awhile but I hated the sleepy hangover the dragged into my mornings. When Olly came out with these, I wasn’t sold. However, my best friend had me try one during my bachelorette and HOLY FREAKING COW… LIFE CHANGING. This is legit a product I will use for the rest of my life. When starting out, take only one – do not take the suggested two. One will be more than enough since your body isn’t accustomed to it. If you take two, beware of gnarly nightmares! I didn’t start taking two until about two months in and it was only during the days I had pre-workout or coffee too late in the day. These gummies knock me out within 15 minutes and I feel extremely refreshed when I wake. It doesn’t matter how early I wake up, there is no sleepy hangover. I also don’t take these everyday. I only use them when I need to because I don’t want my body getting immune to them.
- BELIF AQUA BOMB (here): If you have dry skin, you are freaking welcome for this recommendation. No matter what moisturizer I used to use leading up to this, my peeling dry spots never went away. No matter how much I applied or what I did, my skin was literally forever dry and applying foundation was such a pain. My bestie, Halee recommended this Belif Aqua Bomb cream to me and good Lord, yet another product I cannot live without. It’s amazing because it has a translucent gel-like consistency so it doesn’t leave your skin oily like most moisturizers do. A lot goes a long way which I also love and ever since I started using it, I’ve never had any dry or peeling spots. Purchase the value size (largest jar). It’s worth it and will last you longer.
- DR. DENNIS GROSS EXTRA STRENGTH DAILY PEEL (here): Another Halee McKenzie recommendation. I was looking for something stronger and better than masks but something more convenient than going in for a facial every month. These peel pads work wonders. It’s pretty much a daily anti-aging AHA/BHA extra strength peel that combats common signs of fine lines and aging to reveal radiant, smooth skin. There are a few different types but I, along with all my friends whom all swear by it, use the daily extra strength ones. I have somewhat sensitive skin and these are fine – no side effects. Upon initial contact/wipe, they will have a tingling almost stinging sensation but it’s totally fine, don’t worry.
