For those who may not know this, I’m a HUGE skincare and beauty junkie, haha. I love finding new products that genuinely help the overall health and appearance of my skin. That means that I sometimes tend to over-buy alllll the skincare and makeup goodies that I can get my hands on. 😅 With that though, I’ve had a lot of trial and error as to what I personally believe has worked best for my skin! So in today’s post, I’m sharing my current beauty favorites & must haves. Of course everyones skin is different, and when it comes to finding that perfect skincare or beauty system, I highly recommend taking a skincare quiz to help you find your own personal system tailored for you to help get you on the right track.
Here are my personal February Beauty Favorites and Must Haves:
#1 – Glossier’s Coconut Balm Dotcom
I’ve been obsessed with this lip balm. Not only does this leave your lips hydrated longer, it also doubles a cuticle salve! I don’t know about you, but I love when beauty products can be used for more than one purpose! With this balm, you don’t even need to constantly reapply throughout the day.
I recommend purchasing the trio set for $30 since this saves you a few dollars. My go-to scents are the coconut, mango, and rose, but there’s lots of other options to choose from.
Retail Price: $12
#2 – Dime Beauty’s Wonderscreen Sunscreen
If you don’t use a sunscreen in your daily makeup routine then here’s your sign to add one to the lineup! I never realized how important sunscreen is for our faces, especially when it comes to protecting your skin from potential sun damage, like skin cancer.
This is one of the better sunscreens on the market at the moment with a high percentage of zinc oxide in it’s formula – 19%. Zinc oxide is the key ingredient or actual barrier layer that is meant to protect your skin from the sun. Most face sunscreens surprisingly have a low percentage or even no percentage of zinc oxide in them.
Retail Price: $44
#3 – Dime Beauty Luminosity Eye Serum
I recently started using an eye serum before applying my makeup and I’ve noticed a huge difference in the overall appearance of the dark circles under my eyes. While this product doesn’t necessarily give you instant results as soon as you apply it, over time, the more you use it the more you will notice results! I’ve been using this for almost a week now and can see the dark circles becoming lighter.
Alittle tip, when applying this or any eye serum, use your ring finger because it’s considered to be the most delicate finger, and under your eyes is considered to be a sensitive area. You wouldn’t want to use your pointer finger as it more strong.
Retail Price: $38
#4 – Hello FAB Coconut Water Cream
This has been my holy grail face moisturizer for years now! I’m not a huge fan of most moisturizers that are more of a lotion type consistency, so that’s why I ditched and switched to more of a water/gel like consistency. It doesn’t feel super heavy on my face, which I like, especially since I layer it on with other products and makeup.
This is worth every penny and smells so dang good. The only thing I wish were different was the size. I’ve used larger moisturizers for the fraction of the cost of this stuff, but again the cream itself is worth every penny. Alittle bit goes a long way!
Retail Price: $36
#5 – Bliss Acne Spot Treatment
For any acne or breakouts, I typically use Dime Beauty’s Wonder Patches, but because I ran out and had a little friend pop up on my chin, I snagged this at Walmart so I had something on hand to use fast. I’m on day 4 of using this and so far I’ve had no reactions, and the redness and pimple itself seems to be going away.
I apply this 3 times a day like it recommends, but you can use this just once a day as well. I just wanted faster results!
Retail Price: $15
I know most of these beauty products I mentioned today are a bit of a splurge, but they have truly changed the overall health and appearance of my skin!
As always thanks for reading. If you have a favorite beauty product, I’d love to hear what it is! Like I mentioned above, I love finding new things to try.
