Look My Beauty is a beauty blog where you will discover natural ways to make yourself more beautiful. Looking beautiful will boost your confidence, so these tips are for anyone.
1. Daily Cleanser
This non-foaming cleanser helps improve skin barrier function and leaves the skin soft and nourished. It is especially ideal for those incorporating chemical exfoliation treatments into their skincare regime as it prevents dehydration.
This gentle cleanser is soap- and oil-free and suitable for all skin types, featuring probiotics and antioxidants to soothe your skin while leaving behind a refreshing fragrance.
It removes makeup quickly and conveniently comes in an acrylic paint-like squeeze bottle for use on the go. Packed with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to moisturize skin softness and hydration levels, this cleanser works best on those with dry skin as it may be too oily for those with sensitive or combination complexions; priced at $6 for 3.71 oz it still does its job efficiently.
2. Micellar Water
Dermatologists agree that the optimal micellar water is free from potential irritants like alcohol and fragrance. Its gentle formula works to cleanse away makeup and dirt without stripping your complexion of its protective layer.
Bioderma’s micellar water is an excellent solution for anyone suffering from oily skin. The formula helps balance sebum production for healthy, balanced complexion.
Our tester loved this option for sensitive skin, noting how easily it removed makeup, dirt and fine lines with ease. Plus, its formula does not contain alcohol or harsh chemicals!
This micellar water is ultra hydrating and should be the first step of our morning skincare routine. Containing pumpkin enzyme, willow bark extract and sambucus nigra flower extract, it helps brighten complexion and even out skin tone for improved skin brightness and tone.
3. Anti-Acne Moisturizer
If you suffer from oily skin, the last thing you want is for your moisturizer to contain comedogenic oils like coconut or cocoa butter that clog your pores and cause blackheads. Instead, look for products containing humectants such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin that bind moisture directly to the skin rather than creating an occlusive barrier and blocking out beneficial bacteria.
Hartman recommends this mattifying gel moisturizer for oily acne-prone skin that combines the pore-clearing benefits of 2% salicylic acid with complexion-perfecting ingredients like licorice extract (one of the top natural brighteners) and niacinamide, which fades dark spots over time. Plus, it’s fragrance-free, paraben-free and non-comedogenic so as not to clog your pores or cause breakouts (you can also try this formula for dry acne-prone skin!)
4. Eye Cream
Eye area skin is more delicate than other parts of your face or body, making it susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, dark circles and undereye bags. That is why using an eye cream specifically tailored for this region is highly recommended.
Robinson recommends this product from First Aid Beauty that instantly brightens with peach micro-pearls and gradually lightens skin over time with its combination of niacinamide and caffeine. “I love that this formula was designed with darker skin tones in mind – using ingredients like ash-tree bark to reduce hyperpigmentation!” she notes.
Dermatologist Joshua Zeichner praises Tatcha’s cream for its white peony extract and silk hydration properties, along with its gel texture which is beneficial for oily skin types.
5. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is one of the most essential skin care products you should invest in (and continue investing in over time), as it helps prevent the damaging effects of longwave ultraviolet A and shortwave UVB rays, as well as dark spots, uneven texture and early wrinkles.
Kosas’ DreamBeam formula stands apart from traditional mineral sunscreens in that it glides on smoothly without leaving behind an unpleasant white cast on darker skin tones, soaking into skin like water and doesn’t contain whiteness – unlike most mineral sunblocks! Packed full of moisturising ingredients such as shea butter and hyaluronic acid for long-term moisturisation while offering anti-ageing niacinamide support for anti-wrinkle benefits.
Recently, this product has been revised to remove oxybenzone (known as Jar Jar Binks of sunscreen ingredients) as well as several other harmful ingredients that had previously been present. Additionally, they now do away with other potential harmful ingredients as well.
