Browsing through Sephora or the drugstore for skincare products can be overwhelming with the amount of options there are these days. There is a cream, serum or gel for anything you can think of. Since my teenage years, my go-to products come from Neutrogena and Olay. Not only do I find they provide great results, but they are affordable. If I am about to splurge on a Sephora skincare product, I like to purchase the smaller version initially to determine if my skin even likes it. In today’s post, I want to share a few favorites I have accumulated from the drugstore and recently two “higher-end” products from Sephora.
Olay – Firming Night Cream
My great grandma “Meme” swears by Olay. Her skin is beautiful and did I mention she is 100 years old? She has been using Olay for YEARS and it is still her go-to. I currently use the Olay Firming Night Cream before bed, but in the past I would use the daily moisturizing cream. I love Olay because it is accessible and high quality.
Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser
I’ve used this product since my early teenager days. I love it because It is a great make-up remover that doesn’t irritate your skin. I use it in the shower to wash off any make-up and clean my face before I use acne cleanser.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
This product comes as a recommendation from my mom. I feel as though I mention how dry Colorado is in every post so in an effort to reach my quota here we go… Colorado is DRY. Especially when I am using a drying acne cream my skin goes nuts with the cold and dry weather. The Hyrdo Boost Water Gel is perfect before bed or in the morning before you apply your make-up.
OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Eye Creme
On to the “higher end” products. I do want to mention when I say higher end, I just mean pricier. There are plenty of amazing products you can get from the Walgreens down the street. Anyway, I received the OLEHENRIKSEN (I’m not even going to try to pronounce that word) Bright Eye Cream as a trail size for free when I was making another purchase on the Sephora website. I had heard a few good things about it so I wanted to test it out myself. I ended up really liking it and apply it under my eyes in the morning before work when I don’t want to apply a ton of makeup to cover dark circles. I won’t go as far as to say the darkness is 100% gone, but I do notice a difference.
Summer Fridays CC Me Serum
I recently did a post reviewing the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask, which was no bueno (see that post HERE). But the reason I wanted to try the Jet Lag Mask was because I loved the CC Me Serum. This product helps brighten and provides a glow to your skin. The vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I apply this product every morning after I wash my face with water and before I add any make-up or go al natural.
I love trying new skincare products so if you have a current favorite, be sure to comment down below!
