The Secret to Glowing Skin

skincare

I just completed my second round of Accutane which is known to have EXTREME!!! dry skin as a side effect. After a total of almost 2 years on the medication, I’d like to think that I am the queen of finding hydrating products that save my skin.

PETER THOMAS ROTH WATER DRENCH

The top runner for me is this hyaluronic cloud cream. I used to think that expensive skincare was a waste of money and didn’t give better results, but this one changed my mind. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized FOR AGES! It feels very light compared to others I’ve tried, so I like to use it in the mornings. I linked the travel size which is the perfect way to try it out while saving some money.

FIRST AID BEAUTY REPAIR CREAM

I had actually never tried this brand until recently when my mom found it at Ulta. My skin had been so dry that it was actually painful and I couldn’t find a night cream that I loved. I felt like I could see a difference in my skin by the next day and haven’t looked back. The ingredients are super clean and are great for sensitive skin. I prefer to use it as a night cream because it feels thicker and heavier than my other products.

LUSH FACE SCRUB

I have used this one for YEARS. It’s all natural ingredients like everything else at Lush, so it’s another good one for sensitive skin. It doesn’t have any sort of smell and the texture is so nice. If your on Accutane or from a cold climate, you probably have flaky skin and need some sort of exfoliator. The finely ground almonds leave you with glowing and fresh.

CereVe PM FACIAL MOISTURIZER

I wanted to include a more affordable option and this is the best drugstore moisturizer I’ve found. It’s super lightweight and doesn’t make my skin feel super oily like the others I’ve tried. It’s cheap and gets the job done!

THE BODY SHOP BODY LOTION

My legs are the first thing to get dry in the winter. I have a few favorite lotions and creams, this being one of them! I put it on after I shave and it does wonders… Also smells sooo freaking good.

HEMPZ BODY MOISTURIZER

My tried and true body lotion since like…… 7th grade? Smells undeniable good and makes your skin feel so soft. It’s also so affordable and can be found at a variety of places! I like that it comes in a big jug so I don’t have to worry about replacing it often.
