Hey y’all! I have been meaning to do a blog post on this topic for a while. I don’t think many people realize how crucial it is to choose safe skincare and beauty products. I personally started making the switch to cleaner products a few years ago when I realized I was spending time and money choosing organic, clean foods for myself and my family, but I was applying questionable skincare and makeup products ON my body. Our skin is a largest organ and absorbs anything we put onto it super quickly, so it’s important to choose products with ingredients you trust. Otherwise, what is the point of avoiding foods grown with chemicals?
I wanted to share the products I currently use everyday (this will periodically be updated as things change!). I am pretty low-maintenance when it comes to makeup and skincare, but I have my tried-and-true favorites that I’ve come to love.
Nighttime Favorites
Overnight Resurfacing Peel - I use this every other day - it smells so fresh with a hint of citrus and makes your skin feel SO soft in the morning.
Rejuvenating Night Cream - The Rejuvenating skincare line is Beautycounter’s anti-aging line, and I love it. I use this most nights.
Countermatch Recovery Sleeping Cream - this has hyaluranic acid which is intensely moisturizing. I love this cream and use it whenever my skin is feeling dry.
Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream - I use this each night. You only need a TINY bit.
No 1. Brightening Oil - I use this last. Just a few drops all over your face and neck. Gives you an immediate hydrated glow.
Countermatch Intense Moisture Serum - This is another product I use a couple times a week whenever I need some extra moisturizer. It has hyaluranic acid and makes a huge difference if you have dry skin.
Morning Favorites
Countermatch Adaptive Moisture Lotion - great for all skin types, and the lotion I use every day after I wash my face.
Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream - same as my nighttime routine. I just use a tiny bit under each eye.
No. 1 Skin Brightening Oil - same as my nighttime routine. I use a couple drops after I moisturize to give my face a bright glow.
Makeup Favorites
Volumizing Mascara - I LOVE this mascara. I wasn’t a huge fan of the original lengthening formula, but this is my favorite mascara now.
Tint Skin - I use the Linen shade. Beautycounter’s version of foundation. Has a bit more coverage than Dew Skin, and I love to use them both together.
Brow Gel - love this stuff, but it runs out quickly and I’d recommend getting two with each order! It’s super quick to apply which is needed for busy mornings. If you haven’t considered filling in your brows, it makes such a big difference.
Bronzer - I really like both bronzers. The matte bronzer doesn’t have any “glimmer”, so it just depends what you need.
Lip Sheer - this is like a deeply tinted chapstick. Goes on so smooth.
Lip Gloss - not sticky, which is why I love it. Feels very smooth on your lips and gives a subtle shine. My favorite color is Peony.
Satin Powder Blush - I use Melon and Guava.
Neutral Velvet Eyeshadow Palette - This is what I use day and night. I love warm neutrals!
Color Intense Lipstick - A much more intense lipstick and amazing when you need more color. I love Garden Party and Little Black Dress.
Dew Skin - If you’re going to get one makeup item from Beautycounter, I would do this! It’s a tinted moisturizer and the product that started my love for the brand. It is lightweight, gives your skin a nice dewy glow, and has spf. I use No 2. If I need a little more coverage, I add in a little Tint Skin, but for everyday makeup, I just use Dew.
Concealer Pen - amazing for under eye brightening, but I use it for spot treatment too.
