Some of my favorites this year! I’m also adding more lux products to my routine this year so I can’t wait to add those to my essentials and prayerfully works well with my skin!
Check out my pinterest page, here for the variety of products I’m interested in or that have caught my eye! I still research here and there when I learn of a new product to ensure it’s going to be right for my skin type and concerns to be added in the essentials list vs the luxury list. That list is coming soon, because luxury in every aspect of life is a theme in this space!
Additionally, eating + drinking the healthiest of options also helps to get this glowy skin group project done, you hear me?! And let’s not forgot, I use thicker products in the cooler months and lighter ones in the warmers one. I find this technique works great for MY dry skin and encourages my needed self-care time daily.
Do you use any of the products listed above? What’s your holy grail or essentials list? Let me know in the comments below! Cheers to healthy skin in 2022!
