It’s been awhile since I’ve talked you about Beautycounter skincare. After starting to use the products this past fall I wanted to really give them a try, and see the results myself before devoting too much time to discussing them further on the blog {remember I’m sort of a skincare snob}. Well, the wait is over – and I am completely hooked! Switching up skincare products or your routine can be a little overwhelming for anyone. Even me, skincare junkie! I started with 3 Beautycounter products, and they have easily become my favorites. And now I’m ready to tell you all about them and how I have added them to my morning routine.
Check out why I decided to make the switch to better beauty products here!
Countermatch Adaptive Moisturize Lotion
You would think a moisturizer, is really just a moisturizer, right? How could you get excited and know the difference between a good one and a bad one? Well, let me tell you – you certainly can and this Countermatch Adaptive Moisturizer is a good one! For starters it’s super light {nothing worse than a heavy, greasy moisturizer}, and you only need a pump or two to cover your face and neck for the entire day. It’s called adaptive because it adjusts hydration levels for you throughout the day – how cool is that!? So it hydrates your skin, leaves it feeling smooth and gives you a healthy glow. It lasts forever too! I’ve been using the same tube since late fall and am just getting ready to start a new one.
Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream
Before using Beautycounter products I wasn’t actively using an eye cream. I have in the past, but couldn’t find one I really liked. I started to notice some fine lines around my eyes and knew it was time to add a cream back to my routine. I selected the Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream {sidenote: I’ve also heard really good things about this eye cream}, mainly because I loved the Countermatch Adaptive Moisture lotion so much – it is in the same line. OMG! After maybe a few uses {I use a little in both the AM & PM} I could already see a difference. The fine lines I had were pretty much gone, and the skin under my eyes is overall much brighter. And all it takes is a very teeny-tiny amount each day. I’ve tried a lot of eye creams, and this one is excellent!
No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil
This is the product I was probably the most skeptical, yet very intrigued about. An oil on your face!? I’ve used a lot of different skincare products over the years, but never oils on my face. But I wanted to splurge on something good to help with my sun spots/pigmentation, and this product is an award winner. I already knew Vitamin C helps diminish the appearance of sun damage so I decided to give the No. 1 Brightening Facial Oil a try.
If I had to pick only one Beautycounter product to use here on out I’d have a hard time giving up this one. Not only have I noticed my pigmentation fading, but my overall complexion is just brighter. It’s lightweight, does not make your face feel oily {it feels really smooth!}, has not caused any breakouts {in case you were wondering – I know I was concerned about that!}, and it has a delightful, light citrus smell to it. And all it takes is a few drops of the oil to cover your face and neck.
My Beautycounter Skincare AM Routine:
- After showering I add a few small pumps of the Countermatch Adaptive Moisturizer to my face and neck. Don’t forget your neck! It’s the first place you notice signs of aging.
- Next, I apply one teeny-tiny pump of the Countermatch Eye Rescue Cream to the tip of my ring finger and lightly dab it underneath my eyes and in the corners. When you apply the eye cream with your ring fingers you are less likely to drag or stretch your skin in this delicate area – fun skincare fact!
- Lastly, I add 2-3 drops of the Brightening Facial Oil to my face and neck. Remember a little goes a long way with these Beautycounter products!
Everyone has different skincare concerns and focus areas. I love that Beautycounter helps you decide which skincare products will work best for you by selecting these focus areas right on the site here {check one or all boxes that apply to you under the Concern section}. Then I’d recommend narrowing it down to a few basic products from there. A moisturizer, and cleanser is a great place to start.
As I mentioned in this post better beauty has started to become more important to me, and that is why I became a Beautycounter Consultant {and also because I love their products!}. If you have any questions please let me know. I’d be more than happy to share my experiences and help you find products you too will love!
