Hot Summer Days & My Top 5 Favorites To Hydrate My Skin
Summer is here and they aren’t what they use to be. And by that I mean they’re only getting hotter which means my skin will be extra dehydrated. So it’s right about this time that I’m usually looking for new hydrating products to use. Luckily I have my Top 5 favorite skin care products to share with you. If you’ve got combination dry/oily and tend to lean more on the dry side— then you’ll appreciate these products.
Milky Cleansers
I’ve been testing out cleansers for a while now showing no particular loyalty to one brand. These days I tend to listen to my skin a bit more rather than sticking to one type of cleanser everyday just because I purchased it. But, miraculously I’ve come across a cleansing milk cleanser that is not only gentle and effective, but is also incredibly pleasant to use daily. Lanoline Clear Skin Cleansing Milk is a New Zealand brand that uses natural surfactants to cleanse and refresh the skin without any tightening. This product has got lots of great ingredients to keep skin clear and healthy and I couldn’t be happier with it. The best part is a little goes a long way!
Silky Serums
The next step in my skin care routine these days is using a serum. I’ve been a fan of Valjean Lab products for a long time and am in love with the way my skin feels after I apply Valjean Labs – Firm Vitamin E + Feurlic Acid. Vitamin E is a great humectant for the skin and feurlic Acid is a great antioxidant that enhances Vitamin C and E!
Hydrating Masks
Ever since I purchased the Andalou – 1000 Roses Rosewater Mask I’ve been using it at least 2-3 times a week. Containing Rose stem cells, hyaluronic Acid, aloe Vera and pomegranate— it’s a great mask to nourish and boost hydration to your skin. Simply apply a light layer and then rinse after 20 minutes or so.
Replenishing Moisturizers
Botanicals is another brand I’m very familiar with, but I decided I wanted to give their night creams a go. I’ve been loving their Botanics – Radiant Youth With Ginko Replenshing Night Cream it provides just the right amount of hydration to the skin and sinks in quickly leaving my skin feeling replenished.
Creamy Eye Cream
Lastly probably the most well known of these five products is the Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado . It’s an Uber hydrating eye cream that contains fatty acids, avocado oil, Vitamin A and is just creamy goodness. Sometimes i like to leave a layer on the skin under my eyes to sit for a bit before patting it in. It’s the only eye cream I’ve ever repurchased on a few occasions. Check out my post on Kiehl’s to learn more about their other products.
There you have it. My top five skin care products I’ve been loving to keep my skin hydrated this summer.
