My Favorite At Home Chemical Peel

in ,

Looking for a professional at-home chemical peel that will exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, and decrease the appearance of Scars, Wrinkles, and Fine Lines?

This Salicylic Acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, and deep cleanser is used to minimize acne breakouts by working deep into the pores where oil, dirt, and other impurities build up and block the follicle of the hair. Salicylic works to unclog the pores by increasing the cell turnover rate.

This peel is infused with a unique combination of botanical extracts that work synergistically to provide natural anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties.

The best part? Each bottle will last 15-20 full face peels

NEW: Skin Twin Foundation

in ,

BeautyCounter’s release of their new foundation, Skin Twin was met with A LOT of praise (aka the Zoe Report among many others)!

I finally got my hands on my shade (Med 310) and I wanted to give y’all my honest review!

If you want to see Skin Twin in action… I shot an IGTV to show you how it stands up to my former favorite It Comestic’s CC Cream! I also showed off my favorite brushes I use to get an airbrushed look and a secret brush cleaner that all the celebrity makeup artists use! I will link everything below for you to shop or you can click HERE to watch my IGTV!

Okay… back to Skin Twin! I love it because they made it breathable, buildable and packed full of hyaluronic acid to visibly plump the skin.

There are 18 buildable shades so finding something that is your “Skin’s Twin” is easy - there is also a shade finder tool or if you are like me and want to talk to someone about it… just shoot me a DM or leave a comment below!

The foundation is weightless, long-wearing, and very natural-looking. It truly feels like a second skin.

Here are some of the Benefits:

  1. Second-skin wear: Blends seamlessly into skin for a weightless, breathable, natural finish.

  2. Lasting coverage: Provides buildable light-to-medium coverage that lasts all day

  3. Skin-care benefits : A potent dose of hyaluronic acid visibly plumps and smooths skin immediately and helps to minimize appearance of fine lines over time.

  4. Fragrance Free

AM + PM Skincare Routine

in , ,

Why I went “ALL IN” with BeautyCounter….

I am a self-proclaimed #BeautyJunkie. That coveted Rouge Membership at Sephora doesn’t come easy :)

And at the end of the day, BeautyCounter just made sense.

I have a background in government relations and also managing a medspa, so the advocacy for clean beauty coupled with high performing products was a match made in heaven!

I have tried just about every beauty procedure and product on the quest for beautiful, youthful and healthy skin.

When I set my goals for this year - I dedicated the first 6 months of 2020 to test and commit to a skincare regimen that was going to be beneficial and something I would be consistent with. No more jumping around based on the next promotional email I received from Sephora and Ulta.

And while I love brands like Skinceuitcals, Peter Thomas Roth, Tatcha, Avene, Is Clinical among others… they all lacked something. BeautyCounter is more than just skincare and makeup. It’s a movement and something I’m proud to use!

So without further ado… scroll down to see the products I use and let me know if you have any questions!

My Skin Care Routine

Products are listed in the order I use them, along with AM & PM use noted.

*All of the Countertime products contain natural ingredients comparable to retinol—without harmful side effects such as skin irritation and increased sun sensitivity!

Morning skincare routine

Evening Skincare Routine

As needed:

  • Face Oil – I use this when my skin is particularly dry.

  • I also use the Supreme Night Cream in the morning if my skin feels extra parched for some reason.

  • Leopard Headband

If you want to get the best bang for your buck I would suggest getting the Countertime Collection or the Countertime regimen. Everything above (except for the facial oil and lotus cleansing balm) is apart of the Countertime Collection.
