My Morning Skincare Lineup

My morning skincare lineup has come a long way…as in, it used to be basically nonexistent, lol.  Hey, sometimes it’s hard to even know where to start!  That’s why I want to share mine with you, because not only do all of the products work so well, but also because it’s a great foundation for a skincare routine for practically any skin type!  Also, all of the products are nontoxic, clean, & safe…which is super important to me because I try to minimize exposure to toxic products whenever possible!  It’s 100% worth the extra cost to know I’m putting safe ingredients on my body.  Our skin is our largest organ so it’s vital we don’t overlook the things we put on our body just like with what we put in our body!

My Morning Skincare Lineup

  1. I start with the Countermatch Refresh Foaming Cleanser.  I use this morning & night.  It’s super gentle, doesn’t leave your skin dry, tight, or oily, but it removes all impurities & makeup.
  2. Vitamin C Serum – I 100000% recommend this…it played a huge role in changing the way my skin looked.  It gives you a youthful glow, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and evens & brightens your complexion.  I prefer not to wear foundation and this product has allowed me to do that.  I couldn’t believe the change I saw after just one application the first time I used it…seriously.  Blew my mind.  It’s worth every penny…you only need 1-2 pumps of this, so it’ll last you a while.
  3. Adaptive Moisture Lotion – I was so happy to find this product because finally it’s a lotion that balances my skin’s moisture needs.  In fact, it is specifically designed to do just that: meet your skin’s level of moisture needs throughout the day!  So you won’t be dry or oily.
  4. Ultra Renewal Eye Cream – I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…if you’re 30 and not yet using an eye cream, it is time!! I’ve used this one for a while now and love it.  I also use it morning and night.  It helps reduce under-eye shadows, crows feet, and overall gives a tighter, firmer appearance.  It wears well under makeup too!

Another thing about all of these products is that a little bit of each goes a long way.  I know the products are investments, but what you buy will last a while.  I usually only have to restock on items 1-2x a year because such a small amount works for me.  That’s a huge benefit of these high-performing products with clinically tested ingredients.  They just work better than drugstore alternatives and therefore smaller amount of product gets the job done…whereas with drugstore products you may have to buy them every month and use a ton to even try to see a little bit of a difference, because those ingredients just aren’t as potent.  Or as safe 🙂

You can shop all of Beautycounter’s products here.  You can take this short skincare quiz to see what products are best for your needs, and feel free to email me if you need help!
