Over the past year, I’ve acquired what I consider to be the holy grail of beauty and skincare products. I have combination skin and thankfully in my late 20s, my acne has gone away for the most part. (Besides an annoying zit a couple times a month.) I do tend to have sensitive skin. I filmed a YouTube video about them, but I decided to write them all out in a blog post for you also. You can find the YouTube video below:
Starting it off with some promo codes! “MEGANMACE” gets you 15% off all of the TULA site: https://bit.ly/3jEGN5C
I like to buy some of my favorite beauty products on Revolve because the codes “TULIP” and “CANDY” get you an extra 10% off, and they always have free 2-day shipping.
Cleansers:
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel: This is the cleanser I use more in the winter months as it works better on my dry skin.
TULA Cult Classic Cleanser: I use this cleanser when I can actually feel the oil on my skin. Definitely used a lot more in the summer months, but a couple times a week in the winter for sure.
Exfoliant:
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant: Again, this is a product I tend to use more in the summer months, but definitely use it a couple times a week in the winter. I really does make your skin smooth and exfoliated without over-drying.
Serums:
Herbivore PRISM Serum: This serum I’ve been using for almost a year and it’s one of those products I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about. It makes my skin glow and helps keep those pesky under-the-skin-bumps at bay.
The New Co. THE PILL Serum: I’ve been rotating this serum into my skincare routine in place of the PRISM serum and it does essentially the same thing, just a little less of the “glow.” If you gave oily skin I would recommend this serum over the PRISM.
Elizabeth Arden Vitamin C Capsules: THESE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. No, really. I’ve never seen my skin look better than after using these capsules. You can try a free sample at Macy’s before you commit, but just a warning, you’ll be hooked.
Acne Spot Treatment:
TULA Go Away Acne Spot Treatment: This stuff is hands down the best spot treatment I’ve ever used. I wish it had been around in high school when I had a new zit every day. CAUTION: It’s unbelievably strong. A little goes a long way and apply with a Q-tip.
Toner Pads:
TULA Balancing Act Toner Pads: I rave about these to everyone I know. They have helped my skin SO MUCH. I’ve never seen it so smooth and my pores so small. I didn’t know this, but toner pads actually help your skin absorb your serums and moisturizers better. I will forever be using these pads.
Dark Spot Corrector:
First Aid Beauty Niacinamide Dark Spot Corrector: This stuff is amazing for sun spots and acne spots. I used to use the Clinique Dark Spot Corrector but this stuff blows it out of the water.
Teeth Whitening:
Go Smile On-The Go Teeth Whitening Pen: I swear by this thing! I have very sensitive teeth, like can’t open my mouth the day after I used traditional white strips sensitive. This pen doesn’t bother my teeth and it’s so easy to use. I keep one in my purse and one by my bed. Best part? It’s only $19 and tastes like mint.
Moisturizers:
fresh Deep Hydration Cream: It will take a lot to get me to stop using this moisturizer. I’ve been using it for over a year and I’ve turned so many of my friends on to it. It hydrates without making me oily and leaves the prettiest sheen on your face. I use this everyday before makeup and before I go to bed.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream: If you have eczema or extremely dry skin, you can use this magical moisturizer anywhere. I don’t know what’s in it, but I know why everyone raves about it! I use it on my dry patches of skin I get throughout the year.
IT! Cosmetics Confidence in a Neck Cream: DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR NECK. For real, one of my biggest fears is getting “tech neck.” You neck sometimes shows your age more than your face can, so please take care of her! I love this neck cream by IT! Cosmetics.
Eye Creams:
Dr. Brandt No More Needles Under Eye De-Puff Cream: My mom and sister swear by this stuff! I don’t personally have puffy eyes, just sunken in and dark. If you have puffy eyes I can confidently recommend this one.
Dermalogica Vitamin C Under-Eye Cream: If there’s a place to use Vitamin C it’s under your eyes! I’ve been using this one for about a year now and I love what it does for me.
Self-Tanner:
Australian Glow: Y’all this stuff is magic! The base is more green so you won’t look orange at all. It also doesn’t smell and fades beautifully. I use the Dark color but will switch to the Ultra Dark in the summer.
Loving Tan: My second favorite self-tanner! This one gets me a little bit darker than the Australian Glow and works a little bit faster if you’re in a rush!
I can’t wait to see what you think of my favorites! Comment anything else I absolutely need to try!
