Top five skincare products that you couldn't live without
Top five skincare products that you couldn't live without
"I'm a beauty editor. I have a lot of opinions about skincare. But one thing that's really important to me is knowing the ingredients in the products I'm using on my face, and that they're actually good for it. So, after reading labels and talking to experts, here's a list of my top five favorite skincare products:
Platinum Lux Instant Face Lift
Platinum Lux Instant Face Lift is a serum that helps to keep your skin looking young and healthy. It's great for people with dry skin, because it moisturizes the area without making it greasy. The product also protects the user from sun damage, which can cause wrinkles and other blemishes in later years.
The reason why this product is so effective? It contains hyaluronic acid (HA), which attracts water molecules from the air around it and locks them into your skin cells like tiny little sponges--essentially plumping up your face! This allows you to look younger longer by keeping moisture levels high in those areas where they naturally decline over time: namely around the eyes and mouth area.
SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic
SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of age spots and skin discoloration. It also contains hyaluronic acid to help moisturize your skin while you sleep. This product is well worth the money because it works so well!
Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment
The Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment is a cult favorite. It's the perfect product for aging skin and those who want to exfoliate their skin without using harsh chemicals.
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that naturally occurs in milk, making it safe for all skin types (including sensitive). This product helps to gently remove dead cells from your face, leaving behind brighter and smoother looking skin after just one use!
It's also great for acne-prone individuals because it helps to control oil production on your face while also reducing inflammation caused by breakouts.
Paula's Choice 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant
This is a chemical exfoliant, which means it's not the kind of product you should be using daily. However, if you have an acne-prone or oily skin and want to clear up some of those pesky blackheads and small bumps, this product is perfect for you. It also helps with fine lines and wrinkles as well as brightening the overall complexion.
The Paula's Choice 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant works best on dry skin types but can also be used on other skin types with caution--in other words: don't get carried away! If your skin is too sensitive for chemical exfoliants like this one (or any other type), consider using an enzyme-based peel instead--that will give similar results without having to worry about irritation from acids or alcohols in many products.
Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle Peel Pads
-
Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle Peel Pads are a great alternative to chemical peels, especially if you don't want to spend money on an expensive facial at the spa. They're made with glycolic acid, which helps exfoliate dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.
-
The pads come in a box of 25 and should be used twice daily for best results--morning and night is ideal--but there's no wrong way to use them! You can either rub them directly onto your face or apply them with your fingers before massaging into the skin in circular motions for about two minutes each time. Your skin will feel tingly after using these pads (that's normal), but if it becomes painful or sore then stop immediately!
These are five of the best skincare products on the market.
