Skincare Routine: Moisturizers and Gels

This is my absolute holy grail product, hands down. I have been using this for at least 7 years, from when I first started taking my skin care seriously. I use it almost every single day, either as a lightweight moisturizer or as a base coat for a heavier moisturizer at night. I LOVE Clinique products and use a lot of them in my daily makeup/ skincare routine. They just came out with a Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly, which I found while looking for the link for the gel, and I cannot wait to try this as well as the new Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator

2. Beauty Counter Rejuvenating Radiance Serum

Similarly, with Clinique, I swear by Beauty Counter. I have not been using their products for as long as I have been using Clinique, but their promise to maintain ethical and eco-friendly beauty standards is something that really sticks with me. I use a variety of their products and have loved all of them. A testament to beauty counter, my mother's whole vanity is made up of basically all Beauty Counter products. She swears by them. I love this serum because it is lightweight enough that I can wear it under other products, but also something I can just wear as a primer for my makeup. 

3. Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream from ONDA Beauty

This is my primary night time moisturizer, especially in the winter. It leaves my skin feeling soft, revived, and well balanced. I usually wear this in the winter with the Clinique gel underneath. It is an incredibly clean and ethically produced product, which, if you haven't caught on yet, is something that I truly look for in a brand. Moreover, this cream, although thick, does not sit on my skin for a long time, leaving me oily. Instead, I put this on and it absorbs fully into my skin almost right away, a combination that is hard to find in such a hydrating product. I love ONDA beauty because I know that any product I find there is from a brand that has a similar ethically and eco-friendly based message behind it.
